Day 107: April 17, 2009

Question 41:
Which celebrity would you most like to see in person?

Responses:
  • As is performing? Watching a performance in person? Present: Madonna. Past: Harry Houdini. She’s gotta be magic, she looks too buff to be human. Actually, the same goes for Harry…
  • Everytime I meet a celebrity I get so disappointed. I've met my favorite idols a few times now and I walk away thinking, well that was terrible. They are so depressed, not that pretty, really rude, disgusting!, swarmy, just like everybody else. I like the mystery. However, if Anna Farris stayed in character I would want to hang out with her always! She is ridiculously funny. I would also want Woody Allen to direct me in a film, but not to talk to me ever off of the set.
  • See? None. Do naughty things with? Kevin Spacey and Bruce Willis.

Song:
Left and Leaving, by The Weakerthans

Lyrics:
My city's still breathing (but barely it's true)
Through buildings gone missing like teeth.
The sidewalks are watching me think about you,
Sparkled with broken glass.
I'm back with scars to show.
Back with the streets I know
Will never take me anywhere but here.
The stain in the carpet, this drink in my hand,
The strangers whose faces I know.
We meet here for our dress-rehearsal to say " I wanted it this way"
Wait for the year to drown.
Spring forward, fall back down.
I'm trying not to wonder where you are.
All this time lingers, undefined.
Someone choose who's left and who's leaving.
Memory will rust and erode into lists of all that you gave me:
A blanket, some matches, this pain in my chest,
The best parts of Lonely, duct-tape and soldered wires,
New words for old desires,
And every birthday card I threw away.
I wait in 4/4 time.
Count yellow highway lines that you're relying on to lead you home.
