12:11 PM - nostalgia

[ ]

isn't journaling all about nostalgia? or is that just me. --even if i'm writing about current events, it's with an eye to future nostalgia.

today i'm up to my ears in work, listening to an online alternative eighties radio station. And an old Smashing Pumpkins song comes on. And I remember being 16 and lying on my friend Millay's floor trying to soak up all the romantic darkness and misery of the world. It was a time when everything still held a touch of magic and some connection to that mythical world buried deep inside my head. I miss my magical teenage brain immensely. I cannot do it justice here.

But hopefully if I keep typing I will somehow manage to recreate that voice in time for the writing of my memoirs.

You and I Left Off With Nostalgia... (Score:1)

Welcome back, WorkingGirl. LOL, the last time you were here I'd replied to your comment by doing a bit of my own reminiscing...It was a few weeks back, so I don't know if you saw my reply - but here's the link:

We left off here... [morrissey-solo.com]

In a couple of weeks I'll be seeing one of my old friends from those old Punk days whom I've not seen in maybe 4-5 years - Alejandro Escovedo. You may remember him from the Punk band, The Nuns? (They, along with The DiLs and The Avengers were amongst *the* most happening local bands here in SF. Nostalgia, indeed.) He's had a fairly successful solo career for the past 15 yrs. or so; but he's been quite ill over the past few years, yet he's now well enough to do a tour. It will be nice to see him again, as not only is he an interesting songwriter, but he's also a genuinely nice person too.

Hope you've been well! :)

Bad joke alert! (Score:1)

Yeh, I agree, nostalgia is great, but it ain't what it used to be.

Oh dear!
