hi, love burgers

how are you, tonight?

a little over a week ago i went to brooklyn, new york, for the smelliest and perhaps greatest show i have ever been to:



EYEHATEGOD WAS FUCKING SICK.
the opening bands all kicked ass as well (the communion, clean teeth, magrudergrind)

an all inclusive little vacation because i got to hang out with my best pal, zepp101
always the best of times.
there is no one i can crush beers and conversate with like the zepp.

in fact, i rarely conversate with anyone.
i might even go so far as to say that i am a terrible conversationist most of the time.

if words exchanged do not come freely and naturally
i prefer silence.
i despise those who feel the need to constantly be verbalizing.
shut the fuck up. meaningless conversation is also pointless.
put a sock in it. stop talking. stop breathing. do whatever it takes.


occasionally i'll exchange a mere glance with a stranger and it means more to me than hours of babbling with long-time acquaintances late nights in a bar.

soul-lingerers.

i believe in tiny, fleeting loves.
that mean nothing at all, or perhaps they mean everything.

not in a romantic sense, really. just a sort of understanding between humans that is rare to find. at least for me. i can recall several people over the course of my life who i have looked in the eye in passing and experienced a closeness that i cannot explain. spectral meetings upon an unlikely strand in the web. brief talks with strangers about entropy and multifaceted moon reflections...

what am i talking about again?

oh yes.

there is an old proverb that states:
a true friend will enlighten you as to the greatness of adidas pants.


don't question me.


before that i was home in virginia for thanksgiving.
i have been so overwhelmed with work and school for the past few months,
enjoying hardly any of either.
its been hard to get a grip on much of anything.
blech
either way,

i enjoyed a morning's coffee for the first true time since the summer

the most simple moment can become everything you needed
no matter how much time has passed.











when i was home i was lucky enough that exhumed, municipal waste, and fucking napalm death were playing in richmond while i was there!!! a rexxy could not have asked for a nicer surprise!! \m/

i have been re-reading the poetics of space, by gaston bachelard.
it is so lovely.
i have so many books to be read soon. and more on the way.
one must be properly suited up for the ultimate hibernation, after all.



shotgun shot a new set of me.
along with sea hag, by LizardAM
i think it could be my favorite ever,
a true capturing of my mind and form.
i couldn't be happier with either.
since my first set in 2008, none of my submissions have been picked up.
i'm not discouraged, as i love each and every one dearly and had the best of times shooting them and meeting wonderful people..
so yet again, i really hope this one suits all of your fancies. and perhaps makes it all the way.


the queue is backed up all the way into march for member review,
so it will be quite some time until you can see it,
but it looks a little something like this





i don't have much else to say at all, forgive me



goodnight, world.





talk to you soon, baby

<3 Rexx

halloween 2012 was a spook-tacular success
i made some fabulous clearance purchases as all of the creepy delights were being promptly shoved aside for that thing known as christmas


the final phase of decor:
(open if you daaare, bwahahahaha!)

i was a nice witch for the trick or treaters




and then...



marilyn fucking manson for my homies.




in other news i was featured on nefarious realm this week for their hotter side of metal segment!

check it out here



i failed to update my ever-changing occupation in the interview, which is now popcorn factory extraordinaaaaire dahling, but no matter.
stoked that it featured LizardAM 's photos from my sea hag set! representing burning witch in true metalhead fashion.

thanks for all the love on sea hag. it has not fared so terribly well in member review but i absolutely love it and i'm glad that you guys enjoyed it!!!! <3



in other music news,
this upcoming tuesday i will be seeing one of my favorite bands for the first time: EARTH!
fuck yeah!
and the following tuesday i'm traveling to brooklyn on a whim to see EYEHATEGOD!!!!!
FUCK YEAH AGAIN!!!! \m/ \m/




and just 'cause:

(these motherfuckin' kids represent pittsburgh so hard <3 )




and speaking of pittsburgh, i fled it late last night to git down southward to ole virginny and visit my family for a few days
everyone is gone at the moment so i'm reveling in the glory of solitude amongst trees and leaves, cats and bugs, peace and quiet, floods of warm sunlight.. <3
in addition to the three cats in the house, there has been a ferrel cat colony thriving in my parents woods for years now. i adore it in every way.
i love city living but i also i miss living in the sticks
sometime in the next couple of years i would like to move somewhere more quiet, lonely, naturesque, quaint. i do love these things.


(that is josie, my soul-cat since age 12)



(that is moo, a recent addition who thinks i'm an evil intruder and likes to spy on me and eat my boots)






well, i'm off to finish my pot of black ass coffee and enjoy the day.



cheers, baby.




