I'm currently obsessed with Frank Black's cover of Dirty Old Town, which is funny because the first version I heard of the song was last Saturday performed by Suicide Jack who I mentioned in my last journal. It was completely accidental that I heard them in that order because I picked up the Frank Black album a couple of weeks ago, heard the song...

Happy Thanksgiving!

And as much as I love the Pixies and the Breeders, I've never gotten into Frank Black's solo stuff (although I saw an acoustic solo set he did at Easy Street Records that was freaking AWESOME.
I dont wanna have to shout it out
I dont want my hair to fall out
I dont wanna be filled with doubt
I dont wanna be a good boy scout
I dont wanna have to learn to count
I dont wanna have the biggest amount
I dont wanna grow up.
Ironically though, I think it's time for me to grow up. I'm so afraid...

It's at like 8th and Pine, across from the convention center, where the temporary library was. The only catch is it's $25, but it was pretty awesome.

I went to the movies by myself tonight. At the risk of not sounding like a Heartless Bastard, Stranger than Fiction was an absolutely beautiful movie. More romantic than comedy, but it's really great. I think tomorrow I'm going to try and catch Let's go to Prison and Fast Food Nation. I didn't even know that there was going to be a movie based...

Awesome! It's such a great flick. I highly suggest the book too. It's got a more UK-centric vibe to it, but it's an excellent read. A lot of guys say that they read and watch Fight Club to learn how to "grow up and be a man", but High Fidelity does it for me. And having worked at an independent record store for a little bit, I guarantee that almost every interaction that you saw between customers and employees rang true.

Also, all together I think I spent a grand total of $730 for the system, extra controller, 3 games , and the extended warentee. It would've been $830, but I had $100 worth of trade in when I reserved it, and once it was reserved I was able to pay it off like layaway to spread the cost over 3 paychecks.
I watched this big budget Russian action/occult movie called Night Watch tonight. It was pretty interesting. Kind of reminds me of Constantine or Blade with less cheese and less contrived fight scenes. I watched it in Russian with subtitles, I hear the dubbed version sucks.
Okay, here's the interactive part of my journal: I want you to assume that I've never heard any bands ever...

also you have obviously heard of they might be giants, but by the time i got to editing it was too late. pretend i said: the exploding hearts!

For some reason I always associate TMBG with Talking Heads and Trio but I think that's a personal thing having little to do with genre or style. But Trio is a german minimilist band known for "Da Da Da" (I swear the rest of thier music isn't like that) and, well, everyone knows Talking Heads. I like their album Little Creatures.
Ugh. Long day. Woke up at butt thirty, drove down to McMinnville, OR, worked for about 10 hours, and then drove back.
I've been feeling sort of emo lately. Not like whiny emo, more like contemplative emo. When the fuck am I not contemplative though? It's interesting to me because it's a somewhat new experience, so I'm gonna ride it out for a little bit...

you should just steel back the old one. much cheaper.

Well I liked the last one. What was his name, Charlie?
I just bore witness to a man threatening RicerX with fisticuffs and subsequently throwing a temper tantrum because he felt that his milkshake contained an insufficient amount of peanut butter, all while ABBA's Fernando blared on the jukebox. Never a dull moment at Beth's Cafe!

I thought you got rid of your porn? We got the car out of your spot. Shifts really smooth now except for reverse.

It totally is. Last I knew they were sitting on your window sill.
I have next week off! (so far)
YESSSSSSSSS!
I was planning on visiting Tennessee on my next week off, but now it's all close to Christmas and the weather is shitty there now, so I think I'll just wait.
I totally need to get on the road, I'm supposed to be driving to Portland tonight.
