Guffaw, SNORT!

Alright so in the midst of the heatwave in Brooklyn, not being able to sleep for more than 2 hrs, being w/o my roomie, and being rather um, depressed, there happened to come on one of my fave movies. Van Helsing. Go ahead, laugh, it's all good. I mostly like it cos theres monsters DUH and even more importantly, Richard Roxburgh who plays Dracula. From what my friends have said, I'm a weirdo about my older slightly creepy effiminate men infutuations, well we all have our things don't we? Bottom line, although I was sitting IN FRONT of our lil ac window unit to merely NOT DIE, ol' Richard cheered me up a bit. Although I did have a nightmare after the movie which I won't go into cos you'll be like, "bitch needs some therapy." I will say it involved me, Richard Roxburgh, an amputated foot and his midget girlfriend. YEAH. Anyway, because I'm still riding my obsession with YouTube, I wanted to see if they had anything with Richard as Dracula. And then I found this GEM set to Depeche Mode's "Strange Love." I can't handle it, seriously, I peed my pants a little when I watched it. GENIUS.

WTF. Who has enuff time on their hands?! Well..okay I *am* wasting time blogging, so who even THINKS of these things?! Well whoever you are you big weirdo, cheers to you.

Church News update: Marjorie Fair are playing a show with the Chuch! Sadly, it's in Cali. Boo! That show would make me FAINT and/or die. Seriously. Almost like when the Stills opened for the Bunnies..it's like a young band that def owes something to this other band plays with them, I just can't handle it. It's like, amazing music sung by hotties, where you get both the youngin and older versions..oy! And seriously, when I first saw Evan Slamka the singer for MF I was like, "Damn. He's a baby Stevie K." Checkit:





Seriously, for realz, I'm not crazy. Speaking of cute frontmen, I'm going to have to be nerdy and and admit I looked up this band Moaning Lisa on Youtube. I had a fun couple nights with them last Fall when they visited from LA and played after my friend's band @ Siberia. Courtesy of a um, feeeew, I got the courage to make friends with the singer first, David George. At first it was because he was a great singer and was cute and had tattoos, but then I found out he and the other bandmates were adorable and sweeties. I'm rambing. Bottom line, I want them to come back to NYC and play this song. Rawr.

Make you dead make you hippa hippa hippa

So this is my horoscope today. I haven't been reading it or putting much stock into that stuff recently, but I thought this was a fun one. Hmmmm..

Haha, nice. I've learned my lesson a million times and maybe one day I'll act on the fact I know that I've already learned that lesson. I'm confused and apathetic and tired and longing all at once. And all I can do is listen to fucking the Bunnies' Porcupine cos it sounds as schizo as I feel. Also a lil' of the Cure's the Top is pretty much effed up times 4. That song Bananfishbones and Piggy in the Mirror are so beyond weird..I wonder if they have a vid on youTube!! Curse you, youTube! Good Lord, they have a live version..jesus he looks crazy.



My fortune cookie today says, "You will find yourself in a position of dignity in the end."

.....

No comment. ANYway enuff of the superstitious mumbojumbo, I'm an Aries and I'm a mess MOVING ON. Wifey's leaving me to vacay in Vegas with her sis, where she will be putting dolla bills down a banana hammock at some point. Good lord. But what will I do without her for 4 days?! Will I survive?! Who will go the Library with me and tell me when I am dressed like a crazy person and tell me to get a life when I spill my guts about some silly drama?! Who will be all, "THIS IS THE GREATEST DAY OF MY LIFE!!!" with me like this?!?

HAHAHA. Stay tuned. And if you're friends with me..please come and hang out cos I'll be lonely without my better half.

Whyyyy?!

