a beautiful movie about jan crouch



I used to live alone and while I currently don't miss it, one aspect of it that I enjoyed is that I could do whatever strange things I felt like at any hour of day or night without anyone noticing or being bothered by it or, you know, worrying about me. When I had insomnia I would get up and watch Trinity Broadcast Network for hours while cutting little squares out of magazines, to lull myself into a soft cloud of tedium and spin my racing thoughts into happy nonsense until they exhausted themselves. When I was a teenager I would watch the static on the tv, but anyone who's tried that knows it doesn't lead you anywhere good. Trinity Broadcast Network is amazing because you can watch it for a really long time and experience good feelings without absorbing any actual information to trouble yourself with. Then something will happen like Kirk Cameron and the banana thing (you know what I'm talking about), and I have to dance around the room with excitement because I can barely believe what I just saw.

The last time I watched it was quite a while ago, and Smokey Robinson was there!
I wonder if Jan Crouch is still on it. I remember the first time I saw her I must have been in my early teens and I had a lot of trouble trying to understand how a person ends up so unreal.

Also one time I called that Orange County area code number at five in the morning, and you can leave a prayer request for yourself on the voicemail.