<3 Rexx





P.S. something in the works for you by the oh so vivacious shotgun

good evening, kittens.



my ears are currently exploding with joy
is anyone as stoked about the massive influx of great albums being released this fall as i am???
i'm currently listening to pig destroyer's new album, book burner.
fuck. YES!
if you are too broke to buy it like me, it is streaming here.

Eyehategod - New Orleans Is the New Vietnam
Nails - Obscene Humanity
Converge - All We Love We Leave Behind

and, NEW FUCKING NEUROSIS ON TUESDAY FUCKING FUCK YES!!!!!!!!!!!
http://www.brooklynvegan.com/archives/2012/10/neurosis_stream.html !!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!

\m/ \m/ \m/ \m/

in other new news, my set by LizardAM is out!




Sea Hag !

the inspiration for this set:




crank up the above doom and check it out.

speaking of sets, yesterday i shot two more!! actually, shotgun shot me and she shot my fellow pittsburgher, delora . and we had a beautiful tall blonde to help with lights and piggy back rides



a rainy saturday spent scampering around naked with babes,
one can't complain.
you'll see those sets in the future!



its been a pleasant sunday,
sex, metal, and barbecue.

what more could a woman ask for?

its time to hunker down to my studies now,
I CANNOT WAIT FOR THE SEMESTER TO END.
i have a mountain of books i'm dying for the time to read. A FUCKING MOUNTAIN.
working 50 hours a week and taking three classes doesn't leave much time for pleasure reading.
but, i wanted to say hello

and HAPPY HALLOWEEEEEEEEN!!!!!



scour my last two posts to see my ghoulishly decorated home
and stay tuned for photos of marilyn manson ala rexx to come!
what did you/are you dressing up as?

speaking of halloween,
thigh, session one:






bwahahaha.


ok, homework for real.
until we meet again

<3 Rexx

phase two of halloween decorating, engage.









i will be dressing up as marilyn manson circa 1997 this year,
yeah!
how about you?



nothing too much to update,
studying consumes me!



i do manage to have my kicks of course.

i saw weedeater with saint vitus a few weeks ago
it was my first time seeing saint vitus, fucking awesome!
last weekend i saw converge (never cease to amaze) AND
in a few weeks
i'll be seeing earth,
can.
not.
fucking.
WAIT.


quit my shit-ass job.
goodbye, rainy bus-stop.



i now work with one of my oldest and best buds in a popcorn factory/warehouse
yup. pittsburgh popcorn company. soon coming to a non-pittsburgh store near you, lucky bastards.
after ten years i finally said goodbye to customer service
and i must say,
my happiness has reached epic heights!
its amazing how much waiting on unappreciative strangers all day drains you without you knowing it
i feel like i have so much more positive energy to devote to myself and my dude and my pals
plus, i can listen to all the metal i want, all day long \m/ \m/


some big news.
i have a NEW SET! YEAH!
it is titled sea hag (after the burning witch song, doom babies <3 )
and going into member review next sunday, october 28th!
i haven't had a set in years so keep your eyes peeled!
LizardAM shot this back in june
i really hope you love it <3





well, my love slices,
i have some homework to finish.

a pot of coffee to drink.

then i shall scamper off to kyklops to get tattooed by emil, my one and only tattoo dude
i rambled off all the little elements of this idea i've been tossing around for quite some time
and he drew up something 843001 times more awesome than i envisioned
continuing to make all of my creepy whimsical tattoo ideas come truuuuuuuuue.
i've never been so stoked for a piece!!
a sexy, witchy, halloweeny delight.

>>>>>>>UPDATE!!!!!!!!<<<<<<<<<<
session one!
my vision, perfected. color to to come.
hello, new thigh.

tis' the season.

bewaaaaaaaaaaaare!!!
baaahahhahahhahaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaaa.



<3 Rexx




by the way,
this shit rules:

it is early, but feels late.

the lingering gray of a rainy morning,
loquacious bugs.


i wonder where the cricket from the closet has gone?

wherever all the time has,
i suppose.
and all of the missing socks.

halloween is my absolute favorite and tis the season, baby .

my neighbor sat outside all afternoon and stared at me like i was a lunatic
as i cranked up the sabbath and merrily spun my webs,

but i find pleasure in knowing that someone on my street wants to burn me at the stake. \m/














fuck the bullshit,
all i want to do is drink whiskey and make old-fashioned ghosts out of tissues!



anyhow,











the autumnal equinox is on the horizon <3



until we meet again,


<3 Rexx





be free.

for the love of bones.

