weird science

a japanese inventor made his own fembot.

it was inevitably going to happen sooner or later.




instead of going out to the bars to meet guys it just might be a better idea to go this route-maybe i should stay at home and start working on my boyfriendbots. of course i will have to make a few models: the jon spencer, the james mcavoy, the christian bale, the justin theroux, the jarvis cocker, the ewan mcgregor. i could have my own army of hot dudes. yeah i'm going to have to get right on that-the more i think about it the better of an idea it seems.

why do the walkmen suck....

when jonathan fire*eater were sooooooooooo effing goooooood???!?!?!???!??!?!?!!?



i saw that the walkmen are playing here this week and i know everyone loves them. everyone but me anyway-i guess i'm still stuck in the past.sigh.
i decided to listen to some jf*e while i was getting ready last night.so cool, so smooth, so sexy.i wish i could have gotten to see them when they still existed. actually i just wish they never broke up.

stuart lupton started a new band- the childballads- recently but i haven't heard much yet.
here's a somewhat recent performance of them doing a jf*e song "no love like that"


here's the kills doing a cover of my favorite jonathan fire*eater song "the search for cherry red"


le sigh.....

let the right one in

I saw this movie last night in the theater

and I am still trying to wrap my head around it. I *think* i liked it but it was not even REMOTELY anything i was expecting.

{with a title culled from a morrissey tune it's already off to a good start-"let the right one slip in"- from viva hate

Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They cannot
They cannot
They cannot do what you want them to do
Oh ...
Let the right one in
Let the old dreams die
Let the wrong ones go
They do not
They do not
They do not see what you want them to
Oh ...
Let the right one in
Let the old things fade
Put the tricks and schemes (for good) away
Ah ... I will advise
Ah ... until my mouth dries
Ah ... I will advise you to ...
Ah ... let the right one slip in
Slip in
Slip in
And when at last it does
Id say you were within your rights to bite
The right one and say, what kept you so long ?
What kept you so long ?
Oh ..

i don't know if the writer was inspired by mozz or not but the lyrics are pretty apt}



i wouldn't consider this a vampire movie or even a horror movie really. the fact that there's a vampire in it is merely incidental.it feels very foreign, very arty and at points it seems really long. that isn't to say it wasn't interesting.it's more of a conversation piece.in fact it's not unlike watching a david lynch movie in some ways. it leaves a lot of open ends, a lot of plot points that you struggle to make sense of but still unforgettable and visually stimulating.

there are aspects of the story that are quite sweet and almost romantic. there are other aspects that are quite disturbing.

it's definitely not your typical movie-it's very dark but it defies genre. it certainly defies any kind of horror subgenre-it's not gory, it's not campy (i did laugh hysterically at one point but i don't think it was supposed to be that funny-i think that was just my warped sense of humor), there is no t&a (which as we all know is a main foundation of any good horror flick), no snappy one liners (albeit the film *is* swedish).
all that said, it's not a rush to the theater kind of flick and i'm not sure i would even watch it a second time. i think this one is going to take a couple of months to sink in fully with me.

seperated at birth: night of the creeps

i happened to be flipping through the tube the other day and perchanced to come upon some bit with local nbc10 morning news anchor terry ruggles.

i'm more of an abc 6 news girl myself ("there's that news van again!" and cause really no one beats jim gardner...no one!) but somehow or other i got hypnotized watching terry ruggles try out different salons in the area that are currently "going green" by having facial masks slathered on his face. he has been a staple in the philadelphian news collective for my entire life and he's always been a bit of an oddball.
the guy has a completely bizarre way of reporting any bit of news. there's a lot of stammering, odd pauses and staring into space and honestly he seems a bit...touched.

anyway it's recently occurred to me that it's possible the the ruggles is just one in a set of creepy mccreeperson seperated at birth triplets.

a holy trinity of creepiness. a creeptastic triumvirate if you will.

so there's weirdo news guy terry ruggles.



there's the longtime local dick clark wannabe jerry "the geator with the heater" blavat. (i will never ever understand this guy's purpose...is it just to annoy and be obnoxious?)



and then of course there's famous creepster character actor willem dafoe.


i swear. they are all cut from the same cloth.

(i'm sure this is good source material for nightmares for AT LEAST a week...did i purposely try to find the creepiest pictures of each of them? oh you bet i did! )

fuck yeah is right

the greatest blog E.V.E.R.

fuck yeah sharks

give it to me baby

this could be IT!!!
i'm going to game 5 of the world series tonite.
if we win tonite we win the world fucking series.
and i will be there in person to actually see it.
unfuckingbelievable.

just like hall and oates said cole hamels you make'a my dreams come true









maybe i'm a little too obsessed with lost but i'm starting to make all these kind of silly supernatural connections as to why we are going to win the whole shebang tonight:

last time we won was 1980.


now it's 2008.transpose 80 to 08. to me that looks just about right.
the last time we won the world series i was in diapers-it's been 28 years since we won and i'm 28 years old. my parents actually attended the winning game 6 of the world series and i'm actually attending tonight's game.
my favorite pitcher cole hamels is actually pitching at the game i have a ticket to.and he's usually a sureshot.
my other favorite player shane victorino has the same birthday as me but born in 1980.

my third favorite player jayson landing strip werth is number 28...and he incidentally hit a homerun last night!


me terry and jamie were just joking about hall and oates recently and now find out that hall is doing the anthem tonight.


all coincidence? i think not. jj abrams is clearly behind this whole thing. he and uncle charlie and the mlb must have been having secret meetings on the island.


last night's game was so amazing. i could barely even talk afterwards. i was practically mainling jameson's and pbr and that might have had something to do with it but still...
our heads were spinning with extreme ecstacy.


anything i possibly can cross will be crossed and i'm wearing lucky red undies.whatever superstitions however ridiculous they may be i will follow so that we win tonite.i will not hear any negative thoughts from anyone. i need to see this happen before my very eyes and i have faith that it will.


tonite's the night we're gonna make it happen.
tonite we'll put all other things aside.




i'm so excited and i just can't hide it....i'm about to lose control and i think i like it.

GO PHILS!

seperated at birth: BEAT LA edition

watching last night's phillies dodgers game it occurred to me that the dodger's manny ramirez looked like an ork with a baseball bat.

seriously!
here's ramirez (i would have liked to have found a photo of him up at bat which looks way more accurate when he has his mouthguard in and looks more disgusting and dirty with his mud covered helmet and bat)


and here's an ork




the other night when they got in the fight/controversy centering around victorino and the pitching retaliation i really wished baseball were a bit more like hockey and they would have let them duke it out. i can't stand that smug bastard ramirez. victorino got fined anyway-he at least could have gotten a good swipe at him in for his troubles.

oh it is SO on tomorrow night!!

last night's game against the dodgers was so exciting that i kept forgetting to breathe. we have pulled in front to a 3-1 lead and are just one game away from getting to the world series for the first time since 1993!!!!!!!!

shane victorino-the flyin hawaiian and my birthday twin-knocked a beautiful one out of the park along with a suprising homerun from matt stairs. charlie manuels even cracked a smile-i swear we saw it happen.lights out lidge closed it on out as we expected.

the game was a *total* nailbiter.

i have a day to take a breather and then of course i will be on edge again-i'm counting on these two hot studs to clinch it tomorrow night.



i am djing on friday night so if they don't seal the deal tomorrow i am going to have to figure out how to simultaneously watch the game and spin tunes at the same time.yikes!
