What the mother crap is up with my Myspace info. I just read what I'd written in the "about" sections? And some of it's...well, it's essentially "about" some other person. Why did I put that I am interested in Japanese horror movies? Why did I say Pat Benatar was my hero? And for writers, all I could think of was Anne Tyler, Oscar and Dorothy?
Jesus.
The thing about the Klingon is true. And by posting that, resulted in, let's just say, more than a few Friend requests from...well...
About the Japanese horror. No fucking way! I'd researched the originals of The Ring, The Grudge and I read about Audition and found some clips. My summary is, let's just say the very idea, the description, of any of Takashi's films is quite enough for me. I don't want to have those images in my head. (Yes, good question, why DO I research and learn all about it then? I have no fucking idea. I guess I was in the middle of being horrified by Japanese horror when I first made the Myspace page.)
Years ago I accidentally saw The Cook, The Thief, His Wife and Her Lover once. Once. I cannot extract those parts of my memory no matter what I try. I wish I could un-see it. One day I shall be senile and I reckon I'll have the wits still to say "I may not know who you are, but at least I forgot about...well whatever it was, that's awesome."
As for Pat Benatar. I don't have a single record, and I crack up whenever I think about the "Love is a Battlefield" video. I think, though, that she was a rocker. A real rocker, and opened the door for a lot of women after her. There'd be no Madonna if not for Ms. Benatar.
I should totally get some Pat Benatar rekkids.
As for writers, my GOD. I'd better update this Myspace page soon...