.



particles of you and i
drift
in the light of morning

sparkle
in the sun

tiny stars of flesh

as we slowly
turn to dust




.

good morning, afternoon, and evening.



school is back in session.
reading copious amounts of material constantly.
i am taking some interesting courses
i wish i could devote all of my time to them
but
there are others, too, so dull and seemingly irrelevant



new york is starting to feel like my second home,
i seem to wander there so often for various things.

last weekend i arrived very early. 5 a.m.. just how i like it.



decided to explore brooklyn

i got to the brooklyn bridge at sunrise




(interesting timing on that last one)

then wandered all over the brooklyn bridge park



rode water taxis around for hours to random locations.
enjoying being lost and the wind in my hair.





hit up the brooklyn museum!

i'll take one huge black mirror and one koma ba mask, please.





at this point my phone died, so the photos shall cease.

but i did explore the brooklyn botanical gardens which were absolutely splendid
i only had about an hour and a half to peruse
i'll have to go back for more, next time.

speaking of new york
this picture of me popped up in the september issue of inked from the metal party back in july

good times, that was.
i guess that technically makes three little magazine appearances for the summer.
not too shabby

power of the riff was pretty rad.
saw coffinworm, repulsion, winter, and sunn.

good shows coming up in pittsburgh, too:
caspian, converge, earth, weedeater,
and albums!
converge. ufomammut. NEUROSIS. (!!!!!!!)
more, but
brain drawing blank.

i may go to this:



\m/



hints of fall.
boot season.

pumpkin flavored everything season.
halloween season!

my all time favorite pumpkin beer, screaming pumpkin, is no more.
RIP, michigan brewery.




i am in dire need of lightbulbs.



can't even afford them shits.


oh, ass and titties!
more previews from my new set!
it will be in member review november 8th.
it has been years, i can't wait.
shot by lizardAM <3

the fingers cannot translate any more thoughts right now.
my head is swimming with dull historical facts and glorious anatomical structures.


until we meet again, my love biscuits...




<3 Rexx

hello.

i am about to scamper out of town for a few days
but i wanted to give a quick update before i depart.

life has been amazing.
i'm enjoying the early onset of fall-like mornings and evenings.

been baking some treats.
simple sugar cookies to dip in coffee
my favorite breakfast on a quiet morning.





i baked a chocolate/bacon cake for my beloved boyfriend for his birthday.



(not only is there bacon on top, but an entire layer in the middle amidst a sea of buttercream icing!)




had some lovely time recently beneath my favorite tree at point park.
reading, napping, collecting acorns still on their twigs,
and enjoying the company of impossibly tiny spiders.








the set that i shot with LizardAM is finished and submitted!
you will be seeing it sometime in the coming months.
here is a preview to wet your whistle



i really hope you guys like this one. <3




while my full-time job still blows one-thousand cocks,
i went for and snagged a part-time job as a magician's assistant to Aedryan Methyus!
i will only be doing shows every once in awhile, but i couldn't be more excited.
so, if you are ever interested in booking us for an evening of laughs or dark, magical wonders
or if you just want to see me be sliced in half while wearing sexy leather boots
you have the link at your disposal.



well, love biscuits
i wish i could stay but i have a bus to catch.

i'll arrive in new york city around 5 a.m. and am hoping to make it to brooklyn bridge park in time to watch the sunrise with a hot cup of joe. a day of exploration lies ahead. solitary meandering. and then my best friend zepp101 will be snagging me for a road trip to eastern pennsylvania to meet some awesome people for beers! grilling! epic hang-outs! and then...it is back to brooklyn for A NIGHT FULL OF DOOM on sunday.



fucking winter. fucking coffinworm. fucking sunn!!!!

speaking of music, todays listenings:









and now i'm off.
to infinity and beyond, mother fucker.


i love you all.
<3 Rexx

psst..

right sleeve: finis.




at last.


i'll be attending this in a few weeks:




the weather is lovely.
cooler, the past couple of days.
i've missed strolling the city with my sweater flowing behind me in the wind
like a cape.


i have finished all of the sewing projects i had in mind for the summer.
a haphazard pile of fabrics and over-sized t-shirts
conquered.




late nights.
early mornings.
sex. beer. weed.
doom. sludge.
bacon. cookies. enchiladas.
astrological musings.
mango juice. berries.
pool swims. porch reads.
six hundred and sixty six pots
of coffee
black as the devil's dick.
(a scintillating young lady with glittery eyelids that once hung around my home used that term one morning and it stuck with me ever since. i was brewing coffee. she was sitting on the floor petting the dog. my roommate was slicing a cantaloupe. it was all very magical.)

