between_time_and_42Now that The Great Gatsby is in the public domain AND there's apparently going to be a miniseries made (wtf??), can I just say, I won't stand for any slagging off of the 2013 movie version. I LOVE that movie with my whole heart. In fact, when it came out, it was a whole Event for me and my family. My sister E went with a bunch of friends on opening night, and if I recall correctly they even dressed in 1920's style for it. I wanted to see it so badly that the first thing I did after I got home from Memorial Day vacation was call my current best friend (at the time she was just... a friend) and ask if she wanted to see The Great Gatsby with me later that day. That was also the year we read The Great Gatsby in school, and I think it was the same year that prom was The Great Gatsby-themed, so I got to wear a flapper dress to prom (and I was the only person who stuck with the theme). AND that was the year that I wrote a song based on The Great Gatsby, which I have now recorded to be released on my album this year, so... it's all full circle.
(That just made me realize, I did loosely quote the book in the lyrics, but now that Gatsby is in the public domain... I don't have to worry about possibly getting sued! YOOOO)
Really I'm just thinking about this and typing it out so I can stop fucking panicking about my album not being out yet... basically I have to work at the studio if I want to keep working on my album for free, but all of my mental energy/all the fucks I have left to give are absorbed in the album-finishing process and I can't muster any enthusiasm for anyone else's projects and also I haven't been added to the schedule even though I've asked three times to be added so I have no idea what the studio's schedule is and if it coordinates with mine and I just want the music video out by next week and the album out by April at the EARLIEST but we haven't done any work on it this year so far and on top of that my friend wants to record an album at the studio but doesn't play any instruments so I have to do all the instrumental aspect/producing for her and on top of THAT I have a job completely unrelated to all this that I love very much and don't want to give up no matter how much my producer wants me to quit it and join the studio full time even though he HAS to know that's not a realistic offer because damn! There is no guarantee we'll always have a steady stream of clients! Anyway I'm right back to panicking about it again and I should go to sleep because I have to work tomorrow but all I can think about is MY ALBUM!!!!!! and how much I really, REALLY want to finish it but I can't!!!!!!!
