if one were to watch the new mudhoney video for the really awful song, it is us, one might notice some familiar faces during the donut dream sequence (squint really hard). i'm pretty sure this is the worst song i've ever heard, thank god they didn't force us to listen to it while they filmed, eh?

List seven songs you are into right now. No matter what the genre, whether they have words, or even if they're any good, but they must be songs you're really enjoying now. Post these instructions in your livejournal along with your seven songs.Then tag seven other people to see what they're listening to.

1. your beat kicks back like death - scout niblett (stuck in my head these past few weeks)
2. love & communication - cat power (purty)
3. making plans for nigel - xtc (it makes me laugh. i don't know why.)
4. veronica - britt daniel (hot elvis costello "karaoke" cover . . . i need this in mp3 form asap)
5. hey boy - the blow (a silly song that gets stuck in my head easily)
6. wayfaring stranger - johnny cash (he's the man)
7. somewhere in the night - smog (too sexy)

The first player of the game starts with the topic of "5 Guilty Pleasures" and people who get tagged need to write an LJ entry about 5 Guilty Pleasures as well as state this rule clearly. In the end you need to choose 5 people to be tagged and list their names.

1) star magazine - my newest guilty pleasure. i blame dinners at veggie thai where these magazines overfloweth.

2) garden turkey sandwiches - for the most part, i eat like a vegetarian. but for some reason i still eat turkey sandwiches from the 400 cafe. i feel guilty every time (even if turkeys are teh ugliest animal evuh). they're delicious :`(.

3) kindergarten cop - what can i say, this is the greatest movie ever. who is your daddy and what does he do?

4) the bachelor: paris - i can't wait for tonight's ep. paris never looked so gay.

5) bean burritos from taco bell - i crave these at odd times. one time i wanted one at 10am. i pulled into the taco bell drive thru, hit the curb, and popped my tire. it was teh awesome. i'd do anything for these, which is scary, considering that they AREN'T REAL FOOD. luckily i work near loco locos burritos so now i tend to eat those instead (and i don't feel as guilty).

i'm tagging adrinantbf, fromblacktoblue, internet_cash, j451n, and obsoletist.

BROKEBACK MOUNTAIN - aka gay cowboys aka best movie ever?

2005-12-09T02:33:52Z

holy crap, i'm so excited to see brokeback mountain. holy crappppp!!!1111

A raw, powerful story of two young men, a Wyoming ranch hand and a rodeo cowboy, who meet in the summer of 1963 sheepherding in the harsh, high grasslands of contemporary Wyoming and form an unorthodox yet life-long bond--but turns ecstatic, bitter and conflicted.

aka hot gay cowboys

in unrelated news, i'm receiving email updates via my mom on my aunt terrie. she's sitting inside her walk-in closet right now with a flash light, cell phone, bottled water, and batteries while hurricane wilma is outside her house D:. i don't think it's too bad, but still. i just feel bad that she's all alone for this one :\.

i am not feeling like myself today. i suppose waking up at 2am and not falling back to sleep has something to do with that. i tried all of my usual tricks of attempting to fall into a slumber (ie reading, musician-alphabet-in-my-head, etc) but none of them worked and so i laid there for 4.5 hours until the radio alarm went off. today my brain is not really interpreting the little impulses that are being sent by the neurons or whatever it is that transmits the thoughts around inside my head. it's kind of crazy that our thoughts are just electrical impulses or waves traveling along . . . are we really controlled by chemical reactions? i hope it's more than that. nothing is making sense, it's quite frustrating. i foresee a long day of excel charts and graphs in front of me. maybe i should buy some fuel for my brain. "yes, have some." i really want to be fully alert for this evening.

1987

the following conversation was overheard this afternoon at music millennium on e. burnside.

