What's your favorite restaurant?
La Hacienda in Little Rock. OMG best Mexican food evar. I would die for their enchiladas in tomatillo sauce any time, any day.
Also, this is odd... I googled them to see if they had a website I could post a link to here, and this is what google says the URL is:
So, apparently the best Mexican food in Little Rock can be found at the Arkansas School for the Blind.
Do you play any musical instruments?
i have played classical piano since i was 4. but i am out of practice now.
sadly, it took too long for the equipment to arrive (they already had a donor ferret ready to go). the vet expected the kit Friday morning at the earliest, but Milo couldn't make it that long. he died Thursday evening. i miss my little buddy an awful, awful lot. i am utterly heart-broken. something in me really wants to be angry with the vet for not ordering the transfusion kit earlier, but i think that's just me looking for someone to blame.
Do you have any tattoos? If not, if you were going to get inked, what would you get?
[on my back/neck] [down my right arm] [on my chest] [on my tailbone]
in order of acquisition, no less.
i think [eventually] my next tattoo will be this on my inner left forearm in white ink:
What is your favorite cover song?
Question submitted by Ray.
That would be a tie between Chappaquiddick Skyline covering New Order's Leave Me Alone and Xiu Xiu covering Joy Division's Ceremony. Also, the first person who comments that Ceremony is New Order song, gets on my shit-list.
[p.s. i failed in my weekend goal of curing cancer. i suck.]
What's one thing that you'd like to get done this weekend? Is there anything holding you back?
This weekend I would like to cure cancer for everyone in the world. I'm not sure i can get a medical degree and a research position in two days, so that might be a holdback. Perhaps I can come up with another method...
What's your cell phone's ringtone? What made you pick it?
new order - blue monday.
i picked it cos it ROCKS!!
There is a beautiful honey-souled man sleeping naked in my bed right now. I should be there with him but work stops for no [wo]man.
It was difficult to fall asleep last night. I could feel the sleep pressing around me but just as I neared the tipping point, the calling birds swooped in on me, causing my brain to bob back to the surface again.
I think he could tell that something kept pulling me back, so he kept watch until I finally descended to the bottom of the sleep tank.
And then the dreaming... and the jarring vertigo of my body talking,
telling me things, revealing its secrets. There was a tickle from under
my left arm. The focused tapping of some intelligent form of life
following its purpose. I rolled and raised to peer at the disturbance.
Two small mounds like little kisses raised in the tissue of my
side-breast and underarm, a miniscule hole in the tip of each. Tiny
transluscent ants that seemed to be made of sticky light. They traveled
back and forth between the two ports, carrying black grains from the
breast ant hole to the undearm ant hole. I reached out to brush them
away but found I couldn't. I woke to the alarm, my hand still swiping
at the phantom ant-toe tickling.
What's the one CD that will totally remind you of the Summer of 2006?
"Based around a re-occurring dream of David Tibet, of blacks ships
invading the sky and acting a catalyst for the coming of the
Anti-Christ and the second coming of Christ. The album takes on a very
personal and intense nature that is projected superbly through an array
of lovingly structured tracks and vocals that pricks at the very
essence of the listener. It finally seems that through sheer,
unequivocal devotion and constant hard work David Tibet and the
stunning array of talent artists that accompany him on the album, have
managed to produce the definitive Current 93 album, that is not only
superbly written and recorded but is presented perfectly. So much so
that if this where to be, god forbid, the finally Current 93 album, the
25 long years Tibet has put into his project would have been worth
every second, as every thing he’s set out to achieve with Current has
come into fruition through this albums release. Initially seeming to
take in it’s queue musically from the ‘folk-esque’ nature of ‘All the
Pretty Little Horses’, it soon becomes evident that this is just the
very tip of the iceberg as the layers of instrumentations, sounds and
vocals contain a depth and almost organic nature that has only been
touched upon by Current’s pervious work and is displayed with such
compassion and vigour that it soon becomes evident that the four years
spent on recording and releasing this album haven’t been in vain.
Dream-like in parts, haunting and reoccurring, ‘Black Ships..’ offers
up a cavalcade of thought-proving and image drenched songs that fit
together like pieces of a hand-crafted jigsaw. Each piece in fitting in
place perfectly, complimenting the next and adding a vital element to
the overall finished puzzle." [ via strangefortune ]
What are your three favorite album covers of all-time? Any honorable mentions?
Question submitted by Tamara.
too hard. too many albums and amazing covers.
the first three that spring to mind are:
Nurse With Wound / She and me fall together in free death
Coil / The Ape of Naples
Legendary Pink Dots / Four Days
An honorable mention would be Trevor Brown's cover for the Venetian Snares album Horse & Goat, but I won't be posting that here. Don't wanna get banz0red.
