Woke up on the floor and chatted and drank coffee with J., went out for a Polish breakfast -- over-easy, white toast, hasbrowns and grilled veggies -- by myself, next stop: the video store to return WAITING FOR GUFFMAN, FIRE WALK WITH ME, and the first season of TWIN PEAKS. Then I went to the beach, hiked along the rocks, fearless of a swarm of bees circling my body like little fighter planes. I sat on the rocks and stared at the birds, boats, clouds and mountains, stashed my hoodie in the bush and found it without any eerie stains, saw a bumper sticker on a rusty old truck that said "Men Who Change Diapers Change The World". . . now I have a 12 pack of Lucky Lager and a documentary about a Scrabble championship.
TWIN PEAKS was an interesting first season -- quite good. Though sometimes the "weirdness" just feels like "art for the sake of art." The gender stereotypes could have been twisted and churned. The series did have me captivated, and Kyle MacLaughlan is quite the actor.
