this weekend i...

saw The Dark Knight with Adaye, we sapped vodka and cried for Heath. Aaron Eckhart sucks as Twoface by the way...otherwise the movie was fantastic, i mean, it was just a movie, but it was good...

met up with Hannah
and James and Emma at Dirty Thieves for drinks...James and i talked about eating out, we want to do an every-Thursday-night-we-go-out-to-a-new-restaurant thing...anybody want in? talked with Hannah a bit about her recent move to LA. i guess i should visit Echo Park? i want to visit LA soon anyway, go see the Poetic Research Bureau, maybe do a reading. anybody want to split gas? i'm down for serious, let's get out of the Bay for a weekend.

watched Cloverfield, i liked the ending a lot, i liked Cloverfield...i don't know about JJ Abrams's "i wanted to create a Godzilla for America..." bullshit...i think it's pretty obvious that America's Godzilla is Jason Vorhees, Jaws, Michael Myers, King Kong, LeatherFace and Freddy Krueger et al...duh.

ate tuna salad and burritos and pizza...regretted all of it but the tuna salad.

went to that post-punk show at The Peacock Lounge with Adaye and Natalie and Lance...Repeater and Veil Veil Vanish were my favs...The Prigs rocked too, and now they're in a hospital in Fresno after getting into a car accident on their way back down to LA, bummer...but seriously, Repeater blew me away...yeah they're kind of Joy Division by way of Interpol (but who isn't these days?) but they pull it off well...look them up on myspace.

my sister came over for a brief visit. we talked about ex-boyfriends and jobs and The Watchmen and Greece...i love my sis.

woke up all fucked in the head on Sunday...did laundry and visited Azikiwee for a while...came back to the apartment and watched Sigur Ros's Heima...finished Bellamy's Academonia and went to bed. woke up feeling better. decided that it's time to take some psychological amoxicillin...get rid of those pesky parasites currently annoying me...

this week i have a date with pretty girl and then Adaye and Natalie and Lance's party Assassins is on Thursday night at Deco Lounge and then my friend Dutchface's Saturday sloshball birthday party jam...

i'm looking forward to resting up a bit this week. my mom bought me new jeans.

if i have the money, you can pretty much always count me in for a trip down to LA.

yeah, i still have to buy my plane ticket to buffalo, though, which will set me back a bit. i plan on getting it soon, so then maybe i can figure out when will work.

listening to REPEATER. pretty good. i wouldn't say they sound like joy division at all, though. and i think i might actually PAY to download their album.

i bought their album the day after the show. it's worth it. they rule. they rule live too. the joy division thing was a joke. i knew it'd get your attention. TRANSMISSION!
