goldenmeanJust back from Skinny Puppy, which was a really good show, though I think more because of the crowd's energy level than anything else. Ohgr looked dashing as a white trash pirate vampire who had lost a fight with an oil slick covered octopus made out of tubing, but this is not a look I find intimidating or spooky. The fact that he made shadow puppets for most of the evening also added to the hilarity. However, they played most of my favorites, and the crowd was at a good energy level, and I take great joy in being completely irreverent and was able to snark with Alisa all evening. I especially liked the vaguely moog-y effects they had on Worlock. Oh god, and I almost forgot to mention the Ominous Slinky Dildo in my description of Ohgr's outfit. Ominous Slinky Dildo (Or OSD for those in the know) is my all Moog Skinny Puppy cover band. I would pay good money for the people from Moog Cookbook to do an industrial cover album. Man that would be awesome.
A desperate search for water, an impromptu detour at Mel's, and a ridiculous amount of stupid bridge detour later, and I'm home. And bored. Maybe I will watch more Arrested Development, or read, or sleep or something.
First though, I'll finish filling in the rest of the week, in reverse chronological. Hung out with Diana yesterday, mainly just bumming around Berkeley, which was nice. We watched Surf's Up, which was silly, but playing at a convenient time, and also, bizarrely, free. Apparently I am now recognized in downtown Landmark theater circles. I totally should have made friends with/attempted to date theater employees years ago. Then we had thai, hung out in the park, and went to go pester Sean and Starr at work. And I bought soap that smells like delicious cookies, and will hopefully do the same for me. All in all, a very nice day.
Tuesday, I roamed aimlessly around. I've gotten into the habit of walking along the exercise path that runs underneath the BART tracks whenever I want to head Berkeley-wards and am not in a huge hurry. It's very pleasant, and I can read while doing it, and it's decent exercise, and well, it eats time, and if you're chronically bored like I am, that last one is really the deciding factor. Sadly, I know it's a habit that'll fall almost immediately by the wayside once I start working again, and my free time dwindles. Ah well. That evening I went to go see Hot Fuzz again, as it was playing at the Cerrito, which is a whopping 4 blocks or so away, and I decided I desperately wanted popcorn. Plus Will had mentioned he was going, and I loves me some brother-in-law. But it was mainly the popcorn, I've got to admit. I got carded, which I find unbelievably hilarious. I know I don't really look my age, but 21?
Hrm. I guess I already talked about Monday, so I'm done. Woo. Now to figure out what to do before sleep.
