I've been in a torpor lately. But I've also been involved in a lot of activity ... I suppose the two are able to coexist. I haven't been posting much, for what reasons I can't tell, exactly. I've fallen into a bit of complacency, letting things slide that I should be taking care of, lazing about instead of doing things, purposefully loosing interest in my hobbies.

I caught Jon Stewart of Daily Show fame on CNNs Crossfire yesterday and finally confirmed what I think I see going on over at Comedy Central.

A couple of months ago I was lucky enough to get to see Skinny Puppy as presented by a group called Asleep by Dawn.

After Chris' comments about not immediately warming to the newest Chemlab offering, I decided to spend a little time with the CD and realized that it had been missing for a couple of months...I guess I hadn't quite warmed to it either.

I picked up Danzig's new CD a few days ago, and it's actually pretty damn good. Well, apparently the CD isn't actually released yet(Aug 31st); but you know how music pirates do things. In my defense, I'm probably at a 1:1 ratio these days on the buy:pirate ratio. Anyway, it really reminds me of his old stuff he did with danzig - with more synth thrown in, and more grindcore.

I was listening to track 6 off of Chemlab Suture yesterday and I heard something interesting. The song was I Still Bleed and at 2 minutes, 4 seconds a loop started in the background that I can almost identify.

Listening to the first track off of the new SP I suddenly noticed that there's a sample from NIN's Pretty Hate Machine!

Just downloaded Kill Bill Vol 1's soundtrack yesterday. It's fuckin awesome. Bang Bang, the intro song by Nancy Sinatra is a masterpiece, it speaks volumes of what the movie was about, and I remember seeing the movie in the theatre thinking that I wanted the soundtrack just for that song. It's morose, slow and ponderous - and the lyrics are haunting and powerful.

King in exile,
long looks over the wall.
Kingdom but a fragment of thought,
flitting up from daydream tangents,
here and there
in pieces.
Memories in slow motion.
The smell of a season.
Emotion captured in a bubble,
blurry.
Out of context.
Looking back to days long gone,
joy tainted with rusty regret.
What-could-have-been
never ever again.

A guy stopped me today, and asked if I wanted to go to his church. I told him no thanks, I worship the old gods. The gods without names, gods that don't speak to their children or answer prayers. These gods lurk far from man, pushed out long ago - dwelling in the ancient forests, and in the deep purple of night.

I watched Takashi Miike's Dead or Alive today, and I thought I'd say a few things about it. First off Takashi Miike directed Ichi the Killer, a diamond on the rough of Japanese cinema.

Far away eyes
tell the best damn lies.
Face flush red from the cold,
breath dead on thin lips.
Bitter bile taste,
teeth grinding in subconscious effort.
Insidious pallor of decay,

going to war all day.
For sanity's banner

was the deepseated dread
you never left.
Sabotage from within,
you can't win.

I just saw this on Slashdot. I like these flowers so much more than these seeds. I can't find it anywhere, but I thought I had read a while back that Monsanto had "insufficiently" cleaned it's packaging system and had "accidentally" given some organic farms outside of London some genetically modified seeds and thereby ruined their Organic status.Greghttp://www.blogger.com/profile/13239992646217390393noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-6166284.post-1075254952182471242004-01-27T17:55:00.000-08:002004-01-27T17:58:01.530-08:00Kerry/Clark?
I'm watching CNN right now and Kerry is at 39% over Dean at 25%. I'm hoping for Kerry/Clark to go up against Bush/Cheney. When I think of the evil that is personified in this administration it just feels like Bush/Cheney are but a single slithering tendril of a much larger creature unable to be defeated with a single election.

I went to the new sushi place again today for lunch. Sat at the bar. The chefs kept giving me things for free. I ate my first quail egg today. It tasted like an egg. There I said it. Quail eggs taste like eggs.
I also engaged in rampant poseurism today. I sat at the bar and read a book on buddhism by the Dalai Lama while eating. I looked like a total poseur.

Ok, I had way too much to drink last night and I've been hung over all day. I feel like crap(actually I think I might be coming down with a cold, because I didn't drink THAT much).

You're like a fruit that's fallen from the tree,
dashed on the rocky earth below.
Bruised and discarded,
a poor facsimile of the real thing.
Ignored, passed over.
Eaten through by worms, split and putrid.
Trampled by the feet of those striving
for the supple and the ripe.
That's for the wanksters and the haters. You know who you fuckers are.

I must have had a fitful sleep. I went to bed late, and woke up early. Less than 6 hours of sleep. It's the weekend so I have no real reason to get up early, aside from maximizing my fun-time. That's not really a priority right now, though (fun time is scarce on the ground here).

I have absolutely no idea of "how" to write. I just throw this shit together stare at it for a while and then post it.
