Depeche Mode - Stripped |
] |
i could not help but be reminded of garden state. of the scene with the elipses... ya know? except he didn't come back. and there was no frou frou in the background playing.
but it was sad nonetheless. and everything fit. and now i have to wait.
so i have to leave the apartment at 5:30 so i can go be an extra for a commercial with rosey. this insane time has caused me to have to pull an all nighter because one hour of sleep is just gonna bring me down now. bummerrrr. but. i will get 80 bucks for a new pair of jeans and a free lunch from this. unless it's all a scam and i die.
i saw brand new play on friday... wasn't so good. i mean, it was alright. but, damn, who knew they were so mellow???
and i saw only half of afi's set last night. I WAS SO FUCKING PISSED. jake's friends caused us to be 2 and a half hours late for the show, MY birthday present... :( i didn't get to mosh, didn't get to touch davey's hand. booooo.
this week sucks. hardcore.

Depeche Mode - Shake the Disease |
] |
i'm back. with a snazzy new icon. of depeche mode. (of course.) i figured it suited me well since i am probably always listening to something having to do with depeche mode. watching it. making art of it. whatever. talking about it.
geez. i am the most interesting person ever.
i'm so burnt out from school right now. seriously. why did i decide to take summer school? whyyyyy??? i have no motivation for my writing class. i should, though, since my teacher has a new novel out that is pretty awesome.
work is pretty sweet (minus the extremely poor pay). i just sit around and talk to rosey for four hours... then leave. it's kind of amazing.
does anyone read this thing anyway?

depeche mode - clean (bare) |
] |
this week has proved to be quite good concerning my art. i can't help but be excited about my scholarship and admittance of my piece into the student art show. i am only just beginning...
otherwise, i have been an emotional mess and i don't want to be. i am being a stupid girl and i don't want to be. i don't want to do this. i don't want to be this way. but what can i do?
|
|
| whew. |
[13 Mar 2006|10:01am] |
well. my spring break is pretty much over. the reggie and the full effect show was my break, and now it's time for me to do work.
the reggie show last night was CRAZY. it was very unique. they had no opening band... well, there were 3 bands, but all 3 of them consisting of james dewees. he was hilarious. god i love him. it was a really good show but i let the bitch beside me bother me more than i should have. it wasn't a big show at all. zach and i arrived there 3 hours early and there was no one there until after the doors opened. so of course we were in front but there was no one there to contest it. i flirted with the merch guy for a while before the show and bought the most AMAZING shirt... you would not believe. it would probably piss some people off.
this week has been a great one. full of no sleep and drunkeness... but oh so worth it.
i'm going home for a few days, when i return we'll see what happens. if i'll get what i want or not. i'm not going to mention anything yet just so i won't get my hopes up.
ps. phil's new band, olympia, is amazing.

Depeche Mode - Lie To Me (The Pleasure Of Her Private Shame Remix) |
] |
project done. ya ya yayyyy.
so, in order for me to save money for depeche mode, i am only going to spend my earnings on coffee, fruit and occassionally a nice dinner. other than that, (besides the depeche mode reissues) i'm not buying ANYTHING. ok, i know i'm not going to do that, but i'm going to be stingier than usual.
and now that i have free time this week, i'm going to DRINK, cut annie's hair/makeover, FIRST FRIDAY, no studio, DRINK, band practice, work out, etc etc etc.
i'm excited about this week, i think.

Depeche Mode - Sister of night |

DEPECHE MODE IS TOURING ON THE EAST COAST AGAIN...
i couldn't be happier about this. i'm definitely going to the dc show may 21st. they are playing in chicago the NIGHT before the LAST day of exams... and of course i have my wonders of technology exam. i might talk to my teacher... make up some bullshit about not being able to go and taking it before. that would be wonderful... we'll see. there's dates in ny and nj...
YAY
and other shows i'm going to attend are REGGIE and SAVES THE DAY. that's exciting as well.
so yeah, i should be poor for the next 4 months. but it's SO worth it.

