Cliffhanger

I had this intense vision the other day that Lydia and I went to the BedStuy Y tonight to get our gym on, and something really insane and life-changing and maybe dark/deadly happened to us on the walk back. Then, this morning, Lydia gchats with me and is like, "Hey do you still want to go to the gym?" And I'd been meaning to go to the gym with Lydia for about a weekend, but then I had this vision, and so I told her about the vision, and we both kind of freaked out together for a bit (she's been watching a lot of Twin Peaks) and consulted on-line Tarot spreads for hours except they weren't helpful because they were SO VAGUE. But basically we've decided that it is important for us to try and confront this vision tonight, because it's just too weird and there is safety in numbers. Will we be hit by a car? Will someone snipe me? Will we stumble into a tesseract? How does the card NAN NAN BLOCLOU LA FLAMBEAU come into play? Vengeance? Will Vengeance be involved? OMG, please stay tuned!

Excerpts from our zine

lydia: did you guys ever feel like the capricorns were part of a 'scene' even though you were so isolated?

dude!

me:

kind of but not really

lydia: like a nascent internet thing

2:56 PM me: i think in this one way since we have always existed primarily over the internet we never got to really "choose" what scene we were in.

lydia: mmhhmmm

that makes sense

me: like the way some bands are in a scene because they live in a certain area and sound a certain way and play with certain other bands.

but maybe i feel like we were never part of a scene at all too.

2:57 PM i think any scene we were part of was sort of determined by the other bands that our fans liked.

does that make sense?

lydia: yeah.

me: i wasn't kidding.

its a zine.

my favorite thing that happened yesterday:

"this google chat is a zine unto itself"

this week in changing my life:

Last week, a woman rode by me on her bike wearing this little beauty and it has basically been all over since then. I'm haunted by visions of an imitation Louis Vuitton fanny pack. Which I do not, as yet, own. Please stop me...I have my fingers on ebay and very little money.

Kulture Korner: exactly how fassst?

Kafani and Keak Da Sneak




I'm still like right there with this one.

Kulture Korner: Title Spoken by Character

I KNOW WHO KILLED ME



I KNOW WHO BLEW MY MIND.


If I told you what this movie was about you wouldn't believe me. If I told you what this movie was half about you wouldn't believe me. The basic formula, as far as I can work it out, goes a little something like this: The Parent Trap + USA Up All Night circa 1989 * The Watcher in the Woods %torture porn + stigmata * glass blowing+Luis Bunel+improvisation, possums, owls, crotch shots>willful, misguided, 88-miles-per-hour-in-a-De Lorean-bad+pilgrim costumes=I KNOW WHO KILLED ME%what remains of my brain.

Here is how IMDB has seen fit to classify it. Just keep going with the list. Once you get to "opossum" you'll know that you have passed through on towards "stabbed in the neck". May I stress: "title spoken by character".

It's really important that you see this, if you haven't already.

I would hate for you to be left out of the conversations about truth, beauty, and art that civilization will be having for the next two millenia:

the best part of my weekend

77 BOA DRUM: EYE wields a trident! A TRIDENT!!!!

j'adore

Because it's never too early to think about what you're going to wear in September!

we make our own barf

Blog about fireworks? Sure. I went to Coney Island for the first time ever on Friday night. If you go to Nathan's definitely the thing to do is get the kid's meal -- it comes with a hot dog (or corn dog I think) , fries, a tiny soda, and A PRIZE (dinosaur). With tax it costs $4.61. You could pay like $8 to get the same stuff (no prize, larger drink) but why barf so early? There is still funnel cake.

The fireworks were impressive (full moon), party because we sat so close to where they set them off. And not even on purpose, they just kind of light fireworks above your head. There was this 13-year-old (?) girl sitting behind us freaking the fuck out and screaming every time a particularly loud one went off. She kept running away toward the boardwalk and at one point it sounded like she might have been crying which I of course thought was the funniest thing I had ever seen (come on. Tears of a 13-year-old girl? Hilarious). She also talked a lot about how she could "feel the heat" of the fireworks, which was also funny/absurd at first, until we realized there was burning crap falling out of the sky all around us and we were getting covered in ash.

Also, when you laugh at crying 13-year-olds you will probably have an asthma attack.

My friends went on the Wonder Wheel after the fireworks but I could not join them. I stood at the bottom while they waited in line, waved to them when they went up, and then went into the photobooth to drink a bunch of the liquor I brought with me. A couple of teenage girls went in after me and came out talking about how they did really crazy things and could never show anyone the photographs, which is totally awesome. I talked to them a little bit and they asked me if I was there alone. At first I thought they meant like, at the photobooth and said "yeah." They gave me sort of a weird look and I realized they meant AT CONEY ISLAND ON A FRIDAY NIGHT and I was like, "Oh, I mean, no. My friends are just riding the ferris wheel but I'm too scared so I'm waiting for them down here."

Then my photos came out of the machine and they were soooooo ugly.

At Coney Island there is some sort of "ride" called GHOST HOLE. Yes?

What's up?

Hey. This is Stevie Wonder on an episode of Sesame Street.
