with love and cornrows

is that the one with the fat lady in it?

She's really fat, and she's all like, my brother was on leave from the war eating Hershey's Special Dark, which gave him acne, and he symbolized all that went wrong in our precocious WASP family, and he eroticized this brainy nonexistent little 13 year old in a story he wrote before he moved to rural New Hampshire and invested in real estate and opened a gas station.

He self-published a book called "NaturalBush39."

lol

no idea what bamcquern is talking about

JD Salinger

It's a perfect day for bamcquernfish.
(xp)

Apparently the og person is a real person. By which I mean famous.

Is I know, right? the same as plaxico?

oh i get it now

Harbl's been reading law books while I've been watching Gilmore Girls.

what does gilmore girls have to do with it? i get more confused with every one of your posts, bam

I know nothing about gilmore girls, except that it's a tv show that features attractive women.

i watched it once for like 2 minutes and became really annoyed iirc

Enjoy this amusing initial thread period with Salinger and Gilmore Girls derails while you can, harbl.

Gilmore Girls is as twee and cute as a prime time network soap opera gets, I think.

That is just describing it for the uninitiated.

It's like saying, Enjoy your small teenage high school problems while you can, but on a briefer scale of time.

i think i saw pictures of it a few times - they wear adorable matching sweater sets, right?

Who's heard that new Miley single? I heard most of it twice this weekend. And then I saw a movie with a "Noah Cyrus," who I suspect is Miley's little sister. Billy building an empire.

who would name a girl, Noah?

http://www.noasmusic.com/index.asp

that's Noa, not with an "h" - I know of another woman named Noa.

They probably do that. The writers shoehorned a lot of allusions into the scripts to flatter the viewers' intelligences, and some choose to feel flattered and some choose to feel insulted. And you pretty much always hated the younger Gilmore's boyfriend, but the rough-and-tumble no-nonsense dude the older one dated off and on forever you sort of liked.

I don't know, but the credits said Noah played the girl. I thought it was the boy the whole rest of the time. It was Ponyo, last night. Movie by myself (fake ;_;).

I wish I could do cryptic crosswords. I have crossword brain envy. Or wordplay brain envy.

that's weird - Noah is a girl - she kinda looks like a cabbage patch doll

LOL!!!!

You know that slightly tourette's-y part inside of you that makes you want to say and do things you shouldn't? Just thinking about that.

you could re-read the "impz in your brain" thread.

Or read it once.

or search for l0u1s j@gger posts

Quieting the Imps in Your Brainz

Haha. I said stupid things like him when I was young. Now I say them, but say them less.

I still write stupid, embarrassing, semi-literate emails to people from time to time.

^^ same here.

Especially to famous people, music critics and ex-girlfriends. They're kind of all famous to me, so I get nervous and dumb.

My compulsive thoughts used to be really bad, like around age 18 to 21, and I remember hanging out with my friend Amy and trying to discuss it. Like, instead of saying to her, who I didn't fancy at all, that sometimes I had a compulsive thought about having sex with her, I said something about having sex with a tree.

the first time I "met" Jell0 B1afra, I was doing stupid dance moves with my friend. The band that was playing was kinda boring, and we decided that what they lacked were funny dance moves. I think I said something to that effect to him, and he said, "They need something."

I sort of really like that going up and rushing down feeling of asking someone out, but I haven't done that in a few years. I like the positive outcomes of overcoming my fears of saying things aloud.

I wonder if famous people understand.

"I really like you, you act normal around me, who is famous."

v.

"I could really like you if you would act normal around me, who is famous, for one minute."

I wonder if attractive people understand.

xxxxp - totally. I've been really reticent to ask people to play music w/me, but now I'm all about asking and trying to get past that fear of rejection.

Did you love Jello at the time?

Now that I've gone back to school, whenever we have groups I very often take charge.

I think famous and attractive people probably also get nervous and weird about other attractive and famous people.

xxp - I was over being a huge fan, but still - I was a big fan in hs.

18:37] Heave Ho: i get persistent visions of people fouling their clothes
[18:38] Heave Ho: though that is prolly not what you're talking about
[18:39] Me: how do you mean?
[18:39] Heave Ho: when i'm talking to them
[18:39] Heave Ho: i imagine that they are incontinent
[18:39] ME: hahahaha ok
[18:39] ME: that's funny
[18:40] Heave Ho: mostly when i've not had a good nights sleep
[18:40] Heave Ho: gtg bye

So I was going to write a story, and still might, about a guy who is always imagining tanks falling on everything.

And then for some reason I recently read about Sartre seeing crabs/lobsters around him all the time.

tanks like water tanks or tanks like military tanks?

