last sunday
From the window of a train tearing through inky Nowheresville, WA;
At twilight, past the marina I swear to god I saw an infant-sized rowboat, bobbing down the river.
It was empty but for a little blue oar

more light and sound
We learned about what love is from the movies. Maybe we didn't know anybody back then, worth loving that way except in movies. Maybe that's just what girls like us do.
Tragic Celebrity News
You guys,
I try not to dwell on celebrity gossip too much since there are so many more important issues we could be focusing on, like Weebuls, and where to get them, and different kinds of Weebuls we had, and how fucked up the whale Weebul is, and whether it's better than the shark Weebul, but this was too important to ignore.
I am very sorry to have to tell you that Amy Winhouse has dieted so hard that she is now only a head with no body.
Now that her singing/tottering career is over she is trying to get a job at the Enchanted Forest.

stardust...
Movies are light and sound. And that’s all… really…
Light permeates and hugs the universe sculpting things for us to see… Sound fills the space and squeezes itself between the objects; it oscillates around the light while they slowly blend together... married.
Stardust is pretty and funny.
It’s like if Monty Python’s Holy Grail was a beautiful painting. We hold our breath while swimming through pictures coming up only to laugh.
This film shows all of the extremes of detail that most films take for granted or tend to ignore. The brights are so very bright while the darks are so very dark. It punches you in the face with boldness leaving you exhausted, but wanting more. What Stardust lacks is gratuity, the effects are not overbearing and obvious, they absorb reality. Where Transformers shoves it’s cock down your throat… Stardust only begins to flirt, touching your shoulder and kissing your cheek and leaving you hanging with your eyes closed... about to collapse.
You do not see the violent extremes either and instead they are left to your imagination. You leave this film hoping it loves you back.
It reminds me of… Watcher in the Woods, Something Wicked this Way Comes, Terry Gilliam, Princess Bride (obviously)… and of all things… It is a long version of the best scene of Harry Potter and the Order of the Phoenix.
When used correctly, light and sound together reveal to us that the universe does not need to be seen in order to be understood.

brand new key
Okay so... I was having breakfast with my roommate and we were walking back to the car. And I couldn't find my keys... and she was like... "You need one of those round pom poms on your keys so you can find them in your purse."
And I asked... "Like the ones that go on roller skates?"
And then this came to mind:
I got a brand new pair of roller skates
You got a brand new key
I think that we should get together and try them out you see
And then this...
And so I got to the computer and was looking up photos of those things and was going to say that Melanie was singing about Pom Poms and not about sex at all.... but... I got distracted remembering something.
When I was in catholic elementary school, once a year there would be this "presentation" this loud man would come to the cafeteria stage and he had lots of lights and prizes and he would get everyone pumped up. He also had a very large glass box that you go in and money blows around you and you grab at it and try to get as much as you can in one minute... Kids that got to go in the money box were lucky enough to be rich forever...
The most that any kid ever got was like $100.00 but man! $100.00!! I could really use $100 right now.....
So this loud man... who is like Ben Stiller in the movie Heavyweights... his goal was convince a room of 300 first graders to work for free selling magazines to adults.
We were magazine selling MACHINES!
Whenever you sold a certain number of magazines, you got one of these:
It’s called a WEEPUL.
The more magazines you sold the more you got...and each year had a theme. One year the theme was music; another year it was wildlife...
This stupid shit sent my catholic elementary school into a total and complete frenzy.
There were fistfights over WEEPULS.
BUT If you worked hard enough and needed little fluffy friends bad enough... for one week... you were the coolest kid in school....

the revolutionary costume
When I put on 4 inch heels this morning I didn't know there was going to be a work party that involved my boss pouring whiskey into my teacup multiple times because the store was "out of champagne". He tells weird lies like this all the time. The store was out of champagne? Really? Ok, let's drink whiskey then.
Totter totter wheee!
Totter totter wheee!