and on and on..



etching creatures of the sea into flesh
for that is where i like to be
in nothing
but flesh
and the sea




work blows endless cocks to smithereens.
(besides two perks: free bread and kicking it with biggiepgh. )

i amuse myself there by illustrating the sandwich board whenever we sell pulled pork
and then i watch as hundreds of people glare at a spartan pig with google eyes brandishing a bacon shield as if it doesn't even exist. they are clearly all in denial of greatness.








tra-la-la

happiness consumes me.

i must be leaving now.

the world is yours baby and don't you forget it.


bkak!
till we meet again...
<3 Rexx

it is not quite evening,
though the storm's rage
lays darkness over my bedroom.
i do not mind.
flickering candlelight,
a dismal film of grey
filtering through curtains
(diaphanous and black),
all that remains.
suddenly the rain maddens,
inflaming the wind.
the globe warms, her heart bleeds.
a bird trembles in it's nest.
i am delicately adjusting a skeleton's fingertips
when thunder strikes
as though every lion on earth
had roared
all at once.


-----------


a welcome storm on a pleasant day.
i am enjoying their frequency, as of late.
are you?



from the city we crept into suburbia today
to fulfill a gluttonous desire for biscuits, apple-butter,
bacon, grits, gravy, fried apples, and the like.




you can take the girl outta the south,
but you can't take the love for southern cooking out of the girl.


otherwise, been rolling around naked in bed.
indulging in the soothing task of hand-sewing by candle-light




just letting my thoughts fill the room.




anyhow,

<3 Rexx

journal tidbits..

four a.m.
watching one of the ants
who dwells in the left-hand column on my front porch,
(i imagine the most frail yet elegant staircase spiraling within)
scurrying with frantic instinct,
it's tiniest of shadows
the object of the chase.
i am endeared by the little fellow's moxie.
it seems this is precisely what so many are doing,
chasing something
that is impossible to catch.
though, it appears so close, as if we could touch it,
as though we are attached to it.
barely, but attached.
and yet,
it cannot be ours.
it will not.

we chase it as if we do not already know
what it is
or as though we have forgotten.
so that we always have a game to play.
something more to seek,
something more to be,
someone to catch up or make up with.
how often do we hear people proclaim
that they wish to do something more, be something more

humanity. raised to believe nothing is ever enough,
to perform a continual search for satisfaction.
we would all be satisfied if only we would allow ourselves.
there is always something different,
but there is not always something more.
only happy, if you are not

there is death, to be sure.
the end, finis.
a glorious rot to return us to our primal mother,
the earth.
bacteria, insects we have swatted, crushed all our lives,
will consume us,
the asylums will crumble and the doctors flesh will be gnawed no sooner or later than the patient's.

life will go on.

..

the next day now,
afternoon.
the ants, they never stop.

i adore them,
in a way.
their continual presence
(never invasive)
over the years,
having helped refine
my sense of place amongst creatures, one and all.

it is overcast and there are goosebumps on my legs
in july.
the quiet of sunday is welcome,
though on this day i am not quite sure what to do with it.

the air is cool,
coffee, hot
wallet empty.
bookshelf full.

and that is perfect,
just plenty
for now.






life is life my babies.
feelin' real fine.

mornings.






afternoons.


(yes. that is a sandwich purely consisting of crispy bacon betwixt two slices of exorbitantly buttered cinnamon swirl bread.)

(yes. that is me breaking from my hermit habit and kicking it with other specks of mankind. a rarity!)


evenings.







love.

music. \m/



Sunn O))) and Boris - Altar
Dissection - Storm of the Light's Bane
Acid Witch - Stoned
Pestilence - Malleus Maleficarum
Tricky - Nearly God
Lamb - Self-Titled
Slayer - Seasons in the Abyss
Old Man Gloom - Meditations in B
Melvins - Bullhead



speaking of music, will anyone else be attending the power of the riff festival in brooklyn? i think i'm traveling solo to this one, but i would love to rock out and have some brews with other humans who might be going!


i am loving the summer.
trying to make the best of the inevitable work between bouts of freedom.

working on the various aspects of my application to the pittsburgh institute of mortuary science.
reading reading reading..
just finished three amazing henry miller novels
and began the ginger man by j.p. donleavy (all recommended by the trusty hunter s! )




k buds.
thats all for now.
enjoy yourselves. feel sexy. never take life too seriously.

ciao/meow.
<3 Rexxy
