more %$#@&%



I started writing an entry yesterday, but the server had worms. I've barely been on the computer at all during the last few days. I almost, almost slapped some purposely atrocious photos up on the website that were taken a few nights ago. Then again, where do you carve the line between a "good" photo and a "bad" one? There's some in-too-lektualizing for you. GOOD: it doesn't look like this. Ah, yes. The "Tapes of Wrath." And what wrath! Talk about things to NOT watch for the first time whilst stoned out of your mind. I was laughing so hard I thought I was going to throw up. Now every time I go to the grocery store I'll be plagued with mental images of 80s Al Jourgensen and this terrible, horrible, bad, bad video. And OMELETTES WITH NAILS! Getting this tape was the best $7.99 I've ever spent, seriously. And I haven't even watched the entire thing yet.Little known "fun fact": 83.07 percent of people who decided to check out homosexuality in the year 1986 did so ONLY after viewing the "Over the Shoulder" video. Cheers, Al!Small note that no one will care about, but I have a dire need to write about it since I haven't had time yet: On Friday, after running around town and getting said shite over and done with, I came home to find the belated capitalistmas kulture-bomb from Inertia waiting for me. Rock! I had just sent off his sweet sweet goodies (after warning the perplexed guy at the post office: "You do realize that if customs is lusting after rummaging through this package they're never in a million years going to be able to put it back in one piece because there's a half-roll of duct tape barely holding it together.") so that says something for good karma. Or if not, at least it's an excuse to sound all spiritually introspective. (I can't wait until you receive it. The postal service makes me nervous.) I opened it up, and what did I see? England's Dreaming! Seriously, I squeeked like a little girl. That was the most fantastic thing you could've sent me. Arrgghh! Then I saw the S'Puppy sticker and squeeked again. Awesome, awesome. I don't know what else to say other than DAMN IT! we need to talk more. I miss those many... er... hours. *ahem.*</a> I did see some $5 calling cards for Canada somewhere around here...

at first the video seems a bit odd for Al, but then when you realize that Peter Christopherson directed it, it slowly makes perfect sense.

Woot! You're alive! I just logged onto LJ in order to post an APB looking for yez. Don't worry, you haven't missed anything: the Internet is still full of garbage.Woot v2.0! You got it! I was seriously worried that it wouldn't make it, what with the at least semi-subversive nature of the tome in question. I wanted to give you something at least semi-rejectionary/against/contra everything that Christmas stands for: I spent about two weeks hunting for either England's Dreaming, Lipstick Traces or The Air-Conditioned Nightmare, but England's Dreaming was my first choice. You vill lurve it like it was your own squealing worm-baby (although you won't be nearly as tempted to throw it into the electrical food-preparation appliance of your choice). Each time the mail comes through the slot I leap up, hoping that my metric tonne of duct tape has arrived. If our hypthetical customs snoops haven't got to it, I know I'll enjoy it (whatever its squishy nature may be).Telephonic kommuniqueshun would be sweet. Seems to be the theme of the moment: I spent two hours in total yakking to Buzz and later Foe yesterday. Our schedules are probably semi-similar (and there's only a one-hour time-zone difference) so it should work out. Send me your number if you're so inclined; you've got mine, I believe.Oh yeah: I think I caught the ghey from those pics. Seriously.

Really? You didn't have to do that! I found it used (mint condition!) in a cheesy music shop. I ended up with the video and a KMFDM album and felt like a complete butt-rocker.Reply #76537642 = also in your journal. Kind of.

apparently christopherson's photographic style ov sorts is bringing out the homoerotica in everything he shoots. and making it all industrial and creepy while hes at it. if i'm not mistaken he also directs the videos for Just one Fix and NWO.

1) I think I read it in eleventh grade. It could have been the beginning of twelfth. Maybe I should give it another look-through, especially since I already own a copy. It's been a while. I might get more out of it a second time around, later down the road.2) Your entries as of late have been intriguing. Just something about them...3) Procrastination and lack of internet time, coupled with not knowing what to talk about. Nasty or suggestive? I sense unspoken alterior motives! :D

Symbioticism! There's a word that people don't use near enough.I don't spend much time dealing with the list. There was a moment of irritation toward it a week or so ago but it's over and gone. Heh. My entries never end up being "friends only," so anyone who adds me gets the full irritating effect.Hmm. Looking at your profile page-- if you have your "friend of" list hidden, how do you know who has added you?
