oh shit, I have been so very sick for the past few days with what seems to be mash-up of the classics: fever, flu, & strep throat. If you're reading this Kendra H. ... thank you soooo much for the crystal orb and mix CD!!! it truly made me feel a lot better.

this is the "Shape-shifting Prada Transformer Building"












"Transformer will be built from a steel framed tetrahedron skinned in a plastic membrane. The tetrahedron is framed by four shapes: A hexagon, cross, rectangle and circle. Depending on the activity, whether staging a fashion show or showing a movie, the pavilion will be lifted, rotated on its axis, and put back down. For instance, when a movie is being shown, the floor will be the rectangle. When the fashion show is on, the cross might be more appropriate to accommodate a runway, and so on." - inhabitat.com

Bad Bob in THE LIFE & TIMES OF JUDGE ROY BEAN

1 of 3 Absolut Vodka commercials by ZACH GALLFINAKIS, TIM & ERIC.

So I finally got the Dinosaur L LP and it had the wrong version of the song (Go Bang!) that I wanted which was the reason for buying the record. So I found the 12" version of it (produced by Francois K) and it was relatively cheap.... and totally killer! They're totally different songs, and in the past few days I have grown to like the original just as much if not better! Arthur Russell's singing on the LP version is a sort of excited desperation.... and very rhythmic.

I also will also be getting the 12" single for MIKE T.'s Do It Any Way You Wanna !!!!! Oh shitttt....

Ness & I visited the Helm Gallery in Tacoma on Saturday, or the sidewalk in front of the Helm Gallery... cause that place was closed! It was full of very strange laboratory looking shit and a bunch of empty beer cans and all the lights were on. So we went next door to this fairly exciting antique toy store. I saw a bunch of cool stuff... but I was not there to spend, unfortunately.

Fortunately we ended up at House of Records just up the hill and I found a mint copy of Prince's Batman Soundtrack on vinyl and Partyman has never sounded sooo good!

blah blah blah records records......


speaking of records, we got the Joey Casio disco plate last week and it is sooo good. I can't wait to DJ that record, although I probably won't do it if he ends up coming into the QB... would that weird him out?

the weather in Olympia this past weekend was a drag... and so were the movies I watched: MARNIE by Hitchcock starring Sean Connery & Tippi Hendrick, WRITTEN ON THE WIND by Douglas Sirk starring Rock Hudson, Lauren Bacall, & that dude from Unsolved Mysteries, & DANGEROUS LIASONS by Frears starring John Malkovich, Glen Close, Uma Thurman, Michelle Phiefer, & Keanu Reeves. ugggghhhh what a freakish piece of shit accident that I watched all of these movies in a row! I feel like I need to sit in the woods for a week.

I got a Walkman the other day for $7 and that's been exciting. I haven't heard music outside of home or the office in a while. OK .... I have to go to sleep

ohhhh shittttt!!!!
I just got the Dinosaur L 24->24 Music album on vinyl!
I found it on ebay for 13 dollars!

DJ CAT FANCY
at Quality Burrito ||| March 18th, 2009

how did she do it?

Ben, Cole, & I checked out Davy James Sawtell Weinburg's new house before we walked over to EXILED Records (only a few blocks away!)!

Here Cole is about to purchase his 16 records

that he selected in under an hour!
very impressive!

Valentine's Day strawberries

Cole opened up the world of Mark Gormley and the Uncharted Zone!
thanks Cole. Also, make sure to check out Ken Manning.

holy shit! this band THE CAUZE is from Fort Worth, TX and the lead singer is Brent Meador's cousin! he's the steamy guy in a white suit and has a perm. wait, they all have perms.

today at work, Todd told me about this lady whose hair was weaved so tightly, that when her crazy boyfriend took a shot at her with a .40 caliber pistol ...
her weave hair stopped the bullet from penetrating her skull!

I also got to see Shea Solomon & Ryan VanderHoff...
2 dudes I haven't seen since my days at Richland High.

that reminds me... has anyone ever seen BILLY JACK?
cause Ryan V. really likes that movie...
and I have always been intrigued by the cover.

In other news, I am gonna DJ at QB tomorrow. Not really sure what to expect... but I wish I was DJ-ing at TIGA in Portland... cause that place has the most delicious food ever in a bar... plus they have Black Boss Porter, my most favorite beer ever. ....thanks B.P. I had a really nice time in Portland this past weekend... soaking at the Kennedy school was cool. & the Portland Trailblazers game was extremely memorable. I might even go again if I had the chance to attend w/ some buddies.

gotta start working on that homework!
