"Lust for Life" 2004-03-07 - 3:34 a.m. older - previous - next - profile - host - my band - my lj "That's the Queerwig; it crawls into the ears of sleeping children and turns them into gay teens." today was interesting, to say the least first I went over to Stephanie's where she, Robyn, and I watched the Digimon Movie I didn't particularly want to (I've avoided Digimon entirely because it's a very blatant rip-off of Pokemon in an attempt to cash in on what a craze the 'collectible monsters' fad was and still is) but I was surprised it actually had a good plot by any standards not just "for a crappy Pokemon knock-off" standards it surprised me Stephanie also gave me my Christmas present finally Shaft In Africa; which is bad-ass Shaft is the best, that's all there is to it but also the FLCL soundtrack which is good, of course but I'm very dissapointed; because my absolute favorite song wasn't on there it's this one track they only play in the last episode where even though they're singing in Japanese I swear to God during the chorus the guy is singing: "I think I can" over and over; louder and louder and it's just the most soul-stirring, "overcoming impossible odds"-type track I've ever heard and I was really anticipating the soundtrack for that track specifcally but it's not on there not as a hidden track or anything I feel like Butch at the end of Pulp Fiction: "she could've taken all the other shit and burned it; all I cared about was the fucking watch!" with the watch being that track and the 'other shit' being the other songs ok, so I'm not that upset and the other songs are fantastic but I really wanted that song Goddamnit anyway, after that we went to Stephanie's drag show and the night was really weird it kept bouncing back and forth between "no fun" and "lots of fun" repeatedly it was bizarre I got Carlos good, though Carlos doesn't hang around with us that much, but when he does it's mostly at Stephanie's shows and he and I have a running gag that we're lovers and so when he was leaving we were standing in front of the club surrounded by a shitload of legitamitely gay people and he says: "I'm going to go wander the streets alone" or something and I said: "well don't pick up anyone dirty." he thought for a second and then said: "that's gonna be tough." then he started to walk away and added: "I'm not making any promises." so; surrounded by people who were actually gay, may I remind you, I yelled after him(even though he wasn't really far enough away to justify yelling as loud as I did): "I better not catch anything from you!" And he stopped and turned around and stared at me with that "you bastard" amused-but-pissed look for much longer than I expected him to for a second I thought he was actually pissed and meanwhile practically the whole crowd in front of the club stopped talking and stared at the two of us who were staring at eachother smiling before he finally turned and left it was excellent I just wish I could've done a goofy voice or acted serious or something but it was still pretty good so after that we went to a resteraunt in a large, freakish-looking group and there I faced the problem I always have whenever my friends get together, which is: I enjoy getting together with a group of my friends, because we always do fun things like that but whenever I'm in a large group; people pair-up and the group fragments into smaller groups who talk amongst themselves and 9 times out of 10 I'm left as the odd man out; walking or sitting by myself and getting gradually more depressed as the night goes on tonight I had Robyn but the two of us were both left alone as the odd pair out so I don't know like I said, lots of shifting between 'fun' and 'no fun' once I got home I wrote the second part of that song Ruben wanted me to write well, the guitar anyway I need to get the bass done and then the lyrics for all of it but the guitar is done for both parts I'm pretty proud of it and I don't know why but this song is filled with anti-Ruben sentiment like, I want to write the basslines for both parts so that if we ever break-up; he can't have the song that he wanted me to write for him it'll be totally mine and then since he's always bitching about the songs being too long; I followed Interpol's lead and made the song real long both parts together clock in at roughly 8 minutes heh heh I don't know why it's like that but it is whatever I'm going to see the Yeah Yeah Yeahs in 3 days!
