IT HARDLY MATTERS Back to Main Index Browse the Archives	Wednesday, October 29, 2003 ( 09:39 PM ) Ever since I first saw you Standing in the black frozen night I've been blind I'm running out of time Saves the Day. ( 09:31 PM ) Nope, I haven't seen Kill Bill yet. I just kinda forgot about it. No rush, I guess. Tuesday, October 28, 2003 ( 11:51 PM ) Double Celebrity Sightings of the Day: Just before dinner at the Beverly Center's glamourous food court, we walked past Christopher Lloyd. Just after dinner, we found ourselves face-to-face with the prolific Stephen Baldwin. Christopher Lloyd's getting old, let me tell you. Stephen Baldwin, on the other hand, looks pretty much the same as always. ( 11:40 PM ) Must. Stop. Spending. Money. In related news, I now have one muthafuckin' radical suede jacket. It was just over $100! What a deal. But I will miss my money, yes I will. Monday, October 27, 2003 ( 10:24 PM ) My friend Katherine has a blog. Check it. Now. ( 09:14 PM ) I'm all about eating late dinners these days. Cases in point: last Thursday I did not have dinner until way late, when me and Meggin went to Roscoe's Chicken & Waffles after the Saves the Day show. The next night I waited until 10:30ish again to eat at Murder King after a trip to Atwater Village to buy the new Star Wars game and Home Depot on Sunset. Tonight? Still haven't eaten dinner. Except for like half a canteloupe, which was doing me just fine until about 15 minutes ago. Wednesday, October 22, 2003 ( 09:06 PM ) So when I saw the trailer for Matrix Revolutions and all of the squidys are breaking through the outer walls of Zion and all of the citizens are looking to the sky in amazement, all I could think was: "Haha, the rave is OVER, suckahs!" And every time I see the adverts for the new Angelina Jolie film with its shots of her in exotic locales, I think that they should just call the movie Tomb Raider 3: Beyond Borders. And every time I see the trailer for The Return of the King and Hugo Weaving has a voiceover, I'm just waiting for him to finish his sentence with "Mister Anderson." ( 01:14 PM ) Elliott Smith killed himself. Get ready for an entire nation of indie rock-lovin' bloggers to wax poetic about how the man changed the world of music. Tuesday, October 21, 2003 ( 11:46 PM ) Ladies and gentlemen, I present to you: the greatest animated gif ever! ( 06:37 PM ) I'm a little tea pot, short and stout Here is my handle, here is my spout When I get all steamed up hear me shout Tip me over and pour me out. Sunday, October 19, 2003 ( 11:11 PM ) From the Los Angeles Times: Taking Sides? By Lynn Smith TELEVISION: Jay Leno's role at the governor-elect's rally has many wondering just how far the blending of politics and entertainment will go. Wait. Arnold Schwarzenegger gets elected Governor and they're just asking this question now? ( 10:36 PM ) Oh dear lord, have I been brainwashed??? (see previous entry) Friday, October 17, 2003 ( 01:42 PM ) My decision on iTunes for Windows? TOTALLY AWESOME. Wednesday, October 15, 2003 ( 10:05 PM ) So I'm sitting here holding a pen that somebody left behind in class and the first thing that pops into my mind is I wonder what kind of germs are on this thing. Since when did I get so paranoid about cleanliness and disease? Oh yeah, when I worked at Breadstiks I always forgot to wash my hands before eating and always worried that I'd get hepatitis from all the homeless guys that came in and paid with the dirtiest money ever. Not that the money non-homeless people give you is any cleaner, but you get the idea. Tuesday, October 14, 2003 ( 09:47 PM ) So I left it up to Meggin to write down all the funny things that her little nephew Michael said during our last trip to see him, but I don't think she's gotten around to it. But here's one thing that she might have missed: It was like 8 in the morning on a Sunday, and Michael had woken up and come into the living room where everyone was sleeping on the floor. He went over to Tim and tried to wake him: "Tim, Tim! The sun's up. Don't you know there's playing to be done??" Sunday, October 12, 2003 ( 10:05 PM ) Okay, so Richard Linklater is the director of School of Rock. Big time, right? So the question still remains: why the