Famous and attractive successful people might get where they are partly from getting over their fears of talking to people, and being able to talk normal.

Military tanks. Water tanks would be pretty funny. Reminding me right now of a Spider-Man ish I had when I was a kid where Spider-Man dies and meets Thanatos and comes back to life.

By the way:

"gtg bye"

making me laugh.

The Real Heave Ho

harbl is so missing us right now. She wants to curl up with us on the couch and watch a DVD of a popular TV show.

I remember getting weirded out and nervous around some semi-famous musician a number of years ago, and Milton Parker was there, and he said something that I keep reminding myself of whenever I'm in that situation, "They're just people."

Had the impulse to lick a guy's hand on the T again recently but was luckily able to suppress it.

xp - when lj got banned, it was like this tv show i got accustomed to watching went off the air and totally disrupted my escapist entertainment routine.

I think that, too, but not about famous people, since I don't meet famous people. Still, even in recent memory I have acted very weird and quiet around regular folks.

Hmm at Erica.

Still, even in recent memory I have acted very weird and quiet around regular folks.

I do that too sometimes - though I had no shame in asking random strangers about whether they were foot flushers because I was on a valuable research mission.

Oh, yeah. A sense of purpose conquers a lot. And it's so different between talking to someone attractive and talking to someone attractive and really smart. The second one melts me down into my original parts.

that's cute

i don't really know what's going on on this thread, but i feel bad for being a dick to louis on that impz thread.

i don't get it!

Haha. Harbl I would do dinner club with you and try not to confuse.

i want a couch and a tv though

It's about pop phenom Esmee Denters, by the way.

xp ian - he seems like a pretty forgiving guy

or i want to sit on someone else's couch and watch his or her tv, that would be good enough

Yes!

lj = nice guy

maybe when the bf moves out in a few months i'll get cable

i don't think i'll ever have cable again

and I can be like Jane Wyman at the end of All that Heaven Allows - alone with only television to keep me company

I've gotten over my cable news habit and even a bit of my tcm habit. I could just keep renting Eric Rohmer movies from the library, and when I finish them all I bet I'd have found something new.

So what's up with WATCHING?

And then, have you ever thought about all the things humans could possibly agree to do when you're all asking each other, What do you want to do?

you could rent every movie with mutant/irradiated animals attacking things

I mean, you can play a board game. You can start a dance party. You can make food to eat. You can wait for a conversation to gain traction. You can watch a movie. You can go for a drive, or a walk, or a bike ride. You can do it. You can play dress up.

xpost I would not get through more than two. The appeal of Rohmer is that the stories are about people, and mutant/irradiated animals just aren't that.

You can sort the objects in a room by color. You can make collages. You can have hypothetical "Who would beat who in a fight" arguments.

I have for some time wanted to open a record store where all of the records are organized by color.

there was an art installation at a bookstore in SF a while back, where the artist organized all the books in the bookstore by color.

Bookstore employees grumbling. Which store, by the way?

It was in May.

Adobe Books. It's a used bookstore in the Mission that has an art gallery in back where a lot of relatively "big deal" local artists show/have shown.

Oh, they're more or less my favorite. Last time I went was a bit like pulling teeth, and I found more at Green Apple, but still.

yeah, it's a cool spot. I like Dog Eared Books, but Moe's in Berkeley is probably the best in the Bay Area.

Dog-Eared, I think that's the one with the woman who hadn't heard of Chester Himes, but liked the babe on the cover, and they have a test for the application process that I'm sure I didn't do well enough on, and a decent zine section.

Spent like only six on-off days in Berkeley.

Now I don't get this thread.

yes - decent zine section - that's Dog-Eared. A friend of mine worked there recently, I think.

But back on the subject of saying dumb things in front of famous people - a while back I was at a concert where Fr3d Fr1th was playing, and he was talking about some local musician that didn't like him, and I made up a dopey country ballad about it, and he thought it was funny. </suzy>

Suzy'd pepper that with some anglicized latin and wonky syntax.

Havin a chocolate.

And really have to start dinner, too.

xp - I try to keep my namedropping anecdotes as grammatically simple as possible.

I have written weird emails to Jad Fair and Robbie Fields who started Posh Boy. Robbie Fields emailed me first, but I weirded him out first. Jad Fair was polite, but brief.

Semi-famous blogger from j3z3b3l.c0m asked me who I was and alluded to her alcoholism. I appreciate that kind of frankness.

Sent a totally WHACKED email to St3ph3n Ell10t.

Sent one to pitchfork once about five years ago that was basically, "You reviewed these two records by this one band, and the better record got a lower score. You shouldn't do that in the future."

