So I’ve been looking around for things to cheer me up. Here are two of them.
the first is my friend T., his wife Kiyoko, and his baby Takeo-chan here:
The second is this band, Stephanie’s ID. Just some kids in Asheville, NC making music – great garage music - instead of trying to make celebrity industry vampire music, eventually to be glued to some monster and useless product to make the joyless little suicide of a life enjoyed by the viewing audience that much more cluttered. This band is pure, and I love the voice of this woman, Stephanie Morgan.
hey. “Is it tough making enough love?” Yeah, it’s rough, people. You gotta sleep some. i love this song. & we love Takeo-chan!
ReplyDeleteso the other day i order The Last Mimzy on cable. after fiddling w/ the rewind button (cuz i have to get my snack) come back & get this error message. it can't send me the video anymore. i broke it! dropped the tv months ago (luckily not on my foot) ripping out the cable cable & had to jerry-rig the prong thingy to the back of the tv (sorta like dealing with a gloveless dick). call the cable company & Nick finally tells me just as i ordered this movie On Demand decides to fritz out. cuz now i can't get ANYTHING On Demand. eventually it comes back, so yesterday i decide to watch Last Holiday w/ Queen Latifah. but this one's free. her character's name's "Georgia", which has been synchronistically popping up lately. now i know why.
you must really really be as sick as a dog eating chinese pet food. get well soon.
Ho ho - I just kept myself from writing a ps that said, North, you'll like this music! This woman has an amazing popsinging voice - she can belt and emote. And I love her earnest crew! I hope she comes to Austin. I've read enough of the bands you recommend in your posts to figure that you would like her.
ReplyDeleteMy botch of a microbial best friend and doppelgaenger nags me on a low level all day, but the only real damage it is doing to me is ruining my toddy time. I make myself the grapefruit juice margarita, I get it out all nicely chilled from the freezer, I down it, and up comes the stupid headache. This is no fair! And a waste of good tequilla.
Hey, I've never heard of this Last Mimzy, which is unsurprising, since I am so out of the loop lately on movies that I've become a film hick. Although I did get some Soviet film to watch tonight - I've been editing a paper on soviet film, hence the Russo-cino-philia.
is Timothy Hutton in it? i just realized he's in both movies i mentioned. hmm.
ReplyDeletegrapefruit juice margarita. i'd like one. y'know the best drink i ever had was at the Brown Derby. one of those drinks popular back then. bartender asked, what's in it? i tell him. so he mixes it up & puts it in front of me in a martini glass. can't remember the drink but i do remember it wasn't served in that kind of glass. it was perfect.
have you ever had an amaretto sour? those are yummy. sloe gin fizz too.
anyway, lately i get an immediate migraine whenever i drink anything alcoholic.
when i think of where you live i think you have a dark blue velvet couch. this is probably wrong. so don't tell me!
ah! i remember: it was a Kamikaze.
