weekend trip log

2009-07-12T19:33:00.000-07:00

Went on a trip to Santa Cruz With Gabe on Saturday. Wandered to an apartment complex he used to live in, went to Pergolesi where some very nice barista corked two bottles of wine for us. had a bottle in the grass by the water. A lackluster peanutbutter cookie, greasy folded in half slices of hawaiian pizza and free beer from the very generous Jorge. Played horse shoes at a barbecue. Saw my best friend from middle school. White chocolate lavendar truffles, a long walk to the park for something that didn't happen, up a spiral ramp across a highway overpass. The heat from the sun making my black pants stick to my skin, saw a blown out bubble in my tire, got a new one on my credit card. dancing to E-40's "sprinkle me" in this kid's immaculate purple black and grey Basquiat themed bedroom. Met some very awesome people. slept in a house with a parrot and went to breakfast at Cafe Brasil, black beans and poached eggs. watched two seconds of Elvira before passing out on a pile of sleeping bags. nothing happened in that order. I brought my camera, which let me take one very nice palm tree picture before shutting off. What a good trip.

summer poem for the losers in your life

2009-07-07T23:38:00.000-07:00

Drive Through Opera Derrive Fun Wild Weirdness of the darkest land, a figure eight of smoke in the sky, a mole on your arm, satisfy sanctify old friends flying the coop, wonders of persian midnight O relly factor factoid facts of life steam burn steam thoughts rough waves ove fighting fidelity insurance on the treadmill two for one juicy soup of soul taco four for a dollar hairties fashion forward nasty women with dirty pits and clamato souls. Pocks on your face, rocks in your socks, healthy hole in the heart, a four figure salary, salami flavor pants pockets of courage. fill in the plankton, eat a burger, fuck a clown. walk a mile, forget your family. talentless. root up and fly forward with the force of power rangers, powdered milk and selective services for me mom and dad. ambivalently flying in a clean cloud, frowning down on the world, dog of night, fire your enemies. make them eat crap and lap up the yogurt of your dreams. dodgy fucks at the supermarket can't bring you down.

HI Everyone.

how it never occurs to you when you leave the house that you might be having so much fun you won't go home for a few days. It's funny when this was the outfit choice you made before leaving the house. I wore this dress for three days.

Statement of Intention

2009-06-04T22:34:00.001-07:00

volcanoland is
kids running away with a bandana on a stick
mice peeking through blinds
weird library movies from a childhood of deprivation
leggings and tights hand me downs from big girls
strange wood paneling, sounds absorbed by carpet and amber light
and screaming at your parents
and being alone
and making your friends your family
remembering childhood
the colors, the rules, the other kids
re- interpreting everything you have ever wanted
and having it
another summer in the sun
another bart simpson skateboard
spinning creeping spastic dancing like you have lost your marbles
when you're so lonesome you could howl like a wolf in the dark
not sure if anyone will rescue you
but chanting to the freak in the sky in the hopes that they will

Best Coast

2009-06-02T01:02:00.000-07:00

Best Coast is a band that I like a lot lately. It's got Bethany from Pocahaunted and Bobb Bruno of Bobb Bruno. I like these other bands a lot too. Dreamy summertime echoey girl singing like trapped in timetravelling, a more natural version of out of body glitching like when you do nitrous. They play a lot of shows but they're all in LA. I'm having an itchy immature summer and it feels great.

Cicciolina

2009-06-02T00:10:00.000-07:00

Cicciolina is a hungarian born Italian porn star turned parliament member. She was married to Jeff Koons and he made beautiful sculptures of thme having sex for the exhibition "Made in Heaven". There is a book about her that is pretty hard to find but looks great. She also makes great funny pop songs that you can listen to on her website including one about San Francisco- "it is a city of love, of gays, of pollution of rats, of AIDS!!! And I want to go!!!" She is the weirdest combo of anna nicole smith and daryl hannah. Her eyebrows are insanely low and she almost always wears flowers or some other funny silky glactic headgear. I would love to have a full body poster of her in my house.

