Mental Wounds Not Healing/Life's A Bitter Shame...

Just how fucked up AM I?!

Paranoid: VERY high
Schizoid: Low
Schizotypal: VERY high (Many believe that schizotypal personality disorder represents mild schizophrenia. The disorder is characterized by odd forms of thinking and perceiving, and individuals with this disorder often seek isolation from others. They sometimes believe to have extra sensory ability or that unrelated events relate to them in some important way. They generally engage in eccentric behavior and have difficulty concentrating for long periods of time. Their speech is often over elaborate and difficult to follow.)
Antisocial: High
Borderline: Moderate
Histrionic: Moderate
Narcisstic: VERY high (I know, Butch Rosser is shocked a test would depict Butch Rosser this way when the reality is, Butch Rosser is just a high-quality person who people should be more like.)
Avoidant: High
Dependent: High
Obsessive-compulsive: Moderate

Hope I Die Before I Get Old

Because of the stupid fires, my mother got another day off. (And tomorrow too as I wrote this, despite other people at her work going back. GHM.) And apparently once you hit her age, day off means do every single chore possible before your back gives out. So I ended up doing pretty much every piece of laundry in the house that wasn't a sock.

In addition to the fires taking today away from me, I wonder how the local channel is going to handle 24 tonight, as it's been pretty much wall-to-wire Firestorm coverage. It's lessened today, but if they don't show it I'll watch the end of Joe Schmo the first time it's on. Damn parents. Fucking fires. I was going to spend today buying batteries and finally watching Scarface and/or seeing Kill Bill v1 #4, but noooooooooooooo. Of course I'm working six of the next seven days on top of matters. The point of the story is: my life is a relentless steel toed kick in the crotch.

Under the into-every-rain-a-little-life-fall Dept, I bought the new R.E.M. Greatest Hits, which is the first CD I've ever bought that I actually like every song on the record. Bought the Essential Clash, pretty much for the second disk. Lookit this Murderers Row: London Calling, the Guns of Brixton, Clampdown, Rudie Can't Fail, Lost In the Supermarket, Train In Vain, Police On My Back, This Is Radio Clash, Ghetto Defendant, Rock The Casbah, Straight To Hell, and Should I Stay Or Should I Go? By the way, that's a partial listing of one of the two CD set. NIIIIIIIIIIIIIIIICE. Finally, I got the best steel cages DVD from the WWE which is apparently like five hours of violent goodness, including some AWA/WCW footage. Whenver the hell I actually get some time by myself and the DVD player I'll pop it in.

Oh, and my back is spasming again. B-e-a-uuuuuuuuuuuutiful.

Oh, So You HAVE Recognized? No Need For Me To Tell You You Betta, Then...

(San Diego, CA) -- The San Diego Convention Center has much to be proud of today. It is being recognized by "Trade Show Week" magazine for having the "Best Staff" out of 375 meeting venues nationwide. The magazine noted the staff's friendliness and the white-gloved attendants, who welcome every visitor with a smile and open door. "Trade Show Week" is one of the industry's leading publications. The Convention Center recently received similar honors from two other magazines.

Oh, By The Way: YOU'RE WELCOME!

Well, work blew, otherwise it wouldn't be called work, right? So I am planning on using these next two days off commiting myself to holistic healing vis a vis watching Kill Bill for a 4th time, drinking a beer or 8, and now that I've purchased it, frenetic near-psychotic worshipping of the Holy Bib--er, Maxim with Alba.

Catching up on stuff I've missed during the last little bit, and in Monday's Currents section not only was there a cartoon that had the sticker "Don't blame me, I voted for Gary Coleman" but the resident TVaphile made a list of things she would recall (and yes, Fat Chin Who Couldn't Carry Letterman's Jock With A Forklift was on there).

Sound familiar, dear reader?

All right, back to things that matter. Sweet, sweet Jess. I've missed you so...

