Thanks for the birthday wishes! Super kind of you! That was really nice and unexpected. And as you love DVDs, I got 2 today! Enter the Dragon and Good, The bad and The Ugly both special editions. COOOOOOOOOLLLL!

you'll appreciate what i am referring to here

hope tonight is going ok!

Bastille day sucked for me because i got my wallet stolen the night before and i spent all day kinda bummed out. Otherwise I'm sure it woulda been cool. I absolutely loved Paris.

Have a great weekend!

hey, promise if you pass by me on your morning commute into burbank you'll flash me that sexy grin of yours. im curious to see what that's like...and you can consider it your good deed for the day. i'll be in the blue subaru forester drinking my morning slurpee and listening to NPR way too loud.

Have a great Tuesday

excuse me i have to go have a shot of bourbon, one of draino and then a eat a bullet. fuck's sakes. give me more of your writing, i am hungry for it, my brain craves it. give.






how are you?

My pleasure. We are in this fight together. We, the human race. Cheers.

thanks for the concern about the moms...all part of life.

i work in beautiful Hollywood. Hollywood and La Brea. live in beautiful Burbank. get a lot of flack for that but that's just where i ended up when i first got out here...
oh and yer obviously one sharp tack and i wouldnt dream of ignoring you or being anything but straight as an arrow...i love writing in cliches

My best friend is currently coming off of her anti-depressant, and is going through extreme feelings of irrationality that she KNOWS were not a part of her before she started taking the medication. It's chemical, and she's aware of it, and she just closes herself in her room and meditates, or makes some tea and takes a hot bath and has a good cry. Definitely nothing wrong with a good cry.

I have been on medication in the past, and after a few years I figured the ability to finally develop coping mechanisms, moments of bliss and ability to orgasm far outweighed the benefits of being an emotional flatline. If you feel it's the right thing for you to do, then I say hell yeah. Enjoy every emotion to its fullest.

Oh my, I made a mistake Ms. Lillitatiana...There are 36 dramatic situations and I found them for you here:

My undergrad days were a while ago.
Sorry about that. The number 26 gets stuck in my head sometimes because of Peter Greenaway. He's always so formalistic in his films.

By the way, Betty Blue, very rad indeed. I used to have a Beatrice Dalle poster but it disappeared when I made the move West.

No, i beleive they are all there. there's probably too many. there's lots of debate about the number...i just think it makes great party conversation

a prof. told me that if someone appplied them to modern films for examples they could make a fortune in the whole screenwriting book racket. the original author referenced plays i believe.

i can only hope the part where that person ripped up cool looking letters was made-up.

nothing ever happens that is worth documenting during the ages of 24 to 30 anyway.

did you ever read anything by mary gaitskill?

you should.

good, you've read all the important ones!

i used to have copies of bad behavior AND two girls fat and thin, but i think they have become casualties of my frequent moving.

your story reminded me of her.

(how are you on here right now???)

stuck in the woods with a beer encrusted mongoloid... man, if I had a nickel...

so right and so on the nose Ms. Lillitatiana. thank you for your comment on my last journal entry and i so love your literary voice in the above journal. mongoloids and yellow crusty eyes are not something someone of your grace, intelligence and stature should have to endure.

Hey, I saw your comment in my journal... thanks for the condolences. I tried to email you through the "contact" form on this page but it came back undeliverable.

sorry little sister... not much consolation I can offer ya on this one... being on the receiving end of the kinda thing yer talking about sent me into the realm of self imposed singlehood for about eight years (Gasp! )... a couple thing I did learn during that time was the capacity to have real unconditional love for all the people in my life ( you know... not feeling like I had to wait for a certain someone to share that with).... & I really started to value every moment that I spent with those people... the result seems to be that I feel alot less alone in my heart...

by the by... misdirected, maybe.... useless, doubtful... the trick is to remember what leaves you feel ing wounded... "Doctor, it hurts when I do this."
"The don't do that."

love to ya Chica
