There was this friend of mine, needed something we couldn’t give convenient
answers and a cheap way out killed himself without actually dying, took a
blunt lie and gouged out his mind And I can’t accept that he’s found the
answers to those questions I’ll be trying to solve until I die And I can’t
accept that he’s somehow “better off” because the answers aren’t that simple
we always assumed he wasn’t either and I want his beautiful religion to burn
because Steve’s dead… I wasn’t offered the chance to say goodbye.

So my iBook is still in the shop…
Friday found me eating some god damned amazing Thai food. Met up with Jahanna and Cara at Burrito Max, then we walked up to Newburry Street where I scored this sick crew of Dunny’s…

ran into Erik, The Blondes, and Thorns and we all decided to go to Spike’s…

Went to see Mastadon on Saturday, which is always fucking awesome. My dumbass forgot to leave my knife in the car and had to hide it in a drainage pipe next to the club. We decided to go to the movies with the Walls of Jericho kids after the show. Manchurian Canidate was the unfortunate peice of shit that we decided to waste our time and money on…
the large black man that Jonas called out for kicking his chair, and the weird ass girl who decided to tell Candice that her band was awesome in the middle of the movie provided far more entertainment than the film itself. After the movie I got dropped off on Lansdowne so I perform a little recon mission on my knife, at his point its about 2 am and all the bars have emptied out flooding the streets with whores, scamps, jocks, euro trash, and other shining examples of life in New England, oh yeah and cops, lots of cops. After about 20 minutes of milling around by myself and being annoyed I decided to just say fuck it and grab the fucking thing in front of everyone…

Sunday brought the gym and some good company and Some Kind of Wonderful on AMC…

Ran accross this interesting bit about Stanely Kubrick on The Guardian today…

In 1968, Kubrick embarked on one of his most ambitious and personal projects thus far: an epic biography of Napoleon Bonaparte, with Jack Nicholson playing the emperor. Napoleon was a lifelong obsession and Kubrick intended to cover the entire sweep of his life, with full-scale reconstructions of his battles, requiring some 50,000 extras (Kubrick often noted the similarities between filmmaking and mounting a battle campaign).

The director worked for two years on the film, immersing himself with a team of researchers in a minute analysis of the Napoleonic era, developing a day-by-day account of court life and a catalogue of 15,000 images of the period. With characteristic ingenuity he found special lenses to film exteriors in the evening and low-cost paper fabric for the soldiers’ uniforms. He even got the Romanian army to agree to provide tens of thousands of men for the battle scenes.

In 1969, however, MGM studios balked at the cost of Kubrick’s epic, despite the unprecedented success of his film 2001: A Space Odyssey. Kubrick went to Warner Brothers, where he made A Clockwork Orange, but he never gave up hope for Napoleon. If he had achieved his vision, A Clockwork Orange might never have been made. That film’s success sealed his relationship with Warner Brothers and led to his masterpieces Barry Lyndon and The Shining.

My iBook’s hard drive shit the bed the other day. I awoke to her purring in an odd fashion and found she wouldn’t wake from her sleep. She is at the APPLE store currently and is being repaired… sadly I was told it will take a week. What the fuck if I had the hard drive I could do it myself in 10 minutes. Oh well they did say they would switch out my iPod for a new one so I really can’t complain.

Needless to say, I won’t be adding to this thing as often over the next couple of days…
I need to give the HELLFEST 2004 run down when I have more time.

The AKA’s played Blackout Bar last night and it was good to hang out with everyone, especially Mike Ski and Mike DC.
