1. Ryan Murphy's Long-Awaited next installment to Feud is about to begin filming, to premiere next year. Having (wisely in my opinion) ditched the Prince Charles and Princess Di idea, he's moved on to Feud: Capot's Women - adapted from Laurence Leamer’s book, Capote’s Women: A True Story Of Love, Betrayal And A Swan Song For An Era.
"When the chapter, “La Côte Basque, 1965,” from Capote’s pending novel was published in Esquire in 1975, many of his inner circle learned the author had mined their lives for the source material. The Leamer book details the social fallout."
Cast members include Molly Ringwald, Tom Hollander, Naomi Watts, Calista Flockhart, Diane Lane, Demi Moore, and Chloë Sevigny. Hollander will lead the series as Capote himself, and the lineup of leading ladies will play Capote’s angered women. My Own Private Idaho’s Gus Van Sant is on to direct all the episodes based on the script written by showrunner Jon Robin Baitz. Also, Chris Chalk was just cast as James Baldwin.
Now that - could be interesting, even though Gus Van Sant makes me as twitchy as Wes Anderson in regards to directorial style. Van Sant, Anderson and sigh, Robert Altman are directors that require a bit of patience to watch because they like to meander, chew scenery, wander off and stare out of windows, let actors improve whatever, wander back and stare a bug on the ceiling for fifteen minutes. Exciting they aren't.
But it is an interesting pairing with Ryan Murphy, who is kind of the opposite.
2. Books
Currently working my way through...Julie Cameron's The Artist's Way, Brene Brown's "I Thought it Was Just Me", and River Enchanted (Cadence #1) by Rebecca Ross.
Enjoying all three at the moment. One's an audiobook. One's a paperback - self-help book via my church. And one's on the Kindle.
Flirting with bookcases. I've decided I need some new ones. Current ones are filled to capacity, and there are books inside my ratty old coffee table - and I have to get rid of the ratty old coffee table against my wall.
The difficulty is in choosing them and determining if I want to hire a handyman to install - because I am NOT handy.
3. The Artist's Way is into lists..but I kind of like the latest...
* What would I try if it weren't too crazy?
* What would I do if it weren't too selfish? (Odd one. I'm thinking irresponsible might work better for me here? I'm single, no one cares what I do with my time except nutty workplace and maybe my mother.)
* List ten things you love and would love to do but are not allowed to do. (Weirdly many of the items on her list, I've done already, and repeatedly such as take live drawing, gone dancing, go on vacation, moved to bigger place, directed a play, streaked my hair blond, carried a sketch book, roller skated, bought new cowboy boots - done all of that. I'm hardly bereft. But it does make me wonder how bereft a lot of folks truly are?)
Post the list somewhere visible.
* 19 wishes. (Why just 19?)
Interesting side bar quote..."The specific meaning of God depends on what is the most desirable good for a person." - Erich Fromm.
* List five grievances (why you can't believe in a supportive god)
* List five desires - "If I had either faith or money I would try..." And find images of each.
* List five imaginary lives. (May want to add images of them.)
* List five adventures that you'd do if you were twenty and had money...(I'm wondering how someone who is twenty would react to that?)
Add images of them to your visual image file. I may do this electronically, since I've a limited amount of space and do not need to add clutter. Then again, got plenty of notebooks - so...
* List five post-poned pleasures - if you were sixty-five and had money. Collect these images.
* 10 ways I am mean to myself (making the negative explicit helps to exercise it.)
* 10 items I'd like to own that I don't own..again you might want to collect these images.
See? It's into lists.
I may do them as photo memes on my journal. I don't know yet. Getting the images, may require printing stuff off at work - which I can do, but would prefer not to.
4. Apple Music has come up with a new Classical Music App, which I'm thrilled with. This will make life easier at work. I work better to instrumental and classical music.

Great cast--although it'll be tough to top Philip Seymour Hoffman as Capote. (Let's see what Tom Hollander can do with it.)
Very interesting pairing of writer and director. Baitz is an intellectual, highly verbal screenwriter (and playwright), while Van Sant specializes in emotional truth/mood pieces. Could be fantastic; could be a train wreck!

Didn't know that about the screenwriter...okay, that is interesting. Because we basically got Mr. Talky and Dialogue vs...oh that fly is really cool, I think I'll follow it out my window and watch it for a bit.
Add in Ryan Murphy...and LOL!

That cast is certainly intriguing!

Yeah, Charles and Diana would have been a mistake. No one cares any more. And if anything, I think people are tired of the whiny Royals.
