Okay, day three. We went out again. To a movie again. Johnny Depp again – “Ed Wood” – good movie.
Three dates & three movies in three days. I know, it’s probably overkill – but I can safely say now that yes, I like this girl. Normally I’d be waiting for this whole thing to implode on itself, but I’m feeling pretty good about all this actually. Other than my cheeks and jaw are sore from smiling so goddamn much.
SONG OF THE MOMENT: DJ Shadow – “Midnight In A Perfect World”
So fuck Ticketmaster, fuck them in their big corporate ear. Got really, really great seats for Nine Inch Nails, Queens of the Stone Age and Death From Above 1979 at the Garden from the NIN fan club. Neat deal, you’re limited to two tickets, but they print your name on the tickets. You have to pick them up the day of the show with photo ID, and go right in, means you can’t sell them – which means no scalpers. Seems like a great system to me.
SONG OF THE MOMENT: DFA1979 – “Blood On Our Hands”
So M. and I went out again tonight. We’ve come to the conclusion that the next movie we go to needs to be a comedy, because so far we’ve seen “War of the Worlds” and “Donnie Brasco” neither of which is condusive to whatever it is we’re doing.
So I think I really like this girl.
Lord help me.
SONG OF THE MOMENT: Wax – “All Over Again”
So Beige and I were talking tonight at the sake bar, and we came up with a pretty strong theory. See, we’re both pussies… we’re the kind of guys who end up with lots of friends that are girls, because we’re not assholes enough to actually score the girls outright. We’ve come to the conclusion that John Cusack is a major factor here.
If you mention John Cusack to a girl, or start talking fondly about “Say Anything” or any of his other romantic comedies, they almost always go “Ohhhh, I love John Cusack.” Now they say this, and they might even think it – but they’ll always go home with the asshole, and then call you to say “God, I wish he was more like John Cusack… ya know… more like you.” So fuck John Cusack. You made me a pussy Cusack.
Oh yeah, and G.I. Joe pussied me up too. Knowing is half the battle – yeah right. All Yo Joe ever taught us was that no one ever dies when you shoot their plane up five feet from the ground, and good guy’s bullets look like red lasers, and bad guys shoot blue lasers. How am I supposed to survive in this world with that kind of information? So fuck you too G.I. Joe, all of you. Except Snake-Eyes. That guy was cool because he never said anything, and he could gut you before you could say “Who’s wolf is that?”
SONG OF THE MOMENT: Fireside – “Slipper Hero”
Joel’s done left Gizmodo. I like John and everything, but every once in a while Joel made a little trickle of piss shoot out while I was reading an article. I farted once while reading a John post, but I’m not sure the two were related. Plus he really hated the NY Times “Circuits” column, much as I do. See, they don’t even get a link, fuckers.
Well not really, but I did have a date tonight… weird! It went really, really well. Apparently I can be charming – who knew? The girl actually asked me out, which was oh, so refreshing. Apparently she’s been interested in me for a three years – we met by chance a while back but didn’t hang more than once or twice – and now certain events have brought us back together and she up and asked me out.
I think I really like her.
It’s scaring me a bit.
PIX OF THE DAY: Something on macro, but I’m not telling what.
SONG OF THE MOMENT: Led Zeppelin – “Black Mountain Side”
The only good thing about being on a higher alert level for all transit, is that you get to see all the cool K9 unit dogs at the Port Authority every day. I saw a German Shepherd that was the size of a small horse this morning.
SONG OF THE MOMENT: Ben Harper – “Ground On Down”
