I know, I'm never around now! How sucky of me! I no longer have endless hours...more like two a day...which is when I do dishes and stuff...and I'm still getting used to this damn laptop. I've never used one and the keyboard is ITTYBITTY! And it has one of those damn little pressure-mouse buttons, and that's a trick too. My computer creates approach-avoidance. But other than that, I'm good. How you?

The Decemberists are very folksy. They have a fairly unique vibe, which I think, sets them apart from the pack.

Have you got round to seeing Hidden yet? And don't forget about Lady Vengeance either.

Thanks! I should have done this sooner, I love all the compliments!

Boo! I'm back and I got wireless, woohoo! How are you?

btw i dont even fucking snow board. sports are for people with skills.

I haven't really taken much notice of the other oscar nominations apart from Brokeback.

I'm looking forward to Capote. Catherine Keener is in that too. I like her style. Criminally overlooked in my opinion.

I saw Hidden tonight. You'll enjoy it. It's a good film. Very unsettling in places.

Gone are the days when I used to have vivid dreams on a regular basis. But your dream is not unusal. People often dream about being in a traumatic situation, which is beyond their control. What does it mean? Well, I don't know. I'm not an authority on psychology. Perhaps there was something on your mind at the time?

Pornography in mainstream cinema? I'll have to think a little bit more about that one. I'll let you know what I think later on.

I have no idea what your last comment was but last week on Sanford & Son, Fred had a moment that I swear was straight from my life (thank God.). SO he comes downstairs and just tells Lamont

"I had a nightmare. It started out nice, one of those horra movies where the mad scientist brings back the dead and make her his friend. But then he falls in love with the thnig now isn't that disgusting?"


Godspeed today. I gotta work and go hit up my bootlegger.

Weird, I posted that pic at random; I didn't see your comment first. Crazay.



Look at this mug. This bitch screams "Fuck you nigger I came from a Godamned trash can!" JUST like Chappelle would say, same tone everything.

Ahhhhh I gotta Chauncy story. I made him look through the latest Cat Fancy (Playboy, cats, eh. I'm eclectic.) with me and he had good things to say, like he marveled "Those chumpies is cute. I like dem chumpies." Chumpy. What is this? Is it a little kid? B/c (please don't piss yourself) I was looking at Rap Snacks today, you've seen these right? Potato chips called Rap Snacks. They also now have Home Girls, which I knew about but I noticed now they also have Chumpies and there are little kids on the bag (I can't even go into Home Girls). Anyway, he said he likes black cats so I said "Me too, my 2 are black. Well they're from South Philly, you know."



He didn't even blink, though. Hmmm.

Yeah to lunch and YES she is HOT!!! Huh! Such whoring pictures she takes, it's great.

You with Hathaway's boobs, filthy. I go for the spit scene, being a straight girl myself you know.

Fucking dolls. The movie that turned me against them was this one where there's this Barbarella type chick and she's on another planet and she meets all these silent, creepy, zombie-like kids and they all have dolls. They tie her up and she lets them like a dumbass because awww, they're kids at play. awww. Then they stand back and she begs to be released. They all wind up their dolls and set them on the floor where they do that horrifying little stiff-legged walk that toys do and they start chewing on her sexy legs with little mouthfuls of razor teeth and she's screaming and crying and that's when I ran out of the room doing the very same. What movie is that?

Volume two is supposed to be the same film. But the noticeable change in pace and style made it feel more like a sequel, instead of the final reel of volume one. That is my biggest gripe about volume two. The other criticisms are relatively minor compared to the that one.

OK, so the bride in volume one is not only a professional assassin, but is also a gifted martial artist and she's pretty handy with a sword, too. We agree on that point, right? Getting shot in the chest after opening the trailer door, in volume two, was an error worthy of a beginner. And she knew that Bud was sitting waiting for her to arrive!

Later on, before the bride is tutored by Pei Mei, Bill warns her that the martial arts master loathes 'sassy' women, especially Caucasian American women. So having absorbed that bit of info, it makes no sense toward the end of the film when it's blatantly obvious that Pei Mei taught Uma the five-point plam exploding heart technique.

And when she does use the fabled technique to 'kill bill', the death scene which follows was farcical.

Still, I did appreciate the twist. Making the audience sympathize with Bill was nicely done. It was the only highlight, in my opinion, in an otherwise disappointing film.

