Elliott Smith- Let’s Get Lost

Cut While Shaving
It’s never quite right, he said, the way people look, the way the music sounds, the way the words are written. It’s never quite right, he said, all the things we are taught, all the loves we chase, all the deaths we die, all the lives we live, they are never quite right, they are hardly close to right, these lives we live one after the other, piled there as history, the...

ALSO:
Today, in my bio lab, we learned how to take blood pressure (difficult to maneuver everything, it took two people to do one person’s blood pressure.. I don’t know how nurses do it. Practice, I’m sure. But damn.)
We also (as per the instructions of our lab assignment) cut off circulation to our arms for a minute and a half, and after that, cut off circulation from our veins (but...

today:
i took an amazing nap in the union. put fleet foxes on, took up two chairs, and just slept my cares awaaaaay. i then realized how ridiculous i must have looked with my head cocked back over the back of the chair, but it was comfy.
just finished secretary
i always wonder what is going through writer’s minds when they write something like:
Lee: (after asking a loooong list of questions, none of which Grey answers) Where are you from? Mr. Grey: …Des Moines, Iowa
just seems sooooo random to me. maybe because it’s not seen often, but often enough to be kind of cliche. i mean, i know i live there but it’s still odd to see Des...

Capucine : Where are you going, Mom ?
Me : To Marie's birthday party.
Capucine : Birthday party ? How old is she ?
Me : 40.
Capucine : 40 ? Oh la la ! She grew up fast !
I love that she said "oh la la!" It's something that always seemed so stereotypically French.
I love to watch movies with the subtitles on so I...

i knew this day would come eventually,
but i feel like i’ve finally realized that the people i’ve spent the past few hours (days, months, years) with are not the people that i feel like i belong with. but i don’t know who i belong with. i don’t know if i want to ‘belong’ to any group of people, but god knows inclusiveness is fun. i don’t know if i’m feeling this way because of a certain...

THE INTERNET MAKES ME WANT MAKEOUT PARTIES
saramcpherson: omg, FontsMatter.com is available
topherchris: ooh, nice domain
topherchris: here's what I'd do with it… make fake documents, signage, and other things and put them in completely the wrong font.
topherchris: like a funeral notice in Comic Sans
saramcpherson: and suicide notes in Lucida Handwriting
topherchris: and a circus sign in Helvetica
saramcpherson: and comic book stuff like POW and KABOOM in Times New Roman
topherchris: and a stop sign in Dingbats
saramcpherson: wedding invitations in Courier New
topherchris: or a wedding invite in that ransom letter font
saramcpherson: Unknown Error messages in Symbol
topherchris: a street sign in some unreadable grunge font
saramcpherson: traffic citations in Wide Latin
topherchris: a police car with their logotype in some gangster-style shit
saramcpherson: restraining orders in Curlz
topherchris: a sex offender notice in something called Kidprint
saramcpherson: the letter with your positive results from your AIDS test in some whimsical Desdemona font, with curlies and squiggles as the border
saramcpherson: on that dumb printer paper that looks like a scroll
saramcpherson: “Hear Ye, Hear Ye, you have AIDS”
topherchris: with THINKING OF YOU in the corner
topherchris: and like a goose or something totally random
saramcpherson: or the dentist graphic of a tooth holding a toothbrush
saramcpherson: and smiling
topherchris: this is more like, IF MYSPACE USERS DESIGNED EVERYTHING.

Minnesota Public Radio (thanks Nora!)

sometimes, i don’t know what to think or how to feel, especially when it’s about something this foreign. i can always try to imagine what i’d do in such situations, but when the time arises, i have absolutely no clue.
