koncupiscence...two years later.
but until LJ gets its shit together, i guess i'll be over here?
i stayed up way too late watching 'talking with gods' - the grant morrison documentary - last night. it was fascinating. that man has LIVED. i'm so impressed with how he can take perceived kooky ideas (mostly involving magic) and talk about them in very real ways and people just go with it. one, because he is grant fucking morrison, and two, because you can't really argue with someone's personal experience. i guess i'm a little in awe at how open he is about it all. and how it reinforces the notion that if you don't make something a big deal, nobody else will either.
additionally, there is so much going on in that man's brain; it sounds horribly, terrifyingly exhausting. i could see how gerard's might be a slightly watered down version of his, and can easily imagine the common ground they must connect on.
last night i also chuckled at myself when i spotted my twitter bio. i've had it for so long, that i had kind of forgotten it was a line from grant morrison's doom patrol: "sorry about the writing. robot fingers, you know?" i'm inclined to say that only grant morrison could make me fall for a character who is just a brain housed inside a giant, orange, metal body. but then i think about what i've said so often about gerard these last few years - HIS BRAIN, YO. ♥_♥ - and no, it makes perfect sense.
and now is the time on sprockets when we get more coffee. x_o

Date: 2011-07-28 04:47 pm (UTC)that doc kind of blew my mind. i mean, i knew he was a fascinating creature from hearing him talk at sdcc over the years, but I HAD NO IDEA THE LEVELS, THE DEPTHS, THE MAGNITUDE OF IT ALL. i am also just very thankful that he is able to manage that kind of creative madness? that it doesn't destroy or harm the person within, but instead he seems to only grow and evolve and embrace it. he seems genuinely happy in his journey and exploration of the world. ...he could word that SO MUCH BETTER than i.

Wow, that was some fangirling, huh ;)

Date: 2011-07-28 05:26 pm (UTC)YES YES EXACTLY. it would be easy to write him off as a whackadoo if he didn't make so much SENSE. he radiates knowledge and brilliance in a way i can't even fathom.

Date: 2011-07-28 05:35 pm (UTC)I get annoyed with the constant 'well, Grant obviously fried his brain with all those drugs, har de har'. Ozzy Osbourne...there is a man who fried his brain. Grant...sits around and reads about particle physics in his spare time.

Date: 2011-07-28 06:41 pm (UTC)and on a different tangent, during a buffy panel the question of angel and/or spike having had sex with other men in their past came up (LIKE IT DOES) and joss's answer (via writer jane espenson) is basically that they've lived 200+ years and are (somewhat) immortal, so WHAT DO YOU THINK! of course they're going to try everything! which seemed... well, reasonable.
and i couldn't help but think of this perspective when thinking about grant. while he may not be 200+ years old (that we know of o_O), he has lived A LOT for his years and seems like a person who wants to experience as much as he can while still on this earth. it just makes sense.

Date: 2011-07-28 07:56 pm (UTC)(Seriously, though, Julie and I have had this same conversation.)
(Also, in relation to your tangent, I don't know why all vampire media doesn't have them more explicitly...ah...exploratory, because duh. It just makes sense.)

Date: 2011-07-28 04:52 pm (UTC)also, on an incredibly superficial level i could listen to him talk for hours upon hours upon hours, bc akdjfa;lksjfdlkj that accent. *_*

Date: 2011-07-28 05:35 pm (UTC)she finally agreed and upon his first words she turned to me with her mouth hanging open and could only mutter 'oh my god... oh my god.' THIS IS WHAT I'M SAYING. *___*
