Up too early...

Hardy har har. I do take my time. I've been posting on the HellYa! blog so thats where this shiz has been.

I slept like shit last night, Codeine apparently just gets you high but doens't help you sleep. I got up at 2:45am and checked email. If you know me, you know that's NOT normal.

I'm off to Tulsa today with my pals to Dfest. I went last year and had a blast. They have wine slushies, yeah no joke. Its like a slurpie that gets you drunken monken. I have no qualms with this, especially in the insane humidity that will be Tulsa, Oklahoma.

Looking forward to seeing Other Lives in Tulsa. Beautiful shtuff. Okay I'm off to showere (ew.)

I'll leave you with this video I love:

In Love Again

I went to Cinespace last night, sadly bereft of any celebrity sighting besides the designer-wearing chap from that new show Glee (which I found mildly entertaining...we'll see if they can pick it up storywise.)

No I did not see the MTV Movie Awards although apparently a kid I know peed next to Hugh Jackman for (oddly) the second time in a year and drunkenly brought up this fact while at the urinal. Smart move Jason. Apparently Mr. Wolverine was slightly creeped.

I've always found the intimacy of urinals to be quite ironic and super curious. It just seems so...bare? Vulnerable? PERSONAL? Yet its clearly a representation of masculinity in America, and absolutely accepted as not-weird.

Anyway, point is, obviously after yawning at the Eminem-Sasha-Ballsinface controversy, I did find my way to the New Moon trailer which...oops there I go...need to watch it again. Berightback.



Best snack of the day:

The Lonely Forest- We Sing In Time

Yeah...trolling Myspace is really worth my time.

For your next big night out, definitely get your outfit from this designer.

Adventures on Thursday

Some days its fun, and some days its just funny.

Like for instance, this demo submission. I just...I don't even know what to say? Its so awesomely strange. Please witness the wonder that is this Alaskan duo.

I mean, wow. Sometimes humans are REALLY confusing. I'm not sure if I appreciate the earnestness or if I'm just apalled at our capacity for believing our own crap. Or worse, looking so hard for meaning that we'll really just get so far out there that we are unrecognizable to society.

I suppose that's the fodder for meaningful (and successful) documentaries.

Maybe its worse to be aware of the comedy factor, its rarely actually funny when you realize how much of the sad cliches apply to literally every human.

Anyway, something positive? Something interesting? Haha. Well I will show you something pretty from new moon: yum. Sorry boys, that one is not for you unless you are in fact on the...achem...boy-team. You know what I mean.

Holy awesome Big-tasticness.

Donnie Darko 2 and also What Is My Problem

Riddle me this: How long does iTunes think it can charge $2.99 for one episode of ANYTHING? Not to mention movies being $15 on there.

Sheesh. Not to mention an iTunes "rental" you have month to use it, it DOESN'T go on your iTunes (hello? that was the point so I would have something to watch at the gym!) and it isn't super cheap in the first place.

Either way, this complaining really doesn't make up for the fact that the movie I did in fact rent and plan to try to watch this evening is Donnie Darko 2. I mean seriously?! What is wrong with me?

A. Thats a classic, and a cult one at that.

B. Sequels are wrong. Sequels are especially wrong when in relationship to see point A.

I'll report back and hopefully its not an abortion of a movie like that hell show Terminator Salvation. I WANT MY MONEY BACK MOTHERFUCKERS. DO YOU HEAR ME!

Dredg

Thank goodness for awesome bands like Dredg. I am one of the lucky few (except thats not true because it leaked I think) that have the new record. My friend produced it and I was so lame as to text him after I heard it and say "I know this is nerdy but I'm proud of you." I think he told me to go fuck myself or something, but I meant the compliment.

I was late on the Dredg train I must admit, but back when I was working for Velvet Hammer I ended up going to see them at the Avalon not really knowing what I was getting into. I remember watching them from the sidestage just completely slackjawed at how good they were, and watching the crowd lose their minds. 

The next time I "met" them was last year at Coachella where I couldn't find a bathroom and peed in their trailer thingy. I remember being in the bathroom and being like "holy shit I'm peeing in DREDGS toilet!!! How cool!!" 

After some real hangage, I've come to love the band as people and it makes the new record even that much sweeter. Fucking psyched for tonight at the Troubadour. 

In other news, I am addicted to The Guggenheim Grotto's "Fee Da Da Dee" so it must be listened to IMMEDIATELY.
