SwimSnack

Interesting, that even though I have gained a LEGITIMATE amount of weight since I was 14, a la most normal people, my awkward electric-blue-palm-tree-two-piece-swimsuit from 8th grade is STILL too big on me.

Carter Snack

Magical Real Snack

I owe a lot to this guy:



Without him, the kinds of things that I write would raise multitudes of skeptic-brows. I don't know much about him, though. There's a whole bunch of links to Marquez interviews and stuff that the Flavorpill people put in my inbox. I am very interested in these! I guess there is a new biography about him by Gerald Martin that just came out. I might pick it up and read it alongside Love in the Time of Cholera, which, like my mother, I still haven't finished.

Other things I have inherited from my mother:
parking skills (read: lack thereof)





Shelley told me about a Steinbeck journal that's half-journal and process notes and half Grapes of Wrath so you read the musings and the final product side-by-side. I am very interested in this also! I am normally a huge fan of really fat books, although I frickin hated Grapes of Frickin Wrath and pretty much everything else by Steinbeck in High School. I might give it another try.

You know what I will never try again? The Scarlet Fucking Letter.

Black Canyon ReadingSnack

Come see the world premiere reading of

Black Canyon City: A History
written by Jaclyn Backhaus
directed by Andrew Neisler

part of the Groundwork Reading Series at breedingground productions' Spring Fever Festival!

"Hunter Wilcox is no scientist, but he spends his nights with tonic bottles and phonographs in the middle of an old mining town, conducting experiments that he hopes will help him solve some odd mysteries. In Black Canyon City, the souls of the dead seek out living ears to tell their stories and living bodies to uncover their best-kept secrets. It’s a place where nothing worthwhile happens ‘til the sun goes down. And down by the fire, things are happening…"

Trackback Snack

Cos DCP told me to.

Headshot Snack

Getting my headshots done today!

With any luck, they'll turn out like this:

Button Snack

So Scoville wanted me to find out more about that Button Factory song because he was too lazy to do it himself. You know that song? It's like "Hello, my name is Joe and I work at a Button Factory." You probably learned it in like second grade during that weird art/music/p.e. period that may or may not have occurred before morning recess (Shout out to you, Booker T. Washington Elementary!! What up, Principal Hamilton?!?!). Or at Girl Scout camp, around a giant bonfire or in the mess hall right before each Troop showed their weird skits and probably after we all made those American Flags out of red, clear, and blue beads.

I guess some people named Peter and Ellen Allard wrote it. It's available on a website, to download! People, Teachers, and Summer Camps use it for teaching. I know this because it is listed on such dynamite databases as "ultimatecampresource.com" and "songsforteaching.com."

These Are The Lyrics

As you can see, the song conducts one singular revolution of the appendages. Its syncopated rhythm implies blah blah blah analysis blah.

Here is a link to listen to the song

I am a big fan of buttons. I used to collect them when I found them in the street, on the playground, on the floor at Fiesta Mall. I would buy weird ones at the craft store shaped like ducks or trains. Then I strung a bunch of them up on a string and hung it over the window in my room.

This was the beginning of my penchant for collecting odd knickknacks.

Some of the things I have found and kept recently
-A hologrammed Happy Feet bookmark (on the stairs of the subway)
-A weird old round-dial pay phone (cleaning out the Robert Moss nee Linhart Theater)
-An old watch I used to play with as a kid (a pouch under my bed during the neverending organization of the random shit in my room)

I think I would like to work in a Button Factory.

Seal Snack

So apparently? I have more than one Seal song on my iPod? I was hankering for some "Kiss From a Rose" and then I iPodded Seal and found like two other songs that I have never heard of. Maybe they were free with my iPodian purchase?

Seal was my very first concert! In 1995, a Hard Rock Cafe opened in Phoenix and they had a free concert and he headlined. It was an exciting time in my life, for Batman Forever had just wowed my 9-year-old world.

Other kinds of Seals:



Navy Seals



Baby Seals



Baby Sealz



Navy Sealz?
