Late-Nights. Early Mornings II

630 am is brutal. No matter what. I can't fall asleep anymore. No seriously. It's a problem, because I end up passing out in the grass in Canada listening to podcasts. I wake up confused at where I am and how I got there for the first 30 sec. Then I go back and flip the chicken and cook the salmon.


When its not midnight, I'll blog about the following:

Stories about a vacuum.
poking Fun at Sexism
Canada Day
17 hr work days
Plus, my favorite--sexy married men!

inordinate amount of trailers.

3.7 movies, I'm excited about

1)Away We Go, even though it looks mushy and emotional and might make me want to cry (ok, sometimes, it happens!) it's co-written by Dave Eggers and directed by Sam Mendes, this almost guarantees it to be *amazing*

2)500 Days of Summer. Partly because the female lead is someone who is characterized as a cynic, but also because I've had a teen-crush on Joseph Gordon-Levitt since I saw "10 things I hate about you" and he wears incredibly attractive clothing. I would pay 8.00 to see him run around in suits and vests with ties and sidebags. The movie looks decent also. Sad, but decent.



3) The pinnacle, it's not even out until Oct but it is worth mentioning in this list. the preview looks incredible, arcade fire as part of the score, written by spike jonze & dave eggers and directed by jonze, it looks fucking fantastic. I will be greatly, greatly, disappointed if this does not do justice to Maurice Sendak's childrens book, because I grew up reading it.

3.7) I think i only like this movie because it reminds me of walt whitman's poem 'when i heard the learn'd astronomer'

Postnote: While looking up trailers, i found a preview for this really shitty looking movie, postgrad. It looks.... really really terrible, BUT, Rodrigo Santoro is in it as a sexy neighbor. Oh god. I want that sexy of a neighbor. Blah, blah, skip most until about 1:20 into it and stop it before it goes to 2 min.

MJ, Ruffles, Mr. Mays, Heartattacks, Gin ,etc.

Sea.Horse. and more!

There's a recent theme of the sea in my blogs lately.
Mostly because I'm incredibly bitter at the current time consumption I spend on it. But, it's also incredibly beautiful, even if it does eat up 50+ hrs a week.

But, on the few times I'm not on the sea, or in canada or in a boat, I do awesome things like:

Buy a bob seger record, live bullet for 3 dollars !!!!!! ah, such a good find (however, I have to accredit this to my boyfriend for finding it, then realizing the personal tie I have to seger via nostalgia) and, most importantly,
seahorses!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!So I don't know why I think they're so cute. I think its because they look like a dinosaur. They are also incredibly pointy and look like they have eyelashes. Things that are pointy and cute and look like a dinosaur (oh, wait)....

Anyway, I seriously want one
SO
bad.
Waking up in the morning to a seahorse!


--------------
Two random Sea-related premises.

I found out that whale watching boats have captains that bet beer for the person to first spot the whale pod.
Quote from captain,"A Breach for Brew"



I also got lost in Victoria. Yeah, I know it's an island, but I was walking, someone got sick, the ambulance blocked the street and I had to take weird turns. However, I stumbled upon this awesome church. Which was totally unexpected and cool, and incredibly beautiful inside.





Then a crack-head homeless women yelled across the street from me and I promptly went back to the harbor.

Sea Legs

So, I don't have sea legs and sometimes I feel like I'm going to vomit.
so, in the meantime, life includes narrative stories (people=crazy) in the following areas:

*B.O. & washing clothes in a bathtub
*Wine & fallacio
*Vomit
*Orca Whales
*Canadian Customs.
*Sexism.
*Galley's & David Bowie.
*Fat Seals named 'betsy'

(two or more of these points may be elaborated on. maybe, im too tired for narration)



and also trying to find movies with louis garrel in them based solely on the fact that I REALLY can't stop staring at him.

it goes POP.

Modernist free-write, egotism prose!

Pop Art.
Not my favorite, but as I'm getting back into painting (or trying to) again, I find its been the easiest to get a handle on. the shapes, colors and use of space is simpler than... well, realism. i can't paint real fruit. I'm not an artist. I just like painting. I don't paint well.

While thinking about what I wanted to paint today as I was scrubbing a fucking boat, I remembered Roy Lichtenstein.

I like pop art, if only for its glorified idea of consumerism and its over-simplicity. I figure that's kinda the point but even that's debatable.

Then, I remembered a painting done by a guy who inspired Rilke (man, I forgot about Rilke until today and his books/poems make so much sense now) anyway, the point is, Bellingham looked like this all day. All of these things I was thinking about as I was doing manual labor. Scrubbing the windows while balancing myself on a 3 inch beam trying not to fall in the bay. Tomorrow I watch whales and take a nap underneath the stairs so I can hide from the security cameras while I listen to The Mountain Goats.

The Painting

Eventually, as I balanced, and scrubbed, I settled back into thinking about Rilke and how he writes like a fucking angel. My first paycheck I'm paying rent and buying this book:

Sometimes, I think words might be the love of my life. Words and Neil Young.

Ode to my Canon.

Ach. I found out today that my Canon AE-1 is forever dead!!!!!
Here is a long, visual ode to my Canon and the beautiful, sometimes artsy pictures (only because it was such a good camera for me) I took with it. Oh man. This will be the only entry, ever, where I will insert artsy-fartsy hipster pictures. No flickr accout, duders, sorry. AH! I can't believe it inoperable and I will no longer put film into its sleek black body. =(

the picture of my brother and my dad is by far my favorite picture I have ever taken.

Bryan = one of the sexiest men I know!
