i’m listening to… “law and order” on tv… AROOOOO!
i’m feeling… fine.
2:39 am — well, see, i have to talk about this… cause anything accomplished with redefine is — at this moment — just about the only thing that makes me feel accomplished!!
http://www.theparadox.org/site/ — scroll to the bottom to purchase tickets for the redefine event and to see a description of it. EXCITING. really. had a first note from someone saying, “hey, i found out about your magazine through the paradox event listing… good job.” and it’s still early. so this seems AWESOME. also… SONIC BOOM is sponsoring the event… one of the biggest local indie record stores, which means free advertising and all sorts of good news :0 unfortunately, KEXP cannot sponsor it… but oh well…?
in OTHER news… I have two fucking interviews this week :0 thanks to jeanette. not interviews as in… i am interviewing so-and-so band. not interviews as in… get me a job. but interviews as in BITCHES BE WRITING A STORY ABOUT ME AND REDEFINEHIZZLE POTENTIALLY! and that’s really kind of weird, but mostly awesome. i wonder what it’ll feel like to be on the other end :]
all in all, redefine is doing good as far as shit going on is going. but as far as advertising… still shit luck. but hopefully that will change soon…
and i might have a job as of thursday. but i’m not… entirely sure yet. so wish me luck. i really hope it works out, though. cause i uh need money.
checked out the band controller controller tonight with mr. lenny (for free). good shit. i love bands who are into what they’re doing. respectable. like i was saying earlier to lenny — a lot of the problem with younger emo and punk rock bands are that they care too much about how they come off or look — and don’t pay as much attention — genuine attention — to the music.
my writer did an interview yesterday with this band called killradio, and she doesn’t have much rock music experience. she did art interviews for me before but they were fine. as for the rock side of things though, she really doesn’t know much. turned out she asked questions like, “why do you guys wear these costumes? why do the people who go to your shows dress like that?” when they’re all just really normal poeple. if this is true, i am embarrassed yet again. i knew i shoulda gone with my gut and kept her out of the music loop.
anyway, tonight for dinner lenny, alex, and i went to purple dot for dinner. one of the few chinese restaurants i’ve been to in seattle that was actually good. ONE OF THE FEW. PROBABLY 1 OF 2. we got 4 dishes amongst the 3 of us… plus 3 cups of tea for me… plus free soup with intestine and what we thought was cow heart *gag* (although it tasted good). and we fucking ate it all. it was INSANE. and then we got bubble tea afterwards. and somehow none of us were full. WTF. i don’t even get it. usually by then i am stuffed, but not this time. what the hell? we probably all ate an equal amount… truly freakish. i bet the waitress thought we were insane. i did have to poopoo afterwards though LOL.
the 8th is lenny and i’s 6 month anniversary! he remembered for once and did stuff… yay!!!!! he made me a mug… kind of a cool thing. it’s mugs with these special thin plastic coatings on them. and you use these markers with alcohol in them so that it melts the plastic a little and allows you to write on the mugs permanently. very interesting. he drew me a scenescape… there was an extra so i drew him one of DUCK-ie letters with little animal shapes inside… it also had a mini-pic of OTTOPUS and “earthfirewindwaterheart… go planet” (captain planet anyone?!!!!!!!!!!!!) and made him a monkey card yay!! out of paper!! yay!!! and he got me a backscratcher cause my back is itchy!!! and he got these two stuffed doggies and we puff painted them. his was cool. it has a spiral on the back and glasses and a superman logo on tis stomach, but with a V instead of an S. mine has a chef’s had that is an abomination and barely looks like one — it also is a hideous lumpy color and hideous hideous hideous. it also has a bone in one of its hands that looks hideous. it also says “AAH TUMOR” on its other paw since the chef’s hat looks like a tumor. the stomach has a heart and the letters “SRY” because the damn thing is an abomination!!!!!!!!!!!!! ABOMINATION!!!!!!!! IT’S SO UGLY. AND HIS IS SO NICE. GARRR I HATE YOU FABRIC PAINT! DIE IN A FIREEEEEEEEEEEEEEEE!!! the only redeeming part of mine is that the collar says “property of vee” nearly illegibly. GOD IT’S UGLY. GARRRRR.
i’m designing the flyer for my event. so far so fail. hopefully i’ll come up with something alright! 
:D
