le soleil est pres de moi-air

because i feel like it and i can: continued

space, geeks, and johnny unitas. basically my all-time favourite episode of pete and pete besides the nightcrawlers, namely because pete and ellen befriend an alien kid. and i would like to befriend an alien kid.

because i feel like it and i can

oh kirk fogg, where are you now? (note: i don't actually care.) ps, fuck you olmec. i always wanted to say that.



TERRIFYING BONUS: are you afraid of the dark, the tale of the lonely ghost. this one scarred me for life as a child and made me afraid of mirrors, dolls and deaf mutes.



RECOVERY BONUS: because i bet you are scared and you need something uplifting now, right? okay good please enjoy this episode of pete & pete where pete tries to ditch teddy. EXCELENTE! what, you guys didn't know that?

words.

stolen from clare hart-slattery.

beatz and bleepz: the i'm poor edition

well well well it looks like we've got ourselves another weekend. or, some of us do...not me, though. i'm too poor for that shit. instead i will spend the next 48 hours working my face off and not having fun until i build up some funds again (read: next weekend). plane tickets to argentina are wackly expensive (and no, not the good kind of alex perry expensive, either) as i re-learned the hard way this past week. MEGASIGH...goodbye, dollar bills. but hello tunage. at least i've always got that. ps this week's playlist is (generally) lighthearted and discotronic with a double dose of miami horror to open and close us out:

holidays-miami horror
i crave paris-aeroplane
synthetiseur (bestrack nostalgia rmx)-housse de racket
student body (bit funk rmx)-lexicondon
travel light-david e. sugar
dreamin' (jungle fiction rmx)-feldberg
4th of july fireworks (clockwork rmx)-kelis
i look to you-miami horror

and now for some (robot) feelings:
way back home-bag raiders

ausntm cycle six episode six!!!

ugh i have been waiting for this for over 24 effing hours! thanks a lot, foxtel...

anthem du jour

'avril 14' by aphex twin.

marcel the shell with shoes on

welcome to the oc bitch

hangovers provide the perfect conditions for watching back to back episodes of things like laguna beach and the oc. i know this because i'm doing it right now. and i've made a decision. whenever anyone asks me "what are you doing here?" or "so what's your story?" (people ask me these questions ALL the time, too), i'm going to reply with the following ryan atwood monologue: "i stole a car. crashed it. actually, my brother did. since he had a gun and drugs on him, he's in jail. i got out, and my mom threw me out. she was pissed off and drunk. so, mr. cohen took me in." except instead of mr. cohen, i'm probably going to substitute like, kathy griffin or heidi & spencer pratt or maybe that british guy from the magic bullet commercials. i think people will be really impressed with my fabricated dangerous past. as long as marissa cooper doesn't come back from the dead to foil my plan, i think it's going to have really positive results for me.

"what do you want to do?"

so in one final (i hope) attempt to make me turn back around and be a lawyer or something, my mother has taken the time to create a life questionnaire for me. no but really. she wrote it out on a piece of lined paper. that was a nice surprise to receive at 8:30 this morning. but i thought that maybe you would like to figure out what you are doing with your life, too, so i've decided to post said life questionnaire here for you to fill out at your own leisure. here, i'll even do it right now:

1. what do you want to do?

geez, maureen...you get straight to the point, huh? and what do i want to do? so many things but most of them involve styling bailey's hair into a mohawk and/or putting bugles on my fingertips so it looks like i have claws.

2. what are the steps you have to take now to get there?

wait, i know this one! it's like...what is it...you put your left foot in, you put your left foot out, you put your left foot in and you shake it all about...JUST KIDDING! i know those are the steps to get to the hokey pokey. but in all seriousness, i have to take steps towards the grocery store so i can pick up a bag of bugles.

3. are you going to argentina because it fills a gap, looks cool, or allows you to move?

yes, all of the above. but mostly because it looks cool. i only ever do things that make me look cool.

4. how will it further your future?

this one is oddly worded. next, please.

5. can you honestly afford it?

mo' money mo' problems, maureen.

6. are there things in your life that are preventing you from achieving goals or holding you back? physically, spiritually, emotionally?

i shall give you a hint. her name starts with "m" and ends with "aureen". give up? okay fine, it's you. physically, spiritually, emotionally.

7. picture your life in 5 years--where you live, what you do, how much you want to earn...

i want to live inside ikea like a modern-day from the mixed up files of mrs. basil e. frankweiler. my career will consist of breaking guinness world records and detangling christmas lights. i would like to be paid in gum and also wishing coins from the bottoms of fountains.

8. how do you get there?

i expect they'll have worked out the logistics of teleportation in five years, but should i be proven incorrect, my backup mode of transportation will most certainly be riding banthas and/or coattails.

9. can you get established here in something and then go take a long vacay in argentina?

no. but i give you bonus points for writing 'vacay'.

10. insurance?

no thanks.

11. SUPER BONUS: who played michelle on full house better? mary-kate or ashley?

mary-kate, duh!

THE END. so do you know what you want to do now? this really helped me and i bet it will help you too. i am going to spend the rest of the day making venn diagrams and flow charts to demonstrate these concepts more clearly. this is my life plan, and yes it is set in stone.

*ps, i made up question 11 but i would have liked it if maureen had taken the time to ask my opinion on the matter.
