so i pours myself a big heaping bowl of peanut butter cap'n crunch.

ahoy, what's that? a special prize? could it be some sort of bonus chocolate cap'n crunch pellet?

ucgh! no. it's some reject burnt one. great. now my hopes are dashed, my mouth is fulla greasy burnt-up flakes, and i have a bad case of "cap'n crunch mouth."

We need our own VIP booth with pansit, mungo, lumpia, and dinuguan. Top it off with some halohalo... oh god.

Apparently the "policies" of Killlogggs require me to make an introduction post. My plan was to just lurk around and post snarky things at Josh and Anthony, maybe Cam too, definitely Abbsworth; but this is okay.

I am Peter. I've read this thing a bit and know a bunch of friends on here and posted a few times. I live in Silver Spring but I'll be moving into a fancy house in DC proper with Christian very soon. I love raspberry vodka gimlets, Russian Movies, animals playing sports, being cool, and cooking. Josh calls me a "mincing dandy" because my sophisticated taste intimidates him.

And because I'm a mincing dandy.

Every now and then I get asked to make people websites, and a lot of the time I don't really have time to do it. Like right now I have too much other stuff going on to even think about agreeing to any more.

Anyone here want to be referred basic web work when I can't do it? I'm mainly talking about small personal and small business websites (usually under 10 pages)...

Did Richard Moll die or something? Cause I need to know these things. All I know about city life and criminal justice came from Night Court. And his voice work as Two-Face on Batman:TAS was killer, too.

Unless I just didn't notice his oddly oval head up there before...

Or maybe Google has brainwashed me into believing all header manipulations have meaning.

I spent half the year I lived in Wisconsin living in a converted barn with eleven other "artists" (read: drunkards/potheads/general gadabouts). As part of the deal we had with the school, who owned the barn, we had to do one "art opening" per month. It was sort of like an arty frat house, I guess. Anyway, sometimes the art openings were decent, but most of the time they were tossed together, drunkenly, at the last minute. Did I say drunk?

One month, we decided to do "short movies." My friend and I were editing said cinematic in-jokes together one late night in the offices of the college tv station, which sold some of its time to the public as, well, public access. We were bored (and yeah, probably drunk), and we started watching old public access tapes on one of the monitors to alleviate our boredom.

We struck gold.

We were watching some tape involving a firey African-American lady minister waving her arms around and yelling about Jesus, and then the tape cut out. The lady minister was replaced with - well, what looked like a home movie of some amazing booty party (I say 'booty party' because the movie was pretty much exclusively of wiggling asses). We sat there, our mouths open, our eyelids aflutter with astonishment. Then the camera moved away from the asses for about two seconds to rest on someone who looked exactly like Tupac (RIP).



Thing is, the cameraman obviously didn't know how to set the time on the camcorder, because beneath Wisconsin's Tupac and the asses that comfortably surrounded him was a large, blinking, white date: MARCH 26 2018. (At least, I think that was the particular date. My memory is hazy, and I can't find my VHS copy of our filmic oeuvre.)

We hatched a plan to sell the tape to various news media in April of 2018, you know, to prove 'Pac was still alive. Someone would still be interested at that point, we maintained. Look at how he'd kept his youthful appearance!

For the art opening, we did end up editing together some of the asses, and Tupac, and the lady minister, for those with short attention spans. It went over well.

Live by the gun, die by the gun.

Today I went against my vow on NOT spending any money on frivolous purchases for the week and ended up buying:

1.NIN- With Teeth (because 15 year old Carla would have been very upset with me if I hadn't).

2.The Raveonettes-Pretty in Black

3. Secretary on DVD (on sale unused for 9.99!)

I've only listened to With Teeth once and it just kind of feels like an extension of the Fragile (despite the fact I've read a couple articles in which Trent insinuates that his all was not put into the Fragile and it was a half assed attempt and With Teeth is his "finding himself again" album). It doesn't really feel that way. His lyrics are as trite as ever and that's a little dissapointing considering the man is 40 years old. Maybe I need to give it another chance or maybe I've simply just outgrown the NIN. Whatever the case, I spent 10.99 on you, you gloomy ass bama!

The Raveonettes album is awesome and I've been listening to it on repeat, particularly Love in a trashcan.

Secretary dude. I really enjoyed this movie and though I find her kind of pretensious, I enjoy looking at Maggie Gyllenhaal and James Spader creeps me out in an erotic way.

I'm not trying to be all "HEY! LOOK AT ME EVERYBODY" but I needed to post a newly cut bang picture:


This girl I used to work with once told me I always looked drunk or sleepy. At first I was slightly offended, then I realized she had a point.

Also, I have a tendency to make that sucked in facial expression a lot in pictures. It's not intentional, just force of habit. I usually end up looking like this:



I've been trying to grow my hair out for a very long time but it's been taking FOREVER. Sometimes I think to hell with it and I should cut it all off. Then I go "but Carla, you've come this far! You're entering shoulder length territory, you can't go back now!" We all know I'm just going to cut it all off once it gets long anyway. I'm really wired right now and I drank lots of caffeine before bed and now I can't stop typing.

Now here are some plugs (no, not the kind yo' daddy has on his head, i'm talkin' stuff to do, places to go, people to see.....)

THE GREENMAN FESTIVAL!!! My mom and Josie have a booth at this event. Josie will be selling her far out totally righetous hats and my mom has an assortment of awesome crafts and jewelry she's been working on. This should be lots of fun (plus who wouldn't want to spend a couple hours people watching all the Old Greenbelt weirdos??)

ALSO! The 2nd issue of Baristador is in the works!!! This is sort of short notice but the deadline is THIS MONDAY the 9th. The issue is kind of following a Romantic Tea theme but submissions do not have to adhere to those subjects. Writings, art, reviews, etc etc.

Time to simmer down!

Will everybody just cool out

Come on people
