the internet is carazy.
last night i stayed up watching old family ties, cosby show and he-man episodes.
i was thinking i wonder how much youre brain takes in from the subtle plots of these kind of shows , dynamics of family etc, how much you watch and how it could affect a young persons brain and their view of the world. heman didnt show much even though i remember watching that when i was very young. but family ties and alex p keaton was always a favorite of mine ad now that im almost 30 its really funny to watch the show and see what i liked watching even at a young age.

It's it. now.
I cant believe it. It makes want to scream out into the darkness past my window.
"!!!!!!!"
I have a computer again! With speakers! And the internet works bettr somehwat, perhaps cause of the stronger Airport card. God it feels so good, M US SICCCC!!!!
The closest thing I could think of that would match the hart was The Plastic Mastery
http://www.myspace.com/plasticmastery
Miles Away
look! links!! I also think of that part in Imagine when John and Yoko are walking through tittenhurst and hes speaking so hopefully about the 80s. The 70s were a drag but we made it, let's try and make the 80s better. 'And its just going to be so great..' Aww fuck YEAH. I paid rent today after a brief encounter with Anthony. Our anger breathes in and out in sync its sorta nice to get angry at someone then we both back down and just move on until the next time. I spent all day exchanging files from one computer, last night was the straw. I'll spare the story but god, it can get so complicated sometimes. This is why the best things in life are simple. If it's real, its usually simple and if it's simple, it's true. - thats john lennon too. Jose just pounded on my door and delivered the goods. I havent smoked in awhile since the plan's been underway. New bank account with new money. New computer with new music, new hope. New job and when I go back I know its gonna be different. I just cant believe that I get to hear music again. I heard Saturday Looks Good to Me, thenew album on K, which I wanted to buy but didnt know if i wanted to shell out 11 or so on an album i didnt know yet, something i would have done when i was younger but these days of living less, it was harder to splurge. Talked to mandy today and we shared the same ____. about feeling bored all the time and wanting to leave and how one place can be hard and cumbersome / how i asked about running away with the circus so i could always be on the move. i think thats what really scares me about this place, especially it being so damn tiny, just that when theres less people around theres just more to fuck up. more to get bored of too. its exhausting being expected to watch your social manners all the time. manner police are everywhere here. i wanna be surprised. surprise me san francisco, come on. do something besides the boring predictables. make some good art, ive seen your art, lets just say "ehh". if i see another gallery opening with hanging bicycle parts im gonna shit on he floor right then and there. ill do it! break the ice. im so over the aging hipster crowd and all that crap. its nice to hear someone else thinks the same. i dont feel so over (the hill). i got a message on my old LASTFM profile sent like this past monday : that a guy in england worked on another of my songs. AWESOME!! what better message could you get after returning to the internet. mandy was published too and she told me about a guy in brooklyn i might have known whos doing shit too. it all makes me feel so happy that there IS still a scene for the real kids. its still alive, its just where it should be. i wanna keep making music, i was listening to a new besties song, theyre fuckin awesome. unselfconscious pop. all this makes me so hopeful and so not so alone, its fuckin awesome. if i go to england its nice to know i got a place i can stay , thats a nice feeling. helping each other and the like but on a grander scale and for a bigger purpose than ourselves.
it really makes my heart crumple like paper. its been a tough year "but thats all gone now. thats over now."

Extras Season One
The idea that the second record is gonna flop is one of the rites of passage for an artist
, sorta like turning 30 and the whole midlife crisis, or adolescence. theres nothing you can do about it. though, you can make the best out of what ya got. in ricky gervais' case and his partner stepehen merchant, they sorta follow the vincent gallo version of evolution and with the s-u-c-c-e-s-s of the Office world wide, make an even more challenging introspection. when i first saw this i immediately equated the office as sorta having the spirit of the 20s and extras was definitely more adult and 30s. i dont even want to watch the second season cause i heard there's a christmas special that just came out about a week ago so dont buy this tillthey sell the first second and xmas special , like they did the office, in the coming year. i hope its good. this show pretty much gives you a finely tuned version of awkardness you got from the office, theres plenty of oh my gods and ups n downs. my favorite show is the last one and the premise of andy's bbc show is simply fuckin genius. rent it.
Curb Your Enthusiasm season 4
after the third season i was sorta left with a sore taste in my mouth, all of the sudden larry david had become sort of an asshole. before in the 1st and second seasons, i felt like he was a victim of circumstance, but in the third season he sorta got himself into trouble. ehh. the fourth season though is an awesome balance of his new asshole-ness and being fucked by life again and again. plus it has the Wandering Bear show which i dont know if i laughed so hard in my life when i first saw it, INDIANS ARE FUNNY dont rent this from the library cause it skips and i didnt even get to watch it this time around but maybe its good that way too. " not good, better."
EPILOGUE i sat down and rubbed on the dvd for a good couple hours so i could watch Wandering bear cure the Numb Vagina, and also remembered this season is worth it for that show and The Survivor show. SO FUNNY
p.s. its a interesting observation that ben stiller is in both of these series, both are i guess sorta on the intellectual side of humor, or least in the league of NEW humor. at least a few years back. i always thought neil hamburger and the office went hand in hand then curb your enthusiasm was the show with a masters degree. strangers with candy also fit in there early on with stephen colbert - also finds himself in this season of curb your enthusiam - writing the bulk of the spoken humor that now is sorta commonspeak. "my toys are not play things!"