Martin L. Gore - DJ Set |
] |
so i TOLD myself tonight i would clean my room, brainstorm on my metals project, silk screen and even watch dirty dancing. but all i managed to do was tidy up my room. i feel like i'm a zombie. i wake up so early, i go to bed so late. in-between i can't remember what i do. i miss marisa. i miss molly. i miss my mamaw. i meant to call her. i always mean to do them and forget. i get so immersed in my metals that i break off from everyone and just focus on my art. my new family is the studio people. some i love more than anything, some get on my nerves. and i miss people. i don't get to go out as much. but i can't complain so much.
i hate, though, my writing class. my ambition is to be a writer. but that class has totally taken all excitement out of me. i don't feel like writing 'how to's' about people, i don't want to write about the most beautiful place i've ever been. that's not the writing i do. my teacher does not give us enough time to get something going. two pages isn't enough. one draft isn't enough. of course it's not going to be great. and of course we don't discuss our papers. we read them in groups. "oh good description." "yeah you had great detail here." that does not help me improve. WHY was it good? was my dialogue lacking? did i detail too much? all we do in that class is discuss OTHER writer's works, which i am not opposed to but i am opposed to spending the whole class period deciding whether this writer actually wrote a non fiction piece. i don't think it matters. so we should just get over it. a good story is a good story. it's the prose that intrigues me. not the fact that it was non fiction. don't get me started about the lecture i have to go to tomorrow night at 7 and write a paper on it.
but whatever. i'm not going to stress yet. i've got everything under control so far.
i bought tickets to reggie and the full effect and saves the day today. that makes me a little happier. it's about time i went to a show again.
and i swear, i would seriously fly to vegas to see depeche mode play. i would spend whatever money. i would eat ramen for every meal just to be able to pay for the ticket. there are few things in life that are as special to me as music, specifically, depeche mode. i think there are only 3 (maybe 4) bands i would spend over 100 dollars to see. the cure, depeche (been there, done that), morrissey and maaaybe new order. all of these just because no one knows when the last show will be.
besides listening to depeche and the cure recently, i've enjoyed myself some death from above 1979. they're pretty sweet. and i can't get into the new strokes album. and the pet shop boys are pretty amazing as well.
i should really make some beats on my drum machine this weekend and not delete them. and silk screen shirts. annnnd somehow have fun.

Glen Frye - You Belong To The City |

back in richmond for good. for a long time.
i finally got my computer back. feels good to download music legally (and illegally) and listen to it with my awesome bass.
i began my new year puking, caught by a virus of some kind. then found out i have a cavity. boo. but this year will be good. i know it. last year was good. but this year - BETTER.
good shows. good new album releases. so exciting.

Depeche Mode - Nothing To Fear |
] |
okay. i'm still not done with christmas shopping, nor will i ever be. i believe i have stressed more than i have bought presents. i am done with everyone's in richmond... now i have to buy for my grandmother... i'm quite clueless about that. i apologize to everyone who didn't and/or is getting a shitty present from me. this semester drained everything i had. i have nothing left to offer. so let's still be friends.
i spent 47 dollars on makeup today... and only 15 of it on me though. oh, urban decay!
and my next purchase will be a drum machine. i'd like to find a vintage one (circa 1985) so i can completely submerge myself into 80's beats. the band... is going... slowly... i don't know if we're progressing or not. no worries. we'll be a full band soon, i know this. especially with the addition of a sweet ass drum machine. and even if i have to effing sing.
i'm going back to pulaski tomorrow. i have mixed feelings. get good meals vs. having my parents breathe down my neck all the time. i guess it evens out.
betty is the cutest thing ever cause she entertains herself for hours by playing with a bottle of sand.

Depeche Mode - A Question of Time |
] |
being done is such a relief... i have about a month off now. to do many things. i had two pretty good critiques today. first being my tiara... i think it's the best work i've ever done. my teacher didn't have anything bad to say about it. i love it. someone have a tiara party so i can wear it. my fabric design critique was nice too... no one really takes that class seriously so the crit wasn't too interesting or helpful. but i really like my book of eulogies. i would like to age paper and use ink in a lot more of my projects.
it's so cold outside.
so the depeche mode friday was outstanding. i bought depeche mode underwear. they say "pain and suffering" on the butt. if you want to see my awesome really cool camera phone pictures of david gahan, ask me and i'll gladly show you. i love them. it was funny, though, at the show when i was the only young one around dancing. these 30+ year olds didn't enjoy my energy at all. and it was also funny to notice that i know NO ONE with a black trenchcoat but me. however, at the dm show, EVERYONE owned one. the guy i went with had a point when he said, "well, look at what kind of show you're at!!" yeaaah. when martin gore wears black angel wings and david gahan wears a black leather vest, you've gotta expect the trenchcoats.
the kitten, betty, is quite the curious animal. she also enjoys pooping 3 times a day in margot's box. margot is teaching her how to be evil and unfriendly. how cute.
ok i should really take a nap before i go parrrtaaaay.
