so today for class i watched "adaptation" which is screenwriter charlie kaufman's film about his attempt to adapt "the orchid thief" into a movie. and it was amazing! man, it seriously blew my mind....so good. having talked about screenwriting issues in class, reading orleans book....i just connected with the movie. it was so very brilliant. i was able to get over my dislike of nicolas cage for two hours.
so i would definitely recommend reading "the orchid thief" then watching "adaptation" in that order. or read the book if you've already seen the movie...stuff will make sense.
so only a couple of weeks of school left. a lotta stuff going on still. two papers this week, working a lot, final presentations and tests to prep for....its crazy! i've read so many books this semester...some good, some bad, all experiences i'm glad i had...and still about 3 or 4 to read still! i want to keep this up after i graduate.
so ashlan's first full-length album is officially being printed, and i'm so excited for it to just be done and in our hands. we have a cd release show at kuppajoe in fresno on the 22nd, so that's gonna be really fun. here's a sneak peek:
coachella's coming up!
here's my new friend the Phalaenopsis named Susan:
