fire in mike's coffee cup

i just finished reading the zine of someone i met three years ago. i hardly knew him, and boy its strange reading about someone's life and not knowing them, letting the words and details fill in the notion of the person. i get carried away thinking about how this journal wont tell you a thing about me, but at the same time it must. after all, i am moved to the point of writing a note to him. his mother had a brain tumor and he toured in a band with a friend whom i had met when he happened to pass through this town. his words just make sense. i can write and write all i want (tho i'll claim to never have the time to) but im sure i wouldnt be able to incite any notion of caring in someone reading my words. but still..

who cares wins

the kitchen that we've been working on for a year is finally done. and fancy it is. it feels like sunshine.

good night and don't let the bed bugs bite

3 am already. where are you, wednesday night. it is that season of the year again. somehow it doesn't feel right without charles.

there is no sound of music

lollapalooza organized by le tigre has been cancelled. so much for seeing morrissey and all those other great bands... i just realized the magnetic fields played in toronto 4 days ago... no siren festival for me, unless someone wants to go to nyc within a weeks time. hmph..

know of any good shows coming up?

so i heard earlier this week that the carlyle group bought 2 billion in stock in loews theatres. coincidentally, right when farenheit 911 had been released. now, i have no idea if that much stock gives them any control, so i looked it up. turns out they just damn bought the whole operation..dated june 21, 2004

"Loews is the third largest movie theater chain in the global motion picture exhibition industry, with over 200 theaters and 2,200 screens worldwide."

ooh a calendar seems good..

it's funny

when people are every bit as predictable as you figure them to be.