Reasons why 2008 will be the best year ever.
last year:
lost my car
roommate died
friend died (max)
teeth pulled
broken computer speakers and hence no new music
lost internet
stove
furniture/ bed = my room, a years time building
paypal account closed (because of internet fruad)
almost evicted, twice
got bed bugs
lost super films of the past four or so years
unemployed ~ no money
it can't get any worse, i still got yellow bike and records ha!
i got a swell new job, it pays weekly so im gonna have some money in my pocket. ive been fine tuning my shopping skills so if i do go on sprees i feel like im a little more responsible.the musics been going good too, just sorta learning the craft and every song i learn something new and old. im getting closer to telling strangers i have this hobby. getting closer to the sound im looking for. its out there; the worlds an open canvas. Anything can happen. i do believe in that still. in the next month im gonna get a new computer that way i can listen to music again and not have to keep buying records without hearing them and hear NEW. im gonna get internet in my room like before and change my phone plan so i dont have to keep paying every week. first big goal is CAR. theres no ifs ands or buts about it. theres too much of california and the west to just sit in my room and let it all pass me by. plus im feeling so suffocated in one place. i need to be moving. plus it makes me feel more my age. there aint nothing wrong with being old and "normal". i think its one of my new dreams to be "normal". i hate that word. maybe smart is overrated too. im glad i got through this past year, my friends tell me it was hard, which is nice to hear and not think youre just feeling sorry for yourself. its bullshit that i dont need anybody. i need people around just as much as anybody, maybe more. i keep getting told by people in my past life i am a people person but ive never felt further from them (people) than this year. i dont like it. they say you gotta be open for things to happen, i dont know if i believe in that - things will happen anyway - but im ready for some positive changes to come my way, even by any stroke of luck from my own hands. its so cold here i love it. just get past new years and wait a little longer for whats around the corner. it will be alright and in a month or two ill look back and be thankful ive only had a couple bad years in my life. maybe itll make a good story or something.

Happy Endings
I saw this with my sister when I lived with her. It’s a really nice feeling to see a good new movie; Hope. French new wave but sorta modern altman too. Even scenes where they have a song play over a montage of scenes arent the worst idea. Complicated times that tie themselves into a simple knot by the end. There’s some sweet moments in bed but they don’t last long.
Urban Cowboy
Ah yes, the continuing story of Bud and Sissy, we all know this one. After I saw this movie a year or two ago, I realized COWBOYS ARE PUNKS. Debra Winger looks good riding a bull, and J Travolta plays the troubled hero like an old brown shoe, but it’s the story that takes center stage. Love, lust, jealousy, oil refineries, honky tonks, even Bonnie Rait thrown in for good measure makes this movie so easy to watch over and over. And even though I’ve seen it a bunch of times, it still grabs me right through to the last scene. One best told love stories of this Modern Age, along with The last picture show: both from texas; barebones n simple- “not dumb, just simple.”
Fanny and Alexander
Bergman’s swan song to everything cinema and human. We need drama for things to work out. The imagination of our children guides us through the human darkness. Ghosts live on and birth’s are celebrated at banquets. This fim is as rich in its environments as Scenes from a Marriage was in its emotional quotient. Grand Scale is just how Bergman rolls and it reminds me of Kenneth Brannagh’s Hamlet who must have been inspired by this epic. I can’t even see bothering with the regular movie version so when you rent it remember to rent the Televsion Version, all 5 or so hours, its worth your time.

