What's CHAOS?

10 October 2008 @ 10:15 am

this is really only for my sake

So, remember the post about the Russian ljs? Well, they're all been deleted and were apparently bots.
And here I was thinking that I was all popular in Russia, but really they just wanted me email. :(

Things To Do
1. Catch up on readings which means I need to read:

The Beast In The Jungle by Henry James
The Picture of Dorian Gray by Oscar Wilde (because my memories of it when I read it when I was 14 are hazy and I only remember the gothic parts, because that was all I cared about when I was 14)
Discourse on Metaphysics and The Monadology by Leibniz
Marx's Theses On Feuerbach
Communist Manifesto by Marx & Engels
Problems of Cine-Stylistics by Boris Eikhenbaum
Cinema: The Greatest of the Arts by Anatoli Lunacharsky
A bunch of Eisenstein essays
On The Standard of Taste by David Hume
A bunch of Frank O'Hara poems

All by the end of this weekend. Good thing it's Thanksgiving
2. Celebrate Thanksgiving with immediate family and grandparents which means:

Spend all my time walking around in the woods
Making Waldorf Salad
Doing the above mentioned readings
Feeling bad about not doing the above mentioned readings

3. Stop eating meal replacement bars as meals
4. Apparently I'm being considered for the position of associate editor for the Film & Music section of my college's paper. Which is odd because:

I've only submitted three things, two of which they used and only one in the actual paper itself
I said I'd write a Nick Cave concert review, but I don't know how I'll be able to write one without the jist of it being that I want to have sex with Nick Cave.

5. It's not odd because

I know the editor and he's under the impression that I'm smart.
I have no idea how he got this impression

6. Finish A Confederacy of Dunces
7. I got 92.25$ from the government for no real reason. Apparently it's a tax credit. I need to deposit it in the bank.

Victim Services called earlier asking for my Dad and I totally freaked out thinking someone had died or my Dad had gotten into an accident, but it ends up it was all a mix up. Morning: less exciting. Me: Alarmist. Though I'm not as bad as my brother who keeps saying the dog is frothing at the mouth when she just has some dried drool because SHE IS A DOG.

ALSO I love Max Ophuls. My five hour break yesterday was way better spent watching The Earring of Madame de... and La Ronde than doing the above mentioned readings.

i don't care if this doesn't make sense.

On Wednesday night I went to see Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds.
Right now, Nick Cave & The Bad Seeds are my favourite band O.A.T. And I got to see them live.
My expectations were so fucking high

But not only did they deliver, they went above and beyond.
I have never been to a show as good, and doubt I will again (unless he comes back).
They played as if their instruments were wailing animals and it was beautiful.
It was sleaze and death and sex and poetry.
Nick Cave sweated through his shirt and told us he loved us in every sense of the word.
Warren Ellis rolled on the floor while playing the electric violin.
Nick Cave towered over the audience and made eye contact.
He looked at us. Nick Cave knows what I look like.

During the concert, I realized a few things:
When Nick Cave leapt on stage and sang that we get ready to shoot ourselves, I would have.
When Nick Cave sang Stagger Lee (!!!) at the end and posed in blow job position, I really really wanted to give him a blow job.
I love men in suits, especially when they sweat through them and are Nick Cave.
Nick Cave makes me want to be a man.
Nick Cave towering over me is erotic.
It was dirty greasy sleazy rock and I loved it.
Warren Ellis is Charles Manson on guitar/violin/flute and rolling around on the ground.
Seriously, Nick Cave. You don't even have to reciprocate.
In the encore when he sang two of my favourite songs from my favourite album, I knew what joy was.
It didn't matter that most of the audience was rude to each other and got into scuffles about getting into their personal space at a concert and some crazy woman with a velour hat kept screaming next to us.
I lost so much hearing, but if that's the last thing I'll ever hear, then I'm happy.

I have non blurry photos, but this one feels more appropriate.

