Good thing the place was completely empty, somebody could have gotten hurt. I wonder where the 200 students are hiding out.

Jane's Addiction must be the band with the longest gestation period for me. Discovered them almost 20 years ago and never really got into it. I liked Jane Says of course and Three Days from the second album, but that was it as far as specific songs went. I always gave both albums a spin now and then, say every couple of years, but it never settled for me.

Until a couple of days ago. I moved into my own house the year before last, and as a result of no close neighbours my listening habits have taken a major upswing. So I got to the point where I was getting tired of my playlist and it just popped into my head to give Ritual a spin, it had been a while. Now usually I don't sit down and listen to a whole album as I don't have time for that, so as I'm walking away I notice "Stop" has quite a punch to it. To me it had always been just an okay song, nothing special, but now I thought this actually sounded quite good.

But that was all I heard from that particular album that night. I went to do something else and by the time I got back it was played through, and I put on something else. The next day I had it in the back of my mind so I put it on again. This time it was Three Days and the end of the album and I thought this was quite good too. Certainly a little better than I remembered it. So I did "the test". I searched up Nothing's Shocking. I only ever really liked Jane Says on that album, but now I played it from the start. There was no immediate reaction but I liked what I heard. Enough to play it again tonight.

This is just an incredible song. Mind blowingly good. Both those albums are fantastic, and it escaped me for all these years. I'm not sure whether it is all other bands that are too similar or these guys being too unique, either way it is probably why it took so long to get used to them.

Can't think of a better Octavia than Kerry Condon in Rome. The years haven't been kind to her in that regard but she is of course still pretty.

I kinda of want to see that movie. Saw In Bruges and like both actors, but I'm feeling a little Tony Soprano about those kind of movies these days. Why do I care whatever happens in that film, however good it is? Unless it is some new revolutionary thing, what is it that I haven't seen before? Say if there's some new "Alien movie" out, do I bother watching that at this point? Can it be better?

When I watched Ford vs. Ferrari a while back; A really good movie, very well done. Like both actors, like cars. But at the end I said to myself "I've seen this movie before." Not that exact movie, but the type of movie I'm seeing. I felt I was wasting my time.

Guess I'm old.

Yes, reality tv. A couple of different shows. Of course the person eating doesn't have a job, and the family don't appear to employed in any high paying job either.
