I’ve been pretty busy lately, hence the neglecting of this diary. I’ve been working on two separate new albums. One of them has all the songs
named after shapes (circle, rectangle, trapezoid, etc). The other one will be more of a pop album. The main difference with my newer songs is the absence of love or romanctic references as I’ve moved on to weirder things. I’ve been mostly locked in my room watching dvds and writing.
In the past week or so I’ve watched pretty many movies on dvd:

Lifeboat
Zardoz
Hound of the Baskervilles
Outland
The Alamo(John Wayne version)
Alexander the Great
Blood For Dracula
Battle Beyond the Stars
Last Man on Earth (with Vincent Price) *a steal at Zia for just 2.99
The Baby
The House on Haunted Hill (Vincent Price)

However, It’s friday night so I’ll be out getting trashed etc.
Right now I’m at the internet cafe and they’re playing the velvet underground’s “Loaded” album, and some girl is sitting across from me and she’s chewing really loudly with her mouth open. Oh how I hate listening to people eat. So gross.

update: The girl that was chewing loud said “bless you” after I just sneezed, so now I feel guilty for thinking negatively towards her.

Oh and USbank is officially the best bank ever. I would love to do a commercial for them. Not only did they mercifully give me a checking account, they let me do whatever I want it seems(cashing checks made out to weird names, not holding out of state checks etc). I haven’t even heard a single “we cannot do this” from them. I finally got direct deposit set up so no more of those ghetto check cashing places ever again.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms

I’m trying to learn to play this song on the recorder and annoying my roommates in the process.

Believe me, if all those endearing young charms
Which I gaze on so fondly today
Were to change by tomorrow and fleet in my arms
Like fairy gifts fading away.
Thou wouldst still be adored as this moment thou art
Let thy loveliness fade as it will
And around the dear ruin each wish of my heart
Would entwine itself verdantly still.

It is not while beauty and youth are thine own
And thy cheeks unprofaned by a tear
That the fervor and faith of a soul can be known
To which time will but make thee more dear.
No, the heart that has truly loved never forgets
But as truly loves on to the close
As the sunflower turns to her God when he sets
The same look which she turned when he rose

Speaking of roommates, I only see Rudd like once every few weeks, but I ran into him in the kitchen the other day after I got off work, and all he said was “Whoa, when did you you start wearing men’s clothing?”.

Saturday I woke up and watched “The Alamo” with John Wayne on DVD. Went out and went shopping with Clint. I bought some new clothes and a cheap acoustic guitar. Came home and watched Alfred Hitchcock’s “Lifeboat”. Saturday and sunday afternoon movies in my room while writing, have become a new thing to look forward to.

I rushed home because I was waiting for something important to arrive in the mail today only to find that there was no mail because of stupid martin luther king day. Don’t get me wrong, I’m all for civil rights and everything, but I really hate those holidays where you don’t get off work but that the banks, the post office, and other “official” places that offer services you need are closed.

Anyhow, I finally got a DVD player after all these years, and the first thing I did was watch all the “Night Of The Living Dead” movies in a row. The best of the series by far is “Dawn of the Dead”(1978 version).

The new remake of Dawn of the Dead is a total piece of shit.
They have running zombies? WTF? It should have been called “Dawn of the 28 Days Later”. Me and this guy from work got into this hour long debate about which were more scary, slow zombies or fast zombies. I argued the case for slow zombies of course, due to the fact that they’re out there lurking, and you know they’re going to get you, and it’s the slow suspense of it.

Oh and when I was looking at apartments the other day I was actually taking into consideration how defensible the place would be in a zombie attack. That was actually a factor in my decision. Have I gone crazy or what?

Walking through the new release section video store is so depressing, it’s just remake after remake, along side cheesy comedies with the occasional left wing “el guapo” movie here and there, and all these asian hyperdramatic melodramas about honor this and honor that with people flying around in blatant violation of the laws of physics.

I don’t know. I might just have a couple of drinks to take the edge off.
