1. Some things I forgot on the 2008 list below:
- cardigans (which have clearly replaced blazers in my heart, sorry blazers, you were cute and snappy for a while but then I realized so many of you give me shoulders like a linebacker)
- Meryl Streep (who is consistently super)
- That time I finally saw Chris Leavins’ live show
- X-Files 2: If Only You’d Been Not Shitty, Then We Might Have Seen X-Files 3
2. David Lynch’s funny little book is sort of changing my life in a quiet way – I have to overlook some of the sketcy Transcendental Meditiation propaganda, and focus on the parts about not wearing Black Rubber Clown Suits of Negativity – because every night I read a few pages before I go to sleep and then I think about how David Lynch is such a hilarious crazy man with the best hair ever and how he invented Audrey Horne, my muse until the end of time, and how he made one of the two movies in which Nicholas Cage is inexplicably fucking hot, and how he’s so right in saying that to get in one good hour of really good creative activity you really need four hours and I feel happy and less guilty about how long it takes me to get anything done and then I wake up in the morning feeling not shitty.
3. In other news on the “Books Written by our Role Models” front, Clinton Kelly wrote a book about how to be better than everyone else and I hadn’t even heard about it, but luckily Tanya stays on top of such things and had it shipped to me. I am glad my friends take good care of me and send me books of instructions on what to do if I ever need to cook a steak in a hurry or if I accidentally fart in public.
4. I can’t decide if I should write a B-52s paper or a Shangri-Las paper for the pop music analysis seminar I’m taking. Or if I should just abandon both of those ideas and go grunge – Babes in Toyland have been at the back of my mind lately.
5. I just got a custom-made camera case for my new camera from Hondamom on etsy – it’s like this, but smaller and with purple and blue flowers – and it is the loveliest thing! Yay for lovely things.
so….. what should you do when you accidently fart in public?
Guess what… I got your christmas card today!!! Thank yoooooou! I love the sparkly envelope
take some fancy pictures with your new camera already! I expect a photolog of hawaii.
someone I know really really liked X-Files 2, and I started to argue with them about how bad it was. it was like bizarro world.
come on! let’s hear from hawaii! I am half expecting you to decide to move there!
