book: Love,Leda by Mark Hyatt.
Mark Hyatt was illiterate until his early 20's, only published 1 novel, and killed himself at 32.
I started this on a flight to LA and finished it on the way back to Philly. took me around 12 hours and as soon as I finished it I started it again.
some descriptors:
1960s London ( when being gay was a criminal offense )
Back to back one night stands
A bisexual who knows he’s gay and why he’s gay.
lots of tea
many baths but no showers.
Gardenia and chicory
Wandering and doing nothing as a valid educational adventure
Knife to the gut one liners
Ever been on a 72hour first date?
Ever wander the entire night alone?
Ever love someone that is always leaving?
film/actors: Franz Rogowski (actor)
I watched Victoria, Passages, Undine, Bird, and Great Freedom. A longer review of those films some time but Victoria is the one I'm still thinking about. As far as new actors in their 30's goes, he's my favorite of that category. watch his interviews too. he gives great answers to bad questions.
perfume: the Quartana line. I've been switching between 5 different samples but Bloodflower has me by the throat
Bloodflower: Licorice, Anise, Blood Accord, Cloves, Orris, Bulgarian Rose, Amber, Patchouli .
There's something kind of slutty about it. its vampires blood. a fresh wound. fleshy. sweet, warm, boozy. Somewhere between the Times Square PLAYPEN neon in the 80's and the current Sunset Park 3rd ave porn shops.
music : deep into King Crimson. When I was 15 I bought "In The Court of the Crimson King" and hid all of my Led Zeppelin records. This is probably the longest revisit I've had with them since then.
food: Licorice. cant get enough.
drink: Trader Joes Winter Wake Up Tea. unassumingly great.Very fragrant and spicy. licorice, cinnamon, orange peel, ginger, and cloves with black tea. I simultaneously sip and inhale for maximum effect.
last show: Laraaji at the Rotunda. it was of course, a spiritual experience.
garment/ accessory: loud and round clip-on earrings
obsession: Salvador Dali perfume bottles.
complaints: WHY DO MOVIE TRAILERS NEED TO GIVE AWAY THE WHOLE MOVIE? WHY?!
grief: RIP LA and David Lynch
praises: your used CD's at the thrift store. THANKS!
