| it's garbage beanie weather! *woot* |
[05 Jan 2004|11:06pm] |
:: city-crippling snow, heading straight for us! ::
that's my personal favorite news quote of the evening, courtesy of one of our local news stations, who've been hyping the holy fuck out of the apparent *coming snowstorm*
for the past day or so. geez. drama queens, i swear. for those of you living in places where *actual* snowstorms exist, seattle is the land of the weinies. i mean, if we made an epic movie about a seattle "storm" we could call it the clan of the snow-weinies
*haha* actually that would be kind of a fun thing to do. i should learn amateur filmmaking this year and launch a public-access show! and in the summertime do some sort of outdoor cinema thing, with clan of the snow-weinies shown at glorious midnight!
but i'll only do it if the vixen in the garbage beanie is my film star! there's this absolutely breathtakingly gorgeous woman who rides the bus i do in the mornings and this morning she came on board wearing the exact same garbage beanie that i was wearing! so we talked a little bit, but i always hate talking on crowded buses in morning rush hour, it's so weird. so i talked a little bit more outside at the bus stop but then ran away. i reached a critical mass .. i mean, how often are you smitten with someone and they just go and *appear in a garbage beanie*? that's just act-of-god-like. or venus?
i think 2004 is off to a really wonderful start. *waving to lou-lou* lou-eeeeeezeeeeeeee (rhymes with "squeegie") !

Britney Spears weds
January 5, 2004
Pop princess Britney Spears has tied the knot with a childhood friend, but an annulment may be just around the corner, US media reports.
The 22-year-old diva walked down the aisle at a Las Vegas wedding chapel early on Saturday, the reports said. She married Jason Alexander, also 22, a friend from her hometown of Kentwood, Louisiana, whom she had recently begun dating.
Spears wore jeans and a baseball cap, and was escorted down the aisle by a hotel bellman, People.com reported.
But she is already making plans to annul the marriage, describing it as "a joke that went too far", a source told People.
"I don't even know if she loves him," the source said.
The two apparently decided to marry while partying at the Palms Casino Hotel on Friday night and did so at the Little White Wedding Chapel, a famous get-hitched-quick spot on the Las Vegas Strip.
A copy of the marriage licence, which they obtained at a Las Vegas courthouse, has been posted on the internet.
The honeymoon was spent back at the Palms, but the next night Spears was seen dining at a hotel steakhouse with a group that did not include the groom.

i can never remember how to make those kitty smilies unless i copy and paste them from something written by º°Bhªne §îdhe°º
*haha*
=^__^=
those always crack me up. awwwwwwwwwww. kitty.
i'm totally tired but clinging to a tiny thread of sanity, and i am sitting ten feet away from a bed that looks very inviting. i just got myself the ghost world DVD and i'm gonna watch it with the headphones and fall asleep. this is so awesome. i've not been able to ever see the movie in letterboxed format. my life is now complete.

| the absolute dreamiest, i'm totally serious |
[21 Dec 2003|01:08am] |
went and saw in america tonight for a quick easy way of getting out of my head. it worked. what a great film. it might not be the movie for everyone, but it worked for me.
and in the lobby of the theatre there was a massively huge standup poster thingie of the girl with the pearl earring movie. it was a huge image of scarlett johansson's face (and part of collin firth's) ...... which of course left me plotting ways to steal it. i loved the texturizing of the photo to make it appear artsy, though it looked more photoshoppy than eighteenth-century. or whenever that period piece belongs, whichever century.
scarlett remains the dreamiest, i continue swooning, and the predictability factor in my livejournal scribblings are, as always, easily notable. but i'm rambling and the words feel boggy and redundant, for there are actually no thoughts i feel like sharing except for
scarlett remains the dreamiest.
and i felt as though my heart was plucked from my body and trampled upon today. oh yes, the joys of life. but it's okay, it really is. i've been on a five-or-so year bender of heartache and there's distrust of anyone and everyone hidden not-too-far beneath my fragile surface, and it all comes bounding forth when i discover my guard let down and my heart once again let down too. la la la.

