Good morning.
Mae Shi are now listed amongst bands such as Deerhoof, Xiu Xiu, Get Hustle, Replikants, Hella and XBXRX. That’s some dope shit y’all.
Libraries nowadays send you emails in advance letting you know that you’re books are due soon. It makes things a whole lot easier for people like me. I’ll probably drop off my books on the way to the BBQ.
I need a record player. What is a good one to buy?
I ended up going to dinner with lotusblossom and her coworker/friend Athan last night. We decided to play a game of drunken Scrabble afterwards. They quickly decided to abandon the rules of the drinking portion when I got a triple word score using the word “QATS” on my third turn. Either way, I only had one drink and that’s that.
Tonight there is an opening at 33 1/3 Books in Echo Park. The Montreal-based art collective Heavyweight specializes in portraits of cultural icons of note. The artwork on their website is pretty cool. So if anyone wants to check it out with me, let me know.
I have no idea why I came to work today. I’ll just do the LA Weekly crossword puzzle all day. Yeah! That’s it. Pfft.
Thanks to this class I’m taking, I have a bunch of completed short stories which I want to compile. I’ll probably get around to doing that sometime in June. Perhaps even attempt to profit out of it. (Oh my!) Maybe I’ll do a little stupid zine tour this summer through the Northwest. *shrugs* Something.
I mentioned this briefly last night, but I’m interested in starting a band. I’ve talked to N___ and his roommate G___, and they’re also interested. N will be playing keyboards, G will do vocals and I will be guitaring things. We need someone to hit. I’m working on several songs and realizing I hate effect pedals. I’m just going to naturally distort my guitar. That’s it.
Now I hope I don’t jinx anything by mentioning it here.
I had a blast at the ‘Folds show at the Fold. Hahahhaha. The Manifolds sounded great; best I’ve heard them of the 7 or 8 times I’ve seen them. I did a lot of chatting and shit. Missed Year Future. Bummer.
I’m really starting to perk up about starting a band. It will be completely fucked up. Imagine the Get Hustle having an orgy with Unwound and Brainiac. That’s what I’m envisioning. mcgee suggested that we should get totally buffed out. I’ll start working on that tomorrow! Hehehhehe.
Anyhow off to bed with me. I’ve been away from my apartment for 15 hours. Ugh.
Yup. This is post number 1000 for me. It comes just under 3 years of doing this thing. Is it momentous? Not really. It just means that I’m a complete loser who thinks people give a shit about my life. *rolls eyes* Whatever. 🙂
As is typical of a Monday, I’m sort of going through the motions. I’m tired, and just thinking about the day ahead makes me even more tired. Really. Work – class – Silverlake Lounge. I’m going to try to be home at a decent time although I really do want to see Year Future play. Umph. We’ll see.
I have no idea what I need to do this week. I’m not going to think about. If anybody needs me, I’ll be underneath my desk taking a nap. G’night.
The LA Times does a piece on Aaron McGruder, creator of Boondocks. I’ve been an avid reader of this strip and think McGruder has the uncanny knack of deconstructing issues to their core with naive cynicism for seasoning. Rock!
Also, there is nothing like driving through Palos Verdes with the windows down and listening to Brainiac really really loud. I love screaming out my version of the lyrics to “Pussyfootin” since I have no idea what the real lyrics are.
Tomorrow after class, I’m going to meet lotusblossom at Silverlake Lounge to see the ‘Folds. She’s one person I wish I could hang out with more often. Unfortunately our schedules do not allow for this to happen. It’s quite sad because if I were a hetero or she were a boy, we would be together and married or something like that. Damn you sexual orientation!
Goddamn yo it’s hot in here!
