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

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

I don't know because I've been avoiding his movies for one reason or another. Mostly the seriousness and a splash of uptheassness.

the thing is - in a lot of his roles - he comes across as a real person, as opposed to a caricature - the Machinist is a good example - maybe he does less so now. The Batman movies I can't help seeing as Christian Bale as Patrick Bateman as Batman.

yeah his bruce wayne is Patrick Batman tbh

it's actually pretty fitting though.

however I can't watch a movie with Christian Bale in it without thinking of the line, "I have to return some video tapes." from American Psycho. Like in the one that came out last year that was the fictional remake of Little Dieter Needs to Fly, and Bale is in the POW camp trying to escape, I kept imagining him saying, "I've gotta get out here. Look, you need to let me out of this camp. I have to return some videotapes."

It's similar to how I can't watch a Keanu Reeves movie without imagining Keanu saying, "You killed Ted, you medieval dickweed."

we sorted the movies last night - completely amiably - only a handful of things that I'll miss that are his. More things he'll miss that are mine.

it was weird going through everything and realizing the differences between our tastes, which are pretty similar. All the demonic children movies were mine.

in my last breakup i got all the cds and now i have a stack of lame twee juno-indie

is there any store where you are that buys used cds? Getting rid of them and getting some money in return sounds like the best outcome of that.

The books are the next thing to sort - looking at the shelves, I bought him a shitload of really nice art books over the years.

Bryce - you are right about Jennifer Herrema

Wait wait. I don't remember discussing Jennifer Herrema with you. What did I say about her?

it was on an 1p3 thread - you said you didn't think she was that attractive under the glasses and accessories. she isn't. But then, I think I have some sort of instinctual utilitarian aesthetic where people with a lot of drug or alcohol damage just aren't that physically attractive to me.

Oh. That must've been a long time ago. I talked about this with Katie a couple of months ago, and we could not find an unflattering picture of her, even though I swore at the time that I had seen some.

I've seen her in person.

Oh, God, Alexa Chung. I like how she does not give a fuck about her own show.

I don't even know who that is. I think sometimes that Tuomas is more knowledgeable about American culture than i am.

I'm gonna go to the big used bookstore in Berkeley to look for some more of those things I couldn't find - also to get the donuts with the cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips on top.

if only alexa chung was american culture

is alexa chung better than donuts with cream cheese frosting and chocolate chips on top?

Now that I can transfer photos from my cell phone to the computer, I will take a picture of these donuts.

That kind of donut I would think too sweet?

Cream cheese frosting - seems like someone on ilx would already have played the cream cheese frosting is the insufferable indie version of buttercream frosting card.

Yeah, Alexa Chung's an import. She's great. I took some pics of her and DeRulo to post and be suitably ignored later.

I think I've been to that bookstore. I bought Nightwood there. Probably only thing I got there.

it's two doors down from the donut shop which is almost across the street from Amoeba.

the cake part of the donut is actually a bit dry, and not super sweet, so it works well with the frosting -- if the cake part was sweeter it would probably be too sweet, but it isn't. At least I don't think so.

3/4 of the books sorted - more traumatic than the movies - unexpectedly

i think i will make that cartoon i was thinking about - but later
