Bang Bang Incubators

I am lonely tonight.

Tonight I want to clean my apartment and assasinate my paperwork and paint my crocodile puzzle and wooden hand. It is 10:00 p.m.

I want to make a plan for animating my life. Is it strange to make a schedule for finding a passion? I look at other peoples lives and they are filled with art and crackerjacks and sports and monkeyshines and hobbies and bonfires. I want busty bees bellydancing in museums, chimneysweeps clogdancing in parlors. I want exploding stories at the end of each week.

First I need to plunge my poisonous stinko toilet. I think this must be what gargoyles smell like.

Excuse me, but I'm proud that I have 2 Hillary Duff songs on my computer.

My words were hurdling over themselves to get to you* and now
now I forgot all the things I promised myself I'd remember
but my head is too dreamy. Sounds like usual.


When anyone gets the hiccups or their voice becomes hoarse like mine is right now - - - - nnneeigh, they sound like a

bodacious boozehound
or charlie brown adult they sound like a game show degenerate masturbating in a dungeon

or whatever the perfect words would be.

You know what sounds awesome? Falling asleep 8 hours ago.

Also, treating myself to an extreme sausage sandwich and chocolate shake on my way to work in 3 hours.

Lets pray that I save my last cigarette 'til the car ride tommorow AMEN.


*no, not youuuuuu, YOU

Dont believe your own press

I thought that piece of advice was only for silly sunken-eyed celebrities but now I realize that while Ive been thinking Im hot shit, truth is, I'm really cold diarrhea.

I probably get hit on/asked out on a date 5-10 times a week and 'til now I attributed it to my badass crosswords attitude and social awkardness. For some reason I believed my shyness and refusal to engage in conversations with complete strangers held some sort of mysterious unintentional charm.

But then suddenly it dawned on me that I was a bar-star at a freaking sausage factory.

At Coach on any given night there are about 5 girls to every 40 guys.

So, even if I was sporting Sasquatch facial hair and grew a third lazy eye, people would still approach me as often and keep coming back even after being rebuffed.

You know, its ok though, that my guaranteed ego boost for bad-body days has crumpled under the weight of truth because now I get excited when the ladies at the bar give me attention and call me their friend.

Although, technically, I guess the women are just as fucked by the male/female ratio when it comes to making friends as the guys are when it comes to getting lucky.



Shit, I thinked I liked things better when I was still delusionally hifalutin.

Way to piss in the pickles, Katie.

Things to do in Los Angeles while I'm still alive

My Famous-By-Proximity Family

Why don't I blog more? Shame. I live in freakin' Hollywood, but it's my family in the midwest that rubs elbows with the glitterati and politicos. Swing state, whatever. NOTE: All of these photos have been taken in the last week.


CLEVELAND, OH
My sister with Hilary Swank...

and BUSCEMI (along with her friend Susan).



MADISON, WI
My brother with Natalie Portman.



NAPERVILLE, IL
My mom with Barack Obama



What's an older brother do to? My own mom said that if I didn't get a celebrity picture of my own, there would be no mention of me in the family's Christmas newsletter. I might also be disowned.

So I rang up a couple friends, pulled a few strings, and I managed to find a few B-listers to pose with.


LOS ANGELES, CA

Me and some friends.

Hopefully, I've secured some newsletter real estate for this year. I now pass the challenge to my father. Hey dad: Can. You. Top. This?

UPDATE: I am not dead.

Matthew sur un mobile de drole


Matthew and I are having a Mexican standoff over who should post. So I am posting my favorite pic of him from when he was in Paris.

I'm the screen, the blinding light
I'm the screen, I work at night

About 100 feet from my office (about 80 feet down and 80 over, you can do the math, Pythagorus), a stage is being built. A pretty significant rock jobby appropriate for large but temporary musical happenings.

Tomorrow, a band will be playing there. It most likely will be very loud. It most likely will suck. It will be there for some sort of annual party for E! employees. I'll be punished with shitty music while they're pleasured with watered down liquor and something chocolate.

If anyone out there knows what band is playing, please share and allow me to either 1. relax or 2. brace myself.

Thank you for your support.

OMG! The new issue of Cargo just landed on my doorstep!

I'm too fat, my TV is too thick, I smell bad, I can't tie a tie, I don't wear a watch, my scotch has too many malts, my iPod doesn't hold enough songs. My two speakers are 3.1 too few, my razor doesn't cut close enough, my beer is skunked, and i don't like the cut of my own jib. My life is too much noise, not enough signal.


CARGO: Because you hate what you are.
