Subject:vi's venus
Time:10:22 am.
blind, deaf and has arthritis,
so she wobbles around the house and runs into walls.
and she's lost control of her bowels so she poops everywhere.

very sad to see her go from a spunky puppy
to a very old lady,

but i love her all the same.




venus loves vi very much.
it was really sweet to see her stumbling around smelling ankles trying to find vi.
and when she did,
her tail would wag excitedly.

This is, hands down, the darkest comedy sketch I've ever seen.

And I love it, even though I'm going to hell for laughing.

Subject:Laos: on the road
Time:11:45 pm.
Waiting for the zyrtec to kick another. Another bout of hives and a what is now, a regular battle against insomnia. I feast on honey dipped, plaintain chips.


Many a days, the skies were covered in grey. The feel of cool raindrops dancing on our skin were welcomed, a nice break from the hot, humidity of Laos.

Subject:A topic from a long time ago: Handclaps
Posted by:moaningminnie.
Time:2:13 pm.
Music:Frightened Rabbit: Swim Until you can't see land.
I remember many moons ago looking on this community and seeing a wonderful topic - Handclaps. It was this topic which introduced me to one of my all time favourite songs "Recovery" by New Buffalo, and I'd like to give something back to everyone on the same topic!

I recently heard this song by Just Jack from the album "All Night Cinema" (http://www.amazon.co.uk/All-Night-Cinema-Just-Jack/dp/B001Q8WLOS). Just Jack is an English guy, and has pretty much done all writing and production on this album. It's just great. About this song, Amazon says "Lead-off single “Embers” proves that some pretty moving productions are within his grasp, an emotive production of dancing violins, hand-claps, and harmonies that overlay in beautiful patterns"

This is a wonderful description, and for me the handclaps build the song up into something awesome. Let me know if the link dies and I'll re-upload. And let me know if you like! (:

mylai
Subject:she wears short skirts, i wear tee-shirts
Time:1:03 pm.
peter, miguel, linda and i made a lot of fond memories during the first half of high school,
cloaked in bed sheets running around the playground at mt. diablo pretending to be vampires,
learning how to chain smoke while reenacting scenes from reservoir dogs,
mobbin' around the southbay in linda's mazda...

i'm in san jose for the weekend to catch up with old friends
so i tried to get 3/4 of us together (since linda is off in l.a. somewhere being famous),
but we couldn't get a hold of miguel so it was just gonna be me and pete.

and then the other day, vi says,
"there's an art exhibit in downtown if you guys wanna hit it up with us."
so i checked out the flyer and miguel was the first artist listed. kismet!

it's strange to be back in san jose, with friends i haven't seen for years, who've never left,
who've endured such hardships (and i mean, incredible hardships) and overcame them
only to shine.


miggy doing what he does best.




peter is still the quirky, sweet guy he's always been.





the three of us, many years later.


since we were in downtown, nate and i decided to make a quick stop at la victoria's
to pick up a bottle of their special sauce... something i've been craving since i left many years ago.

Subject:Blue Friday
Time:12:49 am.
Ben left this morning for the weekend. Gone till Monday. To Shreve-fucking-port, pobrecito. We're hardly attached at the hip or anything like that when he's home, but when he's gone I feel it acutely. And he feels my absence, so he reports, when he's away. It was an almost tearful farewell this morning when he left.

I had no plans for this evening except that whatever plans I made I wanted no or very-little alcohol to be involved.

Kristin tweeted about a folksy show Uptown — a performance by the Oakland-based Moore Brothers. After listening to some music on their website, I deemed them harmonically competent and opted in for the show. I was, after all, craving music with actual real live harmony.

Ben took the car to Shreve-fucking-port, so I took the streetcar for the first time in I-can't-remember-how-long. Been years, I'm sure. I used to like the streetcar. The rickety rattles, harsh lurches, clinks, clanks and clunks.

I forgot that getting a streetcar on a Friday at 9 at Canal St. is a thing of not to be of the doing. Boisterous woo-hoo'age a-go-go. No seats. Girls Gone Mild frotting me with no subtlety to speak of. The car was late, and the moment everyone piled onto it, an empty one showed up right behind us. Too late to switch.

