"i told him i want to fall in love"

--Lynn

mesmerizing mutations

"a record so haunted and spare.. familiar metaphor of life-as-bitter-decay ... get assaulted by the sweet sounds... still retains the pathological Beckesthetic that short circuts your objectivity. wherever it's at...here is a list of subjective medicines; let us start our convalescence.... passion and melancholy. huanting and disturbing. humble and sweet..."
"pushing things forward for myseltf, staying awake creatively..."
"why does guero have such an air of doom and disquietude alongside its upbeat larks? Eerie dissonances suggest grotesque shapes, and Beck's ominous soulful singing and recurring images of death, ditches, and bones give parts of the album a blasted, apocalyptic tone..."

aw, the last day i lived in Nashville:)








flashback fantabulous

Eternally curious

Tired old asylum enemy of all that numbs

One night during college when I should've been reading my big turquoise 50 pound med-surg book I decided to write down all the main images/words to Beck's Mutations. Which I lOVE. That CD. the eerie haunting sticky smelly decrepit aura it gives is so nice.

more and more. you love it.




welcome back to California

You know you are in San Francisco when you can't find an apartment that's NOT "420 friendly", your cousin's mother's group has their picture taken naked in a pool with their babies, and the most popular soccer leauge is non-competitive and utterly non-scoring. Never could these get by in the South.

"I'f I marry someone dumber than me, our kids will need special ed, and I can't handle that."
