Straight to Hell
Courtney Love in Alex Cox’s cult film Straight to Hell, yet another example of demonstrating why music stars aren’t typically good actors. Also starring Joe Strummer, Shane MacGowan and Elvis Costello. Definitely one of the worst films I’ve seen.
A far place for Courtney from recent times.

Nightmarish Deprarium
jess: last night i had actual editing nightmares ALL NIGHT
jess: that bled into reality when i woke up
jess: boyfriend had given me a pamphlet to edit, apparently
jess: and so any time i woke up i'd be like, "i can't believe this bastard gave me all this work and he's just sleeping"
jess: i was like genuinely pissed
JeffreyBeaumont: haahahahahahaha :-)
jess: but now, as a result, i am exhausted!
JeffreyBeaumont: i have a very deprarious reason why i am tired
JeffreyBeaumont: that i'm legitimately embarrassed to admit
JeffreyBeaumont: this is some serious rabbithole buillshit
jess: why are you legitimately embarrassed to admit it?
JeffreyBeaumont: well... it involved some serious internet rabbitholing and video games over MANY hours regarding, wait for it....
JeffreyBeaumont: ...MAGIC THE GATHERING
jess: hahahahahahaahahahahahahahaha
jess: WHAT
jess: amazing
JeffreyBeaumont: completely entirely totally not a joke
jess: hahahah
TIME PASSES:
TIME PASSES:
JeffreyBeaumont: so, did you finish editing shiva's shit?
jess: his imaginary shit?
JeffreyBeaumont: yes
jess: um, yes
jess: ha
jess: because it didn't exist
jess: so that helped
JeffreyBeaumont: wait
jess: i meant literal nightmares
jess: like, i was asleep
JeffreyBeaumont: ohhhhhhhh
JeffreyBeaumont: i thought you meant like the work was a nightmare
JeffreyBeaumont: hahahahahahahahahahaha
jess: ha, no. the actual editing i was doing had nothing to do with boyfriend, and is over

Oh, Winona
I’m awake at 1am on a weeknight, eating ramen and trying to feel alive, and it’s lead me to a late night showing of Bram Stoker’s Dracula.
After initially marveling at the magical terribleness of Keanu Reeves’s Cali-“British” accent, I was reminded that this film also features that great master of the English tongue, Winona. The fact that both of these two...

Ludwig and I
I have sort of specifically never given much of a shit about philosophy or philosophers before, but I do like a photo that can make me feel alive.
In poking through my iTunes for some late night time experimental electronic tunages, I discovered the Matmos Rose Has Teeth In The Mouth of a Beast record, all songs on which are “dedicated” to a certain famous-not-famous queer person. I...

Lost in Time
Tonight in exploring the new “Purchased” feature that lets you see and re-download past iTunes purchases, I discovered a long-ago acquired Season 1 Episode 1 of LOST, which I’d bought back in late 2005 or early 2006 after hearing much about the show.
In a whim of nostalgia, I just downloaded the episode and watched it (on my… iphone? …yeah). In an instant I was...

More Talk, Less Head
Benjamin: have you ever listened to Talk Talk?
Jayson: not once
Benjamin: i am listening to Laughing Stock right now for the first time ever. it makes me think of laurie anderson, minus laurie anderson’s singing
Jayson: haha, you hate Laurie Anderson too, so I knew that was a bad sign
Benjamin: this record feels futuristically boring
Benjamin: like, “portending a future...

ON BECK, MUSICIAN: THE LONGEST TUMBLR POST EVER
On Beck.
So, seriously, I am not joking: what follows might be among the longest Tumblr posts ever. And if you created a ratio of wordlength:garbage, this post might be the most painfully worthless collection of words ever generated by a human.
What is it?
About seven years ago, not long after I started blogging on slangeditorial.net (RIP, Slang. Poke around if you wanna see my old writing....

“As Kornheiser’s popularity increased, through PTI and Monday Night...”
– Michael MacCambridge on Tony Kornheiser in a republishing of a 1980 essay by Kornheiser on Nolan Ryan: http://www.grantland.com/story/_/id/6761350/bringing-all-back-home.
I really love this quote.

my sister reminded me tonight of this email below, which I sent a year and a half ago to my immediate family.
pretty sure that, weirdly enough, i had just suddenly had an important desire to be frugal and minimalist.

Anthony Weiner, You Are A Bozo
Seriously dude. Seriously.
Mr. Weiner said the indiscretion was part of a pattern of sending inappropriate and at times explicit photos and messages to women he met over the Internet.
Dude! You are a fucking US Representative… and not even suggesting that either of these outcomes should happen, but to get a little hardass and Machavellian, you could pick up all the real ladies you...

I finally watched an episode of Glee and feel somewhat satisfied in knowing that I am in no danger of whatsoever of “secretly” enjoying this show or ever wanting to watch it again.
