Strawberry Fields Forever
I live in these apartments called Abbey Road. The street I live on is called Penny Lane. The administration decided to put this up:
I hadn't even noticed. Last week when Lela and Kathleen came over to watch Sex and The City, they pointed it out. It was the first time I saw the show with someone yelling out "show some dick!"

International Posters
I uploaded a scan of my Japanese Ghost World Poster, I love the back of it, with all their outfits. I don't have this "Lolita" one, but I like it too.

[ Poses - Rufus Wainwright ]
I did go from wanting to be someone now
I'm drunk and wearing flip - flops on Fifth Avenue
And you said watch my head about it
Baby you said watch my head about it
L. C.
...not only am I lonely but alone. I am like an eye dangling by a few nerves from a man’s socket, and I long for detachment or to be part of the body whole, anything but blind useless pain. I have not given up by any means so don’t let me depress you. There are insights to be gained from the tedious chaos. I could do so without such an education but since I have no choice I might as well learn. Laughter is a first in the face of the gods and I will make those heavenly faces bloody and blue

Something I drew today, while on the phone at work.
Movies I need to watch 2
The Whole Wide World DVD comes out next week. I also want to watch "Ma femme est une actrice'" ( because Ludivine Sagnier is in it) and "Guinevere". I get asked what the movie is about all the time becuase I have the poster in my apartment. The most concise version would be: Art + Humbert Humbert.

[ First we take Manhattan - Leonard Cohen ]
Ah you loved me as a loser, but now you're worried that I just might win
You know the way to stop me, but you don't have the discipline
How many nights I prayed for this, to let my work begin

The Hot Pool
Saw "Swimming Pool" and loved it. Heard Pulp's "Trees" while at lunch at P.F. Changs and now I need to find that album, I feel like giving it another chance.

DVD Wants
I feel desolate. I feel like The Bends. "I wish, I wish that something would happen" . This morning I got a new CD to listen to on the way to work. Zooropa. On my way back I realized it was 10 years ago this summer that it came out. Its the first U2 album I got the day it came out. Half that summer was anticipation for it to come out. The rest was driver ed. I liked the LXG movie and don't get all the bad reviews it got. Alan Moore is a genius and he knows what's going on.

"I'm a burning hearth," he said
"People see the smoke
But no one comes to warm themselves
Pez
Randomly, from clicking on a link from 10000K, I ended up on the homepage of a photographer who took a Cat Power picture I used in one of my collages. Neverwhere is coming out on DVD, I barely remember watching an episode or two. DVD aquisition: Bjork: Royal Opera House. It is filmed really well and it has its highlights but there's too much Verperstine songs for my taste. That's my Wolverine Pez. I think I got it from Lela along with X-Men chocolate.

Postcards
To end my very stressfull work week, I'm accenting my cube. It wasn't until now that I noticed that this week's themes made it to my wall.
Neil's creation Tim Hunter + Andy and Alfred postcard I got from Carolyn.
Japan + Andy's Superman postcard I got from Brooke.
And a new collage, of course.

Ghost World
Clowes explains the film's title, "The America we live in is disappearing, bulldozed under our feet and constantly rehabbed and remodeled. It also refers more personally to the characters and the friendships that they've lost."
