A blitzkrieg trip to New York can be akin to an 18th century seance - calling up scarred battleworn ghosts with revelations from beyond.
The trip itself was fine - a dubious border crossing with a Quebecois punk band whose schtick is tongue-in-cheek incest and pedophilia jokes with a soupcon of riding crop lyrics for flavor.
The evening was well paced - a solo female... Read More
Yes, I was in a graded yoga class! For my school's gen ed requirements you have to have an active kinesiology course along with the fitness and wellness kinesiology course where they teach us how to eat and excercise. So I got to do yoga every Tue. and Thur. morning with two of my best friends Samm and Autumn who were in the class too and I got a credit and a grade for it!
Success is a matter of symbiotic parasitism.. you must suck on the world, but also let the world suck on you to maintain optimum efficacy.
Also key is adaptability - in this nutritional 69ing we cannot allow ourselves to rest too deeply in a milky solipsism that dulls our synapses, nerves and reflexes.
The ideal state is kinetic.. and it is the only one in... Read More
Hi, Lemony. Hadn't Commented here in a bit.
I'm not sure what I wanna do with my life, re: goals. I'd like to say I want to help people and could be a great philanthropist, but it seems to me that often people who need help are scary and don't know how to take help honorably and politely (which I guess sounds stuck up, but I don't mean it like that... and I'm not just talking about "the poor," but all who need some type or help).
So I could just be selfish and concentrate on making myself happy/ fulfilled, but I'm not sure what would do that- I generally try to just enjoy as much as the arts, and "nice things," as I can. I don't really have other goals. I do appreciate the need to set goals to feel fulfilled.
There's a playwright in Crisp's docu, Resident Alien, Robert Patrick, who says people have to define success, and says, "When I was young, I wanted to be in the arts and live in New York... and I've done that. I have succeeded." I think of that often- how great to have set something vague but to have certainly attained it!
Thanks for all the birthday wishes.. almost 59 in all. My birthday was fun, I had a big steak dinner with all kinds of trimmings, one of my favorite wines (Rosemount Esate Black Label Shiraz) and a bottle of 12 year old Glenfiddish, and blueberry pie are provided by my employer.. lovely. It wasn't the Bacchanalian orgy or the lovely trip to the beach that... Read More
Spike Lee, you saucy bitch, not only have you made your best film since Do the Right Thing, you have also broke out the mold of your own career trajectory and made one of the best heist films in 30 years, along with Heat, Croupier, and Reservoir Dogs that can match the best of the originals like the Italian Job (1969), the...

Okay... so people here know about tattoos.. more than me. How does one go about having a custom idea designed? Does the tattoo artist do it? Do you get a friend to draw it up... how does it work?
I have some ideas for sleeves and a chest piece.. but I'm not sure how to go about getting them out of my head and onto... Read More
The pieces I got done were pretty much a collaborative effort due to my not so hot drawing abilities. I'd present what I was thinking of to the artist, they'd work with it and then if needed we'd make a few refinements. I've never had any problem doing it this way, in fact one of mine turned out better than I had originally planned. Just make sure you are 100% happy with the final design though.
Come back to San Francisco and kiss me; I've quit smoking.
I miss doing the wild thing with you.
Will you stay? I don't think so,
but all I do is worry, pack bags, call cabs, and hurry home to me.
It's for a company that does large scale video displays. They do big projection things for movies and conferences. It's actually about twenty minutes from my house.
If you want to talk about great Prince songs, bear in mind that I have been ingesting his Best-Of, non-stop for the last ten waking hours.
I have been back-to-back comparing Raspberry Beret with When Doves Cry, Kiss and Cream all morning, in an effort to decide a winner. I have decided that since Raspberry Beret, Kiss and Cream are actually a trillogy of seduction, the singular winner is When Doves Cry.
Also, Purple Rain wins "Best Wanky and Most Unnecessary Guitar Solo, EVER".
A little bit sad that you weren't there though.
