Incidentally I skipped two years in school and 11 year old me on my first day in a class of 13 year olds responded to a question about euthenazia by talking about youth in asia.

Ed - you are Emily Litella's fraternal twin!

Life is too short. . .lately I've been in bed by seven with some huge, fluffy library book. LAME.

^^^This sounds totally perfect to me right now. xxxpost

xxpost John's documentary watching habits make me feel really boring for still being in "catch up on the last 50 years of mainstream films" mode

Also welcome Z S!

ps guys, I wound up just drinking cocoa last night; not even one cocktail. Dammit.

oh so yeah tehresa the jandek doc was pretty much what i expected - i mean no revelations obv, although they had the cooperation of "corwood industries". lots of musos talking about why they thought jandek was great, some of which were very cool and interesting and some of which were def far too committed to the "i enjoy this because it is inherently difficult and you do not because you are stupid" fake high art crit. interesting to actually hear the 1985 phone interview that john trubee did.

all that aside, i liked it but it def didn't break any super new ground, and i am a casual jandek listener at best. prob the best thing about it was the examination of how people build their own little mythologies around him, purely because they have to invent a back story because having no story makes them uncomfortable, esp when some of them had really really bought into the "crazy recluse in a one room shack" thing that is so obv and patently untrue.

the B.I.K.E. doc was mostly (and i think somewhat unintentionally) a rambling story about how the filmmakers buddy who wants to join is a fucked up junkie trust fund loser. again, kind of fascinating in that respect but srsly, next time call the movie "my douchey friend Tony wants to join the BLBC but it doesn't work out so he spends a lot of time naked and crying and then makes a crappy fake bike club in defiance and no one cares - the end."

prob the best thing about it was the examination of how people build their own little mythologies around him

Why thank you, and you've played your part.

The documentary is interesting in light of him now becoming a much more public figure.

"much more public figure" still equals "Sara has no clue who you are all on about"

;_;

I have seen that Jandek documentary but never really listened to him, so it was just okay. Enjoyed the Daniel Johnston one better.

Alright, it's settled. My brother, sister-in-law, their four kids, mother and stepfather are all coming down on xmas. We have no guest beds, a couple of air mattresses, a couch and an abundance of dog hair. this should be fun.

Daniel Johnston doc is one of the best music docs ive seen. also great, much to my surprise - that flaming lips one (fearless freaks?).

in general, the less music critics involved (sorry ned), and the less they actually talk about the music itself, the better the music doc will be IMHO. see also "the tale of two johns" about TMBG.

I feel like I need to make another "to see" list. If I could give up sleep, I'd get a lot more of this stuff accomplished.

lol I love less vs fewer confusion

I have more and more confusion, tbh.

dan are you really criticizing the grammar and word choice of a dude who has eschewed all forms of english format in his msg board posts?

uh-oh, ex-English major hissy fit imminent!

(just kidding, Irish; gotta give you a hard time before the day is out)

actually i dont think either of us ended up as english majors. PHILOSOPHY V COMP SCI FITE!!!!

that is a battle royale that would draw in the crowds, btw

Look, it's been a rough day at work and if I want to take joy in the mental image of music critics getting BoxingHelena-ed as they try to talk about music, I believe that is my right.

actually that does sound like something that would have a substantial draw.

"hey ned, there is a directors cut of "in orange" hidden in the bottom of this box."

"does this rag smell funny to you?"

jj, have you seen the dead moon doc? it is awesome.

added to netflix q

heads up: new HI DERE username is in serious contention for best name ever

xxxxpost I will make fun of your many not-quite-majors as I want to, John.

Dan stuck pretty closely with computer science, so far as I know, and honestly, I question that more than anything. (gah, except this fucking nursing major, which is destroying my life)

I want to stab my own eyes out with a pencil.

tehresa, I hope you are done with your project/s or at least napping right now!

i am not napping.

holy christ only ten hours until my biochem final

i will not be sleeping much 2nite

me either

BROS IN DELIRIUM!!!!!

hey me either but that is mostly due to videogames and tying one on in preparation for HOLIDAY RETAIL GAAAAAAHHH

i just put on a pot of coffee

attempted to purchase "new old formula" schlitz tonight but it was $10 a 12 pack. WTF SCHLITZ U KRAZY

I think John should be forced to take the biochem test, do tza's project, and write these interventions for breastfeeding assistance for new moms for me.

I'm sure the three of us would be happy to deal with the store for him in exchange.

I'm frankly boggling over the notion of "new old formula" schlitz.

i mean, improving your cheap shitty beer only works if it remains cheap. i suspect some Grain Belt Premium style shenanigans here.

i will totally work the store in exchange for project doing because i have worked xmas retail including arguing with a woman over the guitar strings she was buying for her son/the fact that she was a bitch and cut in line

I have had xmas customers throw pantyhose at me. Also, one guy at the bookstore really seemed to want to come behind the counter and kill me because he didn't like how long it was taking me to give him his $2.11 back for the remaindered Peggy Noonan book he was returning.

WHY DOES MY BOOK NOT ADDRESS PROPER LATCHING OFF AS WELL AS PROPER LATCHING ON?! ffs, if you just pull the baby off your breast, you're TOTALLY going to get sore and bleeding nipples. DUH

best is when people wanted a discount on a shopworn book because "it's a gift"

xp ugh

if only mr miyagi had taught daniel-san those procedures

^^^weirdest La Leche League educational film idea ever

argh, I just wound up changing my intervention plan, but that really annoys me that the book doesn't address that, especially since I took care of a woman who had just that problem.

lol my gluestick is purple appparently it is for kids

srsly when it is 1:12 am and you are saying 'oh shit i lost my toilet!' to yourself, that is a bad sign!!!!!

also a bad sign is when you compile a binary with debugging code for an incredibly pissed-off client in the UK and it completely breaks your search interface and there doesn't seem to be anything you can do about it

omg nooooo

they're going to be at work in like 30 minutes and I have nothing for them

good news: i found my toilet
