That's a weird looking face.

Hmm........
In the distance I traveled to get to Austin from Northridge, I could have driven from Paris though Bulgaria, to Germany and ending up in Romania to visit my vampiric relatives.

Bleah, Bleah! We shall drink...wine....

FYI: Usually, an acronym for a band name is secondary to the name, but in the case of KMFDM, the acronym IS the name. Originally meant to stand for "Kein Mitleid Für Das Mehrheit", which translates to "No Pity for the Majority"...now I wanna start a tribute band called NPFTM…I’ll get my boots ready for stompin’…cuz, that’s what they’re made for…

PS: check out Big Louies’ blog at http://razapressassociation.org/sinfronteras/ , it’s not so much movie reviews, book reviews, ruminations on life or whatever- but more of a collection of Latino American issues especially one of identity, activism and politics in today’s world. Plus it links to his FLICKR page which contains evidence of what I did at Casa Pacifica during times where there was nothing to do and they had they bright idea to leave a digital camera in my grubby little hands.

Plus the thing that I like about Big Louie’s blog is that it’s a constant reminder that the world is much bigger than me, you, movies, music, work and art. There’s a big globe underneath your feet and the petty little problems one may have don’t mean didly squat when you realize that some people are trying to attempt change on a bigger scale.

That and criticisms of the Bush Administration.

One of these days I’ll get my own digital camera. I love taking pictures of stuff. Obviously, I’m not as talented as Holly is in picture taking- her work demonstrate that she has more creativity in her pinkie than I’ll ever have. My pics are more slice of life things and are mostly poorly composed and rarely focused.

Ronan Harris of VNV Nation posted a bulletin on Myspace that a new album may be out later this year. That rules. Hope the band comes by Austin or San Antonio…I’ve seen them at LA twice and those some of the best shows I’ve ever been at. I got to shake their hands and everything. Plus he answers your emails…Robert Smith never corresponds with me…

Plus VNV Nation’s doing the soundtrack to the movie Gene Generation. The IMDB entry makes it sound like a very direct to video release despite Bai Ling and Parry Shen from Better Luck Tomorrow- an awesome movie if you haven’t seen it yet. Hopefully they release the soundtrack as well.

Rainy days are here again…the kind that make you wish you stayed in and listen to Disintegration over and over again…

Came across the year 1990 in my work (I’m a Time Lord)…and realized that that was SIXTEEN years ago. There are teenagers out there who’ve never lived in the eighties.

Are you gonna drop the bomb or not?

Speaking of Time Lords, I saw the third episode of the new Doctor Who last night. Zombies- gotta love the Living Dead.

(Speaking of the young ones…someone just requested on the flashback lunch the song New Order by Bizarre Love Triangle- I kid you not…)
