Week-long Waiting Room

Brian and I have been sitting around in Haymarket, Virginia for the past week or so. In case you don’t know anything about Haymarket, and I know that you don’t because it is a shit-hole, then let me tell you. It is a shit-hole. The only pub in town closed a year or two back because it didn’t get enough business. Why did it not get enough business? Because all the business went to the country club and drank their drinks and put the drinks on their memberships. 

Here is a link: http://www.dominionvalley.com/

Seriously, this place is awful. In addition, whatever expensive peace-of-mind the people that live in this gated community thought they were getting flew out the window with whoever they hired to work the gates – its either open or I can make up a name like Mrs. Green-eggs-and-fuck who lives at blah lane and they guy will wave the car through. Personally, I feel that if you think the gates are actually going to keep your criminals out, then silly you.

Does anyone remember Daria? Daria is what is getting me through this visit up to DOMINION VALLEY. Unfortunately, there is something very upsetting about Daria. Mostly the fact that it hasn’t been released on DVD – if you think about this, it is sort of strange. MTV loves money, and statistics show that waiting a few years and then releasing a show not-on-air anymore makes a pretty decent amount of money. So why no Daria?

From what I can infer from the poorly put together (and, really, an afront to all my web-senses and I’m not speaking about Spiderman) website, DVDaria, the problem lies in the amount of popular music the series used and some other various issues. MTV thinks (and is probably right) that licensing all the shit for sale-to-DVD (because I assume that the artists will deserve a cut of the profit) would be too hard and expensive. Probably so. If you click that link anyway, you can sign a petition to get Daria made into a Region Zero (non-region limited) DVD. Nice idea, improbable outcome. Thanks DVDaria. 

And, with that said, you might as well go and find the shit out of some Daria online and just watch it for free, unchanged and uncut.

Can I get a what what?

So this is just my idea as to where this blog should start. We should all introduce ourselves, post a few nudies, and advertise this blog like Amy Winehouse advertises that she smokes crack. 

That way we can get published in The New York Times, Washington Post, and maybe if we’re popular enough, THE RED & BLACK!!!!! 

Oh and speaking of pr0n, we should advertise it. We could make some extra $$$ if you know what I mean (pay-per-click) etc. etc. Let me know if you agree Tess.

PS: I’m not in ‘college’. I’m a hair stylist who is continuing his education in London, England. Nice to meet you.

I don’t sleep while i’m at home

hi there, coming at you live from scenic cumming, georgia, i present: “what i have occupied myself with while on my break.”

ethan got me “watchmen” for christmas, like the doll he is, so i’ve spent a good deal of time on that piece of work. i’m on chapter 10, so nearly done.  it is truly engaging, A+ distraction. 

this is a page from watchmen.

this is a page from watchmen.

the movie trailer ross showed me for the screen adaptation appears to be rather faithful to the novel. it’s just sad that hollywood seems to have no new and intriguing stories to tell.

speaking of hollywood retards making movies, i saw “the women”, that horrific remake of the 1939 original with my mimi cheryl today. made me wanna retch. they just flattened all the characters, made the ladies BFABS, and for god’s sake meg “fishface” ryan was the “star”! these women are supposed to be catty, back-stabbing, gossiping little demons in fabulous clothes, not frumpish middle-agers with feelings. the moral of the story is supposed to be “watch your shit and slap a bitch when necessary”, not “aw with the love of my girlfriends i can get through anything!” ick.

and of course, the daily regimen of “the l word”/”gossip girl”/”mad men” online. an episode of something trashy a day keeps the boredom away! also, this just in, satellite tv is amazing. yesterday i watched “crossing over with john edward”. he is so much more talented then montel’s pet fraud, sylvia browne!

well, that’s the report from this city, from a slack-ass couch potato soaking up the delicious home cooking and quality time with the family.

Post one, yes.

Blogging variously from Barcelona, Spain – Athens, Georgia – London, England – and eventually Beirut, Lebanon and Cannes, France and even somewhere in Brazil!?

This is our wholehearted attempt to give the internets something fun and to keep in touch with each other, while showing the world that, yes, we want people to look at what we have to say and no, we are not ashamed.
