i know, fucked up, right?!

he and i are on some weird same james brown wavelength.

so anyway, JAMES BROWN DAY!

totally awesome.

it was inspired by this mix i made for niki (rrose_selavy) last night:

"that's entertainment" morrissey

"diggin' your scene" the blow monkeys

"(i'm always touched by your) presence, dear" blondie

"levitate me" pixies

"what?" soft cell

"the weight of my words (four tet remix)" kings of convenience

"save it for later" english beat

"couldn't care more" fine young cannibals

"rescue" echo & the bunnymen

"newark wilder" pavement

"i don't mind (live at the appollo)" james brown

"one april day" stephen merritt

"sascha" jolie holland

"chelsea hotel no 2" leonard cohen

"a short term effect" the cure

"starman" david bowie

"manic depression" jimi hendrix

"spread" outkast

"cybele's reverie (abc session)" stereolab

"happy people" R MOTHERFUCKING KELLY.

totally awesome. so awesome, in fact, that tonight was another singing night! i almost called lexical_closure, but i pussed out because i sang "what?" by soft cell...and i didnt know if he could GET INTO THAT.

so i called niki instead.

also, work people asked me to go drinking with them tonight and i declined.

i don't need that kind of pressure.

plus, i'm 6 kinds of broke, so fuck paying for overpriced drinks at some stupid bar that plays contemporary country. FOR SERIOUS.

also, i'm finding stuart a new home. he's miserable here in my apt where he can't go outside. it's tragic and my heart's kinda broken. but like, what kind of mama would i be if i kept him here? please cross your fingers that the girls i used to live downstairs from want to take him. they love him and he loves them. it would be the ideal match.

say a prayer or a hope or whatever fits in your belief system.

after i get back from my trip to so cal, i'll probs get a kitten and train it from the get-go to be an indoor kitty.

i'll probably name him stuart too.

or aaron.
