I’ve made a terrible mistake
I write notes for posts in a notepad at work because I like it’s perfect size-ness. Then I left it in someone else’s office and now it’s nowhere to be found. It can totally be traced back to me since it’s got my name on it. Even if it were anonymous anyone can figure it out since it’s all in purple ink. Do you know what’s in that notebook? Things I don’t even post! Yes, interestingly, I DO HAVE A FILTER. I write shit down then I decide that maybe talking about how awful my coworkers are isn’t necessary. So It stays in the notebook. NOW I CAN’T FIND THE NOTEBOOOK. Luckily, there are never any names in it. BUT STILL.
Oh well. Que sera, sera eh?
Someone asked me the other day how I come up with my post titles, since they rarely have anything to do with anything. The answer is I get them from the ether most of the time. Most mornings I wake up with some word or phrase repeating in my head and I involuntarily repeat it all day. In the past few days I’ve gotten emotional grandstanding and bip bop flippy flop. So there’s the answer to that.
If I write so many notes for the blog how come there’s never anything new here? The answer is that I am a procrastinator, so badly a procrastinator that I procrastinate doing things that I procrastinate with (ie blogging). Also, I do not get things from my mind to the keyboard very fluidly. It’s a strange, jerky process for me. Which is why I do it, because it’s good for my mind. But it’s hard for me, I don’t know why. I know Sir Chinko and probably X just crap something genius out in 5 minutes then go about their day, satisfied with themselves for having done so. Not I, just getting this far has probably taken me a half hour. But I’m in public, there are things to get distracted by, *see below. So my point is that I have started a podcast. I know! How 2005 of me! But it’s so much easier, I just think of something then I say it and then it’s done! No editing, no erasing what I’ve said to make it mare readable. I say it and it’s out there, bam! And it’s not just me talking at you either. There are guests and topics! So far I’ve had TBU and Savage as guests. Savage was slightly over enthusiastic. Unexpectedly. It’s called The Millionizer on Media and we talk mostly about the media I/we consume or would like to consume, replete with tangents, rants and non-sequiters. You might enjoy it, you might not. I’m still figuring garageband out, so when I do I’ll post what I have weekly, after that, let’s keep our fingers crossed.
*I’m at Rebecca’s coffeeshop near my house waiting for my chemistry tutor and some guy just asked the girl upfront what the wi-fi password is. She said, “sandwich” he said, “sandwich, like it sounds?”
“yep sandwich.”
“Saaaaaaannnnnddddwwwiiich…”
“Yes, sandwich,” points to a large sign reading, “sandwich”
“…”
“s a n d w i c h”
“Sounds good!” then walks out.
Dude must be walking out of every coffeeshop looking for a password not involving letters. Or something, I dono.
Tomorrow night is outdoor drink and getting together with Ms A, I have to convince her to get on the podcast.
The Millionizer is of no interest to you.
PS I sent the Dirty Dancing research paper to Token and X, commence nail biting!
I find that if I quit blogging for a while it’s harder to get those juices flowing when I start back up, and It takes me much longer than it should to bang out a post. But if I blog every day it gets quick and easy. I also find that if I think about something I want to blog about I need to just do it then and there or else it’ll never get done. No notes or percolating for me. Now or never.
I was gonna comment on the last post to see if you’d send me the DD paper. Not to proofread — just for my own entertainment.
Where does one find the effin pod cast?
Token, it’ll be up when I figure stuff out. I’ll let you know!
1) why the nail biting? i’m just going to get drunk and watch DD and then read your notes simultaneously and then comment on them out loud = look like a crazy person
2) IV is really into us having a drunk cooking show where i show you how to make a cocktail that he drinks while i make a snackie that a drunk person would love. also the premise is that the food is themed because we’ll have just been coming from a party, so like, i’ll be dressed ridiculous. like for alien ho-down it would be midori sours and miller high life and veggie pigs in a blanket, or something.
3) we are SO doing a “Mi Vida Loca” podcast, have you even ever seen that movie?
4) speaking of MVL (i sometimes feel like my life is just a series of excuses to bring up that film) i think i am going to rent out a movie theatre in the Mission and play a marathon of Mexican (sometimes pan-Latino) gangs in LA (one of my favorite genres, really) films. awesome, huh? you should be here for that.
p.s. i hella anguish abut my posts/most things i write because i am not as smart as you think i am. which is also why i had to make such a big deal about graduating with HONORS when i was drunk that one time i’m never gonna live down. p.s. i am drunk now.
X, you crack me up. Yes, I’ll be there for the pan-Latino gang marathon movie extravaganza. How much does it cost to rent out a theatre? I am in, so totally in for the drunken podcasting idea.
