Esmee Denters 2: I'll buy you a jet plane, baby

no that's cool - i've noticed that when you don't like something so much that i adore, you say it isn't for your tastes, which is very pleasant of you :)

what

i try to be pleasant. though there are some musical things i can't be pleasant about - like Hall & Oates and Phil Collins - so I generally don't say anything about them.

rather than saying it is flat-out bad or terrible music - positive attitude imo xp

yeah exack

I don't understand the Alica Key's ass thread.

Maybe it's because when I open that thread the post that is dead center in my field of vision mentions cupcakes.

IT'S ABOUT ALICIA KEYS ASS WHAT IS THERE TO UNDERSTAND

that's what you said about the Smoke Persian, and I didn't understand.

It's more straightforward than the Smoke Persian.

it is not about folded irony?

it's about advanced chords

shapely advanced chords and an obligatory post about cupcakes

Oh, and we listened to a lot of Art of Noise and the Shangri-Las.

we went out to dinner, went home, watched episodes of Season 4 of the Wire for possibly the fourth time, and I fell asleep on the couch. We were full from dinner so we didn't eat any snack food while engaged in this activity.

My brother and his wife keep it like a cave in this house. The opaque curtains are always drawn, even when it's overcast outside, even though the porch kills a lot of the potential direct sunlight, and now, in the middle of November, in one of Central Florida's colder autumns, they've got the air conditioning on. Not the only reason I'm moving out, but I'm moving out. Fuck those two.

sounds like it would be better for you ... plus you could avoid canned tuna.

Something like this has potential, but I hate that area. It's all asphalt and shopping centers.

Single MOMs OK

i talked with one of my non-profit bookkeeping clients yesterday about the breakup and the business stuff that's up in the air, and how I'll need to take on more freelance work to be able to live alone, and she said she'd refer me to other people who might need someone, so the financial challenges are seeming a bit less challenging.

That's good. I keep thinking of financial challenges in special classes.

when I think of special classes I think of my friend Jen's students, and how part of their curriculum is social adjustment, so she'll take them to McDonalds or Walgreens and places like that.

OH. I'm unpacking all of this.

u can live in place where your rent is less than $400/month

o_O

wow 300 dollar rent

my rent is under $500/month - I have friends that have cheaper rent that live in larger places or crappier neighborhoods.

I used to pay $275 for a three bedroom house with a large kitchen and a porch. But this is Orlando, and it's $300 for a room. Florida is not too cheap considering the quality of life is total balls.

If it's not one Lada Gaga song in my head, it's another.

the summer I lived in Indiana was 1995 - the summer a hundred old people died in Chicago, but by the time I went out there, it wasn't that bad - but it was still a major heat wave. His parents "didn't believe" in air conditioning. He lived out in the middle of nowhere. A night on the town was driving into Muncie and going to Steak & Shake.

sounds awesome!

good luck with that

We went to Bloomington for a few days and hung out w/friends of his from HS. We saw a play that one of his friends directed - I think it was "Cowboy Mouth" - and it was a bit dreary, until the Lobster Man showed up near the end in a lobster costume they rented from a costume shop in Texas, which apparently was the only place they could locate that had such a costume.

Bloomington's so indie now. The guy from John Wilkes Booze used to live in Knoxville and he's from there.

They should make a thing that plots all of the Craigslist listings on Google Maps.

It's the future, after all.

wow 300 dollar rent

lol zing sure but this is really o_O to me! still!

i'm not leaving by phil collins is 1 of my favourite songs evr btw

lamp that wasn't a zing, that was honesty

I knew it! Lamp's comment made me doubt myself.

xp ikr - you're not the only friend of mine that likes Phil Collins. Now I feel mildly guilty at breaking my silence on the subject.

just wanted a little balance in the interest of fairness, no guilt needed u

have you seen American Psycho? curious if you have what you thought of it?

i read the book but i didn't see the movie but I do <3 chloe sevigny, fully agree with about 90% of patrick bateman's music reviews btw esp the whitney houston one

I <3 Christian Bale - it's weird thinking that he's the same age as me. I think in some ways the movie is actually better than the book.

the book made me crack up a lot when I read it one summer during secondary school, every time my mam asked what i was laughing at i kinda had to be "i would have to explain a lot of backstory" cos usually they would be lines abt hacking up some workmate

glamorama is my favourtite B.E.E., it's the funniest and most violent

Christian Bale. He's decided he doesn't mind being typecast.

wld not want to see him play someone with a sense of humour ever

EXACTLY

but he kinda has a sense of humor in the way he plays characters without one
