kiss me black

keep your dreams

it's almost five in the morning
i am covered in sweat and beer
my hands smell like bleach
and i wouldn't mind if you were here
smoking cigarettes and listening to suicide with me...

beast of burden

i am taking a one week vacation from all food made of or derived from animals.
i went to whole foods and loaded up on all kinds of stuff and read a whole bunch of labels.
being vegan is expensive.
also i think being vegan will give me gas.

sloopy hang on

el jeffe

crushed by a truck

spank rock being great

amanda blank brought down the house. everyone went nuts for her. straight bonkers. my favorite female mc right now.


the br reade and you don't stop.


caught someone else's flash

safety first! the sweaty car ride home, well cactus for carne asada and carnitas tacos, then home.

all in all a great night. the most hip hop i've had in, gosh, years.
first spankrock at spaceland, then the brother reade party.
i love br and listen to them regularly but have never seen them live till lastnight.
i was impressed.
also impressive is the Rabbit Tusk team taking the Futsal championship and winning the trip to Brazil.
Congratulations!!! yay.

yo yo yo yo yo yo

spankrock killin' it

be good to me

happy birthday

i don't know why he was in the bed of my truck but i don't think he liked me very much.

neither did he.

hung out with some nice girls and the goldmine shithouse then some silly drunk boys, one very drunk bird, and one mean boy and crushed a candy in his shoe.
i totally forgot i did that till this morning.
total school yard mentality.
i'm not proud of it.

catapiller

walking home from panty raid
so many crunchy leaves on the ground
took me back to when i was 13 years old
it would take me an hour to walk home two blocks from my jr. high
because i had to step on every crunchy leaf.
obsessive maybe. but it was more cathardic.
i never looked up. just down, zig zaging through the sidewalk
picking which leaves to stomp, which to leave.
never thinking about how i had no friends
how everybody hated me
how i hated myself
how my parents never talked to me
except when they were yelling
how i was stuck, i didn't want to die
but i certainly didn't want to live my stupid life...
none of it. just leaves, the sounds they made.
during the next few years i will have picked up
a few more ticks and loose them again.
except for the sniffling... that's the only one that stayed.

nowhere girl

man where was my camera today?
tiny hobos doing cartwheels across a crosswalk, hand painted anti abortion mobile (ford taurus wagon with "let the little stinker live" across the back sandwiched by a couple of fetus'), skeletons of cars heaped atop one another...

ran around downtown doing production chores with nathan.
to show him all the spots for when he takes over production.
laughed A LOT.
drove around singing flesh for lulu and gene loves jezebel songs,
flock of and cure songs over shabu shabu. nerdy? sure. but it felt really good.
oh, and after shabu shabu, as i'm driving, nathan gets up and points his ass out the window
and farts.
class act that one. i nearly crashed.

then to the bone yard for car windows. i felt like a john the way all these dudes were flagging me down once they saw my "custom" window, a plastic garment bag held on with packing tape. realized we were both currently obsessed with the same awful song (rihanna, s.o.s.) and deemed it our summer 06 song.

then met up with baby earl for a movie, bad food, and good conversation.
art school confidential...meh. kind of funny.

the industrial part of downtown is really beautiful. maybe because it is completely foreign to me? to most. forgotten. the la river. i want to explore it more.
xo,
