Subject:DO NOT READ THIS (bitch bitch bitch rant)
Security:Public
Mood:worthless
Music:radiohead - how to disappear completely

I've needed to write this down for months now. It's getting tiring holding all of this in. I just wanna cry about it all and start over. I'd rather be a dog.

I feel like my life ended and I'm walking through a bizarre excuse for hell. I flunked out of college again. Because of one class.

My final grade was a "B" in the one class that dragged me down, but due to 5 classes I missed my professor lowered my grade to a D. And for all the time I've wallowed on over this, it occurs to me that he has the right. 5 classes = 5 weeks. One class a week. But my final grade was supposed to be a B, goddammmmmit.

I'm sick of trying towards anything. I think about suicide, but that's a selfish cop-out. I do know that much. Besides, for all I know what comes after death for me is worse than this.

The worst part of where I'm at is dissappointing everyone that cares about me. What would be the difference between now and if I REALLY died? Answer me that, bastard life.

I'd rather slip into a coma for the rest of my life than do ANYTHING now. I'm a failure. And I'm always tired. No body likes me. I don't like me. I can't even call my own parents for comfort. They'll just make me feel worse. I'm so lonely and I feel helpless.

Having said all of that, I wouldn't wanna forget how broke and in debt I am. Our phone has been shut off for months because of how irresponsible and worthless I am. And every paycheck I say I'm gonna fix it and then I always end up not able to afford it.

I wanted to go to school to be a filmmaker, and now that's just a joke that everyone but me is laughing at. I've been in college for over 4 years and I have nothing to show for. I often dream of going back and starting over. Beggining with 9th grade. I'd do it all differently.

I fucking hate everything except for sleep, music, soda, cigarettes, and movies. How stupid is that? All I wanted was to get smart, get the fuck out of college, get a nice job, and get the hell out of this life I have now. I hate the idea of me having the job I have now for the rest of my life.

I'm gonna go cry and welcome death. Fuck.

Subject:12 Rods are Breaking Up
Security:Public
Mood: grumpy

One of my top ten favorite bands just so happens to be local to the Metro area, and now they are breaking up. *sobs*

Their last show...

08.14.04
First Avenue Mainroom
Minneapolis, MN


If you havn't seen these guys perform before, do yourself a favor and see them before they're gone. I'll be the tall redhead sobbing in the front row.

What do they sound like? Indie-ish prog-ish-rock, maybe a little "new wavey" like and very rockin. Keyboards. Soft and heavy guitars depending on the song.

Best description: SOOOO GOOD! Don't miss this event.

P.s. I am not friends or collegues with the band. Just a fan.

!m!

Rock n' Roll.

Mood:fucking astounded
Music:mister density - canned kitty en francais

I have been so stressed about money, grades, and being lonely lately that I've barely done a shred of anything creative.

Tonight [info]stickthelizard (Sarah) came over after we got off of work. We were going to go to the Ministry of Information (horror movie night) finale, but then she showed me [this]. [info]masonbutler, god fucking bless you. Your song "canned kitty en francais" is going to be on repeat in my iTunes player for....well...until it's not. But WTF?! Crazy good shit here, kids. Check it out. Mister Density all the way.

I had the biggest mental knot a half hour ago and now.....I'm just fucking intoxicated by this music/noise.

I've met the guy that does this shit a few separate times, and I knew he was cool, but this is fucking rediculous. No one is THIS cool. Mighty fucking fuck.

Subject:One day I'll have the coolest apartment all to myself.
Security:Public
Mood: irritated
Music:the cars - candy-o

I'm extremely tired of not having total privacy. All that stands between me and hooligans drunkenly playing video games in the next room is a thin curtain and whatever music I try to drown them out with. It was fine for a while because there weren't people in our living room 24/7, but now it's next to impossible to have a minute TO MYSELF without getting up and leaving the house.

I'm not sure how it ended up getting to me.

I think Clint and I need to agree upon having people over from now on. Since there are no doors to my bedroom. Or my "office" area.

But the rent is cheap. And Clint is my best friend usually.

I just watched Kill Bill Vol.1 again. This time with Jerred and Clint. I have to find a screener of Vol.2 or see it again soon.



