Sarah's Bloglet

Pimpin' old man!: Pale yellow creased slacks, a little short; longsleeved silk shirt with a pattern of large squares of color (red, green, yellow, white); fawn-colored short pointy-toed suede boots; dark green jacket slung over one shoulder, canary yellow trucker hat. Oh my word he looked so cool.

Today was a real fashion extravaganza. Maybe it's the heat, but damn. I saw two fly-ass goth chicks within five minutes, one of whom verified for me that fishnet hose with open-toed shoes can be done well. _

For all the haters: Chris Onstad (better known as that dude who writes Achewood) loves him some Peanuts. The evidence:

Q: Are there any classic or contemporary comics that fueled an early interest in doing a comic strip?
A: [Bloom County, Garfield, Mad Magazine] And tons of Snoopy - old rotting, crumbling pulp paperbacks from the garage sales that my mom scoured.
Q: There seemed to be a sadness and complexity to Peanuts that a lot of people missed.
A: Peanuts is fifty years of work. It may be hard for recent adopters to get into. It takes a commitment to fully appreciate its history but there is a certain anthology which lays it all out plain as day, and it is a real treat to read.


So there. _

Has anybody done "Marcel Proust has a posse" yet? If not, I got dibs.

Actually, what about a series of Warhol-esque French writers? Baudelaire, Proust, Rimbaud -- any good pictures of Moliere and Racine? _

How to pick Frontalot out of a crowd*:

-Pale shiny head;

-Mad lyrical flow;

-Tight-ass back-up band;

-Really sweet taste in shoes.

He played "Nerdcore Hiphop" and "Indier than Thou" (of course). He performed with the house band for a neat rock opera group of which he is apparently a member. I heard a lot of their songs, and they're really good. (Dude, their most recent show was called, "Young Zombies in Love" so what more could you ask for?)

Ok, so it took me a while to catch onto the Achewood bandwagon, but thanks to Mirabai's cameo I've been reading Ray's Advice column, and goddamnit this is so true:

"It sounds to me like you haven't read the Sex Rulebook! The first rule of Sex is that everybody can always get it on. Man, go for it! Awesome! Awesome!" _

Everytime I try to download, say, an MP3 the media player claims it can't find it. Changing the temporary internet files location in IE doesn't seem to help. I thought that this might result from the location I was sending things to (C:\Documents and Settings\speters instead of C:\Documents and Settings\SPETER~1~000 or something) but I store all the documents that I regularly access in the same location, so that doesn't make sense. Any ideas on what could be causing the problem, or what information I need to get in order to solve it? _

I was waiting for the train at about 11:30 last night when a tall soft-spoken dude in dreadlocks came up to me. He asked whether what I was reading (the SF Weekly film section) was interesting, and asked whether I liked film. Then he told me that he'd just finished location shooting in Germany and Morocco for his conceptual-art sci-fi thriller movie. Dude. _
