The following comes from the book Skinny Legs and All by Tom Robbins, which I am currently reading. I read this part recently and loved it...so I decided to share. To clarify things a little (in case it's needed), Spike Cohen is Jewish, Roland Abu Hadee is Moslem, and Reverend Buddy Winkler is Christian. As for the mentions of veils, those refer to Salome, or...

Chuck Palahniuk has long been one of my favorite authors, and anyone who's read one of his books need not ask me why. After seeing Fight Club in the theatre, I tracked down a copy of the book and have been in love with his work ever since. I finally got the opportunity to meet the man while he toured the country in support of...

i've only read a couple of Palahniuk books (Fight Club and Invisible Monsters) and it was like three years ago but little disturbing bits of them still pop into my head from time to time. i'd like to read more of his stuff sometime, i know my boyfriend has more.
i've already decided the next book i read is going to be I Am Legend. i don't know how i didn't know about it. but i HAVE to read it. unless one of my coworkers gets around to lending me his copy of Rime of the Ancient Mariner.
who am i kidding, i don't even have time to be posting this, i have to be somewhere.

aww, thanks. the area i happen to live in is just a very difficult one. i saw a cute little house with the lower floor for rent today and the landlord said the first person to get their application in that she approved would get it, and i got mine back in very very quick (went straight to work, filled that sucker out FAST and then faxed it over and left her a mesage to let her know). so, we'll see. i'm sure once i do get a place you'll know because i'll be all "EEEEEE!!!!'
It's official. I'm finished with school now. The grades are in, and I walked on Saturday. I did some celebrating over the past few days, which led to mass drunkenness with some of my best friends last night. Good times.
Now, to find a new job...

Thursday afternoon, I drove out to Love Field to catch the first of 2 planes that would eventually drop me off in Ontario, California. I landed on time, grabbed my luggage, and caught the bus to get my rental I'd set up. As I was talking to...

lucky you, going to see all those bands. oh well, at least i have access to cheap cds, even if i cant go see giant shows like that. i've been hearing a lot of wonderful things about Bjork's performance. the new album is different, i think it's got too much "down-time" on it, but the songs that do stand out are amazing, and Antony's voice compliments hers wonderfully. i think i need to get some of his stuff.
maude:
damnit, i didn't get any swag with my cd and i work at a freakin' indie cd store. 
oh well, at least i got to see Sage for free once and he rapped at/about me at one point.

I don't know about anyone else...but I really dig the new profile set-up. The last one was way too restrictive, especially in the interests lists.
As promised, I've uploaded a decent (in other words, not great) picture of myself, facial hair and all. There are better ones if you stop by my Fuckspace page.

Two things of importance.
1--If you haven't heard Year Zero yet, head over to yearzero.nin.com and listen to it. Album of the year? Could be.
2--If you're looking for fun this weekend (or any time in the next month or so), go see Grindhouse! See this one in the theatres, or you won't get the full experience. Seriously, I can't stress that enough.
Beyond that,...

Those are good NIN lyrics!
sitting here, the glow from the waffle-maker toasting my facethe fingers work the keys, a concerto in alphanumeric souponly the digital tap-dance and the aural pleasure from an mp3 player can be heardthe tv stares blankly into the room, reflecting its contents in a sea of mudthe dishwasher has a mouthful of dishes it's showing off, trying to gross me out even though the dishes...

I try to be picky about the friends I choose. I make cuts often, as you are aware of. 
I wish I was, but just don't have the time. Are you?

Yeah, that would be an awesome treat. You'll have to tell me how it goes!
song of the day: "This Is Our Emergency"
when you've finally thrown up your hands
poured your heart out, yet nothing stands
it seems our efforts are wasted
but yet it hasn't been in vain
unfulfillment is killing you
seems like no one shares the same view
we may have never met but
it might be you who pulls me through
stand up so i...

it's hard having faith in my ability to change the world around me when so many others have no faith in their abilities to exact change. Deep Ellum, a place close to my heart for all the great memories it's been a venue for, has been beaten down so bad it can't open its eyes anymore. this...

as insufferable as the stupid middle-aged wanna-be hippies that infest my town are, they do loves them some local businesses. so much that they actually get a little disappointed when they find out that my place of work has multiple stores (though we are still a local chain, still owned and run by the guy who founded it, and my store is the original).
and what's the deal with mediocrity anyway??? i say, unless something grabs me by the ears and screams "HEY!!! FUCK YOU, I'M AWESOME!!!" then i'm really not interested.
