About Me

"...we must articulate (our dreams), or else we're all cows in a field."

My Interests

everything is still fucked up with me. more than it was before.

I'd like to meet:

Scarlett Johansson.

Music:

black metal. psychedelic shit. drone. noise. epic post rock/instrumental stuff. any various interpolations of these.

Movies:

a handful of my favorite directors:sofia coppola. orson welles. jim jarmusch. werner herzog. todd solondz. david cronenberg. wes anderson. the coen brothers. ingmar bergman. terry gilliam. stanley kubrick. lars von trier.

Television:

home movies. aqua teen hunger force. sealab 2021. six feet under. the wire. the sopranos. curb your enthusiasm. seinfeld. deadwood. carnivale. all the Law and Order shows (i especially like SVU). futurama. family guy. south park. the simpsons. the office. and, believe it or not, but i'm hooked on it: the apprentice.

Books:

one of the better things lately is that i have been able to actually get through some books. right now i'm in the middle of a bunch of stuff- "God is not Great" by Christopher Hitchens, "LA Noir" by James Ellroy, a collection of books by Peter Sotos which is beyond anything i've ever read and i'm just starting "The Watchmen" by Alan Moore.

Heroes:

these people have changed the way i think about things and do them...King Buzzo, Todd Solondz, Bret Easton Ellis, Alan Ball...so i guess they sort of qualify.

sadness patterns

it just repeats itself. an average night is thus: start drinking. establish drunkeness. eat some dinner while watching some movie that i've seen a billion times and therefore don't h...

some good stuff for once

so at this point the show with Nadja is 100% a go. It will be on March 29th, 9pm-2am at the Belfry Center, which i guess is a collective art/DIY space in Minneapolis. There is an art event...

the US dollar sucks

there will be blood/sweeney todd

a day of film intake, as i saw both. "there will be blood" is a towering masterpiece of film. pt anderson further asserts his genius status in my mind. even though the subject matter is radically d...

youth without youth

in an effort to try and subvert my depression i went out this afternoon after blowing off work and saw Francis Ford Coppola's "Youth Without Youth." I'm a sucker for all the Coppolas as director...

i guess it ends like this

all i'm really left with is a sort of depressing mystification, wondering what the fuck i did that made things go so badly. i don't really think i did anything, which is what makes the whole thing fe...

it all fell apart

somehow i managed to ruin yet another thing that could have been good. i don't know why people don't like me, or why i am so fucking undateable. i really wanted this to work out, alas it d...
