Chicago: Jesus just left.

WOW. FUCK YOU, CABLE.

I've seen things that would make you crap a book on how to puke.

Wow, that website.

It's wonderful! It has a lot of stuff, and no downloading! I could have used that this summer in NO.

The video for Chingy's song "Powerballa" (or maybe it's "Powerballin'") has a pinball theme. That's all I've seen/heard.

So The Arcade Fire. I really like them. I guess I could see the music being overly dramatic for some people, but I like it all right. The words are really good.

Busy is my girl.

I can't believe I went out AGAIN tonight. I wouldn't have except that Youngbl00d was playing tonight. ANyway I got back to Madison okay and the cats weren't dead.

The Arcade Fire are gay.

I hate you.

Who will go with me to see the Arcade Fire on May 18? WHO?

OK, I think I've worn out the funny on that.

The only Arcade Fire song I've heard sounds too much like "On The Dark Side" by John Cafferty and the Beaver Brown Band, so if you like them do not listen to this song and if it comes through the speakers when you're in the White Hen at 3 a.m. cover your ears.

Oh dear.

Eric, I was thinking of you because the episode of The O.C. I just watched featured "Night Moves."

Eric-- Do you know a play about a woman who wants has decided to commit suicide because for no apparent reason? She tells her mother that she will fix her dinner and then go to the bathroom to shoot herself. She's not depressed, upset, or angry; she is just has decided to die. In the end she shoots herself in the bathroom. I think a woman wrote it.

because for no apparent reason....

'night Mother by Marsha Norman. Really good play.

As opposed to 'night Moves by Bob Seger (so good).

I just found it! http://www.storyispromise.com/night.htm Thanks though. The keywords in this search were "play suicide mother gun." This play is pretty great. I wish I had kept my Modern Drama textbook.

Maybe she is a little upset, if not depressed.

"And I can't do anything either, about my life, to change it, make it better, make me feel better about it. Like it better, make it work. But I can stop it. Shut it down, turn it off like the radio when there's nothing on I want to listen to."

Eric, have you read/seen Top Girls? And do you remember a play set in Victorian times in Africa? In it the roles are all mixed up--some men play women, women play men, grown man plays a little boy.

Yeah, I've seen it a few times, and it's probably one of my favorite plays (though it's hard in production to connect the first act with the rest). Cloud Nine, also by Caryl Churchill, is the one about Victorians in Africa, and that one I've seen two so-so productions of. Top Girls is the real dazzler.

She also has a play called The Skriker that is about a thousand-year-old British shapeshifter in contemporary London who speaks like she has a brain disorder. The opening lines are:
"Heard her boast beast a roast beef eater. Daughter could spin span spick and spun the lowest form of staw into golden lion and lyonesse under the sea, dungeonesse under the castle for bad mad sad adders and takers away. NeVer marry a kingsize, well beloved. Sees a little backjack thingalingo with a long long tale awinding. May day, she cried, may pole asked me to help her. So I spin the sheaves shoves shivers into golden guild and geld and if she can't guessinggame and safety match my name then I'll take her no mistake no mister no missed her no mist no miss no me no. Is it John Jack the ladder in your stocking is it Joke? Is it Alexander Sandro Andrew Dersteignton? No 't ain't, says I, no tainted meat me after the show me what you've got. Then pointing her finger says Tom tit tot! Out of her purple lippety loppety, out of her mouthtrap, out came my secreted garden flower of my youth and beauty and the beast is six six six o'clock in the morning becomes electric stormy petrol bomb. Revengance is gold mine sweet. Fe fi fo fumbledown cottage pie crust my heart and hope to die. My mother she killed me and put me in pies for sale away and home and awayday. Peck out her eyes have it. I'll give you three wishy washy. An open grave must be fed up you go like dust in the sunlight of heart. Gobble google says the turkey turnkey key to my heart. Ready or not hear we come quick or dead of night sleep sleep tight."

I am going to have to buy some anthologies.

I'm making a shopping list for stocking my harem. So far the must-haves are

-Brandon Flowers
-TR Knight
-Eminem

I remember buying a ticket to see arcade fire for $8.00 at the Empty Bottle.

Then I sold it. Ha.

Warning, somewhat gross story ahead:

I got into work today and my chair was adjusted all weird, like someone else had been sitting in it. OK, not so strange, I was out on Friday and maybe someone was using my computer while I was out. Then I notice that my mouse was kind of sticky. Gross, someone was eating while using my computer. I go get some wet paper towels and clean it off. Then I start up my computer and open the internet, and notice that the last three pages visited on my computer were porn sites. ;_;

the western/congress blue line pooper is back ;_;


nothing like starting your day next to homeless person scat.

