STUDIO DIARY #9 (June 2 - June 8, 2000)
Friday 2nd of June
We have taken the day off today and I don't quite know what to do with myself. I practised my guitar for two hours this morning which was quite an achievement in itself I must confess. My playing has really improved so I am still super buzzed about taking the lessons.
I also sweated like a BEAST at my Pilates class earlier today but again.....I'm seeing the results of all my hard work so I guess it's worth it. I just wish that you could get fit by sipping on cocktails by the side of a swimming pool whilst yakking with chums. Wouldn't that be truly joyous?!?!?!?!?!? It's the anti-social nature of working-out that I hate so much. That and the unbearable physical pain.
Saturday 3rd of June
Oh my god.....I am SO excited. I might be doing a photo shoot with Hype Williams!!!! Oh please oh please oh please don't let this fall through.
Sunday 4th of June
Day off
Monday 5th of June
Oooh....I finally got around to seeing "Mission Impossible:2" last night! Whatever you do......AVOID it at all costs. The last movie I hated as much was the diabolically grotesque "Titanic".
Tuesday 6th of June
Oh god. My managment faxed over the US Magazine article I participated in on the subject of self-injury and I cringed with horror upon reading it. I should know better than to talk about such a personal subject in a magazine interview! It rarely translates well.
For some reason through the fault of no one involved the seriousness of the subject matter is diminished.
I hate myself for giving such a poor account of my experiences and thus trivializing the issue. I feel like I have done a disservice to fellow sufferers when my intention was quite the opposite.
Wednesday 7th of June
Ok....so I was discussing this book with my guitar teacher this afternoon.....I believe he said the title of it was "The Artists Way" and supposedly it deals with various methods or techniques that are designed to release the creative spirit from within.
(?! Yikes....have I gone mad or what?)
Anyway....one of the many exercises the book suggests is to write out 3 pages of your random thoughts as soon as you wake up first thing in the morning. (Or afternoon.....it depends on your sleeping habits obviously.) Giving you an opportunity to just freestyle and let rip on absolutely ANY topic of your choosing. I think I might give it a try. Maybe it would be good for me.
I'd do it here but I'm frightened I might reveal things that I would rather keep to myself. I know......I am a ghastly coward.
Thursday 8th of June
OHMIGOD...........I watched "Britney in Hawaii" on TV last night and it absolutely blew my mind. It was not so sweet. Not so sweet at all. Firstly.....the inanity of the entire event was mind bogglingly frightening. All these creepy wee five year olds singing along word for word whilst contorting their little baby cheeks into strange "adult" facial expressions. Oh that was so yucky.
Secondly.........Britney needs a better clothing stylist. The stage outfits were utterly hideous. What was going on with the camouflage T-shirt with cotton wings?!?!?!
NOT a good idea!
Thirdly.......every single song sounded like "Baby one more time" except not as good.
And finally........if Britney had squeezed out any more fake smiles during the show I swear her eyes would have popped out and she'd have pooped in her pants. She looked like she was in great physical pain!!! I was most concerned.
Anyhow.........as abysmal as her show may have been.....I still prefer Britney to all those other sinister pop muppets. Christina Aguilera, Mandy Moore, Jessica Simpson et al. Somehow Britney doesn't seem as full of herself as the others. Like she knows full well that she's caught a lucky streak. Whereas all the other aforementioned interchangeables seem to believe that even their shit doesn't stink.
Hmmmmnnnnn..........
