Mickey Rooney Rourke will always be Bukowski somehow. Hearing him thank his dogs reminded me of whatshisface from Survivor.
I watched Gonzo last night, and felt close to HST again.
Bought teh husband a new 4track, since the cats broke his old 8track. [Funny story -- we use an army helmet for the shade on our naked lady lamp that doesn't work, and the cats knocked it over, and it shattered the lcd thingy and popped a few twirly buttons off.] It's Boss. [That's the brand.]
Jolie Holland's voice is interesting. Dennis Wilson's voice is heartbreaking.
I enjoy watching M*A*S*H more than any other tv show. I have the box set.
I got a new Polaroid digital camera for solstice. It is making me happy on a daily basis. I need to upload.
I had a dream about David Bowie a few weeks ago that was crazy. It involved Bowie teaching a creative writing class that I took, and then decades later, him reciting back to me a poem I wrote for it. Plus, there was a moment where people were racing hamsters in hamster balls down a hill from my past in the dark.
I like the "People You May Know" feature of myspace. Because I may well know them.
I just ordered something on Amazon that I've wanted for nearly a decade -- the Vertigo tarot set. Merry Christmas to me.
The car is probably going to be his after all. But that's ok.
I stood over a plumber today who was redoing the walls around our bathtub. I had to make sure that he didn't steal my keys [last time, they changed our locks after the plumber came and went].
We are buying a friend's car in a few days. A little grey volvo. It will be my car, although my husband thinks it will be his car.
I bought The Graveyard Book the other day and am half way through it. 'Tis good. [Winding sheet?]
I also bought red nail polish and some tights from Forever 21 [or XXI Forever, they're changing their logo and now I'm confused].
Am going to pick up the 'rents from the airport in about an hour. I envy their trip to the pyramids. It's somewhere I've always been fascinated with. I did probably ten school projects on Egypt throughout the years. One involved aliens and sugar cubes.
This was my second year going camping with the Camping Circus, and I got the hang of it this time. I only peed on myself once in the woods, for instance. I cooked many many hotdogs, smoked packs and packs of cigarettes, and came home with Frisbuzz Shoulder. I could have stayed there all month, jumping only on big rocks with Mal, doing shots of whiskey with Mike, playing horseshoes with Scott, seeing bison with April, and playing Ha around the fire with everyone. It was a fantastically laid back group, and it was a much-needed vacation for me.
I stood in line at the library for early voting twice and left because I got bored, and knew I could put it off. I went camping at LBL on Wednesday and came back on Sunday thinking "remember to vote Tuesday." I spent Monday wondering if the lines would be long. Last election, there weren't any lines. Election before that, there was a very short line. Tuesday rolled around, and I climbed out of bed at 8am and drove the two blocks to the elementary school with NPR telling me about 3hr lines, hoping I would be out by 11 to go to work. I was back home by 8:15 [it took me more time to fill out a questionairre for "the news" than to actually vote]. I went to work, then to a bar, then to some friends' to watch the results come in. The champagne was popped in celebration of finally voting for someone who won.
Not for the least reason, I voted for Obama b/c of his speeches. I'm really hopeful that there really will be change, and that this crazy country will turn itself around.
