So apparrently I'm being interviewed by the New Musical Express tommorrow at 'half-past noon'. Any of you European types wanna give me the low-down on it? I checked out the website, and it looked pretty cool. Tee-hee. I'm such a wannabee rockstar. Then I get to pack and drive ten hours. Yuck. My car is such a wannabee airplane...

There's a great little ditty by Billy Childish called 'I hate the fuckin' NME' hehehehe.....Seriously, it's still cool after 25? years...some of their writers are evil bastards who like to rip apart bands daily.....They often came with free cassettes or cd's back in the 80's and nineties.......

Busy, busy...time to start packing for my SF trip. I leave Wednesday. Yay!

Also I am officially a Cherry Tart instead of a tart-in-waiting. They voted me in at the last meeting. So, once I get back from SF I'll be doing the monthly Devil's Point and other shows pretty regularly. My timing is great- the show I'll miss while I'm out of town is...

Oh my god, I've been online for so long that I can no longer blink...I took my contacts out but it isn't helping. It's a terrible addiction preventing me from doing the eight million projects i'm supposed to do. That and the fact that i have absolutely no idea where my new utility knife is. I did look foor it for a while before giving...

I keep a notebook near the bed especially for those first few moments following lucid dreaming... some of the best ideas for writing come from that weird para-world biggrin

Okay, I goofed with the size of those pics blush Anyway, they're laser cut from MDF board, rounded over with a handheld router, sealed and sprayed with 3 coats of colour and six coats of lacquer. Probably the most expensive kitchen floor ever made biggrin

This is turning out to be Wierd Movie Week for me. Mostly because I let my roomie go to the video store alone. Monday we watched 'PS Your Cat is Dead', which is really funny but really twisted and probably not the world's best date movie. Unless you're both guys. Then last night we finally got to see 'Little Otik', which for some reason is...

Jan Svankmajer (dir. of Little Otik) is one of my absolute favorite filmmakers. If you liked that little gem.. check out some of his earlier films which are even better.. in order of descending quality (though all are great) I would say are Faust, Alice (yes, as in wonderland), and Conspirators of Pleasure. There's also a great tape of his shorts called "Scenes from the Surreal."
drnecessitor:
Do NOT stand in front of me at a concert...that butt sould be WAY too distracting, and I wouldn't see a second of the band.

I haven't heard of either of those flicks. I'm out of it blackeyed

It's journal poetry day again, so I'm digging around in stacks of old notebooks to see what i can find. I think I'll use this one because one of the girls has an Orbourous tattoo that was in the 'best tattoos' thread yesterday. I love the concept of the Ourbourous. There was this book called 'The Book of the Dun Cow' that I read at...

So let's see here. My roomie's new leather couch arrived today. Which is good as it means my couch can come live downstairs with me. But I discussed with her before she bought this couch that leather is bad with dogs as little claws leave little scratches. She said it looked distressed allready and wasn't a problem. Now she's forgotten the whole discussion and doesn't...

Take care

Sad to say I didn't see any of you at Conan's last night for the Festival of Pirates. It was lots of fun! The bands were great and everyone pirate-danced so hard I thought the floor was gonna cave in. Then I got up this morning and went to the soapbox derby out at Mount Tabor,where there was at least one pretty nasty crash but...

Yep. I thought it was you, and gave you that "we know each other?" look--but evidently it was indistinguishable from the "wow, you're hot and naked" look that every other guy gives you. So, when I didn't see any recognition from you, I thought I must be mistaken. But I got home tonight and looked at your cheerleading pics and saw the same cute shoes with the skulls... d'oh!

My apologies: I wouldn't normally sit at the rail of a dancer I'd met socially without saying hi and seeing if it was cool with them. 'Cause... y'know...

BTW, my housemate ( the brunette in our group) was just mentioning your super-cuteness and how much she liked your hair.
obelisk:
Haha, guess we were in the same boat! (And, I was 3 sheets to the wind myself on that night at the Devils Point. Well, 2 1/2 anyway.)

p.s. I see Magnetic Fields in your bands list... One thing I wonder about PDX is why thy're relatively unkown here? In Chicago everyone I know is way into them.

The roomie's mother invasion continues. I've mostly been hiding in the basement. It's pretty messy and seems motherproof.

I got my appointment for my consultation for my new tat! Hoorah! It's after I get back from SF, though, and it's just for the consultation. I have no idea how long it will be before I actually see ink. Oh well, that's more time to save...

New ink for Nixon! Woo-hoo! So what's it gonna be? I vote for flies on your left ankle so that the frogs on your right don't get hungry biggrin

My goodness - have you set up a Bed and TV in the basement? Do you have 40 watt bulbs? How long is the mother staying? It's horiffic......

Oy, late night. The show at Devils Point went pretty well. Great crowd, great energy. A few technical difficulties and a rather nasty cut on the bottom of my foot. (bare fairy feet do not mix with tossing beers to audience members holding glasses). Saw a bunch of members, hung out with obelisk and some friends late into the night. Many martinis were had. Also...

Damn I so wanted to come and see your show. But cursed virus infections throughout our company the last two weeks have kept me to the wall in work. Shit I put in 70 hours in 4 days. I am freaking exhausted. Hope you will let us know when you do another.
rybo:
Im so bummed that I couldnt go to that show. Though I get the feeling there will be more to come right.... RIGHT?? lol. biggrin

have fun.

What the Hell am I doing awake? I had at least another hour to sleep. Oh, well. The Niel Gaiman interview here has got me finally reading American Gods, and it's not like I had a ton of spare time before that. So at least I can check my email and cram a chapter or two before I head to yet another practice.
Still awaiting...

Leavin a little message while you're hanging in the living room. Hi! So good to meet you. Hee, hee.
obelisk:
Geez, I couldn't think of anything better than that? (i.e. the previous comment from last night.) I'm officially an idiot. Or drunk. Or both.

Once again, just gotta say that I loved, loved, loved the show last night. Much fun was had.

I've barely been online for days- what a bizarre concept. I've been having to build sets for this hullaballoo Wednesday. ("Hey, I think a tree would really set the mood here" "Great! Build us a tree!") I think it's an initiation right, since somehow or another I seem to have become a Cherry Tart. Plus I've been trying to get outside and enjoy what's left...

Here we were all excited about your new high speed connection. smile
Ah well, enjoy summer in PDX while you can. Also, I never told you that I think it is great that you handpainted your desk. I am truly impressed and have come to the conclusion that you have more artisitic talent in your pinky that I do everywhere. When are you jetting on down the coast? Will you be hanging with SGSF?
big_dave:
Aww.... you've got me all bashful, worrying about li'l ol me blush

The face was an old halloween pic from the days when I had time to make fun stuff instead of crap for architects smile

Yay for setbuilding! I spent two years working for a company doing nothing but.... kick ass. Everything from suburban kitchens to gothic dungeons by way of London streets and spaceship interiors. Good old days....

Oy, long night. And here I am awake bright and early with enough time left to check in here before I hit rehearsal for next weeks Devil's Point show. (Theme: a Midsummer Night's Wet Dream)

Last night I went to my first bachelorette party ever (obviously, not mine). Quite the experience. We went to Silverados, where we saw a guy with amazing muscle control pull...
