"[someone] once said 'if you have the choice between printing the truth and printing the legend... print the legend.'" So was a quote early on in 24 hour party people which gave nice perspective on the movie that lay ahead of it. It was about the rise and fall of manchester's factory records, prominenly featuring looks at joy division and the happy mondays, and from the onset, you weren't worried about whether it was a documentary or a piece of fiction. and good for them for making that work.

good movie though, whoever played tony wilson i liked a lot. made me want to listen to joy division and buy the new order box set that just came out. also made me wish i wasn't sitting in my living room on a saturday night watching a movie, but instead was out living a life i can't possibly live. not my fault my friends are all squares. ha. maybe one friday i'll bite the bullet and go check out start! alone. but probably not.

before that movie, i watched the karate kid, which is a damn fine movie. then, after the movie, abc family tried to trick me into watching the next karate kid. had it been karate kid 2, there'd be no question. but the fucking next karate kid, with hillary swank? they almost had me though, sadly. the first strike was very early on when hillary swank's grandma yelled at her and called her susan, Hillary's reply. "It's [name.] Not susan. Susan is your daughter- my mother. and two years ago she and my father died in a car crash." now that's just fabulous writing. why bother naturally giving us a backstory when you can just awkwardly tie it up in a sentence that no one would ever say. The second strike was when hillary swank broke into the high school and climbed up on the roof to talk to her... pet hawk. and strike three didn't even get a chance to present itself. when she talked to the hawk i went for the remote as quickly as possible and started 24 hour party people.

hahah, i simply cannot hear the beginning of "love will tear us apart" without fully and honestly expecting the missy elliott vocal to kick in. awesome.

so let's go back to thursday, the night i was a 24 hour party person. Adam was playing trombone on a few songs in a band down at Great Scott. I left home around 7, intending to check out roggie's because mark was having some benefit for some councilman dude and there would be free beer and food. however, it was downstair's roggie's, so when i got there i had no way of seeing what it was like. so i said screw it, got some pizza, and hopped the T down to coolidge corner, where i just walked around for about an hour.

go to great scott, said hello to adam, then i see some kid and think "that looks like lex" and it was lex. his band was playing that night as well. awesome. so i hung around, drank beers saw live music. went to redneck's with a couple of katie's friends afterwards where queso fries were most certainly had, and then we went back to 14 lake, for drinks and god knows what, but somehow, at 6am, there were like 6 of us out on the front porch. at 6:30 i headed home, showered, made some coffee, and headed downtown. got an omelette at steve's and then went to work for the worst day of my life. For my lunch break, i actually just set the chair to full recline and took a nap. To say i was useless there that day would be a vast understatement.

on my way home, i stopped by hollywood video to look for some movies to rent. it makes sense to go there since it is walking distance from work and makes pickups and returns easy. i walked in and had no idea what was going on. the layout was all weird and i coudln't understand it and the colors throughout the store were all strange and i was confused and had to leave. took the d line home and hit good old recognizable blockbuster. picked up secretary and 24 hour party people.

was supposed to watch the movie with katie when she got back from finding nemo, but at 7pm i passed out and when she got home felt it not right to wake me up. probably the right decision.

got up around 9 or 10 this morning, made some coffee, dropped off dry cleaning and laundry (this makes twice now i'm making use of the wash and fold service, i could not feel more lazy) then back home for some serious video games. the katie and i watched secretary, which was a charming look at sado-masochism which was neither offensive nor humerous. it basically treated s&m like any other relationship so that we're watching it and saying "yeah, ok, i get that." or maybe just me, i shouldn't be speaking for katie like that.

then i went and got more presto's and some beer, came home and watched karate kid, etc.

also, after some pretty heavy research earlier, i determined that the chick with short hair in t.A.T.u. is hot and the other one is not. which only goes to further cement the posit that given the choice between a girl with a boy haircut and a girl with a girl haircut that i will go with the boy haircut. i like to think that that makes me progressive or something, but i'm sure it just makes me one step closer to gay.

i should just close this window, but then what if i have some brilliant, or at least vaguely interesting though? then what, make a new entry?

no, instead i'll just leave this up and spew randomly into it as i see fit. maybe not.

c'mon wheaton, update the blog more. what the fuck else am i supposed to do at work? work?

i live for drugs.

it's great.
