Dr Oetker

After hosting Big Primpin' - the hip hop party for homo's and those who love them - on Friday night, I could not recover this weekend. I stayed in bed pretty much for the last 48 hours. The one exception was to do makeup for the talented and beautiful artist Zorica Vasic's installation for Nuit Blanche at the Gladstone Hotel.
Zorica read my tarot cards before I left and according to her cards I have many sexual opportunities, but am prude, so I do not take advantage of the 'touching' and 'creative magic' that I could be. I like this idea. It makes me feel less like a recluse when reading in bed alone for two days.
Today I ate Dr. Oetker pizza, which if you haven't had is amazingly delicious and dangerously addictive, then practiced my grammar for an upcoming test on Tuesday.



My downloads of the week are two classics from the Margot library of introspective music - The Vagabond by AIR featuring Beck and Avril 14th by Aphex Twin. Where will I be by Avril 14th, 2011? It is very much in my nature to move a lot and am trying to stay put in one place for at least year. I am currently at 8 months, which is a bit of record for me in the last 4 years. I do hope I am exactly where I am right now on Avril 14th, but perhaps with some company.....

Until next week,

See Change.....

This album has such relevance that I fear when I am done blogging every song from this album I will have nothing left to say.....
This is my pre-hanover 4:22 a.m. post with two of my favorite songs from Sea Change by Beck. This album changed my life in ways I can never speak of.
If you're feeling down this Saturday morning, I want you to look out your window, crack a beer and feel introspective with the soundtrack to your hangover.

Paper Tigers



I lounged around the apartment all day and after watching my third movie I thought "I should finally put up some mp3's on J.T. Sunday morning!". What a great thought it was.
Though I have not eaten breakfast or changed out of my pajamas, I have spent a great deal of time on facebook and youtube which makes me feel like more of a tosser than I do normally.
This collection of slightly melancholy tunes features Nick Cave, Beck, Serge Gainsbourg, Magnetic Fields and Belle & Sebastian. It's perfect to listen to in the rain, or in the dark with a bottle of table of wine and your sookie blanket - dreaming of the past and wishing you hadn't failed so many times.....
I will leave you with my favorite quote from the Vanity Fair Tiger Woods article Part 1:
"He said "I'm getting something to eat at Subway" and I said "I'm pretty hungry too. Could you pick me up a chicken wrap?". They ate their subs before making love that night and Tiger washed his down with Bailey's Irish Cream Liquor straight out of the bottle. "Did he ever buy you anything?" I ask. "No," she says "Just the sub.""
