The Squid and the Whale
Wellman Hall
Saturday, 6:30 pm
A totally awesome movie about a messed up family. Kind of like something Wes Anderson would have made, except darker and more original. One might even say it is the fillet of films.
graham k. says there is a cool show at delta venus so we should hit that up later.

Herrie and Wyndham's Going Away Picnic and Potluck
Sunday, August 21st
6:30 pm
Rainbow City Park (near DHS)
1) This is the last time you will see Herrie (before Christmas) and me (forever!).
2) We really want everyone there. If you are reading this, we want you! Do not think that just because we haven't hung out in a while means I don't want to see you. I do, very much so! Please come.
3) This is a POTLUCK. That means that EVERYONE brings some FOOD. Herrie and I will take care of blankets, forks, plates and cups and a small amount of food, but we really need everyone to bring something (drinks, dessert, main dishes, salads, bread, cheese, etc.). PLEASE DO NOT IGNORE THIS. It is our last time in Davis and we don't want to be stuck yet again with a $75 bill because people neglected to bring stuff. If you have a problem with this, or feel you cannot bring something due to money problems, just give me a call 757-6232 and we can work out a very discreet solution.
4) We will eat, drink, be merry, etc. and hopefully listen to some sweet tunes and do something after. Again, my family is moving from Davis so I may not EVER COME BACK so this means you better see me Sunday or else! Thanks!

SUNDAY, JULY 3rd
WELLMAN HALL
7:30 p.m.
This is the new Pedro Almodovar movie (Talk to Her, etc.). Basically, Gael Garcia Bernal is a transvestite and it's about a murder. I don't know anything else, except that you are guaranteed gay sex, violence, and cross-dressing! Don't be late!

in a culture where emotion is suppressed and true passion seems only to exist on blind date, it's amazing that music is so successful. because really, it's all about feeling. sure, there are anti-war songs and protest songs and silly songs about farting, but the majority of music released is about EMO(tions). backstreet boys got more feeling than the whole NFL. Linkin Park wants you to sympathize with their pain, keyboard style. even Ludacris has bad days sometimes, and he wants nothing more than to sing about it and maybe get a pat on his shoulder from his mama.
music is important to everyone, and everyone listens to it, so why does it become such a means of definition? somehow, someway in high school i got caught up in it, because i could say with a big helping of certainty that i knew more about the history of popular music than many other girls who walked the halls of davis high. i hoarded my replacements and buzzcocks records like a trophy, and when some twat in history class would admit to not knowing who nico was, i stifled a self-satisfied giggle.
but there's only so much time. and while i memorized obscure facts about black flag and tried hard to like sleater-kinney (i never could and still can't), i too would trip up. i made my friends mix cds of sonic youth songs, leading them too promptly guffaw when they played an animals record and i asked who we were listening to. i named-dropped the jesus lizard at shows when talking to boys. i tried really hard to like hardcore. still, sometimes i'd be in someone's car and a song would come on, and i'd ask who it was. some snot in the front seat would say "elvis" or something equally as well-known, i'd feel like i was back in third grade with my fly open.
there's that part in "high fidelity" (which isn't a great book, but i've read many times anyways) when rob and barry want to make that survey that you give to dating partners to make sure that they have compatible tastes. but if i learned anything from high school, it's that being friends with people who like the same things as you doesn't mean a goddamn thing. initially, we may bond over "train in vain," but in the end what you are like is the only factor worth consideration.
so come all you dead kennedys fans. if you love rush, i'll give it a listen. want to be the next pete townshend? you have my support. i'm starting over. who cares if you boast about having eight k.d. lang records? who cares if you don't know who my bloody valentine is, or if you think neil young's best album is "harvest moon," or if you think that the mighty mighty bosstones were the highlight of the nineties? not me, not anymore.
i can tell that we are going to be friends.

I am the new music critic for the Davis Enterprise. I cannot believe this!
6 reviews by next thursday. But i get FREE rad stuff. So far i've got the new Beck, Nine Inch Nails, 50 Cent, Queens of the Stone Age and Daft Punk releases, and there are many more envelopes to go.
So I need help finding a title for my column. The last dude's was "Heavy Rotation." I have to think of something better. Suggestions?

i've started listening to the beatles again, after a almost three year hiatus (but only something and julia). i've started listening to the rolling stones again (but only some girls, side A). i've started reading poetry again (but mostly only david lerner, who is so full of perfect rage and understands why none of our kind can live in the country and jeffrey mcdaniel, the tortured child all grown up who knows that those scars, well, they can span more then a century). i'm returning to my roots, so to speak, to the time when i bought a copy of naked lunch on a rainy day in paris or read ginsberg on a train (to be perfectly fair, i think i read ginsberg while listening to a train, but the theme is universal, right?). these days, i'm hanging around-i'm out of my heart but not quite out of my town.
anyways, the point of it all is that i've got my drugs i've got my woman and the sun showed itself today so at least for now i'm able to be a slightly cheeky and laugh at myself a little. yeah yeah yeah, it's going to be alright.

question: is it possible to create a lasting physical relationship with someone whom you are not attracted to? maybe i'm so wary with these things because i'm used to searching the room for the prettiest lad it has to offer and then constructing a charming personality to match. it's true that i'm often disapointed, but it does give me someone to look good standing beside. even if that's all he does, just stands.
and now i'm doing the personality thing, and it feels shaky and weird. yes, i'm aware of just how shallow i'm coming off as right now, but we all can agree that our youth gives us the right, if not the order, to simply be physical with someone because you like the turn of their mouth or the cut of their pants or what have you. it has nothing to do with the general view of looks, as i've wanted many a fellow that others have found unattractive. still it's odd, even somewhat uncomfortable, to imagine performing such acts with someone who you adore but for some reason just can't desire in the bedroom.
but i'm being ridiculous. every boy i meet is beautiful, and i love them all, even if they fail to notice a certain handshake or my own ordinary face.

oh god. can you believe it? i've lasted three precious days. even jon beat me at this game. oh well, it's final, i love you and i can't stay away.
so what's everyone doing this weekend? because i'd like to see each one of you. so if you are in a similar state of mind pen me a letter or just reply to this with the time and place and goodness, we shall be all set for general merriment, etc.
and we won't worry about how you don't know what you should do with your hands when you talk to me. and how i don't know where i should look, so i look at your hands. but nothing matters now. so if you need someone to hide behind, well i don't mind.

and how it whispered 'oh, adhere to me
for we are bound my symmetry
and whatever differences our lives have been
we together make a limb'
one of these mornings i'll wake up to someone who loves me just like that. and until then...well baby, i'm just biding my time.

right now you need a slap, straight down the face, touching home on the bridge of the nose. you are so painfully transparent my darling. don't you understand that you need separation in order to create something new? or that nothing is ever going to be the way that was, and you won't ever want anyone that much again? you are older and wiser, but this time around i'll dispense the advice. please, just learn how to hate me so we'll be prepared when we fall in love.
i couldn't get out of bed this morning. after one tangle with the sheets i surrendered. these are days, this is the grey morning and coffee growing stale in a spoon and the bleakness of six-thirty a.m. when the world is cold and i am careful.
a kiss and a slap on the roof. yes, this is it.