i'm feeling OK
but in a funk, in that
i don't want to talk to anyone
it might last five minutes
or for the rest of my life
who knows, who cares, surely not i
who am i fooling? i'll probably be amped
on caffeine in a day or so, typing spastically
to nobody in particular, as usual
but definitely not anytime in the foreseeable time being
*poof*

| scarlett j ......................... *sigh* |
[13 Dec 2003|01:17am] |
what can i say. i am off the deep end with delight tonight. i've wanted to see an interview with scarlett johansson for EVER now and finally -- by complete chance, i was surfing and caught her interview on charlie rose in near-entirety .. then zipped over to the local PBS station right afterwards cuz they usually run the same episode an hour later
but for some brilliant reason they were running that fucking roy orbison special for airing number 2034934092384023984023 2049304923840923840298 02934803984023942309482 this year. just in case someone who watches PBS might've missed that. oh man - i wonder if they'll show that old grateful dead live thing, too. or maybe a monty python marathon.
so yeah. i'm so fulfilled. it was the best interview with scarlett j. she's so articulate and animated and up-to-the-moment-in-the-here-and-now with her presence, and so what i suspected all along - that she's really cool - was confirmed. charlie rose is the best.
*******************************
i'm completely behind on my email, my internet travel norms, my bathing habits, my writing, my art, and i have no clue when or how i will do xmas this year. all the pre-xmas hoopla of bullshit. yes, i'm in the total spirit of the celebration of the baby jesus, as you can tell.
but i DID get some amazing props done for the charlie brown xmas youth production that i'm helping out with. i made five cartoon-like trees for the tree lot scene and a pretty awesome lucy psychiatrist stand ..... and a bunch of other stuff.
sleep deprivation
IOP
meetings
caffeine
psychiatrist visit
latenight tv and candy
i'm burnt

| since last posting i have ..... |
[07 Dec 2003|07:05pm] |
created cardboard trees for a play
gone and seen bad santa
and then texas chainsaw massacre
ran around in the rain a lot
and a bunch of other stuff i can't remember right now
because i'm tired.
i'm behind on email
and on everything else
and tomorrow or the next day, i paint my trees!
i must take photos of them, and the other props,
and continue making props for things, it's fun.
bad santa is a great movie. it's done by the same director who did ghost world so i'm biased, though. he's a genius.

maybe that's IT - maybe the psychedelics never wore off. well that would explain a lot, haha.
ooooooh, that's too much to think about. perhaps delusional merryment is the MO, i mean, especially if i'm totally nuts.
well, but, i mean .. i'm not nuts! am i? noooooooooo. damaged and taped together, yes, nuts, no. psychedelicized, permanently! weeeeee.
and caffeinated. the science project continues long after the final cocktail has worn off.

went to a show tonight @ a club i've never been to - and it started at six and ended at around 12:30. this one band did an amazing rock opera-like performance that was accompanied by a film that was shown onscreen onstage .. it was really amazing. there was another band and they did two songs that were rather punk-esque for lack of a better description and anyway, the songs were somehow embedded in my memory but from where or when or how, i have no clue. all i know is, i've heard these songs and they were quite rockin good surprises in the groove pattern of my evening.
but going to these things alone can be a kooky experience in that it can have many disjointed periods of non-talking, non-intermingling with others, and then when you finally DO happen into a casual conversation with someone, it's like ..... i don't know, zombification has set in and it's hard to make those brain cells thaw out fast enough to make words come out right.
but life is a strangely fascination journey and i'm just glad to be a part of it in some way shape or form. i'll probably write more about the show later, with details that are useful, like bandnames and venue name. right now my legs are kinda achey from sitting indian-style on the floor (oooh, is that a taboo expression now? i've not used that phrase since grade school) for the entire last act - the rock opera thing.
i have a special tingly shower of love brimming over inside, from the splendor of knowing so many lovely lovely people in cyberspace who are each truly special and significant and .... god why am i feeling so touchy feely? hehe .. i like feeling that way, though.
actually, one of the two conversations i had with strangers tonight was about emailing and stuff - the guy said he was down from vancouver for the show because he emails with a person he's never met (until tonight) who was involved in putting the show on, and we talked about how cool it is to meet up with people you've previously only known through email. i told him that i've had a blast going to garbage concerts and meeting the online comrades. and that there was particularly a pretty extraordinary west coast group i'd gotten to know over the recent years.
ok i'm off to bed with my achey legs.

