angora

can we just look at bunny pictures today? who knew angora rabbits were so CUTE?




on missing the last 10 spin classes:

just get back on the bike and fuck 'em all.

tuesdaydream

i had a dream that i was helping liz pick out her outfits, because she looked terrible in all the paparazzi shots of her in 2009.
and i also got a 98 dollar ticket for jumping lanes in front of a police man, while i was driving the miata.
apparently it was my 2nd ticket, and i started getting really stressed out about money, and upset that all of my extra cash had to go towards extra mistakes.

to i guess i need to be a little careful when i'm driving around over the next few months, while i am finishing the final payments on one of my loans.

paying off loans is a bummer. but its funny how quickly we forget about them once the payment is gone.

thevalley

i spent my weekend in the valley of los angeles.

weed urine organize
exstacy vomit cigarette
red heart tattoo
viper kyuss metal
venice sand waiting

silence on the other end
silence on the other end
silence on the other end

clean clean clean

let me do your eyes like that one movie star
clara bow?
yeah. lets do your eyes like clara bow.
sit. brush. soft. breathe.

whoa. that looks vampy & piercing.

stop stop stop
forever forever forever

it'd be almost too perfect

someone should really wear this marchesa to the oscars.



***update! the oscar winner wore this dress. three cheers to sandra bullock for wearing the perfect dress.

fall 2010 favorites so far





its true

i'm always messing up.

i'm constantly making an ass out of myself.

haircut

2dreams

whoa whoa whoaaaaaaaaaaa. i just remembered my dream.

anderson cooper was hanging out with me. wha? well not really. he was just around. and i was talking about this guy who was hot, a news anchor.

wait a sec. i had incredible dreams last night.

there was this guy that had been jailed for a very long time for breaking an entering at a cathedral. he finally escaped. at this point in his life he had wasted into slimy troll - but had the stamina to climb stairs?

so he escapes back into the cathedral and tries to climb to the top. he makes it past the guards and is still climbing climbing climbing. i woke up when he was at a section of the cathedral devoted to modern-day successful people.

anyway. anderson cooper was hanging, and i was talking to this 8 year old telling her about how hot this certain news anchor was, and that he also had a really hot mother. anderson just kind of looked at me.

and then we all sat down on the couch together, and watched the news.

wokework

i woke up this morning 100% happy about my little life & job & love. i woke up feeling like everything is in its right place, right now.

things dont work out - for a right place.
things work out - for a right place.
its all the right place.

this is going to lead to something else that leads to something else.

it all clearly made sense to me. it felt small, and special, and fun.

and then the moment passed, and i got in line to take a shower.

laying

thinking about valentines day. and thinking about things you talk about when you are laying in bed with someone.

this sort of hits home right now.

rearwindow


last night was rear window. loved a comment someone made in the special features about identity. he said jb grabbed for his camera flash as a means to protect himself. the only way he knew how. with his identity. that ended up only delaying the inevitable.

scorpio


i had a dream the other night that there was a scorpion on my bed.

dial m



loved the opening scene in dial m for murder. i'm finally getting to the more popular hitchcocks. so anyway, loved the opening scene, and loved the guilty color sequence.

change in plans

why am i completely OK with running away as fast as i can?

i don't want anything with this person.

its proximity. thats all it is. a weekend without will do me good.

oh look at that blueberry scone

do you mind if i sleep here?
i like your company

sleep
hand rest hip
head rest shoulder
feet rest feet
breathe listen
listen breathe
big breath!
tiny breath.
face nose face
knee thigh knee
breathe listen breathe
smile cheeks hurt

hours pass

hours pass

coffee vanilla
almond blueberry
crumbs drops
papers music
walk drive bike
air wind hair

we ooze modesty.

stage fright - hitchcock

"every time i'm beginning to think i know what color your eyes are, you disappear."

new mix

a cute boy made me a mix. yippee. its been fun and weird and sweet and kind and akward and quiet and simple and complex.

