AussieAri's weblog Edit this message to change the title of your weblog. Monday, September 19, 2005 caio caio Alright alright. I'm off to Italy again- via NYC and points between Marseilles and Berlin. Excited and tired by/about it all. Sunday, September 18, 2005 …that say they want and then can’t handle… "What a strange world it is where you can have as much sex as you like but love is taboo. I’m talking about the real thing, the grand passion, which may not allow affection or convenience or happiness." – The Powerbook, Jeanette Winterson. Meet you in Manhattan, See you in NYC. I won't call it The Big Apple cuz they'll probably kill me. Jennifer and i are now officially trend setters. We've made a lunch date over the phone while both in Santa Fe for Manhattan next week. I'm highly amused by this. We need your money. Bad. We've already worked for it. Hard. Comic book fundraiser for November 5th in the planning.
Chase was trying to tell me there are three Japanese rope bondage masters (i checked it out- he wasn't joking). I was struck simply by the fact that there ARE professional rope bondage masters. I mean what a way to make a living! If anyone was going to have masters of rope bondage though, I trust it to the Japanese. And who suffers because of this? "An artist does not question their right to experience everything in life."
Damn. Had to take the triangle out on Wednesday. The right side had migrated too much and it just wasn’t any fun like that. Damn.
All about The Tube. how you should get around Europe besides the train. Wow, easyjet.com is really ridiculously cheap. Your weekend update I got adopted by a very nice kitten on Friday. Über cuteness ensued. One more way to get messed up. I learnt there was such a thing as spontaneous paralysis. I feel it's existance is awful and wrong.
T.I.A.I.L.W.: The Lady Door from Neil Gaiman’s Neverwhere. Sunday, September 11, 2005
The Michelin map of Italy conveniently lists what blood alcohol level is legal. Speaking from the stomach. Not that all of us need an excuse to be... A friend mentioned that Santa Fe had made her more promiscuous than she ever would have been otherwise elsewhere, or ideally would want herself to be.
Met some of the fine folks at Warehouse 21 today. The boss said ‘We always welcome our neighbors. I mean- they might as well be here!’ in reference to the sound of shows carrying. Yay!
You should really check out Kate's home done tattoo, and the other pictures i posted.
More than anything else in Italy I’m really looking forward to the big buffalo mozzarella salads (you can only get it here at the restaurant Osteria D'Assisi in the spring) with sumptuous olive oil. Not to mention the hearty soups and Tuscan game meat. Useless pop knowledge So did anyone else know that in the NIN music video of ‘The Perfect Drug’ Trent does the absinthe ritual and drinks the stuff down, however he doesn’t do it correctly.
I've had a near compulsive desire to get a pedicure this week. I blame Reagan. For Lindsey, if she's still on the coco kick: Chocolate : A Bittersweet Saga of Dark and Light What *fiesta*? Working fiesta makes fiesta the worst event the entire year. I did console myself with wandering around after work for a bit watching up close and personal as about 10,000 people were in various degrees of intoxication all over down town. Overall getting hit on by drunk people all night long while working security just did not put me in a good mood. I couldn’t stand the thought of having a drink under those circumstances so I tottled home. One more goodbye than i'd like It’s been a week since John and Annie drove back to the east coast. All their possession crammed in their two trucks, Puk along for the ride while Pierce and Jessica drove the white benz. I know in my heart I’ll see them again and I know it was much more good than bad for them to move even if it was tough all round, but- you know. Good people being close to you is a hard thing to let go of. Particularly when the place you are in seems to be losing a lot of these such people.
Once again I’m going to take a smart idea from Mir-Mir’s book and start using some rot13 cypher for posts which are perhaps of a more sensitive nature. I’m planning ahead for the lawsuits already. Know your rights online and stuff. Recent readings that are sticking: "These nights were secret, and of the whole summer they were the most important time. In the dark she walked by herself and it was like she was the only person in town. Almost every street came to be as plain to her in the nighttime as her own home block. Some kids were afraid to walk through strange places in the dark, but she wasn’t. Girls were scared a man would come out from somewhere and put his teapot in them like they was married. Most girls were nuts. If a person the size of Joe Louis or Mountain Man Dean would jump out at her and want to fight she would run. But is it was somebody within twenty pounds her weight she would give him a good sock and go right on.
Edward’s (A-SF '03) music sure is mighty cool. No fooling. One for your resume Somehow they got Gene Hackman to narrate the new DVD story of Zozobra. *snicker* grumbles of defeat Steepings is going out of business. The story is the same as all the other local places going down the drain- not enough revenue getting pulled. comics of course. A local who does music and comics.
"Don’t drink and dial" –from Mels many words of drinking wisdom. sassy machine. you know my motorcycle gets into more bar fights than I even get to see. Waste of (internet) space I remember finding pro-anorexia sites when I was high school. Annie mentioned it recently as we were discussing adolescent girls over ‘Reviving Ophelia’. I had the same reaction to it then as I have now. And then though it’s entirely not helpful, I’d really like to dip them in butter and throw them to the bulldaggas. Thursday, September 8, 2005 My comicing song: The Talking Head’s- ‘Found A Job’ Not to be dramatic or anything... This world is full of cowards because this world is full of broken people. Yeah, you know it. So B.C. 7000 (because I refuse to say ‘Baaaadassss Comics’) is getting it goin’ and here’s the proof.
I was painfully reminded of a physical activity I hate more than running, my least favorite activity. I got persuaded to stay for the kick boxing workout after jiu jitsu class which was all well and good…until they began doing rotations between roundhouse kicking a bag and jumping rope. I loath jump rope. I ended up leaving half was through that section of the work out I was so disgusted.
"This is not my true self; this is the work I am doing to heal and get to my real self" For the rubber stamp told me so... "Art needs solitude misery or passion."
John and Jeanne are engaged! The odd thing was that as I was driving up to see Jeanne, I happened to be thinking of Johnnies who have got married to one another (not tutor-tutor or tutor-student though) and they popped into my head as a couple that could and should get married. Besides, like so many married couples their names both start with the same letter.
One of my particular pleasures here in Fe is to stick my head out into the monsoon rains and only my head. The rain trickle down my face. My skin heats up the droplets of water. And yeah it looks particularly senseless.
A tattoo of the mountain range across a person's back. Erin was telling me… She had this idea she needed to make a lot of money and give it away. For this reason she thought about law school but realized how unsuited for it she was. And that’s why she’s a stripper.
I should really figure out exactly who my neighbors are. Some folks next door or maybe down the way seem to be having an impromptu family dance party. The marriachi music suddenly fanfares up and they shout and clap along for a single song and then it dies down.
Walking to and from work again, I’m making an effort to learn the short cuts and detours. I got stopped by Hotrod who was tagging along for a ride in the front of a cop cruiser, I dipping into the Cowgirl to change into uniform and I used Pete’s digital for all kind of photography or anything at all that caught my eye as well as reference pictures.