WHY do I effing LOVE this man so much?! I think the more bizarre and twisted people (..the menfolk) are, the more I love them. This video makes me feel really happy in a "should I really be loving this?" kinda way, I just want to watch it on repeat. I met Crispin once..well, if by "meet" you mean I was at some Underground Film festival to see his movie "What is it?" and I saw him and freaked out and ran outside to call Sara, who was like, "WTF bitch? GO SAY HELLO" and then I was standing by the door about to go back in and MAYBE approach, then the door opens and OY Crispin comes out and looks right at me standing next to him like a deer in the headlights, then kinda smiling dazedly, then him turning away and walking down the street, with me returning to squeal to Sara (still on the phone)..then YUP I met Crispin Glover. He's soooo tall and pretty.




Willard is one of my all time fave movies..I remember the first time I saw the infamous Carlos D. of Interpol, I was like DAMN he's hot..he looks just like CG!! ANYWAY, it's gorgeous out, I'm just now getting over the Siren Fest in Coney ( I think I cracked my first Sparks at um 4 in the afternoon), and I don't have to go to work. I just want to drink iced coffee with Sassy, look at cute local indie boys, and then listen to random music like this all day. FUCK YOU Youtube..you have taken over my life with your obscure new wave gems!! ACk! I swear, when I was in high school this song was my JAM and my friends were all listening to Nelly or Destiny's Child or effing Pearl Jam, and they all thought I was bananas. But now this stuff is hip..haha, well I think it is anyway. I can just see some iPod DJ playing it in some basement party on the LES and all the leotarded hiptards going apeshizz. But seriously, the best rhyme EVER="My name is Ted, and one day, I'll be dead yo yo yo"..POETRY.



SHUTUPSHUTSHUT

UP

They have the freaking song from Legend! I'm going to laugh myself into oblivion now. I love it so much, just like I did when I first saw that movie and sang this song age 7. UNICORNS!! If anyone has this freaking mp3 PLEASE PLEASE email it to me!

No matter what the eff is wrong with my ridiculous life

I effing LOVE Goat Explosion!

<3!!!!

Holy moly. I think I could be, gasp!, happy again. For right now. Thank you, Goat Explosion, I owe you. The new songs sounded FANtastic and they even busted out the oldie but good from the Elkland days (not so long agoooo!)...if you haven't seen the video, get ready to live, Bub. And if you don't have the Elkland album "Golden", get the effers on that.

It was so comforting in some way to see Jon P. dance again! Ahhh, his crazy cutie-pie robot dancing...

Like a reeeeal reptiiiiiiile..

This is the Church's US Tour Poster! Woot!

So today on Steve K.'s blog he kept true on his promise his readers could all comment one question each and he'd answer every single one. My first reaction was, " Do you like the band Interpol??" This was then scrapped for, "What's yer favorite Disney animated movie?" which was OBVIOUSLY scrapped for the eventual winner, "Which was the last Bowie album you heard and liked?" I dunno. I wanted to ask a Church related question or a really funny question, but oh well. I'm interested in the Bowie thing anyway, cos he was my first hero, but that Reality album, yech! I digress.

I also had to reeeeeally stop myself from having my question be, "Did it hurt Steve?...when you fell from heaven, did it hurt?" HOLY CRAP. HAHA. Yes. But I didn't of course cos I don't want to scare him before we even meet.

*Update*

Steve's reply was, "Heroes...?!" That's caaa-RAZY! I mean, think of all the Bowie goodnes AFTER 1978 or so whenev that came out..a lot. A lot of wonderful Bowie shenans after that album! The Outside album=YUMMINS.

Yay America or something..so where's the free booze?

Are you a Holiday Whore???

Find out (like you don't already KNOW, pshhh!!)!

Mothereffer..that's funny. Should I lock myself in my room today or venture forth where the beers are free and perhaps some Sparks? Find a rooftop somewhere in Brooklyn? Yes, I think I will. The cycle must be broken dammit, and I am feeling particularly bitch enuff to do it.

On an unrelated note, I can't fucking wait to see the Church. Sigh! It's been like 2 years.

So Wikipedia has this to say about Stevie K! Awesome!

Also, it has this pretty widdle pic of him palying, um, something, altogether now..AWWWWWWW! He's presh!