anyway, track one is:

And you are no longer a river to me
And you are no longer a river to me
Though your coursing remain eager to acquaint me
And you are no longer a docile stream
And you are no longer a docile stream
Though your patience proves you into ease

And once this spark met kindling
Forgets its gentle ambling
Becoming heat, becoming steam
Becoming luminescent glee
Atoms splinter, sparkling
Alive and nimble symmetry
And all along, this glistening
Blankets we and everything
Shadows dance triumphantly
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas
Little deaths envelope thee
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three
You and I and a flame make three

And you are not glassy bay to me
And you are not glassy bay to me
Though my tired fleet abides in your gentle breeze
And you are now vast and open sea
And my mind travels you endlessly
And you beckon, toss and toss and swallow me

And once this spark met kindling
Forgets its gentle ambling
Becoming heat, becoming steam
Becoming luminescent glee
Atoms splinter, sparkling
Alive and nimble symmetry
And all along, this glistening
Blankets we and everything
Shadows dance triumphantly
A wordless whisper sighs and pleas
Little deaths envelope thee
You and I and a flame makes three

under capicorn

me & ingrid bergman all holed up and sick in bed.

another hitchcock movie with ingrid bergman all holed up in her bed, getting poisoned by a jealous woman.

LOL.

two weeks - grizzly bear



Save up all the days
A routine malaise
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

Think of all the ways
Momentary phase
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Every time you try
Quarter half the mile
Just like yesterday
I told you I would stay

Would you always
Maybe sometimes
Make it easy
Take your time

so many colors that surround you.



stay forever by ween

In the morning sun, I couldn't tell you
I couldn't tell you so many things
About how much I really love you
About how much you really mean

So far away, but it's so easy to see you
When I'm away I want to put my arms around you
And I want to know, do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
And I want to know, do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
With you

So many colors that surround you
Some so bright I can hardly see
A light reflects on all the things that make you real
Things that make you truly free

So far away, but it's so easy to see you
When I'm away I want to put my arms around you
And I want to know, do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
And I want to know, do you feel the same way?
'Cause if you do I want to stay forever
With you

notorius 1946

i'm up to notorious. hitchcock keeps getting better!

what a scene-

ready able. love it.

http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=Puph1hejMQE

I’m gonna take a stab at this
Surely we’ll be alright
Make a decision with a kiss
Maybe I have frostbite
And when I shuffled on back home
I made sure all my tracks in the snow were gone
Tissue and bone it was a tryst
This isn’t a gunfight
Checking it off of my list
Unable to write
Five years, countless months and a loan

Hope I’m ready, able to make my own, good home

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

::vocalizing::

They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did,
They go we go, I want you to know, what I did I did.

brandyhitchcock

they drink brandy in practically every alfred hitchcock movie.

i'm in my room writing.

yes. thats the difference between me and you.

you know when you watch 4 movies in one weekend, and you remember a scene, but you can't place it to the movie?

she poors alcohol into a potted plant.
was that crazy heart? no.
was that an education? no.
oh yeah, it was breakfast at tiffany's.

i realized, after watching breakfast at tiffany's years later, that i know a lot of girls that think or thought they were holly golightly. while i was watching the movie i was like "oh yeah, thats that girl. oh yeah, that friend. no wait, maybe she is a better match for her." blah blah.

waking

i dozed off today and woke up to this - it was so dreamy.

vertigo



last night i changed my room around, and to celebrate, watched vertigo for the first time.

it was so nice, that i decided to spend the winter in my room, watching alfred hitchcock movies in the order in which they were made.

it didn't make any sense that scotty would fall in love with madeline/judy.

this is a cool site that helped break it down for me.

color symbolism in vertigo

i connected most with the midge character. i like midge. and i like that name.

love game



its funny how the beginning of the love game is all about restraint. well, at least when you are playing games. i'm trying to open myself and make it more about just love. instead of the game.

the game makes it fun. the game makes it fun? well, the game makes it prolonged. which is nice. but how long is prolonged? i'm over the game. i'm ready to dive in and just love already.

snapped

he kind of snapped at me today. he told me something that he doesnt remember telling me, and i brought it up, and now i have him asking me "did i tell you that?"

it makes me feel this big. ()

and it also makes me totally not want to be around him. which is actually a good thing, because...... apparently he is a douchey non-remembering drunk.

and there you have it.

