I recently realized that I'm in a mood for change.

It should be interesting to see where that goes.

"The Rules of Attraction" sees a home video release this coming Tuesday, 02/18.

Then, this Friday (02/21), "American Psycho" sees a network television premiere on USA. That should be interesting. They'll probably cut out half the movie, so I'd be better off not watching it. Lest I have some desire to be very, very pissed off..

My impatient side recently prompted me to download Unloco's "Becoming I" and Stereomud's "Every Given Moment".

It's kinda strange. Unloco seems to be a bit lighter and Stereomud is a bit heavier. I haven't listened to "Becoming I" all the way through yet, but there is a lot of acoustic guitar, which surprised me. Perhaps Unloco is opting for a more commercial appeal. That's not necessarily a bad thing though. It still seems to be a pretty good album, just exceptionally different from the last.

"Every Given Moment" is so much different from Stereomud's debut that it caught me off guard. Almost all of the songs are much more impactful/hard-hitting than anything from "Perfect Self". I was surprised by all of the changes that their sound seems to have taken, but it's a pleasant surprise. Thus far, I think this album kicks ass and it blows their debut right out of the water.

Tentative (as always) release dates for them are as follows (pluggin' away):

Stereomud - Every Given Moment (03/04/03)
Unloco - Becoming I (03/11/03)

Also..

I mentioned how much I like the new material to Erik (Stereomud's singer). He described it as "Heavier, but more melodic." He also went on to say that "We are all real proud of it."

Oh dear.. that's just not the same.

"Former Marilyn Manson bassist Twiggy Ramirez is rumored to be a strong candidate to fill the currently vacant bassist slot in A Perfect Circle. Ramirez would replace Paz Lenchantin who recently left the band to join Zwan full-time. A Perfect Circle are of course presently working on their new album for Virgin which they expect to release later this year."

  I can't help wondering if some people just got together and said "Ok, what's the worst idea for a summer 'rock' tour that we can come up with?"..

"Linkin Park turntablist Joe Hahn recently commented to Launch that the band will be embarking on a Stadium tour with Metallica and Limp Bizkit this summer, for the full article click here."

"It appears as though bassist Paz Lenchantin has now left A Perfect Circle to join Zwan full-time as rumors have begun to circulate recently regarding the remaining members of A Perfect Circle auditioning new bassists. No official word has come down on the matter as yet. In the meantime, A Perfect Circle reconvened earlier this month to begin work on their new album and a release through Virgin later this year is expected."

  I'm still waiting for my reinvention as a writer.

As previously mentioned, I am typically an avid writer (especially of poetry). But, once in a while, I go through these transitional phases where I either don't write very often or cease to write altogether. Eventually, I start writing again in full force and notice a lot of changes in my style. It's a sort of evolution, I guess. The process seems to take longer every time.

Ultimately, I'm happier when I'm writing. So I guess that's why I tend to dwell on these things so much. I hate not expressing myself somehow. I suppose it's not as bad as it seems. I read over things sometimes and find that I've written more recently than I remembered. But I feel like I could do a lot more, and thus I feel unfulfilled in some strange way.

It will pass though. It always does. But I'm not a stickler for patience as of late.

I went sledding today. It's been a while since I've done something like that, so it was nice. Considering that I'm still fairly young, it seems strange to say so, but I felt like a kid again for a little while and that's absolutely priceless. My dad joined me for a while as well. Needless to say, seeing the two of us take turns sliding around on snow and ice is pretty amusing.. especially when we have to bail to avoid impending doom and such. Speaking of which, I scraped up my knees a little bit, but it was well worth it.

I received an e-mail today. They come to me randomly, perhaps once a month or so. They're numbered, filled with rambling words and poetry - strange, but interesting. The guy usually closes with his name - Matthew. The strange part is that I don't know who he is or why he writes to me. But I've been getting these things for, oh.. a year, maybe longer.

Bizarre..

Pamela Anderson has completed work on the first six episodes of Stan Lee's Stripperella, the TNN action cartoon debuting this summer, in which the former VIP and Baywatch star will play "an exotic dancer at night and a superhero later at night." One of four adult animated shows planned for Friday nights (others include the new Ren & Stimpy and Gary the Rat with Kelsey Grammer), Stripperella will also feature voice-overs from Anderson's fiance Kid Rock and, says the actress, the Farrelly brothers, "who come on as evil henchmen."
