Month: September 2011

should i start only blogging with my LOMO camera i just got

it’s funny this cool magazine or whatever sent me camera so i would shoot film for them and send back to them and i dont know even how to load film, seriously

it didnt come with instructions just a book that was like “take photos of cute strangers” and “take photos of your food” and i was like DUH

take photos of protesting
or as avery said: Free petting zoo on Wall St. if you like pigs and sheep. #occupywallst

TWITTER

so this post is kinda about avery

i took him to see his favourite band as a goodbye before he leaves NYC

this is just the opening hippie

i had no experience with ends before patrick i guess because i never really loved someone before that and things END???? i found out abruptly one day two decembers ago
why do things have to END it just seems so shitty

it’s like when they turn the lights on at closing time and you’re like

SHIT its 4am already? i have to go home? can i please just stay a LITTLE longer

the Swans made a nice goodbye before his trip

they didnt play the song that i remembered from Avery playing it over and over over the past year and a half but it’s ok because it’s the song that goes like I’M BETTER THAN YOU over and over

even though their drummer looks like a Fun Guy

i’m surprised avery hasn’t tweeted about Shoe Gays before

play this if you have lotsa browser windows open and you will feel the way i felt
i know nothing

SWANS

now look at this bad tattoo to break that spell

and May’s urban turban

and hugs

i just finished another Ballsack book

it’s funny to read french novels in translation

it sounds so exciting in english

“Monseiur Grandlieu crossing Le Pont Neuf at midnight”

but in english that would just be
Mr Big Place crossing Bridge Number 9

The characters all have these names that when translated are like
Mr Untrustworthy Fox
Miss Sweetness and Light
Doctor Nonsense

who do they think they are fooling?

this fooled me, i thought it was a smooshed rat

at Alex’s house

awesome

awesome!

i have been sick like almost everyone the past few days
oh we frail human flesh envelopes!
ten degrees change in temp and we all get colds!

May and Hector are warm

Abby and Sebastian came to hang out and were sad when i had to go out on the town insteada home with them to watch movies

out on the town!
we are at Lincoln Center watching chinese opera

Beijing Opera, “National Treasure”

this first one was the taking of Yangdong Mountain or something like that
the first time this 5th century opera was performed in US!

this one was called “The Drunk-Ass Concubine” or something like that

the Emperor picks another concubine to fuck insteada this chick

so she gest wasted

there were lots of very difficult movements involved

nice to know that getting wasted as a response to sexual rejection is universal

the third one we kinda missed the intro and were super confused

it looks really strange

hoo ha!

this one was about the underworld and some daughter getting married?

the finale

look at all these freaks!
just kidding
they all look awesome

it was so fun to see something so totally different in all ways

instruments and structure and rhyth and tone and outfit and

make up and

i had a fucking blast
thanks Kris and Jimmy Choo!

made us want chinese food

wish you could see all of Kris’ awesome outfit