"be here now" type shit

its all about the "be here now" type shit.

i find myself saying that a lot.

you are typing

you are reading

you are eating a burrito

you are burning cds

you are there. and there. and there. and here.

you are now.

breathe in. breathe out a couple beats longer than the in.

breathe out. and out and out until you can no longer breathe out!!! whew. ok. breathe in.

be here now type shit.

this in that. that in this

today? very productive.

i've had a few ideas just floating around in my head. i sleep on them, i spin on them, i eat on them, i zone out on them.

finally i wrote them down!

so they are not in full process.

main goal for the next year? TO BE PUBLISHED.

i will be published. photographically speaking, of course.

second main ongoing goal? TO HAVE A GALLERY SHOW.

i will have a gallery show. photographically speaking, of course.

other than that, i've been filling my time with burning all of my music onto my hard drive.

sounds hot?

it is really hot.
im looking for a hot dorky hermit, that has life experience, but little to no relationship experience.

mtg

a 10yr old kid walked by me at work, carrying a plate of cookies.

where are you going with those cookies?

to the meeting downstairs about how to deal with my feelings of hate.

oh. ok.

madmen

Today, i am obsessed with early 60's advertising & design.

this vw bug ad is where its at.

anie&sean


got married today. it was a very sweet ceremony of about 5 people. anie read sean the sweetest poem by bill collins called Litany. it goes like this:

Litany
by Billy Collins

You are the bread and the knife,
The crystal goblet and the wine...
—Jacques Crickillon


You are the bread and the knife,
the crystal goblet and the wine.
You are the dew on the morning grass
and the burning wheel of the sun.
You are the white apron of the baker,
and the marsh birds suddenly in flight.

However, you are not the wind in the orchard,
the plums on the counter,
or the house of cards.
And you are certainly not the pine-scented air.
There is just no way that you are the pine-scented air.

It is possible that you are the fish under the bridge,
maybe even the pigeon on the general's head,
but you are not even close
to being the field of cornflowers at dusk.

And a quick look in the mirror will show
that you are neither the boots in the corner
nor the boat asleep in its boathouse.

It might interest you to know,
speaking of the plentiful imagery of the world,
that I am the sound of rain on the roof.

I also happen to be the shooting star,
the evening paper blowing down an alley
and the basket of chestnuts on the kitchen table.

I am also the moon in the trees
and the blind woman's tea cup.
But don't worry, I'm not the bread and the knife.

You are still the bread and the knife.
You will always be the bread and the knife,
not to mention the crystal goblet and—somehow—the wine.

barefoot

andy rooney just said "and of all the things I miss, I don't go barefoot in the summer anymore."

Makes me think about how my childhood doctor - dr. Russell - once told my mom that if my feet had a tendency to be sweaty - then i should just not wear shoes.

so i didn't any chance i got, i'd be barefoot. well into high school, i'd get home, take off my shoes, and walk to my friends houses... barefoot. other mothers would gasp - telling me to go home and put on my shoes. i would just reply "doctors orders".

i miss those simple solutions and explanations. just kind of like a small miss. a random miss. like something i may tell my grandchildren some day.

Dont Do That by Stephen Dunn

i met him once. but i cant really remember how or when or why......


