2003-12-12 - 1:56 p.m. Homesick! It's been a while. So, I've offically diagnosed myself as 'homesick'. I have all the symptoms: wish for home cooked meals, even if they're not stuff I would eat anyway (the boiled plantains come to mind); wish to speak with family members and friends, and enemies if I can, anyone really, anyone at all; wish for more variation in the English I can consume, as in books and tv and movies, even if it's the sludge I wouldn' even touch back home; wish for everything familiar, even very, very cold weather despite the fact that I, like most people, don't like cold weather, and snow always irks me. But, there's nothing I can do about that. What a short entry... I wonder... So, the other night, I heard, for the bazillionth time this year, Mariah's 'All I Want for Christmas'. It's been playing on a loop at the supermarket I go to since Before Halloween, so yeah... But the thing is, the version I heard the other night was a J-punk rock version. And let me tell you, punk-ish versions of my favorite songs always gets me going. Alien Ant Farm's 'Smooth Criminal'? It's a crime how fantastic that was. Heck, I heard a rock version of the Carpenters' 'Close to You', and loved it, despite the fact that, well, it's the Carpenters... and they're sappy. So, J-punk version of 'All I Want'? You must understand that I completely and utterly loved it. despite the fact that I hear the damn song every time I go buy groceries. If I knew who made that version, I would so buy their album/single this weekend. Screw the fact that I shouldn't be spending money on myself in this season of buying gifts for people you like. Those bastards sounded hot. The Past - Guestbook - The Future, Too |