" ... It's funny.......looking back on it now,I totally hijacked myself during the "Beautiful Garbage" album cycle.Shaved off all of my long red hair,then dyed it a completely alien colour, just like every other traumatized girl seems to do with herself when up against it. Hijack herself I mean.Oh boy............ are girls weird "
--Shirley Manson, 15 Nov 2003
hehe. i love shirley manson.
<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3<3
the whole shirley's hair business can get pretty tiresome .. i mean, it's HER hair and she can do with it what she wants. she is always beautious and amazing. so when she went platinum blonde it was a bit of a shock, but she'd already cut it short, so things were going through some pretty wild changes all the way around, during the whole beautifulgarbage phaze of g history. but my favorite quote of shirley was early on during that period, in the press, when she said that the record execs were freaking out over what to do "about her hair" ..... like it was something that they had to fix for the band's image.
i guess they can all breathe a sigh of relief now. the redhead is back in full force. weeeeee.
i personally like the long red tresses so i'm all happy too.

shirley manson and butch vig share their thoughts on the beatles albums that they each think are the best album ever, in the latest rolling stone issue. yep, the magazine has yet another best of list.
i typed up the text from the garbagey parts and placed them here for those who might be interested. and i made yet another site logo too.
and that's about all the free time i had today for the fun stuff.

just caught up on trash-talk at the downtown public library .. well actually that's where i'm typing *this* too. weeeeeeeee. haven't read TT in about a week or so .. or any of my personal e-mail for that matter. a mini-hiatus. 'weeee' again. oh well. hopefully the world can revolve and evolve without my reading text messages from people, or staying caught up. i mostly don't wanna fall behind on my ramble-O-thons with @nette! <3
let's see ........ i just saw kill bill vol. 1 and thoroughly thoroughly enjoyed it. i really have a thing for music in movies and was really into *that* aspect of it. oh! and decapitations. i've always loved decapitations in movies, for some reason. this had about the highest head-count in *that* department, haha.
it was a stylistic wonder, that movie. omg. and to see it a couple of days after the third matrix videogame/movie. glad i picked the order of film sequence that way.
i totally remember the *exact* feature presentation film thingie that quentin t used @ the very start of bill. i was really cracking up! it's weird to see something that's such a major blast from the past. that's gotta be like, twenty-five or so years in the dustbins of movie theatre usage at this point. so awesome.
*********************************
creative tinglies galore. i am going to embark on a major drawing frenzy and do a whole bunch of scribbly garbage drawings. i promise. and i'll post them all in the usual place for now .. til i get that bg.com thing sorted out.

| on a mission to find the holiest of adjectives |
[23 Nov 2003|01:51am] |
my entire body - but especially my arms - is (and are) totally majorly sore today, after yesterday's hauling of massive amounts of dirt and clay. oh no!
saw the matrix revolutions dealie tonight. brought in a monster pack of sugar to make it through the whirlwind adventure with a seemless endless buzz - and succeeded! (though i noted many *quiet moments* in the film's first half, which made opening packages of sour gummi and trolli britecrawler packages challenging and secret-agent-like, in a delusional sort of way)
nonsensical .. the word of the day-turned-to-night during this, the latest installment of the overabundantly adjectivey *midnight thoughts of the popstar thongboy*
let's see, what's new. am continuing my fascination with a new local (new? i think?) weekly called tablet. or the tablet. anyway, it has a great weekly mini-column thing by someone named unicorn girl and i have a newfound joy, worthy of weekly reading frenzies, sending me brimming over the edge with anticipational tingliehood as i ponder what could possibly be bounding through the mindset of the divine and brilliant unicorn girl .. weeeeeeeeeeeeeeee.
what else? oh yes. am going to contact the makers of this weekly toddler publication and ask them if i can provide any sort of pro bono services in exchange for access to some sort of digital printers they might have tucked away .. for a certain wee french jesus-like female who creates a certain elfin wonder of a fanzine that i really really wanna print the USA editions of at a fraction of the cost kinko's offered forth.
i mean .. geez. i'm not even gonna quote it here in cyberspace, but forget it. i'd rather fanagle some sort of wheelie-dealie and do the hustle with someone other than a high-end printhouse anyway. i figure .. well, the cost of paper, some toner cartridges or whatnot, and the bartering of my bodily services might work .. along with some outsourced color copy for the fanzine covers .. and then *woosh* it's just postage and padded envelopes and mailing labels.
i haven't contacted the elfin wonder to tell her any of this .. maybe she'll read my livejournal and see. i haven't been online much lately and really wanna just find an actual solution before springing it on her. so anyway.
and that is all for now.
oh ! i saw the bangles cd that came out awhile back (and like, even longer ago outside of the behind-the-times USA) .. while at tower records today searching for the magazine buzzine which has an awesome interview (and pictures!) with thora birch. but they didn't have the magazine. i'll have to pop in brentano's in westlake center because i think that's where i saw it. but while in tower i also saw some cool hendrix stuff i don't have. the second berkeley show in its entirety! omg! i have a bootleg of that .. i scored it in greenwich village in nyc when i was there in '97 (or so) and it said it was the original soundboard recording but sounded like it was spliced together between soundboard and the album material so it was kind of botched. but cool! now i can here a totally well-produced recording of possibly the most *on* performance in jimi's touring career. oh neat.
jimi's haze was so purple - it caused his axis to be bold as love!
(stolen from frank zappa)
man, it's late, and there's one more busy day in the weekend whirlwind (did i use that word already?) so i must now go fall asleep to ghost world because i've not used that movie for sleep medication in a long long time. g'night, beloved diary.

