it's my party and i'll be vague if i want to....

okay, it's official. i cannot get this man's music out of my head. you know why, though? because he FEELS what he's singing. he pours a part of himself into it. that and the r&b vibe/occasional hip-hop beat is really quite appealing to something in me right about now. and when i'm driving up and down the 95 corridor between here and silver spring, i need a little pick-me-up. but sometimes i find myself crying, not because of the words he sings, but more because of what the music is doing...or the back-up singers....or some little nuance or the way his voice will crack. that's the stuff right there....

so aside from all of this, i watched a couple of movies tonight, one of which was 'the royal tenenbaums'. i gotta say - i had a hard time staying awake - and, in fact, took a little 30-minute snooze during the middle of it - because it just WASN'T doing it for me. a couple nights back, i watched 'the good girl' and that didn't really cut it either. last night, however, i watched 'barbershop', and for some reason, i was feeling that. i guess because there was actual humor in it and not just some 'artistic' obscurity. whatever. i have no patience for such things these days....

you may have noticed: i seem to be watching an unusual number of films of late. yes, yes, it's true....but part of it is because i just don't feel like socializing much. i'm in a retreat and re-group phase. not sure how long this will last. until then, i'm using up some blockbuster coupons while i got 'em....

in other news, the jig is up....