I'm thinking about seeing Brokeback tomorrow or Match Point. I've got to be in the right frame of mind for Brokeback, otherwise I won't enjoy it.

thanks for the comment on my set!

My favourite Miike film is Ichi the Killler. It's the most twisted yakuza film I've seen. Have you seen Happiness of the Katakuris? Miike tried to squash so many different genres together in one movie, the end result was confusing and just plan weird.

Yeah, I agree with you. The language, clothes and makeup they used to identify the various dance groups was very reminiscent of gangland culture. It was a sad film actually. Those people have little hope of escaping the confines of their enviroment through dance.

I don't wanna tell you this really, but I never slept last night. We were having a great session (!!! It was like that! I never talk about my pending old-maidism!), I got all hyper and then I am a stickler for responding to comments and I went mid-evil. Also blame your father, he was the one who requested this journal! (If he'd only just support me...)

THANK YOU SO MUCH!!!! I REALLY appreciate that very specific feedback about the way I try to write, WOW. That really means a lot to me, thank you so much. I believe my sister is in school for journalism, I should talk to her! Enough of that flattery bullshit.

Oh no, TOO amazingx1000 of you to pick that out as your favorite, although I could've guessed! I was so terrified, my first night. I remember when I first saw the kitchen I said "The cooks are all Black? Thank GOD!" I had just come from the diner where only one person spoke English--REALLY fucking hard to work with. We'll have to use that tagline now...(the "Son" one)

I can't even believe people have read that long ass thing. I know you do, pfft. I'm so glad you said it's the best yet!!!

Oh LOrd the DVDs, you know I went nuts since I only have, what 6? Also the Darko was the sp ed and I paid $30 with tax. She pissed RIGHT on the fucking paper-outside, that stupid sleeve it came with? Whore. It was like she read the price tag and knew. But it's not bad or noticeable--the Jackass one got fucked up. She pisses ALL over my DVD player once a week; Brian and I finally decided today it has to be put away when not in use. And she loves to piss on the TV, ALWAYS. What did we say--brazen?

Ok my EX is here!!! Woof. He bought me gifts and Newport 100's shiiiiiiiiit, we're going to the movies!!!

Later!!

P.S> You didn't say anything about the love-photo of Chauncy and I!!! I would think you soiled youself over that goodness. I'm strangling him!

Totally weird that I promptly deposited that picture before reading your comment requesting a new picture. But it obviously would've been done reguardless. Sister has to do her roots SOON, this is nasty. Then I can take pictures of the legnth but I tell you it is not very long. Thank you for observing it "growing out" (I never thought of it)--very metrosexual of you!

Still water here, thank you for asking. The prick went to work and haven't seen him since. I've got a funny punchline for you reguarding "revenge"...tell you via IM, I's paranoid. I told a lot of my patrons tonight about it of course and it is not really the point that countless people have happily offered to help "make sure" he is gone for the 31st but 2 different parties are

Now, the mall before Xmas. Godspeed. I've done it. I rather miss having a local mall sort of. Good luck with everything and are you going to see movies this weekend? That's my plan and my family is pissed about me. Not at me, but eh, you can understand. I'm going to try to get a hold of the mutual friend again tomorrow. I need to see if he emailed me back.

Now...I gotta update....the greatest quote of the week came during the last 15 minutes of my shift (reguarding one of the above parties)...I think you will go nuts. We need to figure out how to get me equipment to start filming my documentary.

Oh boy. Talk to you soon!

I've sent the zip file to you. Let me know what you think of it.

OK, chambara roughly translated means 'sword fight', the term is used in Japan to categorize samurai movies.

I work for Shar Music. I play the piano and bowed psaltery, along with pretty much everything in the "back of the band" (xylephone, chimes, etc). I can play one song on the violin, too. I'm going to learn cello pretty soon. I can't wait!

Form letter:

I was without internet for a week. Note new addition to my profile. I'll be back!

P.S. And fuck the cunt of Russia.

The new baby is so amazing. She is cuter than the Gitz was as a kitten! I'm scheduled to get the camera soon today so I'm very excited.

Anyway. I still haven't seen it yet! I'm so pissed. And I don't know if I should b/c I've decided to pay the rent for Jan in order to kick Fuckass out, which is worth it. The new Playboy came yesterday and there's a Kong spread and they ran these most beautiful Faye Wray pictures.

Off the top of my head, I would suggest picking up House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski.

It can be a bit demanding, but it's worth the effort.
