The Red Blossoms in Brooklyn
Mon Dec 15

I should have been studying all day, but I slept instead

Because I had one of those nights that people write about and make movies where 13 year old kids get high and watch it and cite all of the catchy phrases.

Went to Com[mutiny] last night at the Delancey with Najy, after hours of going back and forth of  whether or not I wanted to go, since Rainier was here and I didn’t want to ditch him.  But I did, because I got the chance to perform, and that always seems to rule all.

Com[mutiny] is a fetish party.  Last year’s theme was x-mas, except only half were dressed.  I drank three red bull vodkas and couldn’t figure out why nothing was happening, so I had a fourth and then I couldn’t figure out why I had a fourth.  This party was overrun with gorgeous women and not so gorgeous men, unless they were the half-dressed gay go-go dancers (who I grew to love by 6 am). It took forever for us to go onstage, because, well, that’s what happens at the D, apparently.  Najy had a “Santa Baby” act, burlesque-style, and I was to play her “girlfriend” who bought her a vibrator for christmas.  It was so incredibly fulfilling being on stage again.  Getting cheered on, feeding off of Najy’s energy and trying to read her cues without looking like I was trying to read her cues.  Noticing how nothing choreographed actually goes as planned, but that is just how these things go, and that is why these things work. Once age discrimination no longer hits me in the rear, I’m going to perform at these sort of things and make a damn name (inherently a stage name) for myself.

Once my pants were off (in a skimpy little outfit that showed off my assets), girls were very eager to kiss me.  On stage, in back dark corner, by the bathrooms, wherever they preferred.  Best compliment of the night was “I like your face.”  (Later, at breakfast, I told her I liked her face, too). The girls were cute, my legs ached, and then we all got kicked out at 4 AM.  There was talk about food “chinois” open 24\7.  So 9 of us (we counted this numerous times like sesame street in a drunken stupor) piled into a station wagon driven by the mohawked girl who liked my face’s boyfriend.  The gay go-go boys were in the back, being adorable.  We all laughed at each other and the ride seemed to take forever because none of us wanted it to end.  Journey came on so we opened up the windows and rode through chinatown blasting it.  I hate journey, but at the time, I loved it.

When we got out of the car at the Chinese place, we all continued dancing to it, in the middle of the street.  Two boys across the way asked us if we were from Hoboken. Do people in Hoboken do this?  Shit, lemme move there.

The chinese place told us that we couldn’t eat there, supposedly because they were closed, but we knew that was a lie.  So we piled back in and drove to Yaffa.

It was the girl-who-looks-like-a-mini-Penelope-Cruz’s birthday, so nice boyfriend of mohawked-girl got her a cake.  On our way, we picked up another mohawked girl, Avalon, and two not-so-attractive men who seemed to be stalking her. We all squished around the table and ate sexy cake and ordered lots of food and made out with each other, again.

The night died down and the drunks were getting sleepy so they paid their check and I kissed mohawked girl and told her I’d visit in Boston. Rainier stopped by and I ordered him French toast (cause I know that’s his favorite).  I felt so bad that he couldn’t join in (age discrim, once again), but we’ve been talking about it and things seem to be back on track.

It was a wonderful night to end the semester.  I slept until 6:30 pm today and now I should be studying, but instead I’m replaying everything over and over again, like that movie I used to watch when I was 13 that I knew all the words to.

REALLY REALLY RECOMMENDED FILM

Rainer and I just got finished watching a documentary entitled “Dear Zachary.”

We were just sitting around with the teevee on but both of us got completely enamored in the story within 15 minutes.

Then we both cried at the ending.

Everyone needs to watch it.  Everyone needs to take action against injustices that made this documentary so fucking emotional.  Things like this shouldn’t be happening.  I am writing to the Parliament tomorrow, you should too.

This airs again on the night of the 14th on MSNBC.  Check out http://www.dearzachary.com for more info.  

And make sure you sit with your boyfriend watching it, cause you’ll need someone to hug.

There are days when you realize how lucky you are

Today is one of them.  I love you honey.

