i will harvest you

+ i've got an interview on thursday. i just might have a way out of the retail hell where i'm currently serving as a bitter lackey to the scaly overlord with a bifurcated tail. it also means i might have a job which does not entail nine hour repetition of the phrase "would you like a bag?"

+ ran into OLD friends/acquaintances at a party hosted by some youngin' lemp arts kids i met last week. brings up those everlasting HOW THE FUCK DID I GET HERE feelings a la a talking heads song without the house and beautiful wife. rather there's lots of alcohol, confusion as to where the people are that meant so much to you a year ago, and, of course, that one creepy guy in the corner who is so obviously insecure with his sexuality that he keeps yelling out "it ain't gay if yr wearin' a condom" every five minutes.

+ one of my greatest accomplishments as of late is following up the black eyes' song deformative with jay-z's dirt off your shoulder. it sounds fucking tight - like chili pepper ice cream for your ears.

+ jessica hopper does it again. a response to this article, the whisper song, the entire cannon of rock/pop music, rock critics everywhere and the patriarchal system as we know it. and THAT is why she is one of my heroes*.
