Incognito

Cut and dyed my hair. It's what I call my "incognito hair" because it feels like a disguise.

I am such a spy.

Just in time for Hardly Strictly and Lovefest this weekend. It's going to be so much fun. I'm very very excited.

Night tour.

Zeigeist

I am OBSESSED with this group right now. I think we all know that Swedish-electro artsy weirdness is seriously my weakness when it comes to music but they are SO good. ENJOY.

This weekend has been W-I-N

Thus far I have done these things:

1. Went to Nightlife at the Academy of Sciences and looked at animals and sort of learned things.
2. Went to The Silver Spur dressed in my finest cowboy gear with a boy also dressed in his cowboy gear.
3. Got inspired by watching far too much Project Runway and took scissors, paint, and the sewing machine to a bunch of my clothes to make new things out of old things.
4. Painted
5. Went barhopping with Chris and leered at cute boys who I'm pretty sure were all gay but that made it kind of hotter.
6. Went on a solo two-hour hike around Stow Lake, up Strawberry Hill, and through random parts of Golden Gate Park. Took some pictures.
   
7. Bought supplies for collaging

I will probably start on some collaging in a bit. And since I don't work until 1:45 tomorrow afternoon I can totally go out! Now to find something to do tonight.....

Pictures!

The full set is here!

god damn

I just saw Charles for the first time in 2 years. He and Ryan came up to visit. 5 days of no work. More alcohol than I can believe a 95 lb girl could consume. EPIC WIN. Pictures are coming soon.

Good Night.

Another 12 hour day. It was a good one. I have a four day weekend this week, starting Thursday. Charles and Ryan will be up on Friday. Three days of shenanigans will follow. I don't think the city is ready. I need to rest up.

call me on your way back home-sophia

the best ryan adams cover i've ever heard.

OMG

Today is like a hot German guy buffet. I am dying. Maybe having to
work a 12 hour day today won't be so bad after all.

Jesus Fuck

Nick Cave's voice makes me want to molest people.

The Cat Piano from PRA on Vimeo.

Fantastic.

Tom Waits - Never Let Go

God I fucking love this song. I just heard it in an AdCouncil commercial about how 1 in 8 people are starving or some shit. What the two have to do with each other I have no idea but it made me smile all huge and happy all the same. Thanks AdCouncil! Thanks starving Americans!

Work today

Has been awesome and ridiculous and great. There have been hot, fun
tourists. I just spent an hour and a half watching a presentation by
Ranger Al (the best ranger!) about famous inmates. I'm off in 3 hours
and that's been my day basically. How do I get paid to do this? Ha.

Propagandhi - Rock For Sustainable Capitalism live

So I've been having a Propagandhi listening party in my room tonight. I was just talking the other day about how much I love Potemkin City Limits. And this is such a great song from that album.

And I just now read that Katy Perry is performing at Warped Tour. There's no way I could not post this.

Miles Fisher - This Must Be The Place (Cover)

Best Christian Bale doing Patrick Bateman impression I've ever seen. Completely nails the facial expressions. Hilarious.

Today is full of ridiculous conversations. This is one I just had with my sister. (And yes, she means trademark)

(11:15:22 AM) Valerie: i need a favor
(10:33:55 PM) Marie: what favor?
(9:22:12 AM) Valerie: i need you to get something copyrighted for me :)
(9:22:25 AM) Marie: uh, how would i do that?
(9:22:28 AM) Valerie: but i dont want to ruin my "professional" image
(9:22:29 AM) Valerie: hahah
(9:22:33 AM) Marie: hahahaha
(9:22:35 AM) Valerie: so it can't be in my name
(9:22:39 AM) Marie: i see
(9:22:42 AM) Marie: what is it?
(9:22:53 AM) Valerie: "go anal or go home"

Another A+ plan, this time from my other ex-boyfriend.

(9:08:06 AM) Charles: can you pre-program common text messages into your phone so you can send form letter like texts?
(9:08:13 AM) Marie: yes, yes you can
(9:08:55 AM) Charles: you should write up common ones with like "Dear {your name} , This generic text is to let you know that you are boring. fuck off. -The Mgmt"
(9:09:11 AM) Marie: haha
(9:09:18 AM) Charles: and only use canned responses with people you no longer want to talk to
(9:09:52 AM) Charles: like have 3 of them, first contact niceish one from the management, 2nd one from your lawyer
(9:10:13 AM) Charles: and the 3rd a threat of sending to douche bag collections
(9:10:42 AM) Charles: my plan is wonderful
(9:11:04 AM) Charles: also document it on a blog called "You failed to fuck me twice."
(9:11:08 AM) Marie: HA
