Wilco playing at McCarren this summer!
Like a cloud his fingers explode On the typewriter ribbon, the shadow grows His hearts in a bowl behind the bank And every evening when he get home To make his supper and eat it alone His black shirt cries While his shoes get cold It’s just a dream he keeps having And it doesnt seem to mean anything And it doesnt seem to mean anything One summer, a suicide Another autumn, a travelers guide...
funeral of the heart
tonight i got the new leah hayes graphic novel, signed by her at a bookstore in williamsburg. her book, she confessed, is depressing, but i assured her i was ready for it. i mean its called funeral of the heart after all…the name says it all.
we talked about being hayes’…she considered herself “very proud” to be a hayes and was not giving it up her name in...
Though it seems we had such little time for us Will you say to me a little rains gonna come When the sky cant offer none to me Cause I will come for you When my days are through And Ill let your smile just off and carry me -heartbreaker

Joanna newsom played for the wrong audience tonight and left the stage after 3 songs. after the show i told her “good show” which it wasn’t…but thats not her fault. she sounded great, but the crowd wasn’t into it. apparently bjork was a couple rows in front of me too?

anna, watching march madness.
Sunday was jointly Easter and my 24th birthday. Chinantla’s “real” mexican food was a delicious blast of realness and rich spicy flavors covered with cheese and free chips. Yum. I was surrounded with good company. This was followed by a screening of “the wariors” and a Xiu Xiu show at NorthSix.
i feel the rain fall
this afternoon i will eat pumpkin nut bread and watch Aronofsky’s the Fountain. I fell asleep for its entirety in the Angelica last year, and I will probably fall asleep again. But its that kind of rainy afternoon in brooklyn and who am I to fight it?
race in america
obama gave a great and provocative speech on race yesterday…mostly to seperate himself from his pastor’s demeaning comments. hope that helps his campaign and stirs people’s hearts in pennsylvania. as good as it was, he needs to get back to selling hope to the middle class…after reading the audacity of hope i know he has what it takes. c’mon pennsylvania, don’t...
good albums….want them both vinyl style like stat. streaming april now from myspace, and then i’ll buy the mpthrizzles from caldoverde.com after it gets pulled. the opening track is stellar, great to hear more from kozelek…
No work today, so instead I’m watching Todd Field’s best film, Little Children. Amazing film…love how the narrator gets inside the mind of each character and is so accutely insightful - it paints a very sad portait of suburban America, but also how there are very real, unexpected dramas unfolding underneath the glossy finish. And just like In The Bedroom, Todd Field’s...
I got some hits in today with Brendan. Man, it kinda killed me. I was hitting balls into the net and missing all overheads and volley returns. Felt a little like kicking off my shoes and sitting on the court. My serve started returning and feeling pretty good, but thats when my back pain kicked in. Brendan got two sets on me for the first time, and now i’m stretching out, yogi style,...
BTW
i hung around the jurors lounge from 9-3 today and never heard my name called. i guess they didn’t need me after all! hence, i’m done with jury duty for 8 more years, which made my day. plus apparently i get 40 bucks just for showing up today…score.
so i just rewatched ghost world and thought it was great…much like, terry zwigoff’s other masterpiece badder santa which i swear to god i’ll catch on comedy central every christmas eve for the rest of my life. its just that funny.
The juror summons mailer arrived for me a couple weeks ago, and as of tomorrow morning, the time has come…I’m nervous about missing work…
I’m really into film again. Probalby just going through that phase again, but I just want another medium format to mess with. Might go with a Pentax. Really nice glass that makes the softest, most beautiful portaits…
