infernal monologue

memes - Monologuing... like a Boss!

it's kind of like when you're out walking with your ipod on and you feel like you're in a music video or a film

don't do the narration out loud, though

that's a no-no

i'm too much i'm too much comforted here



this is the other single pavement released in 1995

i saw them play at sammy's in 1993 and 1994 and then i got to see them last year on the awesome trip with my girl carrie - who was originally going to live in the york place monstrosity too

it has some of my favourite lyrics in it of all time

"callin' the bluffs, talkin' so tough
goodbye to the ugly steeple fear"



this is (quite obviously) me being a rock chick in 1995

and then i became wildly successful and had to record an unplugged session, too


if you wear your pyjama top all the time you only have to get dressed half as much

grunge was the only thing i wore for years

it was a hard habit to break

kiss me into the past



back in 1995 i was living in a violent green monstrosity on york place with rhys, jim and susan
we would hang out with kelly (jim's girlfriend and now wife), linda and andy and sometimes susan's friend angela
it was the year i started liking friends, seinfeld and er. sebadoh, beck and guided by voices
i saw throwing muses play at orientation
i went to some university, but not a lot
we had a dress up party where i dyed my hair black and cut a fringe in so i could be uma thurman from pulp fiction


in the last month i have caught up with jim and kelly, linda (and grant, but he didn't exist for us yet back here) susan and angela

linda and grant had photos from back in this time and we got to sit around and tell stories about that year, which was pretty cool, especially because i got to play photography csi (what can i say? i has a gift)

jim and kelly and i watched the video he made back in 1995, which shows all of us at the flat, my cat spike lee included

tonight after dinner at etrusco with susan and angela, i drove susan and i past the old house on york place - it's still luminous green on it's city facing flank

and do you know what? on my trip to wellington the other week, i read kristen hersh's book about the early throwing muses days and the onset of her bipolar disorder

i'm totally digging this circularity, universe. we all know i love the 90s - well, 1995 was one of my favourite years and these people were (and still are) among my favourite people

and we all look pretty much the same as we always did, just kinda better.  well, i think, anyway :)

lolcat of the day


just imagine if i discovered something
a non prescription something
that promises to help with

sleep
anxiety
mood
stress
nightmares
weight loss
headaches

and now 'mask' with eric stoltz and cher is on tv

it really IS year of the rabbit, y'all

so why i've not yet bought a single lotto ticket this year is beyond me

cucina amore


do you know what?
i think i will make spinach and ricotta cannelloni for dinner on friday night

i've just been having a wee consult with my man jamie, and i think we're looking good

i'm also thinking an interesting green salad with fresh herbs, toasted pumpkin seeds, crumbled bacon and home made croutons teamed with my mean as secret vinaigrette recipe - it's first outing since retirement 8 years ago

and i do believe some of that mammoth peanut butter ice cream will finish things nicely

i might need to wear my new skinny girl skirt and new purple italian leather pointy toed cuban heeled ankle boots for the event, though

hey - you know nigella would

pot, kettle

I have the internet at home  on vinyl

i think the reason i find hipster kitty so funny is she's a little too close to the bone sometimes

ha ha

"close to the bone!"

so mature, bro

also, last week i felt a little bit hipster kitty, putting on my skinny black trousers and high top black converse for my walk through newtown

but it was like a uniform

no

camouflage

good, beta, best



just back from extended weekend away, where i got to go to some really amazing places that i can't believe i've never visited before

planning my week in wellington, which kicks off on wednesday - my posse's always ready and they're waitin' in my zone

chilling out at princess fiona's and getting ready to go for a walk with myresa - i think the exercise train might be cranking up. might, but can't rightly say just yet

the knowledge that i've made someone's day and they've yet to discover it but it could be anytime from now

i think there's something in this year of the rabbit business, y'all