hell hasn't Slacker been released on DVD yet? ( 08:11 PM ) Yesterday's Internet Celebrity Sighting of the Day: Once again, Summer of Indierocket outside of the Troubadour at the Mates of State show. Simultaneous C-List Celebrity Sighting of the Day: One of the Sklar Brothers entering the Troub, although I can't be sure if it was Randy or Jason because they're all twins and all. Sometimes on the TV one of them has a beard and the other doesn't, so if that's currently the case, I saw the one without the beard. He also had black-rimmed glasses on. And in case you're wondering, the show was fanfuckingtastic. Friday, October 10, 2003 ( 03:23 PM ) Rush Limbaugh Is A Big Fat Junky. Thursday, October 9, 2003 ( 10:28 PM ) Imagine my disappointment when I discovered that two of the greatest concert events of the fall were to occur during the Thanksgiving Weekend -- The Twilight Singers at the El Rey on Wednesday and The Alkaline Trio & Vagrant Across America on Friday. With talk of possibly going up to the Bay Area for Thanksgiving looming, I was bummed that I would miss out on both of these, especially since I have not seen the Trio in concert ever. But then I checked Ticketmaster.com and found out that, lo and behold, The Twilight Singers are playing at Slim's on Friday and The Trio will be at the Warfield on Saturday!!! (For those of you not from the Bay Area, those are both in the, well, Bay Area.) Despite the amazingly good planning of the two tours, it turns out we might just stay in LA for Thanksgiving after all. ( 09:37 AM ) It is unbelieveably foggy this morning. On the way to work and you could see it passing 15 feet in front of the car like smoke. Wednesday, October 8, 2003 ( 09:32 AM ) It's a new dawn in the California political arena. I was kind of hoping Arnold would lose the race, just so that he could conclude his concession speech with a threatening, "I'll be back." The true justice, though, comes from the fact that Larry Flynt received twice as many votes as Bill Simon, the man who lost to Davis less than a year ago. Bill Simon is a jerkface. Tuesday, October 7, 2003 ( 10:06 PM ) After sporting a shav'd head for over a year, I have made the decision to grow my hair out. I have not yet factored in all the money I will once again have to spend on haircuts and product, but I am sticking to my plan. Deep down inside, I know the time is right. ( 09:53 PM ) As of right now, with 40.5 % ( 228 of 563 ) of San Francisco precincts reporting, a whopping 80% of voters in that county believe that Gray Davis shouldn't be recalled. Unfortunately for the G-Man, though, the rest of the state isn't following suit. He's down, 56% to 44%. Looks like Arnold's gonna be our next governor with 50% of the statewide vote so far (27% of statewide precincts reporting). (Source.) ( 09:46 PM ) In what will most likely be the final election to make use of punch cards, I cast my votes for NO on recall, YES for Arnold, and NO on both propositions. I certainly will miss those punch cards. The sensation of pressure/release that you felt as you made those holes was definitely unique. And instead of having my polling place be the fire station half a block from my house, I had to walk my ass six blocks to the art gallery next to the Troubadour. Bitches will be hearing from me about this. Wednesday, October 1, 2003 ( 10:40 AM ) From the Onion: Iran faces an Oct. 31 U.N. deadline to prove that it has no secret atomic-weapons program. What do you think? "If armageddon devices of biblical proportion don't belong in the hands of fundamentalist religious extremists, where do they belong?" Matt Donnelly Editor "A standoff over nuclear weapons? Fun! My father told me about those!" Steve Buck Cashier "We have bigger things to worry about in the Mideast than nuclear weapons." Bob Wiltfong Revenue Agent "If Iran breaks the deadline, they'll be in direct conflict with the U.N., which is a really big deal if you're not America." Jessica Allen Systems Analyst "I know how Iran feels! Deadlines, deadlines, deadlines! Ack!" Rachel Biello Paralegal "Everyone always says Halloween is going to be scary, but when the International Atomic Energy Agency says it, you can believe it." Kurt Braunholer Parking Attendant
