Things are going increasingly well. I am about to explode, I am so happy with how things are going. Lots of ideas are coming and I am actually getting a lot of things done. It was good to have the holiday break last week. It made me realize that I can make it on my [...]
Watching a biography of Andy Warhol. Like that he tried at one time to do everything. He seems like a fucked up guy, but very productive. I don’t know if i want a crazy atmosphere like his factory, but I would like a group of people who could create together. I would love to go [...]
Been getting a lot of work done lately. I just put up my brianparis.com site up today. I don’t really like it, but at least something is up there. I’ll redo it at some point. I think that I will just be able to watch Football tomorrow. That is a good way to finish up [...]
Well another Thanksgiving is in the books. Watched some football and got some work done. I don’t really get into holidays. I was invited out to many places, but chose not to go anywhere. I guess that people don’t like to see others alone on holidays. It isn’t so bad being alone. I have spent [...]
Went out to see Triple Whip last night. They has a little cake at midnight for Holly’s birthday. That got me to thinking about my start in music. I didn’t grow up liking music. I listened to some thing, but I wasn’t really into anything. My first introduction to local music came from Holly Rushakoff. [...]
Robert Altman died today. M.A.S.H., Nashville, and others. He was a great director. His use of overlapping dialog and large cast was amazing. I can’t imagine putting something like those together. Watched a recorded show “Studio 60 on the Sunset Strip.” I like the show a lot. Hope that it makes it, but it is [...]
Went out to Bloomington with Jason today. First we hit Craig Raycraft’s house. I am going to do a Prairie Fire story on him so I needed to check out the location and get to know him a little. He did a documentary film on the Kickapoo Creek music fest. The biggest music fest that [...]
Bears win!! they are 9-1, beat the Jets 10-0. Colts lose for the first time. Put my Christmas tree up today. It is a little 3ft thing that my mom gave to me years ago. It has little optic fibers running through it that change colors. I guess it is OK. Well Merry Christmas anyway.
I am about to go fucking nuts. The damn people who live above me are stomping again. Why would anyone even be awake at seven on Sunday? So I have decided that this is what I need to do. I have decided to hook up with some random woman and stay at her place all [...]
Went for a walk tonight. It was pretty cold out there, but I like it a lot. Don’t understand those Southern California people who never get to experience winter. There is something renewing about the changing of the seasons. The constant change gives you a chance to re-evaluate how your life is going. If it [...]