It's The Little Differences

Watching the now ubiquitous on ASCTR KBv1 again, and now again, you pick up a lot of little things. Bride's heart monitor at 69, how the reveal shot in the opening fight is done, how connected O-Ren & her girls are to their femininity (flowers on the sword sheathes, man), the first two times the Bride has her hands out and so on. Just feenomenal.

SEGUE!

I have now seen the Alba Maxim shoot for this upcoming month.

If my arms, wrists, and fingers ever recover, they're suing Maxim for massive paralyzing damage. I mean, I love JA like a fat kid loves cake and all, but these photos are hot. Like two t hott. Like a Mexican plate lunch hot. Like Vegas in July without the shade hot. Like you could fry an egg on my groin hot.

I plan on picking up a few extra copies because my room needs a new ceiling. I can grow my own "stalagtites".

Now, where'd that empty-two liter go? I'm about to become a millionaire.

It's All 'Cause I Wished Tarantino Good Luck On His Way Out Of Comic-Con...

Saw it again today. You know how sometimes you see a movie and you think it's good but then the second time you see it it's lost a lot of the shine?

Oh, not this movie.

The bomb-ass song playing O-Ren and the 88s to Charlie Brown's V.I.P. suite is Hotei Tomayusu's "Battle Without Honor Or Humanity", appropriately enough. I wish this was screaming out of a boombox any time I walked anywhere cool. Or anywhere at all for that matter.

Might go see it again tomorrow--I know I'm allegedly on with Amanda for seeing it Monday night after work.

When I wake up I can go cash my pissant check. Hoorah.

Check The Subtitle Up Top!

I believe I'll be rotating KBv1 quotes for a while. Suggestions welcome but may not work due to spacing.

We'll see how far it goes before you see ASCTRv2: The President Has To Die NOW. :)

HOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOOLY FUCK.

Well, I do believe Kill Bill was about as awesome as awesome gets, yes I do. I mean godDAMN! Talking 'bout "When you grow up, if you're still raw about it, I'll be waiting" and "AND I WOULD BE THE EMPEROR NOW GET SOME DAMN SAKE!" and bye-bye legs and bye-bye arms and bye-bye head and the Pussy Wagon and "That really was a Hattori Hanzo sword" and MOTHER. FUCKING. GO-GO and and and just go fucking see it. Again, if applicable.

I mean GodDAAAAAAMN talking about...

Another One Of Those...

This will not help the back spasming.

Another 2.5 hours of dancing (well, I had to work off the two hours in Hooters and the near-epilieptic/orgasmic seizure(s) it/they sent me into) and pretty girls bumping and grinding against me. *sigh* How long does a hot chick's ass go against your groin before you can claim it as a dependent on next year's taxes?

Johnny sucks off Hasselbeck while Rich films it in the corner with the hand he's not spanking off with.

Our Governor Can Go Back Through Time To Change The Future To Make It So That Your Governor Wasn't Even Born AND/OR Kick His/Her Ass

Crossing The Bridge Before You Come To It

Yes, I live in California. Yes, our new governor can go back through history to kick your governor's ass before he was even born. Yes, the majority of voters are probably insane. Either that or a bunch of people heard "Jingle All The Way 2004" was coming or something.

But here's the thing, from where this Oklahoma Sooner sits, hosses: I don't really care. At least not yet. As long as I have a job, and aren't getting hassled too hard for my beliefs or apathy towards most things, I'm probably not going to care. The state, from what little bits I've gleamed from the sugar packets, is fucked regardless for a while. So if we must go down, let us go down in an entertaining manner.

Besides, he's just using the plan I want to use when I make my run in a few years: be charismatic, grope a lotta bitches, and surround yourselves with people who know what they're doing. Governor's essentially figurehead anyways. So huzzah for the Governator.

I wonder if it's too late for me to put a patent down on "Don't Blame Me, I Voted For Flynt" t-shirts and stickers?

Hmmm...