( Movies in September )

I watched a lot of short films this month. I learned that I don't like the majority of Matsumoto's shorts but I still have hope for his full length films and watching 40 really early films in three hours is not fun. I think computer animation in experimental film is something I'll never like. It all seemed very... screensaver. And I should never watch a film and think about how it's lame now, but I really couldn't get over it.
I spend way too much time on ubu.

the education of madeleine wall

Logically, this would be roughly like printing "Not Legal Tender" across a brilliantly counterfeited dollar bill, the resulting object (counterfeit cum inscription) rendered incapable of deceiving anyone. It is not an illusory dollar bill, but then, just because it is non-illusory it does not automatically become a real dollar bill either. It rather occupies a freshly opened area between real objects and real facsimiles of real objects: it is a non-facsimile, if one requires a word, and a new contribution to the world.

What should I look for/any suggestions? You're all quite photo savvy, so you advice is appreciated. So far I know that I should have a lot of optical zoom and not digital zoom and that it should be made out of metal alloy.
Anything else?

8 Deaths In Venice | how many young boys?

19 September 2008 @ 10:14 am

So yesterday I decided to walk about town in my new heels. Now, I have this habit of buying cheap shoes that hurt my feet and stink so I can really only wear them for a year, because at that point no amount of baking soda is going to bring them back. These were legit high heels and beautiful and I thought I would totally be okay wearing them.
My walk to Zorro's house took 40 minutes when it usually takes 20. I think the issue is that my left foot is smaller than my right so the heel of my left foot was resting on the arch and not the heel. Motherfucking ow. I'm pretty sure that I'd sprain my ankle wearing those. Anyways, on leaving Zorro's house I determined that there is no way I can go downtown and walk around campus with these shoes, so we walked back to my house to switch into a pair of uglier, but walkable shoes. But about a block from his house I could not walk in those shoes a second longer. So I took them off and walked home barefoot. Along Mt. Pleasant. For about 15 blocks. It was uneventful, though Zorro did carry me across some broken glass. And then I spent all of my Queer Writing course thinking that I had things piercing the bottom of my feet, but it was entirely psychosomatic.
I should really stop buying cheap shoes. Or get some insoles. Or be carried around all the time.

TODAY I NEED TO: See the end of The Brood. I should have another David Cronenberg week soon.

5 Deaths In Venice | how many young boys?

17 September 2008 @ 10:03 am

boring post

I feel the need to talk about my courses every year. And this year is no different

Introduction to Continental Philosophy
I dig it. We read all the crazies (Kierkegaarde, Nietzche, Freud & Marx) and the prof is completely spacey. She goes on and on "what is suspicion? And how can one be a master of suspicion? To be suspicious is never ending, for even when you find the truth, how can that be the truth? We must question our most innate ideas, but what of the process of questioning? etc." It's amazing. And I'm currently really liking Kierkegaarde. But that could change.

Film Theory
The course looks good, the Prof is fun, the films we're watching look good (though we're watching Window Water Baby Moving. ahahahahahhaha). Like, we're watching All That Heaven Allows and then watching Ali: Fear Eats The Soul. And we're talking about psychoanalysis. So I'm digging that. But everyone (and I mean everyone) is a film major in that class. In tutorial we went around the room and everyone said their name, what they're majoring in and what's the worse movie they ever saw. And I was the only one who wasn't a film major. They're also all taking Film History (cause you need the two of them for a major) and all the kids in the tutorial do is reference the other class and last year's Intro To Film. Like, don't you read about film on your own? Don't you think outside the box? Referencing Andre Bazin is not impressive when we've all read Andre Bazin. But I'm not taking this course to listen to kids in my tutorial.