[22 Nov 2003|12:10am] |
i got an awesome letter and assortment of exciting goodies from my homie! (i actually got it some days ago, but haven't been online to write about it, oh no) i was cracking up at the name they called me on the envelope, and look forward to touching base online @ some point to discuss the overwhelming joy which i have experienced - all because of this package <3
in other news, let's see .. i helped my auntie with something today and ended up shoveling/wheelbarrowing thousands of pounds of dirt and clay. every muscle in my body aches, and i feel kinda sick to my stomach because i didn't eat enough nutrients and things before embarking on my popeye-like adventure.
it was nice to be down by the water .. i felt an overwhelming and intense artistic awakening down there. i always do, i think. i must honor this or it *poof* disappears until next time. but i'm pretty much running endlessly all weekend and so i don't think i'll be getting anything created anytime soon.
i caught a little bit of joan of arcadia tonight but had to leave before it was over. i hope the show doesn't get cancelled because this one was really good - the show is getting better, i think, as the writers get a sort of groove factor happening with joan and god and the storylines and stuff. they seem to be having an especially good time with the banter between j and g. and for reasons i am uncertain of, i am having a good time with it tooo. so there.
in other tv news, or actually as-of-yet-unconfirmed word of mouth from some dude i really don't know but was making idle conversation with in my busy busy travels, .. what was i saying? oh yes - in other tv news (rumor department) karen sisco might've been cancelled. geeeeez. that's a really really good show. karen s is a major badass packing an alluring fandango of woopass and the show is stylishly clever and fun. i will miss it so, if it disappears. and i will have a new yet familiar reason to be mad at abc. they're dorks. they probably DID cancel the show. fools.
i looked like a total freak tonight. i hadn't combed my hair in a day, or shaved in two, and i was wearing my ancient cargo lucky pants of '98 garbage concert road trip excitement and tingly sensations. but the pants are now tattered, stained, and i didn't know i was walking around with my zipper down. and with these pants, an unzipped zipper does this major *flair* thing and i was wearing pajama bottoms for long underwear today, and you could see them peering through. to top off this new look, i carried around my fifties-looking retro thermos with my garbage stocking cap over it. a star is born. a popstar. with magic pajamas. hooray.
well this random thought pattern is coming to an end now. i am too tired to type, and i don't feel good. i wanna zone out to tv with microwave popcorn and ice cream, so off i go.
i know it might be wrong, but
i'm in love with stacy's mom

took a break from some writing i was doing and needed to do something fun -- and i created this from a photograph that my friend bill took.
i kind of like the way it came out, but i'm not totally sure. i'd just used the photo for a site logo image thing, but hadn't done anything more with the image.
i rarely make the time to do anything in photoshop these days, so this was fun.