God. The first one ends so brilliantly.



No, seriously. I fucking adored this film. Those pics are funny though.

I've said it before, but it bares repeating. I want a fucking Kitana.

Oh and, internet? Clint says "hi".

I still have the alcohol tolerance of a minor. I drank 2 bears and I'm already feeling it. Very nice. Jerred brought over a case of Milwaukee's BEST. I love it when people bring me beer. Now only if someone'd order me a pizza.

It would appear that we are all playing Super Mario Bros. 2.

How quaint. [This made me chuckle]

Subject:I am gonna seriously miss Albert.
Security:Public
Mood: okay
Music:some enon beeps and boops

Last night was a bundle of unforseen fun.

I finished my last paper a few minutes to 5 when it was due in my professors inbox. I then waited around for a reply from her so I knew she got it. I went downtown to see about a grade, came home, and proceeded to sit, smoke, and look at pictures of robots.

Around 7:30 Albert called. He asked if I wanted to go to his brothers show with him. I did of course so we planned our meet. After showering and whatnot he came and got me, we went out to Taco Bell Snelling, and ate our head weight in tacos. Albert and I have always done this for as long as I can remember. We go to Taco Bell, eat lots, share a drink, and talk life, girls, and comics till I need a cigarette and we leave.

This is the order of things.

And now he's leaving for CA in August. Yeah sure, we have the whole summer to gallavant and conspire, but I am realizing again just how much I love him and will miss him when he's gone.

The Phuong You Norway show was unexpectedly beautiful. Albert's brother, Phuong, played at least 50 songs and really had me grooving most of the time he was up there. He covered Across the Universe By the Beatles and 99 Red Balloons and played so many gorgeous songs he'd written himself that I most definitely HAVE TO get his cd now.

After the show Al and I went back to his place and chilled for a bit. He showed me his life for the past 3 years in pictures and really made me wish we'd been closer.

His new comic [The Painted War #3] is fucking badass too, by the way.

Here is a page. (below)



Look at that. Blood. Cute mime girl. Fuckin black and white epic.

He burned me a copy of the most recent Enon record and WHOA is it different than Believo, the one record of theirs I already had. This new one is full of beautious beats and synth poppy goodness. As well as their traditional indie space rock rhythms. It's all around a fucking brilliant record.

I want to get a demilitarized hand gun and a samurai sword. Albert has both + some and I can't seem to take my hands off of them.

Mood: mellow
Music:the cure

The spring semester is finally over. Hell yeah. Now I have more time to write than ever. I gotta get this screenplay done that I'm working on. Now that I have Final Draft 6 typing it up is a breeze, but I can't decide if I wanna leave it as a screenplay or make it into a comic/graffic novel.

Clint and I watched Star Trek TNG this afternoon. The epsode where everyone is drunk and Data gets laid. It was the funniest Star Trek episode EVA! Seriously.

The other day I bought the Quimby the Mouse book. It is by far the most intricate graffic novel I've ever seen. It's gonna take me a while to finish reading it. Luckily it's not all one story though. I can put it down an not read it for another week without disorientation.

I'm lonely. I need to find someone this summer.

Security:Public

[info]crowe and [info]pantsmanticore are watching TV and giggling merely 8 or 9 feet away from me. I sure am glad that I have awesome fucking headphones and enough Jesus & Mary Chain to last me through the night.

So a few days ago I got a Friendster invitation from the first Elle Magazine girl. The one I met at the U and took to the Dismemberment Plan show. WTF?!

The last time I got an email from her I replied that we ought to get together sometime. She replied that she would but in a few days she was going to London or something. "She'll be back." I thought.

So after the Friendster invite I made my request again.

Now she's moving to LA in a day.

But if that doesn't suck enough, she's moving there for a screenwriting internship. A FUCKING SCREENWRITING INTERNSHIP. As if she couldn't get any hotter or cooler.

Fuck. I need some Smiths now.

Here's a quiz I took. I've never heard of this book until now. Read more... )

I shaved most of the beard off. I now have a goatee thing. And new Georgio Armani transitions glasses. I am sex. They turn into sunglasses when I go outside. It's fucking MAGIC!

