Been living on the Group forums recently, so been ignoring the journal side of things, ill try and change that.

In the past 7 days been, working loads, listened to 'Junky' audio book, read by the late Mr Burroughs himself. what a voice, great account.
Last night i went to see 'Last Days' kinda against my will, thought it was a bad idea for a film. but i loved it my friend didn't but it was her idea to go, think she expected something different.
The film felt awkward in some places especially where clichs were obviously being avoided. felt a little too technically in your face- from a film making point of view in some places too, plus i thought there was too much dialogue(that might sound weird as there isn't much there to begin with)
but as a whole i felt very attached to the film, it reminded me of mixed state Bipolar which i get every now and then, this i feel is the most dangerous state a bipolar suffer can get into, plus usually involves drink or drugs of some sort.
I was lucky enough to see Nirvana twice in the uk once before and once after the nevermind album, both times at the Reading festival, thought they were really great both times . but Kurt was never a hero if mine, (the pixies and sonic youth said it all to me)
Find Nevermind a dangerous album for me to listen to, brings out very depressed animal in me, plus a type of self mutilating anger.
Listening to 'Junky' before seeing the film added a slight edge to the experience i think
Overall i thought Gus Van Saint has put together something rather wonderful here. It felt like a very real familiar experience to me, and hit me right in the stomach, though some of my own bad memories. to capture those seemingly indescribable feelings is an amazing feat of film making.
I hope all or some of that made some sense