14 yr old boy: have you heard of dinosaur jr?
12 yr old boy: dinosaur jr? no.
15/16 yr old boy: i've heard some . . . they're not that great.
14 year old boy: wow, this album came out in 1987. usually really old music is good. usually. you should probably get it.
12 yr old boy: george harrison! is this the guy from the beatles?
14 yob: yeah
12 yr old boy: he has his own album!???
14 yob: yeah. hey, have you heard of the jam?
12 yr old boy: the jam?
14 yob: man, i'm into more experimental stuff. you know. man.

1,000 evacuees are coming to pdx this week. oregon is one of 12(?) states volunteering to help shelter some people. i went down to se 14th & stark last night (the old monroe high school) where a lot of the people will be staying. there were hundreds of cots set up in the gym with a hand painted "welcome to portland" sign on the wall. the cop outside was all "D:!!" basically people were saying "donate to the salvation army or red cross", which yes, this is good. but i think i'm going to head back tomorrow night (i think people are arriving then, i'm not sure?) to see if there's anything else that can be done. if anyone wants to come with me, just give me a call.

i can't imagine having your entire life washed away and being transported to an entirely different state to try and "start over".

what the fuck.

jason and i saw a sign posted on a telephone booth. in giant bold letters it said "RAPIST" with a lovely picture of "KENROY" right below. the following text was printed below the photo: "'KENROY' works as a dj at DANTE'S. 'KENROY' raped my friend. He may come across as a homosexual, but he's not. He will rape you."

just a friendly reminder to beware of homos, kids. they could be the rapists.

yesterday during my lunch break, erin and i devised a plan of handcuffing kuta to one of our bed posts. not only is that the kinkiest idea, but it also means that kuta can't return to her homeland.

we're all having a lot of fun with kuta. wednesday we were at george's for ladies night. i'll post a few pictures . . .

left to right, here's erin morrissey (in the yankees cap, of course), sarah, and you can barely see jim's head on the right . .

soox and katie c. started table dancing right when toby keith's taliban song was playing on the jukebox . .

i actually started smoking last night . . . that's our dear kuta to my right! awww. and kay is sitting on the bar.

kara and jay are pretty much all over each other . . that's jason staring at soox's arse.

natalie, katie rose, and anne all decide to join in on the fun! look at sean waiting patiently with his dollar . .

this is a pic from last night. me and lisa played ddr at avalon while kuta took pictures.

hmm, that's it for now.

take a look, it's in a book

1. Total Number of Books I've Owned: i sell books every time i move. so now i just have a small bookshelf and i use the library like it's a dirty whore. it's much easier on my pocketbook.

2. Last Book I Bought: i purchased digital fortress by dan brown for my dad (father's day). i will hopefully be purchasing flowers in the attic for the trashy book club i joined. . . and maybe some christopher pike, omgz.

3. Last Book I Read: i just finished eleanor rigby by douglas coupland. it was predictable and much like his other books, but i still enjoyed it. the main character reminded me of myself though, which was rather depressing. i just started a million little pieces by james frey this week on recommendation from a few luffly folks.

4. Six Books That Mean A Lot to Me, in no order:

handmaid's tale by margaret atwood
this was my favorite book in highschool, i was a huge atwood fan back then. i'm not sure if i would appreciate so much if i read it again, which is why i haven't. i prefer to remember it the way i did back then.

catcher in the rye by jd salinger
i think i've read this book more times than any other. it feels like an old friend.

microserfs by douglas coupland
my first coupland book which led to many others. i love him, even if he repeats the same story.

me talk pretty one day by david sedaris
my favorite sedaris book. i was thankful to be reading something funny at this time in my life.

pigs in heaven by barbara kingsolver
another favorite book from highschool. again, i have not reread this because i fear that i wouldn't like it so much anymore. it's like when you watch one of your favorite movies from childhood and the memories are ruined. it makes baby cheezus cry.

beloved by toni morrison
i have a lot of funny memories associated with it. my friends and i even made a cheezy movie (which is WAY better than the oprah winfrey beloved movie). i still own it. i remember there's one scene where i carried around a saw with ketchup (aka blood) while pretending to cut a baby. fun times!
