So ... 10 things that is ...
SHARE TEN (10) THINGS THAT BRING YOU JOY:
1) Jurassic Park and Teenage Mutant Ninja Turtles movie - if only because they bring me back to my childhood and the many, many weekends these were watched.
2) Listening to a song that gives you goosebumps - for example, an 11-minute track by Underworld that pays off nearly 6 minutes into the song... (8 Ball...)
3) Hearing kids in my class discuss art randomly in conversation - whether it be why Van Goghs work is so expensive or how they can see they have improved since they've been in my class.
4) Seeing U2 live - in fact, seeing any band I obsess about live: Radiohead, Coldplay...
5) Watching Michael Jackson perform - simply flawless. How can a human move in such a way??? How can someone have such a voice!
6) The Great White Dope said this, but I agree, with the joy found when finding those online folk who have the same obsessive interest about cinema as I.
7) Laughing so hard you are in tears - namely in one instance when a close friend and I were quoting 'The Office' and simply couldn't stop and, more recently, when David Cross performed for twenty minutes and nearly killed me... "fool me seven times - what am I? idiot of the month?"
8) A certain buzz that happens when I am walking home from work [on a good day...] and I think "Man, I'm an Art teacher, how fantastic is that??". Teachers out there - we are a part of such a great profession! A certain pride is never a bad thing.
9) Getting some positive feedback on the podcast - and realising that not everyone is sick of us ... yet ...
10) Reading some incredible news about a sequel to a film I adored. (Batman 3... Jurassic Park 4... )

Oh dear, I'll need to do this on a special day when I can actually think of 10.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the reminder that I need to listen to more Underworld. I've always dug the songs that Boyle puts on his soundtracks, but never really dug deeper, which is weird, because they're totally my style. Need to remedy that.
ReplyDeleteDone and done... thanks for thinking of me. Also, I just listened to the last episode of the S&J show. Good stuff... I will keep an eye out for Gainesburgh (or whatever it was called... ha) and I definately need to see Double Indemnity!
ReplyDelete@Mike - I rarely do these things myself but thought, whatever, its all fun and games 'innit.
ReplyDelete@Fletch - You were going to be in my 10, but I knew someone else would choose you and, alas, Kai did so! You are right about Underworld - i have four of their albums and they really are fantastic! Additionally, Massive Attack, Leftfield, UNKLE...
@Kai - Glad you liked the latest show, its always strange when we do the more obscure ones but, mroe often then not, they pay off. Again, this week Gainsbourg is in the top 5 London box-office... Simon and Jo, always ahead of the game!
TMNT kicks ass, good sir, and thank you for acknowledging it.
ReplyDeleteThanks for the shout-out guys, really appreciate it.