The Changling
Stars george c scott. Another movie about a haunted house. Music boxes I guess are scary theyre in this one and Burnt Offerings. Also drowning kids is popular . first build up was scary but no huge pay off of the kid crippled like in pet sematary. Wolf eyes dvd was scarier.
Wolf Eyes – Covered in Bugs
I owned this a few years back but after a trip to la, it had been stolen from my room along with a bunch of other shit. Shit sucked. But slowly and surely im getting the stuff back somehow. This DVD is as crazy as I remembered it, ‘wolf eyes rule!’ they do stabbed in the face Live, fuck yeah pass the bowl.
I Shot Andy Warhol
I saw this movie awhile back and it fuckin rules. It still fucking rules. Its really just about lilly taylor. Oh and Martha plimpton. oh and yo la tengo. All that shit sorta reminds me of driving around in daina’s car with washing machine in the tape deck,.Portsmouth. in the fall. this movie reminds me of way back when.
The Royal Tenenbaums
Sorta what terror twilight could have been in it’s the mark of the end of an era. When wes Anderson went for the gold after rushmore. All of the sudden gene hackaman? Come on, two years before hes making bottlerocket? I don’t think so. This was the last of his good movies and he sorta pulls out his mission thesis and blows his load. Which is fine, its just, then what? I saw this movie five times in the theaters I liked it so much. This movie contains on of the hottest lines ever written: So I guess we’ll have to be secretly in love with each other etc…
The Fly
I think this must have proved beyond a doubt Cronenberg is the master of the new sci fi. Jeff Goldblum is awesome, the action starts right away within the first 10 mins and really doesn’t stop until the finale when we’re faced with the reality that some things have to die. Lots of gore, a dark score and one of the best arm wrestling scenes since Over the Top, I wonder if this was one of the ultimate popcorn movies in its day.

re: reviews, returns, rrr
King Kong
I liked this one, it sorta reminded me of a neo classic. It also balanced high paced movie going with some real issues about love and human nature. The way Naomi Watts got us to believe she and the beast shared something was good. A tragic love story between woman and simple beast.
Dirty Harry
Clint Eastwood movie, I had never seen a Dirty Harry movie before. It was good, and made me laugh in its self satire. Self conscious Tough guy movie. Set in SF if I remember. The bad guy was sorta good stealing the bus full of kids.
Deathwish
Alright film about revenge, sorta. The hero never takes equal revenge, rather he becomes a vigelante. I wanted to see Bronson get angry, very restrained movie, perhaps that’s what they were building.
Joe.
I had only seen Peter Boyle in the Dream Team and the other hunter s Thompson movie with bill murray. He was good in this and it was fun seeing him and the main character partying with the hippies. The most memorable line in the movie though was the girl who says, “If you want it so bad, you can have it.” Good ending.
Nashville
Good, a couple scenes were slow. The song the blonde guitarist plays was good and the last song the crazy woman sings was also good. Lilly Tomlin ruled in a part shallow enough to be generalized but deep enough to be felt. It was nice hearing so much country.
Wolfen
Good. Urban decvay is the real star in this movie. Gregory hines is funny doing the post Richard pryor thing. Albert finny, did he play uncle albert? I forget. Basic idea is hippy as shit but the wolf parts are cool, If I had a band I’d name us the wolfen. One more animal to add to the list.
Burnt Offerings
Karen black horror flick, reminded me of the shining sorta or just any haunted house yarn. Father drowing the kid was cool, suspenseful but anti climatic ending.
Woke up with with $7 in my pocket. Damnit. Sold back the cd label maker and sony headphones and now have 40 bucks in my pocket. Bought a blanket for 1.60. Talked to Johnny the cowboy who plays on 16th and south van ness. Been listening to Neil Michael Hagerty’s first album all day. Its got this organ spine running through it that reminds me of basement dance parties. That yo la tengo song is in my head a lot too. I wanted to say something but something tied my hands. I have a plan to go to amoeba and buy those two Fleetwood mac albums for $1 each. Ive been wanting them, I cant see finding them much cheaper.
Went back to thrift town and tried to return the light brown blanket for the yellow one. Un successfully. Yellow is much better. Went to the main library picked up Sybill and Let It Blurt- the lester bangs biography. Rode to the mission bay library and discovered its closed Mondays. Rrr. Rode back to market street stopped by Rasputin where they had Funny Ha Ha for 5.95. got a call while smoking up. Start the job tomorrow. I still want those Fleetwood mac lps. Funny haha ruuules. It's a gray day today.
I liked this one, it sorta reminded me of a neo classic. It also balanced high paced movie going with some real issues about love and human nature. The way Naomi Watts got us to believe she and the beast shared something was good. A tragic love story between woman and simple beast.
Dirty Harry
Clint Eastwood movie, I had never seen a Dirty Harry movie before. It was good, and made me laugh in its self satire. Self conscious Tough guy movie. Set in SF if I remember. The bad guy was sorta good stealing the bus full of kids.
Deathwish
Alright film about revenge, sorta. The hero never takes equal revenge, rather he becomes a vigelante. I wanted to see Bronson get angry, very restrained movie, perhaps that’s what they were building.
Joe.
I had only seen Peter Boyle in the Dream Team and the other hunter s Thompson movie with bill murray. He was good in this and it was fun seeing him and the main character partying with the hippies. The most memorable line in the movie though was the girl who says, “If you want it so bad, you can have it.” Good ending.