You must've been playing that night on the same stage as Fr3d Fr1th?

Robbie Fields who started Posh Boy. Robbie Fields emailed me first, but I weirded him out first.

I had to look him up - weird, I remember liking/having records by a bunch of bands on that label, mostly the novelty-type acts.

You must've been playing that night on the same stage as Fr3d Fr1th?

No, it was outside the venue. He was talking with one of his bandmates.

Yeah, the novelty new wave acts were the best, but I also like some of the Simpletones, some of the Crowd, and Rik L Rik's acoustic version of "The Meathouse."

I had almost forgotten about the Nuns until I looked up Robbie Fields.

I like playing "All Shook Up" from Music for Teenage Sex during DJ sets. No one ever dances. I think I argued once with my friend Kurt about whether there was even a danceable beat in it, and I was saying that it wasn't as if it were Esplendor Geometrico.

the show I played last night - was mostly a dance party with bands in between - and my friend - whose band it was - forbid me from playing anything close to a danceable beat, even though some of the songs as she'd originally written them were more beat-driven.

Hm. I would've played all of my underdog records that people should dance to but never do.

But obviously I'd have to know beforehand.

<-----shitty unloved DJ

I like how this thread has absolutely nothing to do with esmee denters

Oooh. I get it. You were playing drums.

Precisely.

It's almost like an ire thread in that respect.

The band was 2 clarinets, bassoon, electronics, and drums.

what the hell is going on here

Which I think is also in the spirit of 1p3, which is itself a manifestation of what certain people wish ilx would be.

Sounds like a good band.

We're talking about this singer Esmee Denters.

She's a cutie.

Got chops.

Gonna blow up.

and cornrows

Theresa how is your whole coast and life!

Tza - have you ever said or done dumb things in front of famous people?

i always try to shut up in front of famous people so i don't make an ass of myself but i never see them anymore!

bam my coast is awesome! my life could use a little more... employment and socialness... how are you?

Not crazy and depressed. Not having sinus (or whatever) headaches every day and night. Actually going out on weekends. Flirting with a couple of girls in town. Not stressed about school.

those are lots of positive negatives!

Yes!

awesome
http://kittybait.files.wordpress.com/2008/04/thumbs-up.jpg

That guy's happy for real.

Question: Would you hang out with him? I don't think I would.

i would require that a third party be present.

I think he would want to share his happiness with me via encouraging me to invest in some pyramid scheme.

Saw a short homely dude on TV this weekend trying to sell books and CDs about buying and selling real estate in a down market.

did he look happy?

happy to be homely

So can you look at a jpg or gif of an Olson with the thumbs up and the "You got it dude!" caption without laughing?

I can't.

i take my full house pretty seriously so... yeah.

this thread reads like the christopher durang stuff i used to love in middle school.

I laugh at an Olson jpg!

i was banned by Olson jpg

xpost OK, I've lingered at the Durang section at the library, so now I'm going to check something out.

hahah. That would hurt to laugh at that. I bet getting banned feels like your friends in middle school saying they don't want to hang out with you anymore.

You cannot tell what Muriel's Wedding is going to be like from the video box.

xp - i had asked to be banned.

haven't read him in years. i wonder if i would still like it or if my dramatic reading since then would make me hate it.
xpost

I missed about 15 minutes in the middle of Muriel's Wedding, because I was the projectionist, and one of the reels was so stiff it wasn't taking up the film, and I spent that time trying to get the film off the floor and back onto the reel.

Your dramatic reading?

i mean my reading of plays, not the speech and debate stuff i did in high school.

I liked it. I liked the photography and how the characters were written and the ABBA and a lot of things. I really don't have a high bar for liking a movie. Integrity and not insulting me is almost enough.

Hmm. I only started reading plays last October. One year of reading plays. Lots of them, really.

xp - i remember very little about it, except that it was kinda endearing and the projection problems.

http://img203.imageshack.us/img203/1578/upsidedownburglar794627.jpg

sometimes i think i like to read plays more than watch them, especially albee.
but i really have not read that much. i took a long hiatus from reading plays after high school and did not really resume until grad school when i had to read them super fast and it kind of made me hate everything.

i remember doing a dramatic reading of a scene from Who's Afraid of Virginia Woolf in college w/my soon-to-be-ex boyfriend at the time. In some ways, my life has these recurring patterns.

When did that reading to real life pattern reoccur?

Sometimes people just go to bed.

xp - seeing Lars von Trier movies about vindictive crazy women w/bf during break ups

My favorite song this year might be Esmee Denters feat. Justin Timberlake - Casanova

sorry back to cornrows

god
