Welcome to the Suck of Unemployment

Yeah so besides going crazy looking for a job and having no money, I decided to update my blog. I think I might venture outside today as it is the first day since I've been back here it hasn't been raining. So if you see a girl at Lafayette Park reading Anthony Bourdain's Kitchen Confidential and humming "Cherry Cola" by EODM that would be me. Who are we kidding it is 2:00 my eyes are straining from searching craigslist, I haven't showered, and have eaten nothing but leftover Easter Ham. I will prob be grabbing a lawn chair and going on my roof to read.

Also for those who haven't heard my temp agency thinks I'm qualified to be an accountant. So I guess that is why last week I was analyzing budget software for an online magazine. Something which I am sumpremely unqualified for. Guess what? I am going back tomorrow to have some financial planners yell at me and slave away on a laptop. Why you ask? Because I have no money and can't sell my eggs because I am afraid of needles and surgery.

But should you have any jobs for me and and not of the kind you call blow (sorry Hedwig joke, I am not that pervy) please let me know.

On the up side go to the Birdmonster CD release Wed at Mezz it is only $5 and if my unemployed ass can pay that so can you.

Oh Yeah I also watched Jarhead last night and that temporally lifted my spirits, although it was way intense. I am referring to the uplifting nature of the double eye (and loads of vowels) candy of Gyllenhaal & Saarsgard in top military shape and often shirtless. It was a really intense movie about war and the life of soldiers blah blah blah. But ladies tune in for Gylenhaal banging some chick against a wall j/k. it was a great film. Also has anyone else seen the SNL where Peter Saarsgard hosted and he spoke at the Pirate Convention, hilarious.

Also I made an awesome ham yesterday and a kick ass chutney here is a pic of a ham:

New Albumns, Tunes, and Pics from Trip

I was so excited to finally pick up the new YYYs and Morrissey albums yesterday. I was planning on trying to by them in Rome but that didn't really happen. I was so stoked to see this photo when I opened up "Ringleader of the Tormentors" Morrissey on a vespa awesome:

Although I wasn't able to run into Morrissey in Roma where he currently resides and recorded the new album, I did pick up this awesome Italian rock mag with him on the cover:

So now onto the albums. I really loved the YYYs show at Bimbo's but def noticed that the new songs seemed a bit distant and lacking the primitive rock which I love about "Fever to Tell" and their EP. However, this album does grow on you and feels like you are in a long cross country road trip. I would also recommend reading the YYYs cover story in the new Spin which basically states that Nick Zinner and Karen O are no longer friends and that the band could go caput at any moment. Also Karen O's new solo album is poised for release in 2007.

Now on to Moz. I love Morrissey and it would be hard for me not to like a new album he puts out. I think "Ringleaders" is a nice departure from his last album. But it is slower, more sexual, but lacking a real hit such as "First of the Gang". This album was definitely influenced by Rome and he even used a Italian film composer to arrange it, as well as a Italian children's choir. I really love " To Me You Are Like A Work of Art" which is a beautiful love song. Also in the same Spin I mentioned above they have a Morrissey interview with Marc Spitz, who else better to interview him. In it he mentions he is almost finished with his autobiography and that The Smiths were offered a ass load of money to reunite for Coachella. Thankfully Spitz links Morrissey's own successful quest to reunite the New York Dolls and that of many Smiths fans to see them reunite. Don't hold your breath according to moz still not gonna happen.

Ahh I almost forgot here is the link to all my pics from the trip.

I'm Back

I am so happy to be back from my trip, I will post a link to an online gallery of my pics for everyone soon. I had a really great time Cari and I saw so many places in Spain, Portugal, and Italy. Here are a couple pics from us from Las Fallas which is a festival in Valencia where they build giant Fallas or kinda like elaborate floats and then burn them at the end. We ended up going to Madrid, Valencia, Granada, Seville, Lisbon and Sintra in Portugal, and Milan, Rome, and Cinque Terre in Italy.


Still trying to get over my jet lag, but I think Joe and I will be going to the Peer Pleasure opening at Yerba Buena tonight. I am so excited to see everyone in SF call me this weekend and we can hang out!!!!!
