Forbidden Beat

I'm listening to one of my old Bad Religion albums right now..."Suffer". I believe I bought it around the age of 13 and used it as my wake-up alarm for a spell (which my mother was not happy with). But I would have to say that my favourite Bad Religion album of all time is probably "The Process of Belief". But I'm sad to say that I haven't been keeping up with them anymore, despite the fact that both Greg Graffin and Brett Gurewitz are one of the reasons why I started writing song lyrics at that time...Them and, of course, Michael Stipe.

I have a lot of books that I've been currently reading. I wish I had a quieter place to read, most of it gets done in the latest hours of the night (around the time I do my laundry). Recently, I found my copy of Soren Kierkegaard's "The Seducer's Diary" and Ralph Waldo Emerson's essays and poems, both of which I thought I had misplaced. Now if only I could get back my copy of Milan Kundera's "The Book of Laughter and Forgetting"... I recommend any of these books.
I've also started reading the novel that a movie I quite like is based on: "Mysterious Skin" by Scott Heim. The film was done by Gregg Araki, who ususally is known for his experimental teen films, but took a serious turn for this one and I'd say he did a very good job. The subject matter is very dark, so I wouldn't suggest it for all.

No idea why I feel the need to do my laundry at times like 1 AM. It seems reasonable to me to do it at those times, much to the confusion and annoyance of a few others. Maybe it has to do with the fact that I like to wake up with my pants fresh out of the dryer. There is nothing like putting on warm, clean clothes in the morning (especially if you live in a cold basement like I do).

I really need to get around to finishing watching Z (a foreign film from the early 70's).
And in other news, the TV remake of the Andromeda Strain is hilarious....They really messed that one up.
