I wish there was a Pride and Prejudice with Morrissey as Mr. Darcy.
Funny Games sucked pretty bad. One of the most boring and annoying films I’ve ever seen.

Me and Kahlo

Helped Rachel move into her new place yesterday. Contemplated my robot body as I trudged back and forth in the snow. It sucked as much as moving sucks but no more. I think the relative calm of the affair bodes well.
Even as a fan of John Waters and given my tolerance for weird, I can’t stop thinking about how strange the movie Desperate Living was, and it’s been a couple of days. Enjoyed being introduced to Liz Renay. “I sleep in the room next to you! Naked!”
Crunk and grime, thats my bloodline.
Listening to some great IDM by AOKI Takamasa. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=4ErAGGJdwCQ Reminds me of Dumb Type and makes me wish I could see it set to interpretive dance. http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=kZ5uGjjAvNI So beautiful.

I’ve decided to maintain Twitter and Facebook as separate streams. I’m not sure what this means yet, but it does make things complicated.
1. It is a glorious day – my parents now have wireless broadband. 2. I don’t know why I love Taco Cabana so much, but I do. 3. Texas is a lot colder than you think. 4. Sherlock Holmes made me wish magic was real. This universe is boring.
Just passed the huge cross in Effingham. Almost home. Not nearly as scary around here as I thought it would be. Texas was fun.

On the road from Greater Chicago to New Orleans. #
A toll booth worker was changing CDs and I noticed she had one in her hand that said "Love Songs" in black permanent marker. #
I'm on Bourbon St. looking for some place to eat. #
It's yucky, dreary and rainy in New Orleans. I'm on Magazine St. #
The weather is so nice, warm and wonderful today. Sure could have used it yesterday in New Orleans rather than while driving to Texas. #

I can't stop listening to Aaliyah feat. Timbaland – "We Need A Resolution." http://bit.ly/4uFdRY #
"If there is any town this world would be better without this is it." Dogville was intense. Now I know how Jehovah felt during the flood. #
A big part of the reason I don't blog anymore is the vast amount of material I'm RSSubscribed to but don't read. Status updates do the job. #

At the centre of my ironic faith, my blasphemy, is the image of the cyborg. #
Clearly, I haven't done work in a coffee shop in a while. I didn't think to bring my headphones, and there's a babbling baby next to me. #
I'm so glad I made a back up before taking my computer in for minor repairs. Restoring from SuperDuper was a snap. Do you back up regularly? #
Postmodern koan: "It's an entire town of nothing but suburbs." #

"Sometimes I think I'd rather have my leg amputated than have a small cut." What a weirdo. #

I am not lisning to your rules. #
Thinking about the relationship between polysemy and subjectivity is blowing my mind. In other news I think I'm in love with Beyonce. #
I'm terribly sad. Few minutes late to local performance of Hedwig and the Angry Inch and was unable to get in. ( ; _ ; ) #
I feel like Bound is a better version of Blood Simple. #

Now that I have a Canon EOS Digital Rebel XSi with a Canon EF 50mm f/1.4 USM lens I'm ashamed of every other picture I've ever taken. #
Yes, I saw 2012. Yes, I'm embarrassed. Yes, it was much more entertaining than I expected it to be. I identified with the bad guy Anheuser. #
I'm starting to think that IS the point of Google Wave. // RT @TheLazyVampire I have Google Wave and I have no idea what to do with it. #
Visual anthropologist Ramey here at #aaa09 made the good point that people will labor to understand books but expect films to be easy. #
Great paper at #aaa09 by Elizabeth Roberts on how c-section scars are used to mark class among Ecuadorean women. #
I asked someone to friend me on Twitter and if she retweeted a text message I sent her. Can't decide if I'm being sloppy or avant-garde. #

HeteroQueer: straight identified individual, open minded about falling in love with any gender, primarily socializes in LGBT circles. #
Reality feels like watching a recording. That means I've been consuming too much YouTube. Also a product of, "Should I be recording this?" #
