Fishroxy & Supertwins

I have always thought that if I had one of these boards, I would not mind the atrociously cold Pacific and winter waves that would eat me alive. But, these things are expensive, so I'm going to remain afraid

50 years ago

Man created the Pantom Chair.






The phantom chair F4...creepy, but I still wouldn't mind having one floating around my study environment.

Moody

I deal with a lot of liars on a day-to-day basis, and I'm sick of 'em! However, those nice fellas who call themselves Liars created a genuine cure for all my rage and for the past 2 (almost 3) years it has been my doctor. I thought I'd share the link to Plaster Casts of Everything because they are going to come out with their new album soon... might as well just review their classics, eh?I know everyone knows this song, so beware of the thrashing that can sometimes lie ahead. You're going to hate everyone for 4 minutes.


The song hold great importance sentimentally as well. It is drawn back to fun, destructive (literally, like furniture got fucked up), better times that I wish I held onto. Well, oh well.

Best part of the song start at:

We saved our lives forever
We saved our lives together

You say
let's ride
this wave
for the rest to say
let's leave today

Obviously, Doctor, you've never been a 13-year-old girl.

Robin and I watched Virgin Suicides last night. I watched that movie over and over and over when I was 12 and 13. I thought the dialogue was wonderful and the music, by Air, was tremendous. I thought everything was a drag back then too, so I always saw myself as Cecilia...I was kind of dramatic. Also, the neighborhood was EXACTLY like the neighborhood I lived in, in Cincinnati, Ohio. My opinion has stayed the same, I still enjoy it, but after watching it, I still get a bit mopey. At least I don't relate myself to one of the girls, anymore, like Mary or Lux. So was Robin, I'm pretty sure he went home and slept for 15 hours. I also like that Sophia Coppola kept the script close to the novel, written by Jeffrey Eugenides. Here's why:

"What lingered after them was not life, but the most trivial list of mundane facts: a clock ticking on a wall, a room dim at noon, and the outrageousness of a human being thinking only of herself. "









"We would never be sure of the sequence of events. We argue about it still. "




"When she jumped, she probably thought she could fly."

It's time to be nice to the people you can't stand all year




SF, Christmas Eve...it's kind of difficult to remember that it's the holidays in this city, especially since it has not been raining as much in the winter for the past couple of years. It's nice out today and the ocean is a bit dreamlike for someone from Indiana. Happy Christmas, Hannakuh, etc.

Wild Zero

Prior to the death of the original bassist (Billy "Bass Wolf") in 2005, Guitar Wolf made a spectacular zombie-horror filmed entitled Wild Zero. The movie involved potions of Japan, garage-punk rock, sex, blood, violence, beatniks, motorcycles, and fucking leather. The story is juicy, violent, and basically everything one could ask for from this truly magnificent trio!




I really enjoy this song because when Guitar Wolf screams Roaring Blood, it sounds like they are actually saying "fuck yo' blood!". Hahahahahaha...classic.
