Because I've been slacking off on my reading, and summer writing can also be nonchalant.

Did I ever tell you I love Jeopardy!? I love it. I love to pretend that I'm on the show, buzzer in hand. I may attempt to go on the show someday. Of course that will be the day that the Civil War is championed and many questions are concerned with world captials, or some such schnap. Lately there was a contestant that was so reminiscient of Spicoli it was laugh out loudable.

Did you catch the Mtv movie awards? I thought Sara Silverman could have been much funnier, and I thought everyone seemed weird. Is it really happening? Am I really getting old? Of course, I liked the Amy Winehouse performance, although she seems like she might not be nice. I respect her (and want to stroke her grey tattoos), but I think I'll keep a respectable distance. She reminds of PJ Harvey and R&B and ... prison. Isn't it strange that with the advent of internet publishing there is hardly any time between a debut and wild success? I don't know if I like it or not. I don't like to feel left behind.

I can't wait to get more into Sound. I'm almost afriad of it. Quentin is just so lost and hurt, he's irresistable.

Amy Winehouse kind of breaks my heart. I love her new CD and I think she's really hot. But I read this rather ridiculous interview of her and her new husband which made me sad for her. Perhaps this is arrogant of me; of course, I really don't know this person AT ALL, so my judgment of her is certainly not sound. My intuition tells me that she is headed for a fall. Oddly, I think she will NOT end up in prison, and, hopefully, after her heart is broken into a million pieces, she is going to put out even better albums that demonstrate a newfound maturity. She ROCKS.

Quentin. Quentin also breaks my heart. When I read his lengthy, convoluted speculations on the past and on himself, I think, well, I think if I were smarter, younger, male, and growing up in the South....there I'd go. He is so very good at trying to understand "sin" and the past and taking on the weight of everyone else's guilt. And I find no redemption for him.