Today Jerred and I are loafing in the best way: Pizza + Beer + Super Mario Bros. 3 + many cigarettes = couch potato central.

I do have to go to school eventually today, but I only have a rough draft due, so that'll only take me 45 minutes to do, meaning I can vedge till around 5pm. Boo-yah.

There was this SNL thing on VH1 this morning and they showed when Talking Heads played SNL way back whenever. It was awesome.

I long for Deep Space Nine. Gimme.

Subject:I am the quintessential geek now
Security:Public
Mood: morose

Yesterday my buddy Dank took me to Big Brain comics after work. I bought the first Lone Wolf & Cub book, Optic Nerve #9, and some Bureau For Paranormal Research and Defense (Hellboy) stationary.

Then last night I fell asleep with my glasses on.

Around 4 or 5am I rolled over and felt something snap under my elbow. I looked to see what it was and discovered my glasses had divided, broken right in the middle of the nosepiece.

This morning I taped them together and now look like an extra from Revenge of the Nerds. I'd post a picture but I loaned out my digital camera.

I feel rediculous. At least I'll have something to read at work tonight.

And I'll finally be able to get new glasses. I've needed a new perscription for over a year now.

I rented Near Dark last night. Finished watching it just a few minutes ago. I have to write a paper on it before Tuesday.

12 Rods are playing the 7th Street Entry tonight if anyone wants to tote me along.

Music:nirvana - incesticide

Jerred woke me up early by calling a zillion times. This is what he does. And then he doesn't come over for hours and hours and you want to kill him until he arrives and then you just wanna relax. Until the bitching about Molly resumes. But whatever. We watched Robin Hood: Prince of Thieves. I'd forgotten what a good film that is. I cannot believe what a good job Alan Rickman did playing the Sheriff of Nottingham. He really pulls off the disgustingness with great precision.

[The Sheriff has said he'll cut out Robin Hood's heart with a spoon]
Guy of Gisbourne: Why a spoon, cousin? Why not an axe?
Sheriff: Because it's DULL, you twit, it'll hurt more!


And then I went to work and read some of Love & Death, which is surprisingly biographical. These guys did a really good job going to Aberdeen and finding out more about Kurt than anyone else ever had. It's really quite touching.

Then a hellish storm came and our boss sent us home.

Clint and I watched The Dead Pool (a Dirty Harry film) and a few episodes of the best cartoon currently on cable television: This Just In...

I cannot believe how conservative this show is! Amazing. I want more! More!

I love the Spike network to pieces.

Now I'm just bumping around online....



[info]kiad wrote in [info]replicants of a new cyberpunkish french/japanese comic book adaptation.... "Now this is weird, it has two websites, one for the French Market, and one for the Japanese- no American site as of yet."

http://www.immortel-lefilm.com/
http://www.god-diva.jp/

Both sites are superbly made. Uber-futuristic looking. You know, the usual.

[this site] has some clips from the movie. (english w/french subtitles) Check them all out.

The trailer looks soooo awesome. Fuck! I wanna see the film. It doesn't look like it's being released in the states though. Damn it!

The film itself appears to be a blatant mixture of The Fifth Element and Stargate, as I saw in the clips and trailers I've seen and as [info]kiad stated. Those are both movies I like so I don't see why it would be bad.

Yesterday was soooo much fun. Not only was it gorgeous out for most of the day, so many fucking awesome things happened.

First of off, my friend Heidi and I went shopping after work. We hit up Ragstock where I proceded to find Donnie Darko buttons. Then we went to Borders. I bought the new book Love & Death: The Murder of Kurt Cobain. I'm so happy I got paid so I could buy that. We also went to The Source where I blew even more cash on Adrian Tomine's Summer Blonde. It's been so long since I've purchased comics. And what better way to start up than to buy an Optic Nerve graphic novel? EXACTLY.

Okay, okay, okay. The coolest thing that happened yesterday/last night was that Kate came over...and we had a very pleasant time, modestly speaking.

There's no pressure, but she has a decision to make now. Thus the campaign ad.

More of those to come if the election drags out.