I saw ya at the barricades, babe

Ahh, soooo this weekend since Thursday has been TOO EFFING MUCH, even for me. Emotionally, physically, it's just a big ol' bucket of confusion. What's new you say? Well, I guess nuthin, I never *quite* know what the hell is going on. Between my family, my friends, my crushes, my job, my designer's block..ARGH! ANYway, now that the Bunnytour '06 is over, let's do a lil' recap, hey, let's do some hilights!

Quality time with one of my bestest and oldest friends! A shot of whiskey with her even (well, hers was tequila)! She was with me the first time I saw them in the summer of 2001, after high school graduation. She doesn't quite understand the Ian thing, but she's put up with it since we were 17 and she never let's me down! Plus she's freakin adorable, and then she busts out the most vulgar sailor's mouth EVER. Yay!

Ian kicking that guys hand at the TLA show, yeah, that was pretty awesome. The Disease still on the set list..YES. Ian's Roadhouse Blues and Walk on the Wild Side..double YES. People recognizing me as Krissythegroupie..Yes? Haha, it was slightly odd, but they were all fellow Bunnynerds and super nice so I'd give it a YES. Also, I got my first actual Bunnytour tshirt since 2001! They've had such horrible ones for the past few years..and this is even in a girly size! Yay!

Now for the NYC show I had gotten like, 4 hrs sleep tops before gettin my ass to work, hungover. Once I got back to NYC from home it was like I hadn't seen wifey in aaaaaages and we began the celebrating with a carafe of sangria. And then some drinks at our fave bar. Bottom line, Saturday started a lil' ruff, but once out of work and on my way to Irving with my friend, I was reenergized! And then the sake helped, hehe. My front and center position at the show was pretty fucking fantastic, I must say. This dude was kinda in front of me and then, out of nowhere, completely dissapears after the opening band. So that worked out nicely for yours truely.

Ian's dancing and cig volleying were in fine form, yay! He seemed much more into it and playful than at the Philly show. Still a bit grumpy at times, but FUCK he's Ian!! I LOVE when he makes fun of the audience and mumbles and whatnot. Precious! The set list was the same and this tours was light on the new stuff..but Scissors in the Sand was rizzockin!

After the show I decided it wasn't worth it to wait around to see if I could say hullo to Ian instead of heading to the Annex, so with a heavy heart, I did NOT see Ian this tour. Oh, well. The afterparty was pretty great and Will deejays some fun oldies, and the Bunnyforumites were out in full force! I bit too much whiskeyshots and I remember I said something dorky to Will.. I forget now what it was. But I know it was pretty dorky like, " This was my 15th show I love you!" Nice. My friend Darren asked the guitarist where Ian was ( and tells him that I'm crazy in love with Ian or something..thanks Darren! ) and he says, "In his hotel room doing drugs." Hmmm. This is my hero, huh? Why can't Ian just do the drugs in the bathroom of the bar like every other rock star? JOKING. But seriously, that's kind of a bummer. I guess you can only be a rock star for so long before you get jaded and just want to go back to the hotel and get high. Sigh! I can understand I guess. I still <3 him.



But the night was awesome to the max, and the next day after all these shenangans, I was pretty much a narcoleptic. I would be awake watching tv on the couch with wifey for a couple hours, then fall asleep for 2 hours. ALL DAY. I woke up only to eat sushi haha. I'm still a lil' out of it today, but life goes on! I gotta get back to work getting work!

It's always funny after a Bunnytour when I get all these people's messages and phone calls finally and they all go, "Krissy! Damn, I thought you were dead!"

*Update*

My online friend from the Bunnyforum, Jack, actually reviewed me on my "performance" at the NYC show-HAHAHA! That made me laugh pretty dizzamn hard Jack, thanks! I hope the 3 stars was out of 4! I know I couldn't have let you down *that* much, I was wearing pink, I was front and center (materializing like magic!), and I had plenty of whiskey at the afterparty! I'm not a freaker-outer at shows ya know? I just get all spacey, in fact I think shows actually neutralize my craziness sometimes! Ian soothes the savage beast. Or the drunk beast. Or something. I am a nerd.
