brand new day
Despite the dreary weather, I feel absolutely terrific today. Not 100%, but a helluva lot better than I did yesterday.
The clip above is one of my favorites ever: "Brand New Day" from the wonderful/awful movie version of "The Wiz." I love a lot of things about the clip:
* Michael Jackson was wonderful before he really freaked out
* Diana Ross can't dance for shit (check out her pit stains when she flails her arms about)
* LOVE LOVE LOVE the scene when the Winkies transform by shedding their skin and turning into beautiful, Nubian, Alvin Ailey dancers in loincloths
It's a long clip, but it best sums up my state of mind today. Bear with me...
