I think beautiful strangers have super powers. Besides extraordinary charisma(don't stare directly into their eyes, that's how they enchant you) and complete indifference to me(which translates to cool nonchalance), they can disappear, leaving only a vivid, dream-like memory. On a recent trip to a convenience store, I noticed one such girl reading a magazine when I walked in. I picked up a pint of peanut... Read More
well she might just be reading the missed connections cause they're funny. it's like reading the erotic personals from the phoenix out loud.
and as far as the set thing goes, despite the fact that i am sick about once a month (more or less) there's never, ever been any bed sets at all on this site. totally original idea there.
and thanks for the well wishes, i'm already feeling better.
yeah. well, he actually wrote an introduction to the book and he's definitely way cool with critical stuff, because he realizes once something is written it no longer belongs to the author alone, and if anything it belongs to the author less.
i love mieville but especially his short stories didn't quite work for me. sometimes you just want a happy ending and he seems firmly against a happy ending. oh well.
Listening to World Inferno/Friendship Society, and I've come to the conclusion (after a bottle of wine, of course) that more than anything, I'd like a girl to waltz with. sigh.
Also, I bought Little Nemo 1905-1915 today, AMAZING! I wish I could live in slumberland.

King Rat is definitely my all time favorite, there's definitely a familiarity and love that went into that book that isn't present with the New Crobuzon books. Like, the love is there, but there's a certain amount of "benevolent creator" distance as well.
He has a new book coming out? Oh shit! I didn't know that!!!
You definitely just made my night. ^_^
I'm trying to feel better soon. I'm on some good (if annoying) antibiotics, andI'm trying to take it easy, so we'll see if it works.
Something about Elliott Smith always makes me feel a little depressed. The way he sings, his lyrics, the chords he plays, or even just the undercurrent of his death in all his songs affects me when I listen to him. I think that's the mark of a great musician, that he can make you feel a certain way when you listen to his songs, no... Read More
This commercial makes me laugh everytime I watch it. Why is the cop a monkey? And how does the cookie wiggle its protruding chocolate like they're actual appendages?
I had this gargantuan craving for an ice cream sandwhich and a beer. So I made a special trip to my local convenience store and bought an ice cream sandwhich. When I walked outside, there was a homeless guy asking for change, and I felt really bad because I didn't have any to give him. I came to the conclusion that banks are all conspiring... Read More
"Well a sailor he longs for a better life
It's so lonesome by night and by day
And he longs for the shore and a charming young whore
Who'll make all his troubles away
All the noise and the rout
All the whiskey and stout
The fighting it's never over
Of the love of a maid he is never afraid
It's all for the Irish... Read More
New journal entry!!! I need more Guinness. If you have some to offer, please contact me. I will suffer Guinness starvation otherwise, which will result in a breakout of hives, jitters, and jumpiness. This is a serious condition, and I can't afford the Six Pack treatment anymore. There have been fatal cases, hopefully, I won't be one such statistic, but that is up to you.... Read More
Allright thank you, my dear.
I cant translate it for you, because my english sucks...
