>Just got back from a bit o dancin. I was hoping for a night of release, some physical exercise, and maybe a little bit of flirting fun. Not so — I tried, but felt bad the whole time. Whether I actually was or not, I felt like I was getting glares from all over – from the people I knew, from guys who I thought might be attached to the girl who was dancing near me, from the girl who looked like she wanted to dance but who I passed up because I’d already started dancing with someone else… I’ve…
>Endless string of dreams last night — – futuristic video game show hosted by my JHS gym teacher: Ms. Dodge * ankle crushers * contestents 1 & 2 were androids * very tron – party at my dads * supposed to be gone for the weekend * limo with a baby seat in the back * loitering on the front porch – etc * * * – etc * * off to my birthday-day @ Dad’s.
>When we left the theater, Laura & I were recalling various memories of our own. High School, childhood, and then that lead into her showing me her HS photos, the little book she’d just found in her car. She could see my face drop when she showed me a picture of her ex, and Holly’s current (changed as of typing this – April 30th) boyfriend. “I could beat that spud.” is all that crossed my min. She went into a story about how whacked Holly was, maybe to make me feel better. A story from when they were little. She…
>Parasites — fix up houses just enough, do repairs required by building inspectors poorly. Ventilation from shower into eves. Putting a pipe down, to send moisture out, even out the bottom of the eve would be better then simply filling it with moisture. “They’ve always passed building inspection before when my friend’s done it.” Buy, invest, fix up, sell. Sell at full price with repairs done hastily with shortcuts taken, and cheap materials. Everyone has to save $ but at least do it right. No shortcuts, you owe it to the people who will own it next. No wonder Springfield…
>God damn it. I forgot about this: They’re always pushing for oil drilling in Alaska — they were just trying to come up with a good excuse. People are more apt to say yes to drilling if they think there’s no other choice. What happened to the initial agreement of our handling of Iraq oil, huh? Didn’t we agree that in order to “maintain current market prices” we’d put any overflow, or “our cut” in other words, into a “federal oil reserve”? They have influence over these prices, too – over Opec. One of the selling points of the Bush…
>I went to go see “Eternal Sunshine of the Spotless Mind” on Monday night. It was fantabulous! I was extremely impressed with the actors abilities. Charley Kaufman has again written a fine piece of cinema. If you’ve seen Adaptation and enjoyed it, you probably know what I mean when I say it follows the same dynamic, circular (read: non-linear) story telling style as Adaptation, and some of the same thought-provoking mind-fucks as both Adaptation and Being John Malkovitch. You don’t necessarily need to bring your brain with you (but it couldn’t hurt), just a few emotions, and maybe even that…
