See, that's the thing with being an adult: kids can still buy into the flashlight beam killing off the boojums and not from around heres. As adults, we know that's at best a fifty-fifty chance.

And yes, it does make me feel better. It really weirds me out how a song, or a film, or a page in a comic can just completely overwrite how I'm feeling and turn me into a gibbering wreck, or a weeping fool, or an ecstatic dancing idiot.

I'm just an empty receptacle waiting to be filled by media, which I honestly prefer to being unable to engage with anything, which I see al lot among my friends.

And I'll second watching Lost Highway.

Bad for the nerves, but good for the soul. Or something.

Hey, Decadent!

I'm 26 and still a little afraid of the dark, or easily creeped out by things. Donnie Darko made me have a weird thing about men in skull-faced rabbit costumes, for example.

Someone want to give me an opinion of this blog entry? I'm thinking of filing it away as a potential story opening for whenever I finish this damned detective story.

Vonneguty.

And in the world that went daffy for the iPhone? Perhaps entirely necessary.

Actually, did the world go daffy for the iPhone? I only know one person outside of the LA area who bought one, but I know lots of LA-people who got them first night. Geographically limited daffiness and just a good marketing campaign to make us think everyone else got them?

I do not know anyone with an iPhone. I know of one person who's touched one, but that's it.

I would really like to do a science fiction story, especially one that mostly uses completely random or unnecessary technologies that are mostly mundane. BUT, of course, after I finish this thing. The first scene's not going so well in the rewrite, but I'm almost done it and then the second scene will probably be much smoother, since I'm actually revising rather than adding.

I'm not sure about about the I-Phone but I know the pop-tooth-brushes made it over to the UK, with 6 different songs!

Which seems fairly counterproductive really, twice a day, and after meals, grudgingly, with a side order of arm-ache isn't really how Pop-Music is supposed to be enjoyed is it?
 
 
Deculture Decedent
05:25 / 20.08.07
Cool. Hopefully you'll just find your groove on it and have some smooth sailing.

I think I will. What are you working on tonight?

05:28 / 20.08.07
Maybe it's a measure of how pop a pop song can be, though. It'd have to be right bang on marvelous for those two minutes.

I'd probably hurt myself through reflexive dancing, really. Put the bristles through the roof of my mouth because Van Morrison throws his head foreward right at that moment and so must I.

I need a name for a hotel manager. Hrm.

Wow, you don't realise how hard it is to come up with Hotel Manager's names until you try to nonchalantly throw one out off the cuff.

Well, I'm off for the night. Nobody get eaten by aliens or eyebrowless fellows singing the hits of Britney Spears through a toothbrush until at least tomorrow.

Aliens don't eat you, silly, they just look at you.

Just stare.

And then touch you, innapropriately

G'night.

She's called Celeste for the moment, I've decided, but that might change. Good night, Decadent--sleep tight. I don't think I've ever seen you head off this early.

Well, I wasn't going. I didn't want to leave Papers on his lonesome, but now you're here, G'night.

I'm off to nightmare land!

Hey Papers. How's things?

Just got in. Went out for chinese food with some friends and the watched Night At The Museum. The chinese was good (except the almond cookies, which tasted like pickles) and the movie was horrid.

I made the mistake of watching The Covenant last night, which was pretty excremental. Isn't Night at the Museum that thing with Ben Stiller?

Mmn, chinese food.

I'm doing the dinner dishes now, so I can get the apartment all clean for the morning. My lunch for tomorrow's sorted out, I worked on revisions for a little bit, and I'm feeling relatively productive today.
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
06:24 / 20.08.07
Yeah, its the one with Stiller. Every plot point is broadcasted 10 minutes before it happens. Foreshadowing? Done with a hammer. Bad bad bad.

Well I hate to leave you alone to guard the shift, but if you hear any strange noises.... muwahahaha

Sounds pretty awful.

These one day weekends really aren't long enough, especially when my next day off isn't until...oh, next Sunday.

Hey, Venger.

I've been distracted by the O.C. Damnable soap.

Also: pasta!

Papers! Stoatie!

Yay!

Oh, Papers, stay away from soaps. The only good one is General Hospital.

It's so popcorny. Awesome. I need some ice cream after the pasta. What's up with you boys?
 
 
Keggers From The Crypt
04:44 / 21.08.07
Well Im doing some doodles in photoshop, lateshifting and watching The Pillow Book.

Also thinking about wine.

I'm pretty happy... not only has Hellbunny got a spare ticket for Tool tomorrow night, I've also just managed to blag a night off work so I don't even have to come into the office after the gig! Yay me and getting horrendously drunk at sold-out gigs!
