Sounds like something I heard before
Last night brought in a fairly large shipment of online-shopping results, including Terror Twilight, on cd!! (You can skip tracks and everything!) and an official compilation of Ben Folds EPs, which, though slightly different from my homemade version, at least it doesn't start skipping at track 4. I am certainly not above repurchasing previously ( Read more... ) -
Bag lady
Yesterday's conversation was I think the emotional equivalent of a trip to Sam's for tootsie pops ( Read more... ) -
the look on your face yanks my neck on the chain
The swinging door opened from the dining room and Boo Boo Tannenbaum, the lady of the house, came into the kitchen. She was a samll, almost hipless girl of twenty-five, with styleless, colorless, brittle hair pushed back behind her ears, which were very large. She was dressed in knee-length jeans, a black turtleneck pullover, and socks and loafers ( Read more... ) -
an update for blair, about my trip to italia, and musings at the end of a long, hot summer
and who among us remembers last summer, when there were four adults living in my house, and six hof girls, all unemployed (is that right?) and i gave myself little assignments, like writers to study (salinger first, then fitzgerald-also there was an intensive survey of short fiction, remember that?) and concluded a self-propelled philosophy course ( Read more... ) -
passing through unconscious states
after a long and anxious (pointless) wait, tonight i asked the cute manager at soma ("abe"-no wait, thats his real name-the wait wasnt pointless, i had to find out his name first) out on a date, or, more specifically, to hang out sometime this week. and? he has a girlfriend. it was actually pretty cute, he smiled for a few seconds after i asked ( Read more... ) -
put me in a better mood
as soon as i set foot in nicks, i mean the second i got there a guy, playing pool at the table by the door, left his game to tell me "great shoes, those are great shoes." then this girl went crazy over them in the ladies room and another girl pulled me aside in mid-conversation to tell me how much she liked them ( Read more... ) -
songs about drifters
i read the interview with ole isaac brock the other night, using the reccomended half hour set aside, and i thought after that it might make me think a little less of his music, you know, since hes such an asshole -no, hes a freakin genius. well, i guess thats a strong word to use. strong medicine, as boshkoff would say, or maybe its like the ( Read more... ) -

ALRIGHT ALREADY!
victor gave me the classic have-you-chekced-pitchfork-yet speech this morning. i have been in the best mood of my life the past couple of days, so if you want to talk to me, do it now. i just got back from portland (portland, china?) for a weekend of beautiful, green-forested, coffee-and-beer-drinking political and environmental activism ( Read more... ) -
(Untitled)
that cruel flopsy eared bunny was sitting on our front porch right outside the window for about fifteen minutes notwithstanding pepper's continuous and dramatic barking that woke me up kind of like her ridiculously loud snoring at about 3:30 this morning. im home now, and what used to be my block has transformed in my absence into a pretty ( Read more... )