Gross on both counts, dudes.

oh man, the person i'm sharing this office with started this morning. and i've got cheap beer farts!


it's a big office but still.

And do you remember a play set in Victorian times in Africa? In it the roles are all mixed up--some men play women, women play men, grown man plays a little boy.

Ha, the first time I ever saw Matt from C@n@st@, he was dressed up as a woman in Cloud Nine.

OK, now that I think about it, it wasn't the FIRST time. We were also doing improv together, and we both had American Music that quarter -- but it was one of my first impressions of him.

Mornin Chicago. Hope your weekend was a roaring success.

The Departed is better the second time around, better even than I remember it being.

and i've got cheap beer farts!

Oh man I feel your pain. I do not have cheap beer farts, but I have eaten nothing but beans and vegetables all weekend. I am currently also the flatulent sort. :(

Thanks for sharing, guys.

You wanna see sharing, drop by my office.

Why does Kompakt hate computers? I had to insert the Field album like 10 times into my CD drive before my computer was able to read it, and this was also the case for Kompakt 100 and, if I'm not mistaken, another Kompakt release (Immer, maybe?). The ironic thing is that this is the first actual physical CD I've bought in months (I know at least Nick has the album and could YSI, but sometimes I like having artefacts), and shenanigans like this just make me want to go back to downloading everything.

Wow no kidding. Maybe it's not DRM crap but something about German CD manufacturing?

btw: The Field album gets better the more I listen to it.

I think maybe I just don't like "minimal techno" that much. I've decided I prefer my dance music maximal. Like, loud and crazy and dense.

By the way, Sarah doesn't think my thumb is weird.

Nick: are you saying The Field is minimal? I don't hear that. It's not loud and crazy, but it's fairly dense.

This is the play I want to see:

Danger Zone: The Making of a Top Gun Musical
Produced by: New Millennium Theatre Company
National Pastime Theater
4139 N. Broadway
Chicago,IL


xpost, that's cute but she's mistaken

John, I dl'ed your mixes (at least the SL and SY, I'll the other one tonight). I haven't had time to listen to anything yet but thanks again.

This is for Jesse because of the tamales:

http://m.assetbar.com/achewood/autaux%3Fb%3DM%255ea11f09b8576e606bcb5038dfdb92fb821%26u%3Dhttp%253A%252F%252Fachewood.com%252Fcomic.php%253Fdate%253D04162007

Of course Sarah would say that. Nobody wants to spend her life with a dude with a freaky thumb.

ERIC: This makes me think of you.

Ha ha. Nick said you guys thought it was weird he could bend his thumb back so far, but so can I... So maybe we both just have very flexible thumbs? Us freaky thumbers have to stick together in this cruel world.

I walked in to work today. So! pretty! out! I listened to my ipod, which I stuffed full of new-to-me tunes, like Kenan's mix, the powerpop comp, and the ratatat mixes, and junior boys remixes.

DRAMA:

1. MY COFFEE POT IS BROKEN. I cleaned it yesterday by running vinegar through it a few times and halfway through the second rinse cycle it went BEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEPPPPPPPPPPEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE (my coffee pot beeps when it's done) and now it won't turn back on. I'm hoping the electronics just got wet or something and it will work when it dries out because otherwise it's one of those things where the mechanics work perfectly but the failure of the over-designed electronic geegaws render the whole thing worthless. I hate that so much!

2. Do you remember that terrible prof I had my first year who took points off if we used the word "not" in our papers and with whom I had many a pitched battle including one over using my laptop in class and one about how she required women to wear SKIRTS during our mock oral arguments or lose points on our grade? Well, she's up for tenure today and an intrepid 2L has drafted and circulated a petition opposing her appointment with the support of two other professors (one of whom is my favorite prof ever in the whole world ever). So that's like sweet vengeance and all, even though I'm kind of over all my issues with her now, besides just thinking she's an insane person.

I have new to me tunes on my mp3 player, too, and I am contemplating walking maybe halfway to Worker Justice, Inc. (walking from here to Bryn Mawr would be nice but it would take too long, I think).

Have you people ever heard of a band called Midlake? I listened to them for the first time last night and I liked them a lot. But then I looked at their website and they seem like pretentious wankers with a really irritating following. But I'm just going to forget I ever saw that and go back to liking the band.

This is for Jesse because of the tamales:

What is this supposed to be? What tamales?