17th and 18th Century Philosophy
Since we're doing Descartes' Meditations on First Philosophy it's boring right now since I've read it before. Lecture's like a trip to a place you've been many times. You keep passing familiar landmarks (ball of wax, clear and distinct ideas, hyperbolic doubt, etc.) but there's always going to be overlap. ALSO the two people I hated most in the world last year from my classes are in this class. I thought this was U of T. I thought this was a giant school where I'll never see anyone I know. I thought I'd just be a number. Instead I'm stuck with these idiots. I like the prof though. She seems like she's not going to take any crap and we don't have a final exam. YES.

Aesthetics
I thought this would be a total wishy washy course about what is art? What does it mean? Not to say I don't love that stuff, and I do, but I wasn't looking forward to it. Instead it's analytic philosophy so it's quite mathy. Like x is artwork if and only if (of iff) x is a representation. But there is artwork that is not a representation and representations that are not artwork. So that fails. And the prof seems like a nicer Kingwell. AND AND Peter Pang is in my class. Only LP people will care about this.

Queer Writing
We are reading Fun House. And watching Derek Jarman movies. And reading Concertina: The Live and Loves of a Dominatrix. SO PUMPED.

Basically, I like all my courses. Except the people in them. Though in this week's tutorial I sat down next to the girl I was having issues with and made forced conversation, which wasn't necessary but I needed to prove I'm the better person. And I am.
Though my schedule is... interesting. I don't start until 12, but that means on wednesday and thursday my hours are class from 12-1 and then 6-9. So I've got a five hour break. Twice. Seems like I'm going to be making a lot of friends at Robarts this year.
And I didn't need to buy 3 of the books I needed this year, except all of my books still cost 380$. And I've still got my other two half courses next term. And one of them is Psych.

selective capitalization

okay so like
I have this goal to see 365 films a year, and I have yet to meet this goal in the three years I've been doing it. But I've had an issue.
Short films.
I feel like they should qualify because they are films, and are important and a lot of them have way more substance than a lot of normal length movies. and it's not like my goal is to see x number of hours of cinema.
BUT AT THE SAME TIME. It's way more impressive that I've seen 365 90min+ movies that 180 full length and a ton of shorts.
So I'm gonna count them seperately I guess.
WHAT WOULD YOU DO.

I also saw 40 short films and a bunch of them were two minutes cause they were made in 1906 and should i count those? I don't know.

this picture is amazing and freaks me out a little

Lately I've been watching Mickey Rooney and Judy Garland musicals, which are horribly cheesy and somewhat overbearing with their pro-Americanism, but are wonderful all the same. It's really weird watching Garland and Rooney though, because for me Rooney is a shriveled old man mocked in The Simpsons, and Garland is a tragic drug addict who's daughter is on Arrested Development. Because I learn about America through it's comedies. Anyways, Rooney can be a little unbearable but Garland is just so beautiful and young that I'm completely captured by her. I had no idea Judy Garland was so beautiful. And I have such massive hair envy, oh my God.
Oh and I got my hair cut on tuesday and the woman cut my bangs too short. I always feel bad that I never do anything with my hair when I see the hairdresser because they'll always ask how often do I straighten it or do I use a blow dryer when the real answer is I only sometimes brush my hair. But I don't want to say that to them because they're hairdressers. Their life is hair. So I smiled and agreed that I often blow dry my hair to straighten it, so she cut my bangs at a length that would be acceptable if I did actually straighten my hair. My hair is sorta wavy (I say sorta because it's never the same one day to the next, some days it's straight, some days it's curly but generally it's wavy and curls at the bottom) so the wave is in my bangs, which makes them too short. My mom told me they're like Judy Garland's bangs. And I was all "but that's my least favourite part of her hair! And she's beautiful do it doesn't matter if her bangs are too short!"
Anyways, I've been watching the Garland/Rooney movies because I want to see all the Busby Berkeley movies in Robarts as part of my plan to make me a more rounded and well watched person and he directed three of them, but now I want to see the rest. Even if the Robarts people think it's gross.
One of them was a movie called Wonder Bar. Holy fuck, Al Jonson in blackface is the most racist thing ever. Like, I knew it was racist, but not that racist. Like just visually racist, not black heaven being filled with trees that grow pork chops and a machine that makes fried chicken racist. Holy fuck. I guess that's why it's not on DVD like the others...

