wow - eyes sound really super amazing. although, i must admit a certain love of billy idol - in a limited context, of course, but still - it IS a nice day for a white whedang (i figure that was how he spelled it at the time). it does sound totally revolutionary and ahead of its time - always a cool thing. i do love a villianess in pvc - or really any babe in pvc will do.

how great that you had a groovy spin session. it reminds me how much i miss the scene in boston. sooo many places to hang out and dance, do all sortsa cool queer activities, really be involved et all. there is stuff here, and i don't do enough of it, but its a very different vibe. ah, well, too much reminiscing is dangerous.

as for my wee pupsters - you know, i wish that they discounted earlier counter cultures in some sort of grasp for their own sense of rebellious authenticity, but i fear its something far more sinister. seriously, these kids are among the most homogenized folks i have ever seen. their attitude towards school seems to be much more the consumer model - i pay money, you tell me stuff, i regurge in paper, you give me A. intellectual curiousity seems to be at an all time low - its shocking to me! i remember in high school we used to debate philosophy, watch underground/cult movies, and everyone knew about at least the big counterculture figures of yore. now even the punk or goth kids (and those are few) tend not to know about the history of their own style. of course, there are exceptions from my few beloved freak geniuses to the mainstreamers with curious, clever minds, but on the whole there is little intellectual energy. to me, these discussions are relevant to life, to thinking, to growing. to many of them, its the hour and fifteen minutes to survive before lunch, a nap, and binge drinking. woo.

not to be apocalyptic, because there is always hope. i firmly believe that even if you don't see kids grow before yr eyes, if you challenge them it will spark growth - or at least questioning. and yet ... i don't know ... maybe its the current entertainment industry or the megacorping of so many things ... maybe because these are 80s babies. but, when no one in the class gets even the tiniest aha moment out of a disucssion of Marxism and ideology - not even to oppose it - then i am concerned. however, the discussion did liven up once we got going, so perhaps by the end of this semester we can get a good game of name that ideology going.

wow - what a ramble!!

and dude - the spongemonkeys? - classic! love that sight.

Rather Good rocks! I've been a fan since I was pointed in their direction by the fine folks at B3ta. And, pagan pubs! Excellent...I'm tried to imagine to draw crowd to a bar like that! Hearin' stories of your spinning gigs makes me itch to pick up the SGCT locals and speed up for drunken Boston fun!

Oooohh...Eyes Without A Face! Jealous! Now I'll have that pesky song stuck in my head... *insert Idol lip snarl here*

Good seeing you last night. Hopefully I can watch Haxan this weekend...

I just received your package!!! I haven't the proper words to thank you enough! The album is wonderful and will undoubtedly cause me to go back & fill in some missing holes in my Eno collection. I so owe you...if at least for postage.

Thanks very much for the links. I think that is the most beneficial bit of sarcasm I've ever uttered. I'll see you on Wednesday.

I really love you


I'm probably going to take tomorrow off and run some errands.


have a good night honey.

Wow! Now that's a marathon! That's crazy cool! And since Arachnequarius brought it up 3-D photography is SO cool! There was a Lomo model available on-line for a while that I'd drooled over...figured it'd make a worthy start. Thought about it too long & it disappeared...not that I did an in-depth investigation. I got a new 4 megapixel so, can't complain. Thanks, as always, for the knod comments!

happyhappysuperhappy. hpe you had a wonderful day.

Welcome to the BCB group
Love the profile pic

Almost forgot, what was the b&w film that was playing on Wednesday? Was that 'Witchcraft through the ages'?

oops, i did something wrong with a journal post...now to correct it...

It sounded fun, awkward & frustrating all in one fell swoop! I'm happy that you were able to meet and greet some new faces in the SG Boston crowd...sounds as if in the long-run, that was the best thing to come from the evening. I originally was interested in attending the Providence show at the last minute but by your description, my decision to hang out w/ local SG peeps was the right one.

I agree with you on the venue comments...even a bit of a stage riser would have helped immesurably.
See you at MR tomorrow.

SO absolutely jealous! I hope you have an amazing time! Looking forward to hearing about it, as well...

Alas, no burlesque in Boston (or Providence) for me... One of my friends in SGCT tells me that since their tour is being so well received, they are already planning another. I'll undoubtedly have the foresight to take some speckled days for driving to Boston, making new friends, looking up a couple from school & seeing glorious tattooed ladies.

Thank you immeasurably for the Eno offer! I'm only online briefly now but, I'll pass along my info before the weekend's out.

Lending out good books is always a pleasure.
Bad Wisdom seems to have a lot of intrest in it from people I know.
It makes me wonder how two, mostly, washed up British rock stars would feel that there are actually people that remember their past musical works and are intrested in persuing their, somewhat, more recent literary works.

Actually, in the post above, I left a link to a flash-animated site... That link again is right here. Any My Squelchy Life bone to throw me would be great! It may be a week or two before I have the bandwidth in order to receive it...thank you very much for the offer!

Sounds like a wonderful time.
I *may* be able to get to Manray tomorrow (metric fucktons of homework). Are you spinning?