  • My Fifth Grade Boyfriend: Remember when you were scared to kiss me in your attic?

reasons why I wish I were still living with Kristin McJiggle-Bucket Ill

In response to letting her know about how I’m moving out of the Bedford house (where we used to both live, before she was kicked out):

“can we shit on their porch nooooooooow?”

In response to telling her how stupid I was for getting a brazilian wax the day before my period:

“hah, we’re still cycling together *sighs happily*”

And of course, her brilliant use of the words “asshat” and “douchewagon” in daily conversation.

Let me also take the time to boast about how I always tend to live with extremely talented people.  Betsy’s photography:  http:://www.betsykershner.com

I always move

But whenever I’m about to I go through major qualms about it.  Second-guessing myself.  Good idea? Bad idea?  I weigh the pros and cons.  Think it’s a bad idea but do it anyway, usually. Then I start to really love where I live and not want to move about a week before I do, and then I end up being happy that I moved.  What am I gonna do?

I was walking by the dance studio at school, and I felt a wave of bitterness hit me and a strong desire to be in that studio, and then, just as I was thinking that, I heard the teacher in her strong bougeois accent say “Mary I don’t know what’s wrong with your wrist but it looks terrible.”  Then I remembered why I’m not in that studio.

Tom Waits For No One - Animated 1979 … John Lamb (via austinstein)

Performed for us live (at the La Brea stage in Hollywood, 1978), and rotoscoped - a process that traces back the live action
frame by frame and turns it into animation. The original live
action was shot with 5 cameras - 2 high, 2 low and one hand
held. The music from “The One That Got Away” blared in the
background as Tom sang karaoke style different lyrics on each
take. Two strippers, Donna Gordon was the choice, 6 takes and 13 hours of video footage were edited to make a 5 1/2 minute live action short which we turned into animation. A total of 5,500 frames were caricatured and then re-drawn, inked by Mike Cressy and painted by hand onto celluloid acitate to produce this film.
Produced by Lyon Lamb, directed by John Lamb, the film bore some cool new technology, talent ( David Silverman, producer and director of the Simpsons TV series, and director of the NEW Simpsons movie to be released in July of 2007, was our head animator and also his FIRST job as an animator) and was created specifically for a video music market that didn’t yet exist . But
the buzz was out and we went on to create what arguably may be the first music video created for the new and upcoming MTV market.
A series of unfortunate events prohibited the film from ever
being released or sold commercially, consequently catapulting it into obscurity…

That stripper is totally Jessica Rabbit. The big boys always steal from the little guys. Fuck Warner Bros, and fuck Disney.

Two of my favorite icons.

Thoroughly entertaining :)

I am totally impressed by this lego animator’s skill. I love Eddie fans.

Wed Nov 19

so i went to a party last night at the delancey, where my girl najy was go-go dancing.  was a queer\lesbian event.  sexy women everywhere.  i gave one of the go-go dancers a dollar, and she leans down… “can i kiss you?”  sure thing, ma.  that made me happy.  but then i realized that she kisses every girl who gives her a dollar, and that made me laugh.  girls like that, though they are sluts, will never stop being attractive.  so, i got a few free drinks and danced with a few people and chased a few people around, but then left, at 3 am, with no lesbians crawling at my feet.

i think they can all tell that im in a stable, happy relationship.  at one point in the night, i went up to najy, who was fluttering from girl to girl and turning all of them on, and i asked her why i was having so much trouble getting a girl to want me.  she looked at me straight in the eye and yelled (it was loud in there) something to the effect of “you have an amazing boyfriend.  you’re lucky.”   and it made me realize that people can probably tell, and i dont mind one bit.

but it was really nice being in that scene again.  the drama flowing through the air at lesbian bars is crazy.  all the girls are out on the prowl, and i just sat back and watched.  until i got drunk enough, then i played the game to no avail.   i miss the blatant sexual cues, and the cute little flirty eyes that girls do, and the way that butch women dance (hah).   it was kind of like revisiting the past, of sorts. i used to yearn to go to places like that. now i end up hanging out with the old lesbian in the corner who is there just to get drunk and watch the show.  you and i both, grandma.
