who wants to take a "ghetto-bath" with me...?!

what's a ghetto-bath you ask?...a ghetto-bath (ghetto bathing that is) is what i occasionally do after a long night of drinking, a ghetto-bath is palmolive dish soap, a ghetto-bath is a submerged rolled up sock instead of a drain stopper, a ghetto-bath is lukewarm water, a ghetto-bath has a physical diameter of 5 ft not quite fitting my 6'5 frame...weird day yesterday: weird meaning rum, vodka tonics, chichi shots and two $1 bottles of zinfandel...wooter...cough...eh...snort...hack...

and then i watched Eli Roth's Hostel...which i loved...coming to realize i enjoy Roth's special DVD "featurettes" almost as much as the movies he makes...Cabin Fever and Hostel are most definitly in the house...

watched Capote...snor...i mean yeah it was great all all that...but boring...snor...and i don't agree with Koshkin's assertion that the writer and director copped out of portraying Truman's homosexuality...thing is, Capote isn't a bio pic...it's about his book In Cold Blood and the events leading up and proceeding from the experience of writing that book...Capote's homosexuality had nothing to do with it...

here's some books i read last week:

1. Night Season- Mark Lamoureux (Dusie) (mark has a great last name)
2. Caricature- Daniel Clowes (Fantagraphics Books) (i'm on his nuts big time...though SF homeboy Zwigoff needs to stop making second rate adaptations)
3. Young Gods and Friends- Barry Windsor-Smith (Fantagraphics Books) (sucked the bag...for real though...BWS's "introduction" as self-fellacio-fest is enough to make you want to kick his mother's ass)
4. The Bus- Lauren Kohne (self-published) (fucking loved it...as you well know, Lauren is one of my favorite SF artists...this new comic as chapbook as travelogue is the beat...)
5. Waiting For Food #3- Robert Crumb (Drawn & Quarterly) (is saying you like Crumb tantamount to saying you like Radiohead? is it passe yet...?..."i'm totally more underground than you")
6. Nova- Samuel R. Delany (Vintage) (Chip and i have sat next to each other two summers running post SWP ish at the Boulderado...he's sort of my favorite sci-fi writer of all time...and i can tell you what kind of cheese he likes...)
7. Talschlusse- Hartmut Abendschein (Dusie) (it's in german...what up BB?!...what up Angie?!...what up Shakespeare?!)
8. Loud Soft Silent- Joseph Cooper, Jared Hayes, Liz Guthrie, Andy Peterson (Hot Whiskey Reading Series #1) (a beautiful book as accompaniment to the reading...where i was drunk...and yellling stuff...and seriously considering hitting on a couple of highschool girls...)
9. The Peripheral Space Of Photography- Murat Nemet-Nejat (Green Integer) (Murat is my fav!)
10. Cusp- Jocelyn Saidenberg (Kelsey St. Press) (hi Jocelyn...holy shit finally read Cusp...holy shit loved it...go Francis Jaffer award!!!)

ghetto-bath here i come...

...currently listening to Freestyle Fellowship Innercity Griots...

Sack-iss,

It's not like I thought they should focus on the relationship more or show an all out fuck scene. I just thought there could have been more of an allusion somewhere...even a peck on a cheek or something like, "I love you"....rather than the brotherly, "I miss you."

No it wouldn't have been necessary, but I gaurantee you that if he had been doing this long distance thing with a woman there would have been one of these allusions.

Booyockahshaw!

PS, don't forget the Washington Apple and the Oatmeal Cookie....yack yack!! What the hell were we thinking!?!

right right...i didn't mean to insinuate that you lamented a "no fuck scene"...but i think the point was that because capote was spending so much time in kansas the relationship was a bit strained for those 4 years he was working on the book...i don't know, felt natural to me...

and then on my way home last night i stoped at the liquor store and bought ghetto-wine...i don't know what the fuck we were thinking...i think it was your idea...

i'm sure mark lamoureux is quite the ladies man.

François Luong said...

and yeah, i think that saying that you like crumb is like saying you like radiohead. but you know, with radiohead, like crumb, you have the early adopters.

now, i wonder what liking barry windsor-smith like?

WEAPON X!

Uh, it's more like a (sing.) lady's man these days.

The literal translation is actually "lover of men." (Insofar as 'eux' is a masculine plural direct object pronoun.) Which technically means sort of like "lover of mankind."
