I intentionally wrote it out to be an illegible mess. You wanted me to write you letters, but I'd rather lose your address and forget that we'd ever met and what did or did not occur.
48 hours for respect of the deceased. Apparently, many people thought I had lost a sister or a cousin or the like. Actually, it was my dog. We gave her a middle name cos yelling "TESS" out the door to get her ass back inside sounded too harsh. "TESS MARIE!" is way more melodic--sing-song ish. She was a West Highland Terrior, all white, a hairy little thing. When she could move she liked to sleep. When, later in life, she developed diabetes and starting chewing the hair off her legs and paws, and started not being able to control her bladder, she still liked to sleep. She was my kind of dog. I can't remember too many times where she wanted more from me than a little bit of scratching and a warmness to sleep against. She was my kind of dog, and she had a rough last year, and I was seriously in favor of putting her to sleep until someone would actually mention it in the context of doing it like right now, and then I changed my mind.
What really shook me up about it all was before I called my mom and found out, this white dog, a little bigger than Tess Marie, walked past me on the street in front of my apartment. It had no collar, and no one was walking with it. After I found out, and I went back on the street, it walked past me again. It didn't stop walking, but I could see it was looking at me. I don't believe in much, but I believe in that.
Aside from that, the new Death Cab for Cutie is absolutely fantastic. Gets better with each listen. I am in no way lukewarm to this album. Full support. Full arms behind it.
Last week I observed at Bloomington High School and they had to send all the JUnior High kids over cos there was a bomb threat. My only thought on that: I now know what it is like to work at a refugee camp. I had to feed and give water and tell where to sit over 1000 12-14 yr.old kids. it was an experience. It turns out the threat was made by a kid who calmly walked up to his teacher and said, three times, I have a bomb. She didn't believe him the 1st or 2nd, but thought the 3rd time was enough. HE didn't have a bomb, he got paid $40 to do it. Now all three kids have been arrested. Time to talk about good choices to yer kids, ma and pa.
And 1/4 of the 'Hero sends a large row of "BOOOOOOS" to Gwenyth Paltrow, and the advertisement for her new movie "Shalow Hal". I am not worried about her portraying a fat woman, that's neither here nor there. What I am worried about is how its going to make millions of little girls feel when they see she has huge boobs in the drawing. Not only is she skinny and beautiful, but now she has porn star-esque chestibules? **2***
next five: "information travels faster" by death cab for cutie; "Firecracker" by ryan adams; "new york city cops" by the strokes***!***; "its a wonderful life" by sparklehorse; and "shit yeah I cried over a dog" by lois lane featuring Jack Black and Sway from MTV.
***!***That song that they put on the new US version of "is this it" is fucking awful. How they thought that P.O.S could replace the wonder of "nycc" is beyond me. Signs that the sun only shines for a second on certain groups are everywhere. At least they made one good record....
***2***All love to Matt Fast for that word.
