news from the nethers

Joanna Newsome has a new song and I've probably listened to it twenty times already even tho I only heard about it this evening. (I have been alternating with this song, dunno why.)

The best thing I've read in McSweeney's in a while is Michelle Tea's interview with "Dori Midnight, City Witch" in the newspaper issue. It was comforting/familiar. I could not, however, get all the way thru the Miranda July/ James Franco interview. I still haven't seen meta-Franco performance art on General Hospital or whatever. Has anyone reading this seen that? (Is it worth checking out/ watching daytime television for?) The new curator of P.S.1. totally gushes about him.

I watched half of Little Ashes, but paused, as I think Luis Bunuel is about to be an asshole homophobe. I wonder if I only ever watched Un Chien Andalou on account of the Pixies referencing it. Anyways, Edward is way moody as Salvador.

I am knitting something really long with evergreen colored yarn that I got at a thrift store in Aberdeen, Washington. I timed it and I do about a half inch every hour.

I just did a huge load of laundry in the bathtub and my lion t-shirt was hanging up on the wall to dry and keeping me awake I think.

I signed up for a free netflix account and have been watching tooo many movies. Highlights include: Gosford Park, Penelope, Brideshead Revisited and the first two season of Weeds.

In other news, I am in charge a student group at school (last semester!) and have a Big Meeting tomorrow. Good night.
