takes one to know one lisa…

since lisa commented on my sucky book entry in the form of a rebuttal, i feel i must reply to her in the same manner.
“Jodi, you ignorant slut.
“The Hunger” (1983) was first a novel by Whitley Strieber but was also a kick-ass movie staring Catherine Deneuve, David Bowie and Susan Sarandon, and Cate and David were VAMPIRES! Also, there’s a super cool scene of Sarandon and Deneuve making out. Dude, any movie where David Bowie is playing a vampire is double plus good with me. Even more fun is the opening scene which features a Goth club, in which the young Goths are being hunted by vamps, and Bauhaus is singing “Bella Lugosi’s Dead” live at the club.
Sadly, this movie is not available from Netflix, but if you find it at the local video store, check it out.”

did i not mention it was a movie? i believe i did. it matters not to me that it’s a movie. i am talking about the book here. and the book SUCKED ASS. i’m sorry, it did. i could barely stand it. i skipped a huge part of the middle, and skimmed the last third. i wouldn’t say it’s the worst book i’ve ever read, that was probably The Shipping News. at least, it’s the book that made me actually scream, “this book sucks so hard!” in reality, the shipping news won awards and was also made into a movie. but the book was painful. and i threw it into the woods while camping, in hopes that a bear would come along and use it for toilet paper. i probably would have done the same thing with the hunger, except it was a library book. thankfully. which means none of my hard earned money was wasted on it.
just because it has vampires in it, doesn’t mean it’s good.
i’m a very intelligent slut, i’ll have you know

The organ itself seemed like a, a separate thing, um, a separate entity to me.

so, my new thing is… i want to be telekinetic. i used to want to be clairvoyant. or maybe read minds. but, i really don’t care that much about other people’s opinions anymore. wheeee! it’s so freeing. now i just want to be able to move really big shit with my mind. i started thinking about this about two weeks ago, when i went to the barnes and noble in crossroads center. there was a big ol’ fuck off truck, a dodge ram i think, and it was taking up not one, not two, not even three, but four parking spots. and that just pisses me off so much! it’s so freaking rude! i just wanted to pick up his truck and move to the other side of the shopping center. or the roof of the shopping center. something. you know? and since then, i see dozens of reasons every day why i need to be telekinetic.
so this is my question… if you are telekinetic, can you fly? because, if you can move things with your mind, you could probably pick yourself up and move yourself in a flying type direction, right? because i would so love to be able to fly, as well. that would rule.
i’ve been listening to this internet radio station, through iTunes lately, called The Green Lounge. which plays “space age, latin, torch singers, exotica, acid jass, balladiers, las vegas lounge.” and no commercials. it doesn’t interfere too much with my working or writing. i like it. you kind of have to understand that a lot of this music i grew up with, having musicians in the family. but the best part is, sometimes they will have some song played on an organ, no singing. and it totally reminds me of my grandmother grace, and her organ. which she used to play all these old songs, with all the extra bells and whistles and foot pedals. i was so sad when she had to sell the organ, when they moved into an assisted living apartment. it was a classic from the early 70’s at least. maybe even late 60’s. it was HUGE. if i could have afforded to ship it up from arizona, i would have taken it. too kitsch! talk about your space age latin lounge music. i’ll try to find a picture of it and post it up here.
