music head

today i'm going to the gym for the first time in 9-10 weeks. i'm not particularly out of shape because i've been running around so much. and i was never that in shape to begin with anyway. in other words, there wasn't a lot of shape to lose.
my friend peter hedges has a new movie out-- dan in real life. peter graduated from NCSA as a drama major 3-4 years before i did, and came back my senior year to create a theatre piece for us, which was one of my favorite college experiences. it was called a report on the solar system and we got to smash pies in each others' faces at the end. (i smashed mine a little hard and still feel guilty about hurting shad's nose.) peter went on to have his novel, what's eating gilbert grape? directed onscreen by lasse hallstrom (i got to go to the sneak preview), had several plays produced in new york, and continued writing screenplays. pieces of april came out i guess almost four years ago now. i'm happy for him, he's doing so well. i may try to see dan in real life today.
i have been downloading a lot of new music lately.
