ZooK

Tramps like us, baby we were born to run.

I had a magnificent time this weekend with the ladyFriend. Watched three bad movies, including the John Water's "classic"***1*** Polyester, the trainwreck starring Jenifer Aniston Leprechaunand the freeze framed picture ending
Less than Zero which I rented because every time I see Robert Downey Jr. all I can think of is that scene where he is servicing another man and his best friend walks in on it, and Downey's face is seriously contorted and demented, and I thought that seeing it again would give me a different image so that everytime the DopeHead is on the televison I don't think of that specific thing. So now that's gone, but all I can see is that stupid freeze framed picture from their high school graduation that begins and ends the movie. Note to all future film makers: Freeze frame photos are for TV movies and CommunityAccess Cable outlets. Please.

Now that all that talk of servicing is out of the way....I should actually add to that to make sure I don't look like an asshole***2***...

Watched Marcie try to nail guitar parts during a recording session in his living room. Try is the keyword there, as the Ryan and I sat in that awfully hot room with no windows open, the air conditioning off, and no fans, while Marcie watched the computer screen rather than listen to the track. His most used quote: "Dudes, this is the last time." Bryan's (the guy doing the recording) most used quote: "Dude, just fucking do it!".

I have to come up with a top five list for HitItorQuitIt! by midnight tonight, and I'm stumped. The category has to be somewhat out of the ordinary, like one guy is doing "TopFiveSongsThatShouldn'tRockButDo". That one is good. I was thinking TopFiveReasonsBandsShouldn'tBreakUpandMakeUp, but then Marcie would start whining about how I always pick on him...

Note to self: Never, ever, ever watch Saving Silverman again. Not even Jack Black kissing the Drill Instructor from Full Metal Jacket can save this one. Not even.

Next five: "Timorous Me" by Ted Leo; "meet me on the ledge" by varnaline; "ELT" by wilco; "Pissing on yer parade" by lois lane; and "harmonics" by straightleggedkick who have become "ThoseGuys" by getting back together after breaking up publicly. Funny, but I remember somebody on this here BLARG remarking on the stupidness of the make up break up universe. If you love someone, let them free...

Milli Vanilli is still better than Destiny's Child. David Cassidy is still better than Augie Ojeda. Joe Girardi is still better than Todd Hundley. Lois Lane is still better than yer band.

In the stereo: Ted Leo, which I bought today because Marcie memorized the guitar parts and I liked the way they sounded. "let's not talk about the color of my eyes..."


***1***Sorta like a Pinto is a classic.
***2***Stop saying "too late", ladies.
