I DON'T Love you, (ASS) Man

I tried watching I Love You, Man (2009). Even on a peripheral level of attention in the studio today, this movie made me ornery. You might say, "Why?". This is because I needed something dumb on to distract me from my inner-angst, and it still failed at its purpose. This Paul Rudd, Judd Apatow-branded, mediocre-fest failed me and humanity. There has to be a word out there for work that is so mediocre it makes you want to take stab a screwdriver into my pillow. No, face.
How about "over-ocred"? Well, let me know if you think of something better.

I've decided that this Apatow brand is consistently sexist on a weird level towards it female characters and relies on the same kind of gags to distract its audience from its safe, conservative constraints. Namely, gags that involve vomiting, explicit sex jokes, and farts. They're playing for the middle, but the middle sucks. So hard.

I've been super into the so-called 'dark wave' movement of the early 80s. You know, music that's kinda gothy and new-wavey.

The blog KICK TO KILL, fast becoming my favorite music blog of ALL TIME, has lately been posting gems like the below and they've been in repeat x1000. The blog posts Errol Morris shorts, black metal, modern classical, noise, you name it.



Anyway——OTO

I cannot tell if anyone is downloading the music I post on here anymore, as divshare has made a mess out of the counter thingy so let me know if this is all for not because it takes too much time to post music on here.

I always enjoy hearing artists of all stripes talking about how they grew into themselves.

Here's a good and lengthy interview with George Carlin about his early days.

Happy belated 9/11 (It took me a week to write this)

I hate anniversaries. Especially on days commemorating mass murder and destruction of massive buildings in NYC. Anyone who lived through that day will never forget it (insert crying eagle here.) and will always ask others where they were the moment they found out that USA was under attack.

On 9/11, 2001, at about 9am, I had just sauntered into work at HarperCollins Publishers on 6th Avenue and 65th St. Upon passing the board room, I noticed people were huddled around the TV watching a movie. I thought that was weird since I didn't understand why people were so brazen as to watch an action movie in plain sight of their supervisors. But nay, soon I realized it was the WTC building on fire. My next thought was "Oops." I assumed some idiot flew a small plane into the building accidentally. I shrugged, then slunk into my office to work my mouth on the blueberry muffin and coffee I had purchased at the bodega across the street. But soon my curiosity got the best of me. My muffin and coffee had been consumed. I joined the rest of my workers to watch the drama on the news. About two minutes into watching the WTC on fire, another plane hit the other tower. Almost in unison, everyone said "Holy Shit". Then we all knew. Especially when the TV cut to the Pentagon on fire. If my jaw could have detached itself I would have let it drop to the floor, no problem. When I saw the first building crumble to the ground, I truly thought I was seeing the impossible take place. It was as if I had become pregnant. It didn't make sense.

I eventually walked home from mid-town to Queens with my co-worker Meg Areneo. I remember shuffling with the herd across the Queens bridge with thousands of others, some covered head to toe in soot and dust, everyone in a complete daze. I took a picture of the smoke in the distance but I lost the picture accidentally when I disposed of the PC that stored it upon moving back to L.A.

Happy 9/11 everyone!*

Public Option Info

Like you, I pay more ducats for my health costs than I should by any reasonable standard——and it's bare-bones coverage. Eespecially since I have been unemployed for a year, and I am frequently dependent on health care, this has been even less fun to deal with than ever. Pass this on to everyone you know.

With the right's yammering about 'death panels' and 'socialism' like it was the bubonic plague itself, people need to know what the reforms actually are, which are OPTIONS, plain and simple!!! Sorry, but most people out there are manipulatable idiots and with all the fear mongering, it only makes it worse. Pass it on.

As said above: Go HERE. Blesses.
