I saw on your blog your mention of "Heads Will Roll" by the Yeah Yeah Yeahs so I thought I'd share with you that that song is going to be in our (Booniez) upcoming set and I'M the one who choreographed to it! Yaaaaay! :D Can't wait for you to see it. :)
I met your brother last night... first he tried selling me an actual pot for 100 bucks then he was going to town about philosophy stuff, he's hilarious! haha
do you still work at albertsons by four corners? i just started working at inksanity across the street. you should come say hello. i'll style you up and we can get some brews at the fat cat tavern next door...
Worse. I lost my wallet. I had to replace my LA County library card
as well. Both cards were free initially but it cost me $5.50 to
replace them. Yeesh! Well, it's over now. Have you started A Moveable Feast yet?
I got it! I finally got it! I had to return an overdue book, pay a hefty fine, get a new library card, and actually find the book (it was in the non-fiction section) but A Moveable Feast is in my possession. Let's get this show on the road!
I'm game. A Moveable Feast it is then. Another Lost Generation author, eh? Do I detect a pattern here? Oscar Wilde, we hardly knew ye. There were a few other lines I absolutely had to record however: "Men marry because they are bored; women, because they are curious; both are disappointed." And, "Children begin by loving their parents; as they grow older they judge them; sometimes they forgive them."
True statement. I'd like to remedy that though. I'm hard pressed to pick a favorite line from the book. Virtually everything Lord Henry says is worth jotting down. Whether it is right or not is beside the point, it's just so damn clever! I had to bore my brother with a verbatim reading of the dialogue between him, Dorian and the Duchess of Monmouth. You should be grateful I limited myself to that one line. I've read On the Road a few times already. Are you quite set on reading that next? How's A Tree Grows in Brooklyn? Maybe we could pick some other book - The Heart is a Lonely Hunter, perhaps?
"I believe he thinks that Monmouth married me on purely scientific
principles as the the best specimen he could find of a modern
butterfly." I can easily imagine you saying something like this. Did this line jump out at you as well? Well, EF, if you hadn't guessed already, I've finished Dorian at long last. So, what shall we read next? I'm thinking Dharma Bums by Kerouac. Unless you've started on something else?
