a story of an unfortunate personality

i hate television. i hate it as much as peanuts.

but i can't stop eating peanuts.

In the mid-1950s, Welles began work on Don Quixote, initially a commission from CBS television. Welles expanded the film to feature length, developing the screenplay to take Quixote and Sancho Panza into the modern age. Filming stopped with the death of Francisco Reiguera, the actor playing Quixote, in 1969. Orson Welles continued editing the film into the early 1970s. At the time of his death, the film remained largely a collection of footage in various states of editing. The project and more importantly Welles's conception of the project changed radically over time. A version of the film was created from available fragments in 1992 and released to a very negative reception.

i feel i have to protect myself against things...

so i'm pretty careful to lose most of them.

[ 3 quotes- orson wells ]

play continually on loop

i would drive over to middle earth records about once a week 

and take all my allowance from chores and washing cars...

 spend hours looking for those hard to find albums.

one band that was tops on my list:

Wire.

sometimes i would buy both the album and 

cassette tape

so i could play it in my 1966 blue

karmann gia immediately upon leaving.

these sort of obscure

sounds would sometimes be played continually

over and over 

for days on end...

some of my friends would just look at me

and say under their breath-

'your weird.'

but then say-

'you make life fun.'

'i do my best..'
