The Bottom Line shut up
It's too late, to turn back now. I believe I believe I believe we're falling in love.
God Fridays suck. Nothing fun ever happens on Fridays, the shows are lame, the parties are boring and one more piece of the great big boring puzzle is that I am here doing this damn ramble ON A FRIDAY. Ok, well thinking back to what other people have written about I will start with the description of my drink. It is cheap whiskey and I am drinking it plain. Not because I am some sort of sauce queen but I kind of forgot about this until the last minute and forgot to buy a mixer. Plus soda is rather nasty and I rather not even have it in the house unless it is to pour down the drain (shout out to Niccy6!). And I am sipping it straight from a measuring cup. I would like to tell you I am doing that for scientific purposes but really it is because I seem to be embroiled in some sort of dirty dishes brinksmanship with my roommate and I was never one to back down from a challenge. It is exactly one cup. Isn't that weird?
Note to self: Oasis is boring even when drinking and not conducive to drunken rambling.
So unlike so many that have come before me I really don't have any big lofty ideas to impart on thee this evening so here are a few bullets:
oI have a lot of big goals for my life but I think I could settle for simply achieving "gay icon" status.
oI love television like CorpGent loves the ladies. Only when it believes all my lies and even then only in small doses.
oI believe in a lot of "I" statements.
You know, in the last 4 months or so I have developed an elongated menstrual cycle and that totally irks me. For all you super-hetero men who are attractive, romantic, kind, and chivalrous but don't know anything about lady parts that means that while my cycle is still 28 days every month it starts a bit later than the last. Thus on a menstrual calendar it goes diagonally instead of just straight up and down. It's still considered pretty healthy but it's kind of annoying because no matter how often a woman goes spinning around her bedroom in her underwear in a show of individuality and quirky quaintness trust me, menstruation is where you want rigid conformity. So anyways, I started taking some flax seed oil supplements because lately I have been eating kind of crappy and my own laziness is no reason to allow my lady parts to suffer. And while that has straightened out the timeline of my cycle it has really thrown off the bleeding itself. Usually I am staunchly four days heaviest to lightest. Like a period that just floats off into space each month but now it's just odd. The bleeding is all different and I am curious as to whether the flax was a good idea. What I will do is cut back on the flax and I think the timeline and characteristics will realign on their own. I'll keep ya updated. And in case any of you are wondering, wild yam root extract is another great treat that can be found in the herbal supplement area that will boost your lady parts' productivity and general well-being.
God I love the White Stripes. They're such a simple easy pleasure in a hardened world. I worry though that Jack White has a lot of self-hate specifically centered around his racial identity. Did you know he's Hispanic? I just recently learned that from an interview that was press for their most recent record and I've been listening to them/reading up on them for a while now. Especially with this new album (and as they continue to garnish more and more attention from the mainstream press and audiences) his new look is this supremely goth, white face paint and reddened eyes. It's like he's the accelerated indie rock version of Michael Jackson. He also seems very personally distracted in interviews. He seems to enjoy the attention in a way and never seems to not be getting along with the music journalists but it always seems like he's holding back in a way that he doesn't want to be or seems very uncomfortable. I don't know, everyone obsesses so much over Meg, Meg's being shy, Meg's drumming style, Meg's emotional state I think Jack's really obvious issues are being completely unexplored within the fanbase. And FYI: Meg has been dating someone even hipper than Jack for like a year or something, I'm sure she's fine. How could she not be with such awesome hair? Seriously, I spent like an hour having a conversation with my roommate (she's a hair stylist) about how long I would have to wait before my hair could be done in similar fashions. It's going to be a while. I'm totally bummed.
Sometimes I am really embarrassed to admit how much I like Pavement. Because I really freaking (the Mormon way of saying the other curse) hate Pavement fans.
Haha, is this enough rambling because I'm just starting to have fun! And secretly, just between you and me? I haven't finished this measuring cup yet. Sorry, Charlie I am a total lightweight.
Oh my god, I am officially old. I NEVER know who the musical guest is on SNL anymore. Like I watch it and go "who is this? Don't any of the kids realize this sucks?" This is probably what aging hipsters were saying as I was coming into my own but really, I do feel sorry for the kids these days who think this stuff is where it's at. I was watching some MTV special today about "famous people when they were 17" and these celebrities aren't even scandalously interesting anymore. Wow, you ate a lot of Wheaties, Eve. That is soooo like yo!" Ok whatever, Malibu's Most Wanted. Even I was more dangerous than that when I was seventeen and hello, I was straight-edge and in the podunk suburbs when I was seventeen.
I saw Identity yesterday you know it was totally good. I don't watch a lot of horror movies though so it might be lightweight riffage for a lot of you all but I totally got a bang out of it and think it would be pleasurable upon future viewings. You know what I totally want to do? I really want to start a matinee club, like a book club for people who don't read. But all my friends are like "whatever Erin, I have to go to work" "I have to go to school". Oh, did I mention my name is not Jennifer? Sorry for anyone who didn't get that, I swear I wasn't trying to be weird. I just assumed everyone read "Valley of the Dolls" and if you haven't you totally should. And I don't mean say you've read the book and just see the movie instead because the movie is great but in a whole other sphere of appreciation. Oh here's another indication that I am lame and old, I totally threw a fit when I found out all the AM Gold compilations were lost/damaged/withdrawn from the local library. People seriously, Dionne Warwick rules.
I have to go now, "Wake Me Up Before You Gogo" just came on my mp3 player. Must dance!
Oh but before I go, I have to pass this on to somebody, but everyone I talk to from epinions.com has already done it so uhm, I will pass it on to the first person who comments on this that they want to do it. However, I reserve the right to disqualify you based on my own discretion.
Wait, I just finished dancing and I want to have full-disclosure here. I thought this whole thing might be rather lame so like I made people make hella promises to me in accordance. And they were the following: that Mr Eeyore would send me a copy of his 1991 appearance on the People's Court, that Sarah "the real pink" ODB would not only watch Black Dog (my favorite movie of all time) and review it. And these two awesome people totally came through so here we are. And I also totally love like all the people that did this before me (plus the Chak) except Lemon-lime he sounds like a weirdo even if we do like all the same records and he's from Montana. A state I have immense respect for solely based on 1. Its weirdness and 2. The fact it is always raining there. And the soundtrack for this ramble was, since everyone seems to have file-sharing capabilities these days: Wanda Jackson, White Stripes, Stereo Total, Wham, Expose, Molly Maguire, Chantels, Pavement, Big Mama Thornton, Dusty Springfield, Serge Gainsbourg, and probably others but I am beginning to get double vision, ack! Anyway, they are all great you should try them out sometime.
No drunk confessions!
This is the drunkest I have ever been online. Francois Ozon rules! xox
