I'm so glad that on SG, in order to leave a comment, I don't have to do a CAPTCHA.
I hate that shit about myspace so goddamn much. it makes me crazy.

A little while ago when I pulled off my work shirt a bunch of dead skin from my sunburned back went flying everywhere.

When you're as big as me, you can't reach your entire back when putting on sunblock.

APPLEBOTTOM JEANS AND THE BOOTS WITH THE FUR (WITH THE FUR!)

I tried to watch a movie tonight called The Man who fell to Earth, starring a yeah-I-would-fuck-him aged David Bowie as, I think, a man who fell to earth. Mostly, he's a man who acts weird.
I got an hour in before I passed out.
I'll have to finish it tomorrow. but look at this pretty cover until then.

The Man who fell to Earth is the last movie in the filmspotting.net 70's Sci Fi marathon and I can say its (to use Beth's words) more fi than sci, for sure. At least so far. Its nothing, nothing like the other ones.

I finished a book today called Somebody Owes me Money. I totally loved it, too. Here's the original,fantastic, fucking awesome cover. The current cover (the one I read) is in my picture folders somewhere. I just uploaded it.



I like the old one better. What do you think?

Anyway, yeah. it was full of innocent humor and fun and guns and mobsters and a total dream-girl by the name of Abbie. I'm so, so happy that Hard Case Crime exists.

Somebody Owes me Money is an old book, and I love the little reminders throughout. Like when our hero Chet Conway wins a bet, he thinks "Nine hundred and thirty dollars. Almost a thousand dollars! I was rich!"
Also, there are a lot of funny little sentences, like "I sat up, and the room was full of a man with a gun."

Yes. Donald Westlake, AKA Richard Stark. I will be reading more of your work.

I got nothing else.
Thank you, all of you, who have been supportive and nice. This most recent (and current) bout of depression has been something awful, and signing on here every once in a while and getting comments and messages just.. really helps.

I like the way when something scares Aesop Rock to death he says "Shook to Casper."
I just wish I could quote him and mean it when he says "I float. While everyone around me's busy drowning I float. I float. While everyone around me's busy drowning I float. I float. While everyone around me's busy drowning I float." Because I'm struggling so hard to keep afloat.
