Louise's fav videos: Save Me

-
There is some music which never ceases to grab me by the heart.

Take this classic Aimee Mann video woven in and around clips from the 1999 film "Magnolia."

If you've never seen this Paul Thomas Anderson masterpiece (an entire film built upon Aimee Mann songs) then I advise you to find youself a copy and savor every moment of it.

You could say Magnolia is the operatic version of Altmans's similarly themed (1993) film Short Cuts.

Truthfully, any of the work of Aimee Mann is worth spending time with.

And if you're a Julianne Moore fan, then you'll be pleased to know that she's in both these films. Actually, if you're really, really a Moore fan, and you haven't seen Short Cuts, then you'll be really grateful you did. * I digress.

In any case, here's the video of "Save Me."

Mr. Varvel, you know me so well. LOVE this!!! It's beautiful.
Must repost this on my blog, now.

This song is so me.

If I could put this song on a t-shirt and wear it, I would.

Thank you!

Mysterious Skin: Amazing night of theater at East West Playersysi

-
Last night I made my way up and out of Orange County to go see Mysterious Skin, written by Prince Gomolvilas now enjoying it's Los Angeles premiere at East West Players. ***Note:  I am not a reviewer.  I am not a critic.  (I married one, which is why I can say with confidence, I am not this.  If you want real reviews of Mysterious Skin  you'll have to look to other publications wise enough to have send their press in to cover this show now running at East West Players.) Me? Currently, I am just an Orange County mom who loves theater almost as much as she loves writing.  (True, I used to act, but now I just "mom."  And I write.  But, again to clarify: Not a critic.) And these her blogged thoughts are just my day-after impressions after having seen some great theater in Los Angeles last night. I have to say, I was in a hurry.  I had my kids to juggle,  too pick up from their schools...Dance classes, etc.  Hustling them home (interesting choice of words, in r

I tried to flush Schaeffer's sweater down the toilet.

Especially when those paths go back even farther than high school.  I think he and I were butting heads as far back as elementary school! If my memory serves me right, Schaeffer and I ended up, briefly, in the Guilford Central School together.  Fall 1968.  Yep. I was a newly transplated girl from New Orleans dropped unceremoniously into a tiny, extremely humble elementary school out in the boondocks of southern Vermont.  I had NO idea what the hell I was doing there and was suffering my own case of "Other-itis."   I In my case, as an only child of often charming, but highly eccentric parents, my wild ride hit some very bumpy patches, More on that later. Back to Eric:  See as a newcomer that year to Vermont from New Orleans I had an accent.  I wore dresses and probably continuing too make my parents happy by literally curtseying to the adults they trotted me out to meet. Politely.  Of course.  That was my job.   I can promise you, however, once you curtsy to a farmer, y
