he also asked me if i wanted to help him sell electronics

yesterday i met an iranian jew from new york - accompanied by the cutest, most obedient dog - who believed that he was being possessed by a female alien. when asked why he thought she was female, he responded, "because she never stops talking!" burn.

also i was so tempted to ask if he lived in queens. racial profiling?

WAIT AND ALSO he asked if i knew "the secret of persian girls." what

i'm devoting my day to wearing heels and finding a guy wearing ysl homme cologne.

I MISS IAN

this little spot of sunshine is at nyu right now and i miss the fuck out of him. i reallllllllly wish he was going to be here for halloween at least so we can get really drunk and scream things at calartians but you can't always get what you want, you know?

i've decided that i'm going to spend the rest of my life in these see by chloe pants (i don't fuck with the stirrup straps, though).

p.s. if you're into photography (lol) get up on that monster children issue number 23: the photo issue - featuring some pretty dope photo websites, an interview with a guy about his crown victoria, a photograph of some stubbed-out gauloise blondes (mmm), and kate moss' nipple.

ATTN: WEIRDOS OF THE WORLD

do not ask to kiss my hand because the answer from now on is no

that's pretty much all i have to say right aside from "i'm fucking exhausted" and "real post later, probably sunday"

booksssss
$ younger than jesus published by steidl for the new museum
$ the book of genesis: illustrated by r. crumb
$ the best american comics 2009 edited by charles burns

so far: younger than jesus (the companion book to the new museum's exhibit of the same name, wherein all artists exhibited were born in or after 1975) is really interesting, i haven't started the book of genesis yet, and i don't understand why i even buy the best american comics year after year.

speaking of, ucla is going crumb-crazy over the next month, apparently: "the bible illuminated: r. crumb's book of genesis" exhibit opens at the hammer on the 24th, r. crumb speaks at royce hall on the 29th, and the hammer screens crumb on november 3rd. i'm currently undecided as to whether this is a good thing.

also, the louvre is getting a mcdonald's.

is pizza

we are 13 years old and we don't give a fuck

also (and i found this on spencer's facebook), why is the denny's allnighter website SO GOOD?

from "Siesta in Xbalba" by Allen Ginsberg

Dreaming back I saw
an eternal kodachrome
souvenir of a gathering
of souls at a party,
crowded in an oval flash:
cigarettes, suggestions,
laughter in drunkeness,
broken sweet conversation,
acquaintance in the halls,
faces posed together,
stylized gestures
odd familiar visages
and singular recognitions
that registered indifferent
greeting across time:
Anson reading Horace
with a rolling head,
white-handed Hohnsbean
camping gravely
with an absent glance,
bald Kingsland drinking
out of a huge glass,
Dusty in a party dress,
Durgin in white shoes
gesturing from a chair,
Keck in a corner waiting
for subterranean music,
Helen Parker lifting
her hands in surprise:
all posturing in one frame,
superficially gay
or tragic as may be,
illumed with the fatal
character and intelligent
actions of their lives.

"analogous to the hip-hop version of the departed: filled with virtuosic star-studded performances, heavily indebted to asian cinema, and tweaking rather than transforming a timeless aesthetic."

well, the blueprint 3 is more or less a disappointment but at least only built 4 cuban linx...part ii is really good.

i could be sleeping

today i consolidated my wardrobe - getting rid of two chests of drawers and most of their contents - so i could fit my new bookcase/shelving unit in my room. it's no big deal - i've been meaning to get rid of a lot of clothes and the bookcase provided me with a reason to. i also found the copy of notes from the underground + the grand inquisitor that i've been looking for for the past two years.

a pretty boring weekend has become a pretty boring week. nothing's going on so i don't have anything to post about - just baking and new bookshelves and falling asleep on people's couches and maxfield being home and brian going back to the army and not being in the mood to drink and everyone doing xanax and car accidents and lots of salad and listening to a lot of nobunny and preparing for cold weather, whenever the fuck it decides to get here.

i'm excited for the ~terror tower~ party on friday. it'll be good to see some calartians i haven't seen all summer as wellllllllll as maggie's new apartment (and leopard-print snuggie).

also i got a blackbird, fly camera (basically a toy tlr camera). so stoked a shoot a bunch of rolls and then toss them in the bucket of film i will probably never develop.

report

fuck yeah fest sucked. i hated the coachella set-up and the name change and the general atmosphere this year. if i had payed full price i would have been really fucking upset. lightning bolt was definitely the highlight, though.

some shows and shit

$ os mutantes at amoeba, 8 sept
$ flying lotus, daedelus, gaslamp killer, post-foetus at the henry fonda, 12 sept
$ vivian girls, lucky dragons at the smell, 13 sept
$ teenage jesus & the jerks, mika miko, urinals, lamps at the el rey, 7 oct
$ part-time punks festival at the echo, 11 sept
$ wavves at the echoplex, 17 oct
$ broadcast, atlas sound at the troubadour, 4 nov

fuck yeah fest is today. i've been waiting all month and now i'm not even as excited as i was before. i just realized that i've seen almost every band that i was going there to see (and in quite a few cases, seen them several times). it should be fun anyway.

i'm fucking hungry. i would love a belgian waffle right now or anything breakfasty. i've been truly slacking in the breakfast department and i miss it.

anyway i'm going to stop boring the internet and go look for my other soma and listen to guided by voices until hunger outweighs my laziness
