Well, it was a good weekend, and it was a bad weekend. The sour boy may or may not be here. Before we get into that rant, here's some lyrical goodness from The Afghan Whigs.
What Jail is Really Like?
I'll warn you, if cornered, I'll scratch my way out of the pen
Wired, an animal
The claustrophobia begins
You think I'm scared of girls
Well maybe
But I'm not afraid of you
You want to scare me then you'll cling to me no matter what I do
Tell you a secret
They shared a needle once or twice
I loved her, she loved me
We slept together a couple of times
You think I'm proud of this
Well maybe
But the shame you never lose
Infatuated with a lunatic and cornered by the muse
And it goes down every night
This must be what jail is really like
And I will scratch my way out of this pen, again
Lonely?
Maybe
Or maybe not
It all depends
Your ideal, your image
Your definition of a friend
If what you're shoveling is company
Then I'd rather be alone
Resentment always goes much further than it was supposed to go
Fucking Gregg Dulli. The man is a genious, IMHO. Musically and lyrically. On to other things...
Bad Weekend stuff: Hurricane Charley battered Ft. Myers area in Florida where I used to live. Cant get in touch with my friends, so I'm a little pensive. Not completely worried, though....they're smart folx, and tend to stay AWAY from fucking trailer parks during high wind situations. Its just surreal seeing the places I used to frequent battered.
Other bad weekend stuff: still stuck sour boy mental state. Past relationships, bad decisions, regrets, etc. They all have been slipping into my consciousness back and fourth. I'm pushing through this bout as usuall...it just seems slow this time around.
Good Weekend Stuff: Caught a viewing of the remake of Zatoiche: The Blind Swordsman at the Ritz. Very entertaining flick, although the digital blood and swordplay was just odd (not to mention the surreal dance sequence). It was also odd seeing Takeshi playing the main role....fans of MXC will recognize him as Vic Romano, one of the hosts. Just weird....still, anyone interesting in Japanese Samuari flicks should definitely see it.
Good Weekend Stuff: Caught up with my familiy to celebrate my grandmothers birthday. It was nice to see the family, as usual. Also, hooked up with Rob, Reg, and Doug to watch beforementioned Samurai flicks, drink alcohol, and watch crappy horror flicks (The Dead Hate the Living was this weeks choice).
Last but not least, hooked up with Captain Lufy, sidekick Eviltwin, and Lufy's cool brother for some impromptu drinks at the Tap late Sunday. Didnt know if we were still going to do it, but it turned out to be a go. Those guys are a blast. If SG is worth anything to me, its meeting all of the cool folx here on the site. It still stings that the Lufinator is heading to fucking Hillbilly country to pursue his life's dream of a child-beater....err, TEACHER. Good for him...bad for us. But, Ill stay away from the selfish thoughts for now.
Wednesday night, try to make it out to MoI for drinks if you're in the Philly area and reading this. We'll send off Luftansa is good fashion.
In the music rotation these past few days:
1.) Kate Bush - Hounds of Love (Yeah, I like her...so FUCK OFF).
2.) A Perfect Circle - Thirteenth Step
3.) Codeine - Frigid Stars
4.) Elvis - #2 (compilation)
5.) Mule - If I Don't Six...

Dark House comics...pashaw...who reads that crap!
I was always more of a Marvel gal myself. And later i was all about Fantagrphics...Los Bros. Hernandez...sigh..I always wanted to be Maggie.
We're still figuring out tonight. I need to live closer to things. All the cool kids seem to be in Northern Liberties or West Philly. Stupid Washington Square. What is the lay out like in there? And what is the time frame for this?
Considered yourself warned!
