had a good little getaway. spent it driving mostly and just resting at random ass spots. spent too much money at amoeba records out in hollywood. i could live in that fucking place, its like heaven just really warm. lol. venice was cool as usual. drove up to bakersfield, then through it and through the mojave desert. hung out at a couple of truck stops. it was all good times. very relaxing weekend. hopefully next time i can take a longer trip.
so i see we finally were able to get the SGIE group. thats awesome..damn it i gotta go shower shave and get ready for tomorrow morning (work)..peace

Yeah I went to Morongo before it was all fixed up too and some prostitute was showing us how to play the I Dream Of Jeannie game, good times! It does look really nice now, basically like Pechanga, which is basically like Vegas style all fancy-schmancy.
I know what you mean about Amoeba, you just want EVERYTHING!!! That's how i feel about the Virgin Megastore in hollywood too, too much good stuff!
Sounds like you had a very nice drive, I love the Mojave desert, there are some good photo opp's at some train tracks and further on towards Bishop a few abandoned stores and motel types, good stuff to shoot in B/W, kinda' creepy sometimes though too.
Anyhow I have heard some of Neko Case's stuff before on a compilation cd i had got with a magazine or something, and yeah her voice is quite lovely! I'm not a huge manson fan, but his girlfriend is hella hot!!! heehhee, I've inadvertently seen him at his house, back when he was with Rose McGowan, (that was the second time i saw her) he was standing outside waiting for her to park, and some asshole was blocking the road so i was stopped there for like 3 minutes waiting and he and I just stared at each other and then I was on my way. he was tipsy i think, without a shirt, smeared makeup and kinda' swaying heehee.
And yeah i recognize the name of that film from the ifc channel, next time i catch it i will give it a try.
Okay so before I turn this "comment" into a novel, here's my answers to yr questions dear.
1. Are you afraid of dying or death in general?
No, actually I can't wait to die and see what happens after, but then if nothing happens, then yeah thats kinda scary. But seriously, no i am not afraid of death since i'm pretty spiritual and all I really do look forward to it, i don't mean to sound too morbid. Oh wait one thing, i really have a fear of not being able to breathe so i hope i don't go that way, that does freak me out (i.e. drowning/smothering, etc.)
2. What do you like to do when nobodys around, when your all alone?
Oh you know I am such a nerd, when I have me-time, I always read, i know that doesn't sound too exciting but its true, i snuggle up and read in bed, or watch films by myself or sometimes i like to just lay around and think about all kinds of things, life, dreams, etc. for hours.
3. whats a dirty secret you have?
ooh a dirty secret hmm...i'm interpreting this as something bad about me that no one knows, so i hope that's what you meant...let me see...what will I let out....fuck I don't know what to say! Um, once when I was broken up for like a day with an old boyfriend of mine I purposely got drunk and made out with his best friend who liked me (a girl) and then totally blamed it only on her when we got back together. Geez what an idiot I acted like when i was with that dude, it was one of those things where we brought out the worst in each other, you know very Sid & Nancy.
