is this demented or what?
i am having an ethical fashion dilemma. i bought an olive green bomber-length neoprene jacket last year. i was all excited about wearing it today. then i reflected on my utter contempt for the fact that military fashion is back again, despite the world-wide anti-war sentiment. if i wear this short green coat am i a sucker? stupid thing to...

Body double? yeah... i'm thinking the guy who was on that TV show as 'Saddam' was basically Santa Claus gone bad... Hmm- I haven't been following any news today though and maybe that's a good thing... regardless there was a 'protest' of sorts in the city today which basically involved about two dozen people sitting in the road chanting anti-war slogans in accents a little too broad to understand- I don't know whether to be for or against this whole 'war' thing, I DO know that protesting after a war has started seems somewhat futile to me- just an opinion... Anyways, how's that military fashion shaping up?

That dancing Bush is so funny too, you gave me just the laugh I needed this afternoon...

Take it easy.

Interesting, I have a surplus trenchcoat that I really love, though it's from the Stalinist-era Czech border patrol (when it was their job to keep people IN).

If you want to go with fashions that reflect the political times, go for a black hoodie and a matching bandanna or a keffiyah around yr face.

WELL!!
in an effort to experience all that paris has to offer, last night the man and i went to a swinger's club. what a surreal surreal adventure. before you get any penthouse pretensions, i will spoil it by saying i did NOT partake, but the tale should reveal the reasons.

the man is research master, so i let him suss it out. it is in...

yeah, it at first seems a bit, er, creepy, especially when total strangers are rubbing up against you. but no one tried to persist once i told then "non, merci." and really, the motives are much more clear than in a meat-market bar, where god-awful types pretend to not be looking at your tits, but take major offense when buying you a drink doesn't result in their getting laid.
i heard from a gentleman during the cocktail hour that in some german clubs, at a certain hour EVERYONE is expected to get nekkid, or they'll stop serving you at the bar. that would be a bit much.

Sounds like one of those experiences where you start to feel like you're not actually experiencing what you are and start to wonder if you have in fact strayed into some enlarged disturbing cliche of what clubs like that are thought to be like by people who're basically... scared of anything mildly sexual.

Maybe it's the French, who knows- it's hard to believe that a race so beautiful with sucha beautiful language could make sucha faux pas as considering Billy Joel and 'Uptown Girl' to be music to make-out to...

Maybe in 1983- but Jeez, tell me we've evolved SOMEHOW in the last 20 years.

Take it easy

our international word of the week comes to us from germany:
kuhlesheisse!
meaning "cool shit" as in "das DJ ist der kuhlesheisse"
"that DJ is cool shit"

our english word of the week features prominently in crime fighting:
Perp
short for Perpetrator, as in "the perp was seen running from the crime scene." adopted for everyday conversation in the spirit of modern-postism
i've been watching...

I can't believe you've been to Fife... what - seriously - are the odds. It's not like Edinburgh which is constantly full of Tourists... but yeah, I know Elise too- The 'East Neuk' as they call that whole coastal belt...

And Buckhaven... my god- I've been THROUGH that place- it was like Sarajevo or something with all the weird housing estates with the windows boarded up- not that tehre areent nice parts of Buckhaven, but I think the bad outweighs the good in soem of these moderately sized Scottish towns... Kind of an abundance of teenage girls with babies, y'know?

My boyfriend got me into Coupland- he pretty much got me with my tail between my legs cause he, a scot, knew all about him, and I, a fellow-canadian had not so much as heard of the guy- but i kinda inherit a lot of my tatses these days to him- like i said before, I grew up in rural Ontario... theres nota hell of a lot of culture in that part of the world so you get places like Guelph called 'city'... Miss it? Not a bit... Okay so there are certain foodstuffs misisng over here- but taht will only do my diet more good than anything else...

They really do go out for that karaoke though....

"Goodbye, 25, you were a good year
for the girls..." --"Awesome"

Hope you don't mind being related to a Veruca Salt lyric. I think that song kicks azz. I'm a lucky boy; my favorite Pulp song applies to me today-- Jarvis for emperor of earth!

i have to check my mail earlier in the day. is it cool to just introduce yourself to someone at random? i don't even know why i ask this--that's what happened to me, and i didn't find it weird. my brain is just not together these days. i wonder what's up.

...the mayans conceived time as being like a huge network of gear wheels, from very small ones turning fast (hours, days) to huge ones turning very slowly (centuries, millenia). anyway, december 23 2012 is the day that all those gear sprockets meet back up and their original starting position...there are a couple books about this, jose argulles is the biggest proponet of this theory and what it means...it's interesting b/c the maya were such a peculiar culture, basically came out of nowhere, with this amazingly advanced calender system, astronomy, math, arcitecture, and disappeared as fast as they came...now a lot of this also has to do with the idea that there is a cosmic intelligence that helps other intelligent lifeforms attain the level of galactic awareness...so the mayans were seeded with this kind of galactic dna...hence their coming out of nowhere and disappearing...they were building monuements and leaving clues behind so that others may decode it and figure what had to happen...it's interesting that it's a positive view of the end of the world, which is rare...that instead of fiery apocolypse and godly judegement, we all achieve a new level of being and join the intergalactic intelligence community....whoo, that's the abridged version...i just think end of the world theories are interesting in many ways, and this one in particular...so it's a day i await but i'm not getting my hopes up...

because it has helped me realize that we are all super-hot babes inside, and when you know that then you ARE a super-hot babe! and i don't care about any moralizing, "super-hot babe" is exactly what i want to be. isn't passion for the important things what is most needed?...

i see so many people get stuck in life, because their other half doesn't want to go here or there, or one believes there goals are more important.
my career is all fucked up. one month i am working here then there. i am working all night or getting up at four to film
