02/20/2004 Entry: "2-20-04 Queer eye for Poet guy"

So I did a lot yesterday. I went to open up a bank account, I broke my cell phone, ate sushi with Omar, and I went to a reading in Jamaica Queens with the Acentos crew. One strange thing that deserves mention is that I got a call from a casting agent for an interview today. About a week ago Jeannie got really excited about putting me up for the Queer eye for the straight guy show. All of her coworkers were excited too and it kind of took on a life of its own. She didn't think I would be happy though. I mean who wants to be told they need to be made over, but I was OK with it. Even though I am a Taurus and supposed to want stability and fixedness, I have always been OK with change. Maybe its because I shift around what is stable so there is always something steady in my life. When it is not my romantic life, its my professional life, when its not that its my home life etc... I have to go in for a short interview today with the producers. Regardless of whether I get to do this or not, just the possibility of it has made me think what I am willing to let go of in my appearance and of my possessions. So if I make it on the show and they start cutting my hair and pointing out my faults, of which there are many, I think I'll still be OK. Unless they start throwing out my DVD's, then someone is gettin stuck.

The song of the day is "It's my life" by Talk Talk. This is the song that NoDoubt just remade. Click above to hear it.

Serenade
(from Hal Sirowtiz's Mother Said)

We sat so close together on the subway
a policeman walked up to us,
took out his nightstick,
put it under his chin like a violin,
& pretended he was serenading us.
That was the year we loved each other
so much he could have arrested us for it.
