GIMME A LEONARD COHEN AFTERWORLD.

friday the 3rd.
Slough Bridge Road.


There's been so much rain in these parts of late that the ground squishes under my every step. The leaves, the rocks the general woods type materials are covered in that dark brown earthy tone of death.

I really couldnt give you a reason why i had pulled my car over. The woods and...

i was 7 years old in 1984. i wasn't allowed to go to shows. but, i was into michael jackson and duran duran, anyway.
i don't think they have elephants. horse is as big as they get. *shudder*
aoife:
what I think is funny is that the girl who was so concerned about my coworkers' sex lives is the girlfriend of a guy that works there. She doesn't even work there and she's got more gossip than I do. Bah. Why do people care so much?

ALL NIGHT FOREVER.

the here and fucking now.


back from Xmas mental vacation. lost on the edge of the world of the normal. i shaved my beard down to a devil goatee and now i look like every frat boy i see on the corner in the bar part of town.

i guess that's ok. I'm bored.
aoife:
frat boys are wearing goatees these days?? you will have to kill them.

I love Ewan MacGregor. I saw a preview for that but it's one of the few I haven't tracked down yet. The Pillow Book is also good. have you seen that?
krista:
I'm back home...it feels so good. I've had a drink and I'm normalizing.

I got this cool bracelet for Xmas. Then I lost it somewhere on the Ohio turnpike. Ugh.

Happy Holidays!

Made it through another year...can't...hold out...much...longer...

Just kidding, I'm alive and kicking ass. But yesterday's dinner with the Clampetts was very challenging, to put it politely.

Hope Satan (see above left picture) was good to you and yours!

HOT WIRE MY HEART

My Head. last night.


Another dream that has my head swirling the next day.

New York City streets are black and gray. Tonight they are orange.

Tonight. I see Miles Davis in a bloody pool outside a bar.

Tonight. He talks to me and blames white america for all that has happened to him this night. (he was beaten by a...

astrogirl3000:
the fact that you have a treepeople 45 makes me happy smile

feeling better about things, finally. hope you are too. had this weekend off, went to see lord of the rings downtown last night.

grenouille IS a little scamp-gotta find my copy of that book so i can read it in two days again. it's quite the page turner....
mtlqueen:
Did I get myself into your bad books by saying that I'd rather watch J-Blo and Bloated Ben in a movie than Leo and Cameron? I will probably still see Gangs of New York because I love gangster movies. I watch them all. Same thing with horror movies. Even the really sucky ones. I'll fast forward through them and make up a new dialogue for them.

Crazy dream. Been drinking a lot of absinthe party punch?

WHEN I NEED IT ...IT'S BEHIND ME... AND WHEN I DON'T...IT'S BY MY SIDE.


The South. 2002.

Xmas time is upon me.

Covering me with a blanket of wet memories full of eunni.

The older I get the more and more my childhood seems farther away. It's like I'm remembering a movie I saw years ago. The feelings. The thoughts. The whole shebang.

My fave...

I FOUND THAT ESSENCE RARE

Stockholm Sweden.

last night.


156 km. to the big city here in the land of my family.

156 kilometers to the girl i have fantasized about for the last 15 years.

156 kilometers left on this nuclear blue snowy expressway to my mind. I'm dreaming.

I'm hoping to meet the Hellacopters here. No gigs this week but since I dreamt...

You've given me Harrisburg flashbacks. I don't think I spent much time at Club Metron. My friends were more likely playing whichever VFW that would have them. It wasn't easy being punk rock in Harrisburg.
krista:
Saw fugazi in DC, I'm not sure why I missed the carlisle pike show.

My friends got to open for government issue once. It was very exciting for us 17 year olds.

I guess you've been beaten down by the man, cuz I haven't gotten one peep out of you in at least three or four days...frown
Don't let the man beat you. Save a little sugar for us dorks!
No really, I hope work hasn't been too much of a shock after your time off, I know it's generally painful to get back into the work mode.
Buck up!

LITTLE GREEN BAG
by the George Baker Selection 1973.


day 5 of the lost vacation 2002


The spinning turntable is mesmerising. The 45 record is yellow. I'm a hopeless victim of it's hypnotising rays.

I love my record collection. I have begged borrowed and stolen all of it.

The records stink of the 20 year old polycloride polymer product. The jackets fade with the intention...

CALLING SISTER MIDNIGHT

the atlantic coast 1994

The beach is glass.

I'm face first in the sand. The grains of the stinky stuff are filling my nose and mouth with my every breath.

I can tell that I'd hadnt been in this postion for too long. My bones were still awake and the blood was still flowing.

Like Orpheus on the Southern French beach, I...