MONDO VISION

2009-05-06T13:30:00.000-07:00

okay, thank you god for returning me from Modesto safely. It was fucked up. I planned to go to Santa Rosa today but I feel a little under the weather and the idea of driving any more makes me want to ralph. I wanted to let everyone know that MONDO VISION is fucking cool. It's a video zine all about the bay area punk scene, and it documents it in such a good way. I've felt for a long time that people like us have something strong and weird inside that makes us different, able to combine things and experiences in a way that has never happened before. We seem to be more influenced by our childhoods. Driving through the hills yesterday I was looking at the light and it reminded me of the dreamy scenes in I- Spy books that I got so lost in. My inspiration for everything I make is purely Pee Wee Herman, Lynda Barry comics, I spy Books and the Set Design for Beetlejuice. We're so wrapped up in what it is we make and participate in that we might not even see how much we make history. I've met so many weird interesting people in my life and they all just kind of slip into the voidy soup of my brain, but It doesn't necessarily get spit back out into anything. Mondo Vision is doing it in style. I don't know anything about video editing but I know I like this, and it really does read like a zine, the creator did a fucking great job of translating. I feel like I'm only on the fringe of punk culture but watching this video zine was so exciting, to see so many people I recognized talking about familiar stuff that seems both totally bizarre and totally everyday. What's great is that I have felt so many times like I was involved in something that seemed to have legs, and Mondo Vision validates that, it is excactly what I see. It makes me want to be more involved in documenting this crazy fucked up culture that I'm so attracted to. It was like looking into a mirror for the first time. Thanks Mondo Vision.

Partying at the Gates of Hell... Bogus Adventures in Modesto

2009-05-05T22:55:00.000-07:00

Me and Morgan went to Modesto to thrift and it was so fucking wack. Creepy redfaced fat rusty pig boys whispering fag in our ears flipping us off in a screechy pickup... women with painted faces discussing cigarette price chages at Valero, a town called Salida which I think means exit lies right next door to the town which means "modest". We drove twenty miles to find a hollow aluminum shed full of dusty deals... 49 cents for fucked up clothes that sucked. They gave me a nice seafoam green and denim blue floral bag for my cropped floral cardigan... why did I buy it, cause I wanted a souvenir to prove that the trip wasn't a waste, that the central valley isn't a black hole, that it's an underappreciated gem responsible for the poetry of Joan Didion and my mother, who climbed water towers to watch for enemy war planes in the 1950's when she was in high school, dreaming dairy queen dreams and feeling jealousy toward her sister who found two bucks behind the toilet once. The windmills follow the curves of the hills, spinning fast and ominous, and you feel very small and scared of them, as you are in the darkness of the valley, feeling encircled, almost ganged up on by hoards of mega lacerators. The clouds are black on the top sides and white glowing under belly, and the girls at wal- mart work their magic on you, informing you about one dollar rentals of popular movies, and it seems there is no room in her sentence to tell her you don't live by here or near any wal mart at all... the closest one is near the airport. It seems like a place where you might pick out a new shade of hairdye for some entertainment or get married, or drive a hundred miles an hour on the freeway. If you have ever in your life wondered who is enjoying all of the wonderful antidepressants you hear about, it must be modesto, where people would never think that their lethargy is caused by Carl's junior chicken stars and they don't want to get up in the morning because nothings new, Lady GaGa is still number one on the radio, T.I. is number two, and Kanye is number three, though depending on whose calling in what requests, the trifecta may re-arrange itself throughout the six weeks that the songs reign supreme, but I digress... orchards forever, that make your mind so blank that you are scrolling through a list of fruits and nuts, deciding what kind of tree is repeating itself into such an organized forest along the roads which are disorienting and sometimes deceptive, twenty minute drives toward what you thought was something, abruptly dead ending. Signs tell you depressing things about droughts and deltas. Modesto is the biggest empty that ever was.