It was bring-your-own if you wanted anything; Whiskey; Bottles; Johnnie Walker Red; Parties; Drinking; Dogs It was bring-your-own if you wanted anything
hard, so I brought Johnnie Walker Red
along with some resentment I’d held in
for a few weeks, which was not helped
by the sight of little nameless things
pierced with toothpicks on the tables,
or by talk that promised to be nothing
if not small. But I’d consented to come,
and I knew what part of the house
their animals would be sequestered,
whose company I loved. What else can I say,


except that old retainer of slights and wrongs,
that bad boy I hadn’t quite outgrown—
I’d brought him along, too. I was out
to cultivate a mood. My hosts greeted me,
but did not ask about my soul, which was when
I was invited by Johnnie Walker Red
to find the right kind of glass, and pour.
I toasted the air. I said hello to the wall,
then walked past a group of women
dressed to be seen, undressing them
one by one, and went up the stairs to where


the Rottweilers were, Rosie and Tom,
and got down with them on all fours.
They licked the face I offered them,
and I proceeded to slick back my hair
with their saliva, and before long
I felt like a wild thing, ready to mess up
the party, scarf the hors d’oeuvres.
But the dogs said, No, don’t do that,
calm down, after a while they open the door
and let you out, they pet your head, and everything
you might have held against them is gone,
and you’re good friends again. Stay, they said.

can'tsleep

when you have insomnia, it really is like being stuck with yourself. like in a small prison. you are already with yourself all day - its nice to look forward to the night "break" where you can escape to dreamworld. fantasy. easy. black. light. sleep. awake.

anyway, laying there at 3am trying to stay happy because its the start of a new day, but trying to get back to sleep because you are not yet ready to start said new day........

thats what insomnia is like. ladeedah like. hohumlike. puzzling.

how homosexual was benjamin button. so gay.

so anyway, i am so happy tonight. my life has become me biking home, driking a bottle of cab, watching keith oberman, and dancingto 50 cent on the commerical breaks.

yet, there is a part that is still misisng. it really doesn’t add up. its great. nothing adding up. its just splendid.

just felt like reporting on my status.

sebastosmell

its cute how sabastopol smells like patuoli oil.

i can’t wait to stare at my farmer tomorrow. and for him to stare at me. i love it. i’ve been waiting all week for this.

not that much travelling. I was on unemployment the bulk of the year, and then i didn’t travel for the past 3 months because I had just gotten the job.

marin comment

a quip told to me by carolyn during an after dinner walk around a random boat yard/pier in tiburon:

a woman spilled a bunch of red wine in trader joes the other day.

i didn’t mind it much, and at the checkout said “well it actually smells rather nice.”

the man behind me said “it was a good year.”

these little things make me love this area.

dancing around to -

She don’t believe in shooting stars
But she believes in shoes and cars
Wood floors in a new apartment
Couture from the store’s departments

You more like ‘love to start shit’
I’m more of the
Trips to Florida
Order the hor douvres, view of the water
Straight from a page of your favorite author

And the weather’s so breezy
Man, why can’t life always be this easy?
She in the mirror dancing so sleazy
I get a call like ‘Where are you, geezy?’

And try to hit you with the Ol-Wu-Wopte
Till I got flashed by the paparazzi
Damn, these niggas got me
I hate these niggas more than a Nazi

As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
But what do I know?
(Flashing lights)
What do I know?

I know it’s been a while, sweetheart
We hardly talked
I was doing my thing

I know it was foul baby
Ay, babe, lately you been all on my brain

And if somebody woulda told me a month ago Frontin’ though
Yo, I wouldn’t wanna know

If somebody woulda told me a year ago it’ll go
get this difficult

Feeling like Katrina with no FEMA
Like Martin with no Gina
Like a flight with no visa
FIrst class with the seat back I still see ya

In my past you on the other side of the glass
Of my memory’s museum

I’m just saying, hey Mona Lisa
Come home you know you can’t Rome without Caesar

As I recall, I know you love to show off
But I never thought that you would take it this far
What do I know?
