I was gonna go shopping for the new Holly Golightly cd yesterday, but on account of being sick, I couldn't leave the house.
But it's all good because today I got one of her old cds in the mail (the last one that I was never able to find before.) I also got some related stuff: Ludella Black, and the Delmonas!

Yesterday I:
worked for 6 hours
drank for 8 hours
slept for 10 hours
Today: I think it's going to take 12 hours to recover.
When will I learn my lesson?

As I mentioned yesterday, I found out that Holly Golightly is coming to Chicago yet again. 
I decided to treat myself tonight. I picked up some manchego cheese and some fresh catfish at the grocery store on my way home from work.
One lemon, some spices, some Rolling Stones, and half a bottle of Sptlese later, and life is good.
Life is very good.

See, my teacher wants us to concentrate on things like camera angles, lighting, shot-setup....the more technical side of the film, not just story and dialogue. There is a ton to talk about with Citizen Kane as far as that stuff goes.

It's sad how little I know of The Sebadoh. I had "Gimme Indie Rock" as a single when it came out and thought it was just silly. "Willing to Wait" got on the radio but I was like "Oh this is so wussy." But I'm perfectly willing to hear any of it now; I could have been wrong about those two songs too. It takes time to buy every indie band's albums, of course. I'm getting there...
edit - I want to try to refer to them as The Sebadoh from now on. THE Sebadoh.

Grr. I got another flat tire today. Had to walk home in the rain, rather than biking nice and speedy-like. I never got around to fixing the tire on my other bike, from a couple of months ago... 
...so I fixed 'em both up real good. Put a new chain on one, too. Now I'm all set to go!

Good luck.

Eek! I've worked 19 hours in the last two days! Not that this is anything new, of course. At least this time I'm getting paid overtime, not like my previous job. Grrr.
One of my coworkers, Jesus, went back to Mexico on his vacation, and brought me back a present. (I asked him for a bottle of tequila, but I didn't get that!) He brought...

The new job went very well today. If it could be this good everyday, I'd be a happy guy!
Oak and I managed to get in a bit of bowling tonight. Not that we bowled well, by any means. But bowling is bowling nonetheless.

Merely by virtue of bowling at all, does one become a "winner."
Just got back from a little get together for the guy whose job I just took over. Sort of a going away party. He's a great guy and we were at a nice little bar, but most of his friends are yuppies, and I just couldn't take it.

DAH DAH DAH DAAAHHH! ! !
I love that song; "Shutterbug" by Veruca Salt. The single tanked and had a dummbb video, but great song.
Anyway, they're making a Green Eggs & Ham in Latin. It's called Virent ova! Viret perna!

First day at the new job today. Seems like it should be pars crustulae.
I did a Critical Mass! I've always wanted to, but stuff seems to get in the way. Well, I was dragged along this time. I met up with deadfish which was nice since he never comes to bowling!
I'll definitely attend more CMs in the future.

I'm spending the summer riding this goofy little bike my housemate lent me. However, goofy bikes are der rigeur here in Portland. Plus tooling around on my bike is making me feel about a decade younger. The one problem is that's it's got some weird made-for-women seat called "the liberator" which I am finding to be not at all liberating.
As requested, I've started putting up some pics. More to come when I get some film developed. Hope you're doing well that the bowling gods are treating you right.

I throw a skull and arm/hand bones into the water to dispose of them or hide them. Later, I think better of it and try to...

wait a sec, i'm a bit confused- are you standing outside and above your room when you are trying to fish out the bones?
and do you mean to tell me that 'ooo aaa' is not the sound that the little metal wheel makes when the hamster runs in it?

I have absolutely no direction today. Which is fine.
I had grandiose plans to explore the far reaches of the city, but for some reason my own neighborhood seems just fine for today.
I am going to get some coffee, however!

A good retort to the crazy old lady would've been "Yo, blow me!" Not enough use of yo-blow-me anymore. Or "Take off, you hoser." I'm gonna try to spread the "hoser" love in the 2003.
I need to see these Fassbinder films. I haven't seen one in a long time, sorta passed out on one in college, but hey, that was probably just a slow one...that Bitter Tears of what's-her-name....
I'm going to bed with no glue.

fear and loathing are my reactions to a great many things currently, the general populace not by any means the least among those things.
you were apparently asleep when i called around midnight about meeting at the bar.
an $18 drunk ensued. i gave her $40.

No work, Mr. Beef, wandering around with oak, coffee, writing a letter to an old friend, mimosas (thanks chiquita for planting the seed), a bit of Dick Dale, and a Fassbinder film.
Now that's what I call a good day!
"vamanos a luchar!"
Oh, the film was "Fox and His Friends," and it reaffirmed the fact that Fassbinder kicks ass.

It's official, I have a new job. Same employer, but new position. More money, more responsibility.....more fun?
We shall see.
I spoiled myself tonight by actually cooking a decent dinner for the first time in how long? Opened a couple of nice bottles of wine, a merlot and a Sauternes. Mmmmm.
The roomate and I are watching 24 hour party people. Fun fun stuff.

Battle Royale is a great movie....very well directed and acted indeed.
for now i am enjoying my first month all half off membership at family video. i am totally stocking up on 80s b-movie sci-fi nerd flicks for the time being.
dr. alien was the best of the lot so far.
