Webpage I'm currently reading: Twin Peaks Timeline (spoilers)
I still count Twin Peaks as one of my favorite television shows, although it wasn't something I was fanatic about, and I've never been that taken with its mythology. It's one of those shows that I watched for the humor, mainly. So yesterday I saw the first half-hour or so of Fire Walk with Me, the TP movie, and started looking up TP stuff that I was foggy on. I've had this page up on my PC ever since. Basically it confirms for me that it was as impenetrable as I remember, and there are no definitive interpretations, but also allows me to get caught up in the intracacies again.
Book I'm currently reading: The Broker by John Grisham
Grisham is a little out of his league in this one, I think -- governmental stuff and CIA-type intrigue are not his strong points. But I always enjoy his plotting, and this one has one of those protagonists that you can't actually count as a good guy, but you root for anyway. He does that pretty well.
Last movie I saw: National Treasure
I liked this a lot more than I should have, considering the plot holes and some stilted dialog. And didn't really like the chick with her weird accent. But Sean Bean and Nic Cage were good, and the pacing was really excellent. I found the flaws completely forgiveable. It's always a good sign when coincidences and repeated lucky breaks make you chuckle rather than roll your eyes.
Music I'm currently listening to: Jackson Browne
K. made a JB compilation CD, which I've got in the car. I find I'm not that into the songs of his I used to like best, but instead like "Lawyers in Love," "Tender Is the Night," and "Somebody's Baby" (so far). His voice has always fascinated me, so pure and straight-forward. And in my range, too, which is a big plus for singing along (that's such a difficulty with They Might Be Giants for me).