Grass Widow!!!!
They're the Best!!!! look How effin cute they are! Me and Kickball Katy were driving around talking about boys and listening to their new album on the way to Vallejo. AAAH! it freaked me out it spoke to my heart so hard. Got some weeeeird cool clothes and the Vivian Girls got tour tattoos of cactuses. I thought about getting something but, like, yeah right. But what a fucking bogusley amazing weekend... The Vivian Girl's set was better than ever, and they got to stay for a few days, I love all of them so fucking much. I also went to Alese's Bday party, played some crazy crazy racket sport game with hula hoops, four balls at once and roller skates. Bro'ed down with cool boyzz from San Mateo, had girl time with Shannon and Katie... then I went to SF and hung out in Banana Zone or whatever the house was called in the excelsior. Stayed up late there with Cassie, Breakfast at boogaloos with my favorite Matthew Momchilover and some cute dude that smiled a lot and had a tattoo of pizza on his arm. Me and Matt started discussing our gothic Disneyland adventure this weekend, and everyone listened to me talk about astrology for like half of breakfast, everyone at the table was so entraced, it was weird. Anyway it ruled and made me feel young again which is a bizarre thing to say, but I keep getting stuck in the donut of circular energy that is the bay area. fuck this bummer place. LA sunshine take me away!

2009-04-19T00:27:00.000-07:00

this is music for waking up very slowly, after sleeping on the floor with ten of your friends, and making pancakes for them despite your hangover.

This music is for when you're the first person to wake up after a sleepover. The floor you slept on suddenly feels very hard and the sun is very abrasive, so you get up and make everyone pancakes despite your hangover.

which sounds better?

"Dance Cheese"

2009-04-18T22:40:00.000-07:00

I want to make some mix CDs with themes including one called "Dance Cheese"
a description, if you will:
This is a collection of low- quality songs that make you feel like that girl in the opening scene of that movie where she's getting ready to have a great day...i.e. painting some sassy neon nail polish on her fingernails, dancing in a towel, reviewing outfit options, and walking out the door, but not before kissing her reflection in the mirror, leaving a beautiful frosty pink lipstick mark on the mirror.

"if you love the song "barbie girl" or sheepishly listen to energy 93.7 when you're all alone, get ready to kick your own ass while dancing to this magnificent collection exclusively available to the craft fair 'in crowd'

would anybody like to submit a song for consideration?

plastic love ornery pulse, go just go dog me like soup like vitamin waters rising tide. can't help but collide with my second grade self, can't help but lose it when I hear the crazy bat lady's voice, shutting down, breaking apart, wanting wandering like freaks in the night. to have courage like white rope, to breathe the air and the sand, to participate, to fuck. chinese lanterns red in the hallway, sputtering mouth, you're gliding, reaching airwaves knocking hips into walls hard with a push. forever in carnivals, your tower girl, she sighs with a love song, a rude dream to drink. to love her is to love her is to love her. to think of her is unsatisfying. you want to breed her. to grab her hand and to run with her in the dark. to need. to cry in pain from the wanting, to reformulate, you can never know the palace that goes on inside her head, or the diamond mine of your heart flipping inside out for a stranger. palace of will and fortitude, fortunate girls and long hot summers. your hair has privelege and your mind is sharp and cutting, experience is dull why bother, dad can fix anything. groping for something real in the darkness, looking for sparks, for to enter beaches. for to have something.

I BROKE DOWN.
went to whole foods. I bought celery, a carrot, a piece of ginger, 5 lb. of brown rice, an apple, 6 eggs, and T.P... 23 dollars. I did it because... I wanted to buy short grain brown rice in bulk. and I was just gonna get that... but then I didn't feel like making another stop... and I didn't go to Berkeley Bowl cause I didn't want to deal with crowds and parking. I guess I'll have the rice for a while... I guess I did get a lot of rice. man, living is expensive. On the upside I bought a bag of coffee at Grocery Outlet the other day for four dollars and I'm brewing that in the morning instead of going out, and BONUS it has an image of a lion cradling a black sheep on the package. On the downside that means I have no reason to get dressed and get out of the house in the morning but hopefully a new motivation will descend upon me. like, a job... but I only sort of want a job.

POOOOOOOOOLS
