with sunlight around my skin turns brown

the problem right now, at this moment, is that when i am out and it's getting on 11 pm i am sleepy. but as soon as i get home i am not. i am chock full of insomnia. it's frustrating and annoying. both of those things.
should i buy a tv tomorrow? maybe i will if they take checks. i guess i should really paint that wall first. but i haven't decided which of the white i am going to paint the wall in this room. this is the problem. we live in a time when there are too many choices. there are way too many beverages to choose from at trader joes. have you seen that juice section? i mean isn't apple and orange enough? and what about the vitamin aisle? jesus. and all the channels on the tv and the sattelite radio in my rental car. it's overwhelming. but it really gets ridiculous at the hone depot paint section. do i want vermont cream? maybe powdered snow is better. but what about billowy clouds? which one will go best with sea salt which is what i am painting the trim? too many choices. and i am not even a luddite! i mean i love my digital camera. i love technology. i love my flat screen tv i am going to buy. but why can't there just be one shade of white paint or maybe just ten. that would make this process easier.

another thing i have been thinking about.... that totally harsh billboard near the glendale blvd and scott street intersection. i don't have a photo of it. it's for a strip club somewhere in LA called "the playpen". and it's got a woman's head but maybe she isn't a woman. maybe she's a man in drag. but she's definitely supposed to be a woman. and she has a ring of black lip iner around her lips and it just looks, for lack of a better word, retarded. it doesn't look appealing. it doesn't look sexy. it just looks retarded. and gross. definitely gross too. i always wonder if the women that work there know about this billboard. cause i don't think they would be too happy if they did. i think they'd complain to management that it misrepresented them. i would think they would say something along the lines of "take that motherfucker down! i don't want to look like some skanky ho that just drank a gallon of grape juice and didn't wipe my mouth. wait make that a skanky, sloppy, drag queen stripper! i am not that, i am an exotic dancer." for some reason i keep thinking about that retarded billboard.

well, my friend annie is in town shooting a music video. and playing some shows. she is my first house guest! asleep in my new bed as i write this on the aerobed on the floor. i love video shoots. well, i don't really, they are pretty tedious. i like the lights at them though. this one is gonna look amazing.

her 9 year old brother thomas is in it!

i want this background. actually, how awesome would it be to have this whole scene for your living room?

and what about the "sunset on a lake" light? i want that too.

kime and i sat around for hooooours, well really like 90 minutes. taking sunkissed photos of ourselves at 9:30 PM.

oh yeah! speaking of buzzelli. she commented in my last post about looking so bad, "tales from the crypt" i think she said, that it made her not care about her tumor. well she could have it worse! she could look like old uncle monty from texas chainsaw massacre, aka my landlord. we saw him get his legs chopped off on tv the other day! it's awesome watching your landlord get his legs sliced off with a chainsaw. it'd be better if he was a prick.

see, it can always be worse.

you could be known as "fat kid".

Somone needs to tell whoever wrote that schedule in the last picture that 'Forest' doesn't have 2 r's...unless you are talking about a Gump.

well hello there.

Darn it! Jeff stole my line! I agree with you on color choices....white should be white...that's my stand and I'm stickin' to it!

David, you should check out this Scientific American article from a few years back called 'The Tyranny of Choice'.. it describes the modern phenomenon of 'maximizing' and how people are becoming increasingly less happy as more choices are offered. It's in a pdf here: http://www.swarthmore.edu/SocSci/bschwar1/Sci.Amer.pdf.
It's pretty interesting.

David, sorry to hear about your friend Kime's tumor. Hope it is not too painful and that it gets taken care of quickly. Those things are no good.

Best,
Maddy

White is really tough. It seems like it would be easy, but it is soooo not. I think when it comes to white paint, it is best to go to a fancy paint store where they have a well-edited selection of brands, rather than a Home Depot or Lowe's where the choices are overwhelming. I always like Benjamin Moore's Snowfall White.

I am so happy for you that you now have a place to call your own and are taking the time to really make it yours. Home is really the best place in the world.

also, I am with you on the disgusting black lipliner. Who thinks that looks good? It is so damn awful.
