corpora lente augescent cito extinguuntur

The funniest thing I've read all week
You should really read that- especially if you've ever played any incarnation of the Sims


Drowsy man.
I Especially liked his eyesockets.



Listening to the Velvet Underground.
Forgot how much I love their album with Nico.
That woman was something else.


I got some great new headphones but now I can't find my MP3 player.

Durrr.



I've also decided to unlock my journal- I feel like an idiot locking everything.


The night before last I had a dream about Dax Riggs- I dreamed I had convinced him to come over and hang out even though we'd never met- mainly for Hunter's birthday- He showed up and was really awesome and we were drinking a beer and kicking up our heels and I was like "Hunter look what I found!" and he shrugged and just didn't care, which is- lol- NOT what would happen. (he thought this dream was pretty funny too)
But then we (Dax and I) just decided to hang out and smoke a joint and watch the sky and it was really great.
I never dream about famous people, and oddly in this dream everyone looked like who they were, though the house was all different.
It was very vivid, and very very cool- since on that invisible list of "people I'd like to hang out with but will never get the chance" that we all have, he's at the top.

I <3 dreams.

I was afraid it was true after seeing the first 5 minutes of this on OPB, but apparently, John Cleese is NOT dead, and I'm a sucker




in other news, one of my best pals, Paris (and her hubby Erik and daughter Freya) MIGHT be staying with us for about six months in the near future. It would mean they could save up for a home, and I could get caught up on bills.
I know roomies can be a real headache, but there are too many pros to overlook.
Paris is a stay-at-home housewifey- and insanely clean (and I'm a lazy slob, but she loves picking up after slobs) - I'm a feeder and she won't eat unless fed (I'll make that girl FAT), we'd both HALVE our rent & bills, and the timespan is limited/set so as not to be awful for anybody.
It's just all kinds of awesome.
My few reservations are heavily outweighed by the pros, and having had a LONG history with Paris, I'm certain our coexistence would be pleasant and profitable.

How to get the overblown sense of entitlement so many people wear like a badge:


When life gives you lemons,
squeeze those fuckers into your eyes
and then rub it around as much as possible.

So it's been a scorching hot, loud-ass weekend.
The families in my neighborhood really go all-out with the dangerous illegal fireworks, cheap beer, and general mayhem.

Hunter and I spent the entire time with every fan in the house pointed straight at us, iceapacks, cold washclothes, and bad movies galore.

We watched a couple awesomely bad movies, including Untraceable a movie about an "internet" serial killer who dispatches his victims using a mechanized system that determines how many people are watching his webcast of death and doom. It was filmed in Portland in the fall (oh yay rain! I remember that stuff!) and has a TON of local landmarks in it, which endeared it to me a little, but all in all it was spectacularly mediocre.

However- we ALSO watched a golden turkey that it would be criminal if I didn't tell you about. That would be The Lost Boys: The Tribe... that's right folks, Lost Boys 2, Electric Boogaloo. WHEEE!
The gore was utterly over the top, the sex scences verged on *were* soft-core pornographic, some band actually covered "Cry Little Sister" for the film, and to top it off, the casting is AMAZING. Not ONLY does it have ANGUS Sutherland (Yep, that's Keifer's (half?) brother- who played a lead baddie in the first Lost Boys) as the antagonist vampire, but they managed to drag Corey Feldman out from whatever rock they had him stashed under to reprise his role as Edgar Frog.
I really enjoyed this movie WAY more than I should have.
Corey Haim even makes a cameo.
Could it get any more awesome?
I think not.
Oh wait, here's a preview.


Hell, I kinda want to watch it again now.


Ok, so I ran around with the neighbor girls taking fireworks photos last night, plus I included some other random stuff.
Enjoy!
( Fireworks and pets )

I live a stone's throw away from this.
These are the kinds of people I talk to every day.
