I love poetry, and when music and poetry really meet each other like they do in this song, I go fucking bananas.

I wanna talk about everything I love about it all at once, but that would be confusing so I’ll break it down as I see it, by the lyrics that impress me most.

This lyric sticks out first to me

         It takes more than fucking someone to keep warm

  Quick anecdote; I once said this to an ex of mine

You keep me warm in winter, I said

In retrospect it sounds totally stupid

         You wont find love, wont find love in a home

  How true, Frightened Rabbit,

Seriously how often have I tried to find love among others crazy like me. We may be sensitive in the same way but that does not make us compatible.

  Sadly this lyric hits me hard as well...

         I’m drunk, I’m drunk

And your probably on pills

  Well said, Frightened Rabbit,

I was on pills, and yeah, you were so drunk! You asshole. We made a big deal out of nothing, didn’t we? And refused to admit it was because we were high. We were such kids.

one of my favorite films to brag ive seen.

“You never seem to be waiting for me, but we kept meeting at every turn of the paths. Behind every bush, at the foot of each statue, near every pond. It is as if it had been only you and I in all that garden.”

Last Year at Marienbad (1961)

Michael Riesman - The End of Dracula (composed by Philip Glass)

This track comes from a re-recording of  Glass’s Dracula, which he composed as a soundtrack for the 1931 film. The music was originally written for string quartet, but for this recording, Michael Riesman arranged the entire score for solo piano.

The original version of this track, perfomed by Kronos Quartet, was previously posted here

(while watching 28 days later)

Joelle: Kevin what would you do in a zombie apocalypse?

Kevin: I actually think about that all the time

Joelle: yea me too

Kevin: that's the first interview question I'd give a potential employee

Joelle: oh wow

Joelle: okay, so what would you value in an answer. Like whats the correct response

Kevin: Well, I would give them 5 mins with their cell phone to assemble a team, like a military person, someone for security because you need that. at least on hot chick.

Joelle: two hot chicks for when you get tired of the one.

Joelle: and one should be a mom with a kid

Kevin: why a mom?

Joelle: You need a maternal figure! also children boost the moral of a camp

Kevin: No way, they are dead weight

Kevin: I'd use them as a decoy.

So crazy story... I went out yesterday to get my hair cut, go to the doctors, wander bevhills and whatever, and while I was waiting for my ride to come pick me up I notice this guy with awesome hair sort of scoping me out. Mind you, not checking me out. It was more like he was sizing me up.

So I'm sitting there, right, and then he approaches me cautiously as if with a question or query. I thought it would be something about my clothing, kindle or maybe directions, but no. He offered me a free hair cut. !!!

I had to confess to him that I had actually just gotten my hair cut, pointing to the salon behind me. He looked disappointed and I was feeling spontatenous, so I agreed. As we walked half block to the Jose Eber Salon, I learned that it was his first day there and the two models he was supposed to style had bailed so he was sent out by Jose to find someone, anyone, to style. He was in desperate need of a head of hair and I was glad I could help. Some other things I learned about him : His name is Brian Allen, He is super cool, as most hairdressers are and also from New York City, new to LA, in a band, likes sci-fi movies and television, has a Westie terrier... Safe to say, we got along famously. 

I'll admit I was a little nervous near the end that he was taking off so much, maybe too much hair. But it turned out fine. Actually great.  Jose Eber agreed, I look really cool now. To celebrate my new hairdid I bought myself a new hat by Rag and Bone at the Jill Roberts boutique on Beverly drive. Then I had myself a little photo shoot in my bathroom,the evidence of it is up there ^

Item of the day. Dear parents, being a non-smoker is hard at an art school. It's isolating as well. Please buy me all of these so I have a reason to stand near the cool kids and can make friends.

Thanks!
