Since I only joined SG in the cold winter months, I have always been nearby my computer. Now, however, the weather is warmer and I've got a bit of a social life now. That means I won't be updating my journal as much as I used to. I'll try and keep commenting in other people's, though.

Well, it was a big weekend. A bunch of...

To those of you who read this journal regularly: The band loved my video and want to put it on their upcoming album. They are also talking about me making a video for some of their new tracks! I am so psyched.

And I'm including this story that my friend wrote as a recap of his night out. This guy makes up the most insane...

there are a gazillion outdoor bars in NYC.

Wow..
you paid a lot of money for that video! (or was the amount listed what it wouldve cost if you'd charged fees?)
cheers for the link... interesting stuff. I doubt I'll make any money from this or the next vid, but I'm pretty much just starting out with it, and the band are very talented but struggling, so its worthwhile. Hope it all goes well for you.

rrrrrRRRRRRRAAAAAAAANNNNNNNNNRRRRrrr

And another lap completed by Hati, Ladies and Gentlemen. He's really had the pedal stuck to the floor recently. Top speed at all times.

That's true, Gary. It's been a long race so far and I think it's safe to say everyone's expecting big things out of this guy.

Well, Frank, excitement is building in the stands. And it's easy to understand why. It's...

Fuck man. Our internet was down for three days. I'm only now just recovering. I'll write something better tomorrow.
God Bless SG.

god bless sg indeed. i'm looking forward to your next entry.

You damn well have to write something better tomorrow. You know there is certain level of quality and professionalism we've come to expect from these journal entries. smile

Were you out at Slobberknocking last night? I was there late and missed seeing most people.

Same Planet, Different Worlds:


This entry is scatterbrained becuase I couldn't organize my thoughts.


So in case some of you didn't know, I work occasionally for a catering/event staff company in New York. Most of the guys don't have any skills (or IQ points), they are hired only to make the party look good.
Anyway, Friday night was one of the most bizarre events I've...

Monday:

This video is close to being done, which kind of freaks me out. I've been working on it finishing something for this band for over a year now, and it looks like I may finally do it.
The question is now, what do I do with it once it's done? Will the band like it? I think so. Can they afford to pay me...

WEDROCK last night.
Heard Le Tigre do some of my favorite songs, but couldn't watch becuase I was upstairs taking tickets. BUT. I got to see Slater-Kinney do a cover of "Fortunate Son." That rocked.

Keeping things lighthearted today, and so I am starting a poem based solely on the subject lines of junk emails I get. Please feel free to add.

(grin) I do concur with the fate statement. I also think it is often overused, and abused really. While I do believe things happen for a reason, fate should not be used as a scapegoat for irresponsible attitudes and behaviors of ourselves and others. This is one of those conversations at 3am over a bottle of wine, and lovely friends. wink Those moments when you can solve all the issues on the planet.

This one's gonna be somber folks, so if you don't need that kind of thing, you might want to skip this one.


It was my Dad's Birthday yesterday. He's all the way back in Oregon, but we spoke for awhile. He said that on his birthday he likes to think about what the world was like when he came into it. He told me that...

Interesting history - i know what you mean by putting a face on war. It changes things a lot when it starts becoming personal.

My great uncle fought in WWII (both grandfathers were too old, and had kids). He was a cargo plane pilot in the Italian theater until someone in the military got edgy about having Italian-American troops (that part of the family is 100% Italian) fighting Italians, so he got moved to the Philippines where he finished out the rest of the war. He gave me this unbelievably amazing chess set he bought in Japan after it was over - i'll have to show it to you some time, every piece is hand carved in samurai style, the white pieces are all ivory, the black are all teak. Pretty cool stuff.

My father fought in Vietnam too, until a wayward piece of shrapnel took out one of his eyes and he got a medical discharge. Crazy stuff - makes you appreciate how lucky we are that they decided to get rid of the draft, otherwise it would be you and me in Iraq right now.
siv:
That's an awesome story. I'm actually sort of (very) interested in WWII history (i watch a lot of History Channel, yeeeegh, i know. wink) and you really do have a face which i swear i've seen in those old black and white charges up to the gunners.

My dad's blind in one eye so he missed Vietnam, but my grandfather fought in the second World War (and that's hardcore, as he was Swedish and they signed up to go in on a strictly volunteer basis).

I just watched the John Waters movie, "Cry Baby," on TV.
I forgot how much I loved that movie.
These are the reasons why I love that movie:

1) I love the 50's. Sometimes, I feel it is a cosmic injustice that I was not teenager in that time, becuase I would have been an awesome greaser kid.

(laughter) Indeed, and some days it makes me feel freaking ancient! I decided a very long time ago, that when I did the biography of my life and it was hitting the book stores, that I did not want the Barnes and Noble's stock clerk to know what section to put it under. Romance? Comedy? Fantasy? True Crime? Travel? That was my goal in life. I think I'm doing pretty well with it. wink

It's a beautiful day.
Went out last night to see the SGNY fashion show, but couldn't get in becuase it was so packed. Apparently, it was a little more racy than the SGs had been told.
I guess just becuase these girls are on the intenet, people think they're some sort of sex fiends. I have found this is not the case. Consequently, I'll be...

Heh, thanks. I do have my uses around here, I suppose. smile

That stuff has always particularly interested me - just because it's so incredibly bizarre yet true. General Relativity is even weirder (and just as true) but I figured it would be too much to go into in that single posting. Maybe we can get someone who's really into physics and understands all of its ins and outs to write something up.

I am so psyched that these drawings came out so well.

The video is looking better and better. Plus, the lead singer wants to see it now, which makes me kind of nevous. This guy is the lead of my favorite band so it makes it pretty hard to be cool when discussing things with him. I have to make several calls to other people...

Yeah, if they come to a party at my apartment again I'll let you know, they're just a cool bunch of people actually.
er:
meeting people in bars is something i have not done, and do not intend to do. i don't like bars, for one thing. i also don't like people. ok, that one is (mostly) a lie.

it's not so hip to people who are NOT online, to be meeting people online. weirdly, my parents have been (or at least seemed to be) ok with it the 2 times i've told them about it.

hopefully they're not onto the fact that there were several, shall we say "insignificant" others in between..

I'm only editing my journal instead of writing a new one becuase I want people to read aboutt he Whitney Biennial at the bottom.

That's how this weather is making me feel.
