started the day off with a joe sesh with timmy at the bean in seal. then i headed to my parents to drop off the tv i’ve been borrowing. sprague the leg met up with me there and helped me grab two sheets of plywood for my next little proj, as well as some pots and pans. i also found an old street sign that i’m going to use as the top to “on da left dayer fo frizzle?”. i still have to glue it all together, but it should be dope. heres some photos.

flea is going on a three week cruise around south america and to antarctica, so i stopped by henns to say my goodbye.
the corner of my room
and then i played with camera as i was falling asleep. i always fall asleep to music, but i had left my ipod in my car and i didn’t feel like running through hurricane katrina part dos to get it. so camera noodling filled the void.
got a couple new things the last couple days… thanks to aunt judy and uncle chuck for the free furnishings. i’ve got a lot to start painting. table, hutch, chairs, stuff. sweet.
and now i sit in front of my apt to smoke a cigarette every now and again. i even have an ash tray. this is exciting.
i’ve been looking for some new music for a bit here, and i had forgotten about pitchfork. stumbled across their list of top hundo songs of ohseven. check it out. thats where i stumbled across the battles song. and also this lcd song i had forgotten about.
i’ve tried very hard not to watch many movies in the past few years. perhaps its because i don’t have the attention span for them, or perhaps its because i’m convinced that watching movies is unproductive. i’m trying to convince myself that i’ve just been stupid. i rented three movies from blockbuster the other eve to watch by myself.
the first movie was CANDY directed by Neil Armfield.
a film of drugs, and obviously i love those movies. i will never do heroine. its a love story starring heath ledger and abbie cornish (hottie!). they are lovers that fall in love with eachother and fall into even more love, a deeper love, on heroine. it ends up destroying them and turning abbie’s character insane. heath’s character can’t come clean. its good. its australian. watch it.
next i watched BROKEN ENGLISH directed by Zoe Cassavetes.
stars parker posey. kinda hot. falls in love in new york with a parisian. ends up going to paris to find him. can’t. finds him right when she leaves. glorious. i love romances. see it.
finally i watched PARIS, JE T’AIME on erik brandt’s recommendation.
amazing. the best of the three for sure. i’m not even gonna go into detail. short films, all good, best directors in the world. watch.
i think i previously mentioned that i had a three day weekend this past one yonder. it was glorious/crazy/fun/hectic/adventurous/random/spendy/perfect. it began with friday being pretty mellow, chillaxin at my parents with my mum and her daycare kids and sis. was pretty productive, did a few things i had to do. soon after i met up with big willy and he helped me pick up my new table that i think i have a mild crush on. its like totally perfect. then matty c and coach met up with me at the henn house and we headed back to my place in pouring rain to drink a few beers and head over to the red room. got there and ran into este. fiesta’d. laughed. i had a tequila shot which was the worst thing i’ve done in awhile to myself. whiskey? forever. tequila? not unless i’m eating tacos and the tequila is mixed in with a plethora of margarita mix (aka i can’t taste the tequila). we all had a splendid time. can i say again that we laughed a lot? (i apologize for the shioty pictures… i think i had some wacked settings going on with me samsung).
friday night was mellow compared to the madness that was saturday. big willy’s bday celebration day. began at shorehouse in huntington. haven’t really done that one in a while, but it used to be commonplace. good friends, good times, and again, laughter galore. that followed by a glorious night that began at henns, came back to my place, went to the red room, and ended up staying up until i’m not sure when catching up with homeslice courtney. took me a minute to recover from this one, but my friends and i had a complete and utter blast. could not have asked for more. ps, homes the random photo sesh with the random girls. pps, hows mike in the background in some of em. LOVE IT!
found it on craigs. i want it. a little re-upholstery, a little paint, and i’d have myself an epi little table set up that can seat six so i can have classy dinners and stuff. entertainment!
so i have something very exciting going on this weekend… three consecutive days off of work. i haven’t really had this opportunity in a while, last time being the epi trip up to sf. i’m going to try to use the time in the most productive of ways. i created a kind of project for myself that i’m trying to brainstorm for already. in short, i’m going to wallpaper my entire living room with 8.5 inch x 8.5 inch “tiles” of colored paper that all have a photocopied image on them that will eventually line up. i know thats not a real sentence and is far too long, but screw you. i’m not sure how well this will pan out, but i’m chattering with some friends and trying to come up with the most logical way to make this happen without losing the integrity of the process. i’m hoping to incorporate illustrated paisley’s. heres a really rough sketch. hehe.
ps, if anyone sends me a hand-drawn paisley they came up with by tomorrow night (thursday night), i just might use it wink wink
went and saw dustin’s band play at the prospector and i was completely blown away. i haven’t been blown away like that in quite a few hot minutes. check em out.
next i went to the pike early on new years eve with big and coach prior to the fiesta at henns where i ended up working a smidge. i think all had fun.
