Saying sorry’s my problem
Oh my god. The download festival at Shoreline?: The Cure, A.F.I., Kings of Leon, Black Rebel Motorcycle Club, She Wants Revenge, Metric, The Black Angels. I WANT TO GO SO BADLY!!! ACK! The Cure, AFI, BRMC, and She Wants Revenge ALL TOGETHER!!! *sniff* Plus – I don’t know Kings of Leon, but I’ve heard good things. Ah well – there’ll be other music festivals… God – I think the last time I was at Shoreline was for… Bush? Maybe? A very long time ago. Also – I heard that on their latest tour The Cure chose not to have a opener band, and instead just play for 2 hours. How awesome is that?
I have heard from no one. I double checked my cell phone, and yes, I put down the right number. Not even the multiplex. Or the bookstore. Worrisome. However, I did get to sleep in, and I’ve been wandering around the city taking photos. And now, checking my email and updating my netflix (fun!) – but still nothing.
Okay – I want to see heroes, mostly because of this. Which I saw in a store window. I don’t listen to Fergie (seriously – what is she wearing??). But Milo Ventimiglia? Yes, please.
I didn’t realize that Me First had covered goodbye, earl (one of the few country songs I enjoy). Awesome.
Ooh! Nellie McKay playing sorry live. I met her – she was lovely.
Hey! Daphne has a new album out (I managed to find most of souvenirs on the interwebs). Of course its on sh-k-boom, which is Adam Pascal’s label for bway stars and rock musicals. Alice Ripley (Daphne’s co-star in Rocky Horror) has her album out on the same label. And hey! Jennifer Hudson sings Easy to be Hard on the HAIR actors benefit CD (I have Adam Pascal doing I Got Life). Makes sense – the girl won an oscar for being able to belt it out – although the movie version is still better.
How scary is this? If you heard the film title, “Hell House”, you’d assume it was a low-budget teen horror flick, right? nuh-uh. The synopsis, “Every year, in Dallas, Texas, the Trinity Church holds an event called ‘Hell House’, a new evangelical slant on the traditional haunted house – only instead of ghosts and goblins, the patrons witness botched abortions, date rape, drunk-driving accidents and other modern-day horrors. This lively film, with unprecedented access to the organizers, tracks the entire fire-and-brimstone process from the initial script meeting to the final ‘show’.” EUGH!! And apparently it gets something like 10,000 visitors a year.
Ha! I have 500 movies in my netflix queue. 50 are ones not yet on DVD, but still. Whoops – there were several that I have actually seen over the last 9 months. I actually have 482 on there. Top 10; Picnic at hanging rock, the year of living dangerously, Munich, strictly ballroom, 25th hour, deer hunter, 3 days of the condor, glengarry glen ross, some like it hot, amores perros.
musica: tear you apart/these things – She wants revenge, wrong number/just like heaven – the cure, stiff kittens/ on a friday -blaqk audio (wait for it – the spin off from AFI. Obsessed? Just a wee bit. Oh – and get this – their debut concert will be at popscene in SF. Dave and I went there to hear Elefant. San Francisco is so the center of the universe. 😉 )

1. You haven’t seen Strictly Ballroom?
2. One of my friends went to a Hell House and he said that it was so intense that it almost made him want to convert
3. WHAT WAS FERGIE WEARING?!?!
4. Yes, you do need to watch Heroes
If it’s Fergie the Pea, not the Duchess, gofugyourself is always having fun with her.
Somebody’s homesick.
I joined NetFlix b/c someone I love suggested it. I got my first movie, but she and her brother refused to watch it with me. *sniff*
And now, I’ve lost the movie and can’t send it back, so I’ll never get another one. *sniff* *sniff* (that’s a double sniff)
Let me know if the above works…
1. I know. I’ve been meaning to see it (strictly ballroom) forever. Maybe I’ll rent it here.
2. The hell house thing is just so, so wrong.
3. Oh my god – I know. Its the same highwaisted overall-things she’s been fugged for;

4. I’ll have to catch the DVD when I come home.
I’m not homesick. I’m merely pointing out that the music scene in San Francisco rocks.
I’m sure netflix will allow you to buy the lost DVD and start over. Plus – it sould be somewhere in the living room – did you check on top of all the videos? And I thought we did watch it – wasn’t it that 3 coins in a fountain thing?
If what the above works? The guilt trip? No waay… 😉
Oh I totally hate that song! “Three coins in a fouuunaaaain…” My sister used to sing that and “Isn’t it romaaannntiiiiic” to each other when we used to go the Stanford theatre!
No, the netflix movie was Paper Moon. I got it b/c I wanted to share it with both of you when you were home, and you both refused to watch it.
I forced you to watch 3 coins in a fountain b/c as sappy as it is, it has good location shots of Rome, and we were going there. Plus, Louis Jourdon is cute.
I tried to force you to watch A Room With a View before we saw Florence, but I was unsuccessful.
And sadly, I’m ALWAYS unsuccessful at getting you kids to feel guilty. Damn it! I must have done something wrong….
You so did not try to get us to watch a room with a view, because that’s in my netflix queue and I want to see it.
There must have been a reason we didn’t feel like seeing paper moon that time; because I’ve always wanted to see Tatum O’Neil (pre- Rescue Me, that is).
I was looking up suggestions for travel films, and 3 coins in a fountain popped up…
