"Don't Leave False Illusions Behind"
I have a full on raging cold. I spent the night guzzling special therapeutic herbal tea with honey, and watching back episodes of Buffy the Vampire Slayer on dvd via Netflix. This is too much info but I am thinking about doing that teapot thing where you get pour a salty brew literally into one side of your nose and out the other with a special ceramic pot. But that seems shocking and painful - worse than getting thrashed in an undertow. Anyone ever done it?
I think I might work on a little project when I get home. I have been having ideas of creating a soundtrack to my office and making copies for everyone when I leave. The songs in my head cover the full gamut of my 4plus years here. The optimism and hedonism of 1999, the dotBomb, happy hours, drama and intrigue, the songs that Dawn or Jeremy would blast over and over again, the music I listened to at 9:30 on a Friday night, AIMed to me by Derek as we worked with burning hatred on NGM. Personal songs about love, despair, happiness, frustration, rage, contentment, and moving on. Funny songs that are so Geographic or Society, or songs that would get stuck in all our heads because they shared a title of a project (Eye in the Sky).
Some of the songs might seem a bit too personal, some a bit too aggressive, but they’re completely honest and relevant. And um, fuck it, I’m going to be gone. :) If I make enough time, I can do CD art, pull quotes, or hopefully, full lyric sheets. Perhaps even a little interactive design a la the early Sarah McLaughlin cd’s that took advantage of cd drives in computers.
So we’ll see how motivated I am once I get home. I’ve got big plans, and low energy, perhaps one will lend to the other.

i just rememberd the outsiders. cutting hair with knives, boys fighting, jean jackets. yeah man
The Outsiders is possibly the greatest film to come from that era. “We’re doin’ it for Johnny, man.”
Scuse me, but I don’t know who Ralph Machio is.
aww Elle, rent it. I know it’s because of your tender age.
It’s too late for you to be formed by it, but not to late for you to appreciate it.
“We’re doing it for Johnny, man! For Johnny!”
anyone remember River’s Edge?
http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0091860/
right up there as a classic!
i LOVE The River’s Edge. and it contains perhaps one of the greatest lines ever:"All you do is eat our food and fuck my mom...motherfucker, food eater!”
L O L
you almost made me spit at the screen!
as the little sister of 2 brothers i also have a warm feeling for “i don’t want a new doll, i want you to beat him up!”
Oh my Gosh! I DO know who Ralph Machio is! I DO! I DO!
I knew the name, but couldn’t place the face. Then went to imdb (God bless) and looked up his bio.
Yes! I do know who Ralph Machio is, and wow is he old.
heehee atta girl :)
we may need to do a ralph machio Park it on the Carpet
(last summer i got sick of Screen on the Green because it was so damned hot. Instead I encouraged people to bring fried chicken and sit in my air conditioned living room instead)
ralph was so hot in the outsiders and the karate kid but now he’s old and ugly!
I ♥ The Outsiders
