and where the fuck

was my invitation to this party?

I'm having a party! A mini pity party, that is. Turns out I'm going to be in Portland the night Failure is playing there, but I won't be able to go because I'll be in a hotel room with my kid and no one else to watch her. This will be the 4th concert I've been close enough to touch and not attending since she was born, and it's making me selfishly sad. I wouldn't trade situations, obviously, but it would have been less hurtful if it didn't have to be THAT night they were in Portland. Meh.

I'm at the Peter Murphy show and there's a quiet spot and you hear this deep southern "FUCK YEAHH"

And Murphy says in his quaint British accent "yeah that's what this show needs, because this is a fuck yeahh kind of show"

then does his best trucker "fuckkk yeah"

laughed so hard

classic LCD Soundsystem!

classic mischievous mals!

i taught an ESL class by myself for the first time tonight. i felt so ill-prepared that i printed some class curriculum suggestions, but i didn't even use them since it flowed pretty well and went as planned. i had 4 students--all beginners--and, uh, it was great. i observed an old white guy teaching last week and he seemed a little condescending (and his lesson was all over the fucking place) to the students and his Spanish was better than mine.

i volunteered for a rape crisis hotline and there were actually a few fucks (lame dudes) that would call and make up stories for reactions and we were most certainly sure of it, but in the off-chance it MIGHT NOT be a joke, we had to take it seriously while also sensitively and seriously pressing for info until it wasn't fun for them anymore.

get real or get real.

ad hoc dinner of sweet potatoes w/ ginger and lemon and a side of chickpeas w/ spinach.

i went to the grocery school today and bought a cuke, red lentils, broccoli, and pumpkin seeds. i thought i would use them tonight for something but nah. i think i am in the beginning stages of making a concerted effort to cut down or eliminate completely any packaged food and juices from my diet. i just won't buy any more food that comes in a box or is cooked for me already.

needed change for a 5 yesterday and went to 7-11 and only bought an orange (usually i would never buy an orange from 7-11). overpriced, but i needed the change rill bad and didn't want to buy a bag of chips.

actually, i haven't made the dinner. just sitting here thinking about it.

ok

why is half this board now foolf and mals spamming in conjunction with each other

is there some sort of problem? you lookin' to start something?

because it's the way GOD (Billy Corgan) willed it to be, you son of a bitch!

feel free to contest us by way of spamming yer little third tier post-punk-pop jangle bands cos lord knows we could use a little healthy competition!

shit just one strum of a takeshi/wata downtuned power chord would blast all those bands into utter oblivion

case and point

It does end up feeling a little like when Reggaeluv2000 was posting.

Saw these cats at Ozzfest, same year Sabbath and Slayer played. Hell of a year. HELL OF A YEAR.

one of the main reasons this board is utterly unreadable these days

:(

There is this band White Lies playing an instore ons of these days in my town. This reminded me of a certain poster, but i forgot who

I think White Lies compare very good to some other band I would not go see though

And yes, acknowledging memory loss hurts

I won't deny the pain
