[now playing: you are a knife _VETO:.]

so i just got up a little while ago.. like around 10, actually..
i watched boogie nights on IFC w/ tomek last night
killed the last half of a bottle of chard..

i'd forgotten how good of a movie boogie nights is..
i pretty much love anything with julianne moore, though..

paul thomas anderson makes good movies.. but what i couldn't get over was how much stronger boogie nights is than magnolia.. because i've always liked magnolia more..

God knows i've watched magnolia enough..

mark wahlberg's dick does look totally fake though..

but then, thats probably like the 1 most popular comment about that movie, and as i type, i feel disappointed in myself for wasting my blog to point that out..

oh well

_Last_WEek:.

i've been going to the overlook i always go to for lunch.. i like it there.. its really strange though because what happens is, i park, i take out my book and start reading.. meanwhile, about every 5 minutes, these converted minivan-tourist buses pull up, letting out small groups of people.. people who are visiting LA, i assume.

the driver/guide gives them fun facts about hollywood, and points out visible celebrity homes.. i wasn't really paying attention the other day, but i half-heard something about a house owned by -the brando's- i only remember, because this seemed to be a big deal to the crowd.

so usually while i sit there, i see between 3 and 6 groups come and go..

a few days ago i watched planes go by, listening to computer world.. i watched them glide over downtown, and descend onto LAX..

the other night, after work i went to

_House_of_Pies:.

to read, and have coffee..
i don't think i'm going to seat myself at the counter anymore, because the waitresses make me uncomfortable..
i'm
sort

searching
for
a
new
"dive"
right
now

so if anyone reading this has any suggestions, please.. do let me know in the form of a comment (Kudo's optional)

i'm going to be sad when i finish Microserfs..
i don't know what it is about douglas coupland, but i just want to absorb his books like an orange chamois towel..

next, i'm goign to start with his 1st book, and read his work in chronological order.. which means i have to track down a copy of 1991's Generation X