At Louisiana Ave., ours stopped for 20 minutes, then we were all told to board the one behind us. Another 15 minutes later we were on our merry way again.

I got to the venue and the boys tuning their guitars were not the Moore Brothers. "Oh well," I thought, "I'm here. A cup of coffee and some singing might be nice."

They didn't entirely suck, but harmonics was beyond their musical realm. Tonic, dom, sub-dom, repeat, seemed to be as far as they got in music school.

The Moore Brothers ended up play Baton Rouge instead, it seems. I could have gotten there and back quicker (if I had a car, that is).

I left after playing my anagram game on my iPhone on a sofa, walked back to St. Charles and waited about an hour for another streetcar.

A nice, filthy-mouthed dishwasher from one of the Uptown Bluehair restaurants waited with me for the last 15 minutes, leavening my mood a bit with his vituperative jeremiads re: N.O. public transit. Sing it, sistah!

An incredibly stinky ride home. "It's called Speed Stick. It's not es'pensive…"

A walk down Bourbon wherein I stepped in a)vomit, b)piss, c)what I hope was dog excrement. I "washed" my boots off in pissy, vomity, daiquiri-hued gutter water and went to see Micha at Monaghan's for a soul-booster.

Home now, still wanting music with actual well-thought-out harmony, so I'm listening to Beethoven.

Maybe a glass of red wine, some backlogged Mad Men, and an early bed.

Reading of [info]docbrite's Amsterdam travels on LJ and her Twatterings is making me jealous for a little Eurojaunt.

I keep having to remind myself that on Tuesday we leave for Madrid. Why Madrid? Because the tix were too cheap to pass up. And I need one more semi-long flight this year to get platinum status on AA, which is very valuable in that you earn double miles, better chances at upgrades, and other perks. It was from being platinum last year that scored us free first class tix to Thailand and, in March of '10, free first class to Australia.

Plus, hello, Madrid? MUCH? Ben found us a cheap hotel in the gayborhood. All the yummy Spanish eye candy you can eat. And there is no candy sweeter than the Spanish.

That should be brightening up my mood, but I remain sullen and blue. I just want my husband-elect back. Now.

A metro station's escalator in NYC

Got a Hello today from Roberta, the girl I sat next to on the plane years ago. She's in college now and still traveling the globe from Italy.

What an interesting world we live in.

Had a full-on zero sleep the other night. The insomina's creeping back. Wondering why, but suppose it's just the way it is with me sometimes.

Saw the rents the other day and stopped by the local Asian supermarket for cheap produce and such. Saw a lotta non-asians there; laughed to myself only cause I can hardly make heads nor tails outta anything - then again, maybe they're all Asian scholars.

Can only imagine onea them picking up say a durian and going, "Why don't I give this a shot?"

A lotta young people too bouncing around. That's cool, that they're willing to shop in a joint where the only English spoken's with an accent.

Speaking of younger people, a lotta them're convinced that all Republicans're evil and that good things'll happen if everyone's a Democrat.

Which is not to say that the Republicans haven't bungled the last several years of power, they have. And there're d-bags and hypocrites on both sidesa the fence.

But the fence's sorta my point. There needs to be conflict to make things the way they're supposedta be. Y'know what y'get when you only have one party supported by millions of fanatical young people that are absolutely certain their cause is just, their party righteous?

China. Y'get China.

Love being Chinese but I cannot stand China. The government's as thuggish and vile as y'can get.

Nietzxche once said that "Convictions are more dangerous enemies of truth than lies." The key to not being a jerk is by accepting that y'might be wrong.

On that note, suppose I should really try a durian onea these days.

we had a gang of scooters parked out front for a scene here... curious passer bys were wondering what we were doing. who are these young kids with a tall american holding a giant boom microphone?

i have to stand there and pretend i know what i am doing...because really all i can do is feel it out and run with it. this was probably one of the most fun nights.

we had only found the location the night before, and just simply asked the owners if we could shoot there. no permits needed! they hung around watching us with smiles, and when we wrapped there at midnight, they still served us cold drinks.

all we had in exchange were thank yous and a hope to immortalize them forever. every time we walked by after that, they would just greet us with a "ni hao" and smiles.

there is always more... but where does one begin?
