oof, something about hot faces in suits always makes me all warm and sweaty

I'm not gonna write some hoity-toity review in high language about how the new Batman movie explores the psyche of a vengeful, anguished soul perfectly or of how I waited in line for hours and hours to see it because I'm just that hardcore into Batman.  I mean, I like Batman but not in that way.  (I meant "that way" as in I don't like him enough to wait in line for 3 hours just to get a decent seat.  To be clear: I still would like to make kissy faces and babies with Christian Bale.)

Anyway, so all's I'm sayin' is...  that it was really good.

I came really close to crying like 7 times during the whole two hours and thirty minutes, but I didn't want to disturb the extreme fans with my loud, obnoxious sniffles.

And I don't think I've been so tense during a movie before.  The Dark Knight had the formula of escalation and conflict down pat.  I was reading my creative writing textbook on the pot this morning (yeah, what of it?!), and it discusses a lot of how to create conflict since there's no story if there is no conflict.  Yeah, chew over that one with any movie/show/book you've ever encountered in your life.  Okay, a GOOD movie/show/book.

After I got done watching the movie last night, it took me a second to realize I wasn't in Gotham City.  I wasn't in the same city as the caped vigilante, Batman.  For a movie to remove me from my reality to its reality so wholly was what was so amazing about the film.  And because I can't stop thinking about it from a creative writing pov as I do my morning "duties."  Haha, get it?!  DOODIES.

What's the closest thing you have to a time machine?

As far as going backward, pictures.
As far as going forward, I'm ok with the surprises that come with time.

I have looked everywhere, and I can't find this magazine on news stands.  I thought it was out of commission, but the website says otherwise.   This is good.  I should subscribe to it. 

edit: I just read further, and the magazine has been cancelled :(

goldie's alternate identity + mama

I admit - I can't get down with weave or wigs on myself.  With the exception of hella moons ago (see bullet point 4), I didn't think I'd don fake hair again. 

Until last night.

My mom performed a skit at an office party and she wore a long, hippy wig for it.  Then I took it.  For two reasons: 

1. Cus it's silly.
2. Cus she said it mad her hot, cus it went down to her waist.  It was cold out, so I snatched that thing up and wore it as a blanket.

The wig was actually grey, but it looks blonde in these black and white photos.  I think I like Goldiei en Blonde.  You might catch me with some blonde extensions soon.

Or not.

But it was fun.  And warm.

Seriously.... and I didn't shed a dime! it was at the North Beach Restaurant and we dined in the wine cellar... I hella felt like riff raff I was in my denim and regular white shirt, everyone else was all decked out in their finery.. The model I worked with the other day, you remember security guard dude? hella cool dude, asked me if I wanted to have dinner with him and some friends I said sure ( I have no life so I welcome stuff like this). Well for dinner I had Veal ... thing squares with white wine, lemon and butter sauce or whatever rich people call it.. and for desert this creamy thingy drenched in rum and strawberries.. the joint is Italian but high end.. I mean no cheesy pictures on the walls or anything, the waiters were fluent in the language and they checked on you every second to make sure you were okay... sigh this is the high life... one day maybe I'll be able to live it and share it with you all.... my only complaint.. it was in the cellar... so god it was freezing cold! and since I'm not of age I couldn't drink any of the many yummy wines to warm me up... ahh nice night.... if I had me a fake id I'd be out partying with the company hahaha sigh only a year more to go...

oh my freaking god...this CIA type contraption was installed at work... the machine will be responsible for making our schedules and handle our request for days off and such..., at least humans have a little sympathy when it comes to scheduling  but a machine wont care

I got a small mention in the mainstream press. Yee-hah! Quite small, but I'll take it.
It's an article about art on Post-it notes in the Seattle PI online.
They found me through this post on C-Monster, one of my favourite art blogs. If you wanna know what's going down in the art world, add C-Monster to your RSS pronto.
