I'm asking everyone to please, please, just watch this movie. At the end, when the credits roll, take what you think you know, take what is in this movie, weigh the two, and then come to a conclusion.

Come to your own conclusion.

The world we live in is a ( Read more... )

Hey guys, long time no talk. It's me, Margaret, btw.

You remember that Skate shoe company, Savior? They made a bottle opener, fits right on your key-chain.  How funny, right?

After the break

Turns out I had nothing better to do, so I came back to talk with you guys. Who are you guys? I don’t know. I don’t know who reads this damn thing, if anybody does. I read it. And occasionally I’ll get comments that rarely have anything concordance with the text, so why the hell not? Maybe in a couple years I can look these ( Read more... )

The basement is entirely too cold. The walls are yellow from the nicotine, and our breath can be seen in the middle of the day. We have our couch, though, and our t.v., and were recently gifted with a dartboard that aged way, way, too fast, so it’s not all bad. Nothing piles of blankets can’t cure, that and cheap wine.

Hah, I got a new job, same ( Read more... )

Good news, New Year!

I'm on to your tricks.  All your little manipulations and twisted situations can't effect me any more. I have a plan this time.

I've seduced Lady Luck, and she's generous with her loving.

Taking the short cut from work leads me through the ghost town that is the Olympian Auto-mall after dark. A quick cut behind the school-nothing but lingering shadows and groping skeletal branches, that-and suddenly I’m standing in front of row after row after row of shiny new cars, crisp as fresh dollar bills.

Oh, fuck. Alone at night and you ( Read more... )

Yeah, Patt and I are moving back up to Sammamish on Dec. 15. I know I've laid out this whole scene before. Set up the background, hired some actors, whatever. But I'm serious this time.

…He was dreaming,

There was a stretch of sand, miles in length, littered with bits of shell and logs and the bodies of birds. To his left the sea sat in placid silence, without wave or sign of life. To his right a vast city, covered in vine.

but not asleep…

He walked, but did not move, the ground beneath his feet sliding past like ( Read more... )

Guitar Hero and myself have grown apart in the last few months, we see each other occasionally, sporadically, but it is no longer the burning passion it once was. We tried counseling, we saw a man named Dr. Theodore Stranglove, who, he assured us, could make us young lovers again, burgeoning forth like fresh love blossoms through the crusted snow ( Read more... )

Well, well, well. Lookit this, then. Here he sits. Where’s your smile gone, chipper? Don’t tell me a lady took it. I’d bet the stars says you’d never fall victim that way.

No. The smiles still here. You’re just not looking.

That the truth, is it? I look and look and am looking, chipper, but all I see is that crack under your nose lying ( Read more... )
