-waiting for new criterion dvds to come in the mail

otmfm

Ooh!! I have Argento's "Opera" on my computer; I'll have to watch that soon.

And I've got 2 more eps of FLCL and then I'm starting Paranoia Agent :-D

My roommate and I, though, we like cook dinner for each other and watch movies and text each other throughout the day and get excited for each other when good things happen and hang out in our undies and talk about life. I'm worried we might kind of "like" each other :-/

xp hooray for undiluted drumming! Had you ever drummed before or are you just starting out?

just starting! i had dabbled before, but i'm officially learning now. finally.

(ha i mean like, because it's relaxing and really nice, not in a 'listening to morrissey in the dark' depresso way or whatever)

xxp to self

my bf loves abe's inter ice age 4, have been meaning to read that myself

i haven't read that one yet!

Best way to learn drumming imo is get your favorite album really loud on headphones and play along to it.

― Emperor Cos Dashit (Adam Bruneau)

OTM this is so true!

You don't even have to match what the drummer is doing just jam with it so you keep the time and mind the changes and it sounds good.

totally!!! Black Sabbath is an ultimate classic. His cinematography work is nothing to sneeze at either.

Making chicken mole in the summer. I was so against it, just not done, never had mole in the summer, unless it was a wedding and it was served really late. Since Oklahoma hasn't been too hot, been having mole with homemade corn tortillas nopal and queso fresca regularly.

Sergio Leone westerns season at the local indie cinema

Asian toy stores in Chinatown
This FUCKING INCREDIBLE AS FUCK new mug that I got at an Asian toy store in Chinatown

Tera, can I have your mole recipe? Never made it before, but where better place than Mexico?

Stevie I demand pics of this mug

mole so good but also terrifyingly complicated, no?

all of this is the same mug

did marilyn poop in yr mug y/n

Probably. MS Paint lady looks irritated abt it.

that mug is physically insane

watching flowers begin to bloom, those taht I grew from seed anyway.
Long arabic shirts though I did wonder if they were the best thing in this heat, but they could be designed for it, though on the other hand maybe they're made more for London weather.

The new 2nd hand cords I bought yesterday & do seem pretty decently new. Bought them a size big and they feel snugger than I would hope. Sedentary courses may do that for you, hope not.
Not into my previous pair wearing thin since I loved them.
Kenya Special though I had hoped it would have more Luo music on.

Mapping my flat for a project though may have to change what I'm doing since this would be part of my portfolio. Hopefuly will mean it gets springcleaned though.
Reading Tom WAits on Tom WAits which I've had out of the library rather too long. Kept thinking I should take it back cos I wasn't reading it. But now getting into it.
Want to read some more Patricia Highsmith since I just read Ripley's Game. Been meaning to read her for ages, probably since seeing the 2 films from around 15 years ago. this and the earlier Talentd Mr Ripley.
My walkman, though would prefer it if tracks didn't glitch out. been happening since I got the thing 2nd hand on a few tracks. I just start getting into something and it doesn't play through and has me worried about the machine stopping working. But when it isn't doing that i get a continual flow of surprise juxtaposition and possibly tracks i haven't heard in quite a while.

right now i am into this record 'rave digger' that basically just takes drum n bass and throws early 90s ravey "hardcore" sounds on top

it's like drugs in headphones
