The text and photo are by the Lou O’ Bedlam whom I accidentally kidnapped yesterday for a day of shooting, new dog adoption and adrenaline junkie talk. His prose fresh and it’s a bit early and I have to get myself caffeinated and out the door so here is his text below.

I spent the majority of yesterday with Zoetica Ebb, techno-renaissance internet goddess extraordinaire . First at the animal shelter, as we entered into a surprise silent auction for the dog she wanted. I really thought the yuppie gay couple had it locked in, as did the 19 year old girl who burst into tears when she found out she had to fight for the dog. “But I already bought dog tags!!” We spent over an hour there, waiting for the place to open, and then another few minutes for the auction, and then the requisite 15 minute waiting period after the auction prices were entered. The gay couple seemed quite nice, they already had a few dogs, they’d come by the day before to spend some serious time with the dog we wanted. It was their game to lose.

Fortunately, when it came to the showdown, Z blew ‘em out of the water. They saw the purple hair, the back tattoo peeking out of her shirt, the car with a different colored bumper and thought she wasn’t prepared to go the distance.

But she was. We asked the Animal Services officer to presided over the auction, “that was exciting, right?” And she couldn’t help but nod and grin sheepishly.

Man, I really want a dog now.

After emerging from the place victorious, we had ourselves a celebratory brunch at Roscoe’s House of Chick’n & Waffles. And by god, it was the best food I’d had there in years. The waffle was so light, so tasty, the chicken, succulent as advertised, and it tasted like they’d added a little new something to the recipe, a new seasoning, it was so good we were forced to stop talking and just “Mmmm” to each other.

Oh, and then we did a photo shoot.

Her apartment? F.U.C.K.I.N.G. W.I.L.D. Super high ceilings meant much more room for her fresh paintings, bookshelves were filled with comics, manga, russian books, sci-fi novels, the works of the Great Palahniuk, there were antiquated medical gear pegged on the wall, huge velvet drapes covered floor to high high high ceiling windows, the place was crack for the eyes. And her roommate wasn’t half bad, neither.

But there was a cat.

Good times, good conversation and stories to fill days of posts.

Happy monday.

I can has fish eye?!?

Kyle plays "Ace of Spades" on the dijeridoo, much to the delight and amazement of the cats.



In other news, I'm off to Boston for a swell few days with the Dresden Dolls, it's great seeing things come together for them and great having time with them. We have some awesome stuff planned, and then Brian's jetting off to Europe to play with World Inferno.

Some of the shots we did just a few weeks ago have started surfacing on various Roadrunner web pages and publicity whatnots -- i'm happy with these, but i know we're going to do even better this time around.



trillian_stars will no doubt be partying all day and night while I'm gone, I expect to see pix, peoplez!

NO MORE SCHOOL!!!!!!!!!! (i sound like a 12 year old). Now i can read the shit i want, which is the stuff i was reading during the semester anyway. i just dont have a paper lingering overhead now. 

got so much to do. got a bunch of medical stuff to take care of. its strange, i dont see doctors very often. never have the money for the stuff i need. should get my teeth looked at while im at it. car comes first though. no air conditioning and summer is-a-comin'. 

frozen gym membership has kicked back in so i guess ill head there today : P

what am i doing sitting here. off to run errands!!!!!

cunningly concealed like a toupee in a merkin shop, the new album demo track samples have been floating about the inter-webz & forums with their cloaking devices engaged for a week or so. those nifty enough to have traced their location (or, simply, to have joined either of the 3 street teams for a live link) will have sniffed the taste of things to come. samples as they are though, we now present you with the promise of the money shot, the full monty, the upskirt nipple-tastic birthday suit bonanza…

we will be playing full length demo versions of the songs ‘timelines’ & ‘singularity’ from the forthcoming album ‘parasite’ tomorrow (tuesday may 13th) from 7pm onwards on total rock radio.

interlock’s vocal department, hal & christina, will be appearing on maz’s show to provide this exclusive opportunity to hear the advance promos of this new material. after that point though, neither of these tunes will be available to hear as full tracks until the album versions are released later in the year, so it’ll be a long, quiet summer if you miss this one!

look out also for news on the latest developments for 2008 tour dates (worldwide), merch & other assorted fact-nuggetoids.

…well, it’ll beat sitting at home trying to lick your own elbow.

I cannot explain the smell that is fogging up our kitchen right now, oh my fucking god, it is unholy.

What the fuck was I thinking when I put trousers on this morning?
Luckily I've been in the shade/darkrooms all day. We had to take photos of strangers on medium format and I was with a girl I hadn't really spoken to before. We proved to be pretty much as crap as eachother but got it done eventually... I hope. I'm going back later to colour print.

Bus time!

Каррент муд у меня апсет мэод...

Пытаюсь купить в Израиле на кашерные деньги пре-релиз этой блин платной MMO Age of Conan, и НЕ МОГУ!
В лучшем случае, какие-то левые фирмы торгуют ключами без бонусов, это значит, еще надо клиент с интернета скачать... а клиент сам тридцать гиг весит. Я уебусь стока качать, потом, я хочу мои бонусы! И коебочку. И диски. И вообще.

Английские сайты* не продают господам без визы, хотя я специально заказал на почте одноразовую электронную карточку. Мог с тем же успехом наличкой попытаться у них купить. Выбил из матери разрешение воспользоваться визой с большим скандалом, а она - valid only in Israel.

Попытался купить ключ, ключ! с бонусами, через русский сайт gamegarant. Попросил друга перевести рублями на вебмани, потом ему отдал через Вестерн Юнион. Специально проверил репу у них, по всем форумам, говорят, хорошая репа!
Репа пиздата, да ключ не вводится.

В израильских магазинах спрашивать пре-релиз чего-либо вообще без мазы. Они работают с крупными фирмами, крупные фирмы не собираются выпускать на рынок ничего без "локализации". Местная локализация в данном случае состоит из пятидесяти слов на иврите на коробочке мелкими буквами, но делать это они будут еще как минимум год, без иронии. Левантийский бизнес!

Я уже просто не знаю, что делать!
Купить надо до семнадцатого мая, иначе бонусы фьюить...
Рыдаю!!!!

WE LEAVE AT DAWN