I complain about movies ahead of time so I don't feel like I've completely wasted 11 dollars

The more I hear about Inglorious Bastards the more it sounds like the worst movie ever made. Mike Meyers is in it now? As a Canadian I find everything he does offensive.

And speaking of movies, this one doesn't seem to make any sense. I'm pretty sure it doesn't have anything to do with Will Eisner anymore.

Remember when Frank Miller wasn't insane? Good times.

Lately I've:
    - Been planning what I'm going to take up North. After this weekend I'll be away for two weeks (excluding that day we come back for my exam) so I've been organizing my books and torrenting like mad. There's no internet up there (because we are ROUGHING IT with our washermachine and electricity) so I need to stock up on movies. I'm worried about my computer. Is it too much Abel Ferrara for it?
    - Not been working on my essay, which is due on thursday, which would be a lot wiser to work on. I'm probably not working on it because I really haven't done any work in the past four months, and my first (and last) hardcore essay is just dragging me down. Even though it was on my favourite part of the entire course. I mean, I get to compare David Koresh and Jim Jones. That's like, the best thing ever. I have to explain why their religions failed without saying it was because they went crazy and killed all their members/got them killed. I am so excited. But I don't want to do it. Dang, yo.
    - I've found Querelle of Brest and can finally finish it. It was under my bed. Good thing I vacuumed ~~for once~~.

    So when I went to see Trans-Europ-Express at the Cinematheque, the girl behind me giggled through the entire fucking thing. Like, it's a funny movie and there were some parts that were serious lolz. But not the entire fucking thing. Like, prolonged shots of the face she giggled at. The rapey sex scenes she giggled at. Because, you know, S&M is totally hilarious. Her giggling wasn't loud enough for me to say anything cause it was one of those breathy giggles, but I could still hear it. But when leaving I glared at her and she looked guilty. Fuck yeah, you should. When a girl who's younger that you thinks you're acting like a douche bag, you probably are. I mean, I know I should have moved, but the theatre was mostly packed and I would've had to move to a worse seat. So I had to bear it.
    As much as I love seeing movies in movie theatres, I really hate audiences. I guess what really bothered me was that I was totally pumped to see this movie and this dumb cunt laughed at it. Not that is was THE GREATEST FILM EVER, or even Robbe-Grillet's best, but fuck woman. Have some respect. There are too many stupid people at the Cinematheque. Like that woman during Les Demoiselles de Rochefort who laughed everytime someone burst into song. It's like, are you unaware of what happens in musicals. Because in them, people sing. It's not particuarly novel. I don't know why you're laughing. Especially after the 12th time it's happened.
    I hate people. But I love movies.

    And I totally found out that a picture I love came from the movie. When the scene started happening I was all 'NO WAI THAT'S ON MY FACEBOOK.'

31 L'Eden Et Apres TH (Alain Robbe-Grillet, 1970)

I had gone out for lunch/dinner with a friend before hand and then we went out for tea, so I had way too much caffeine yesterday. So I ended up staying up until 4:30 or so. I'm only ever up that late when I'm with people, and usually while intoxicated. When I'm tired I start thinking about all the terrible things in my life and then get all upset and it makes it even harder to sleep. Last night was a bad night. Though I did highlight some of my notes for the Jonestown/Waco essay. At 3.
Is it cool or lame that I was reading Blood & Guts In High School while waiting for L'Eden Et Apres to start?

the descent of this journal can be documented in my use of lists

Lately I've
- Finished all the books a friend has lent me. I should return them, but the dog chewed up one and I'm worried about returning it. Her granmother gave it to her, and there's an autograph from the illustrator. The autograph is for someone else and her grandmother crossed out the original dedication's name to my friends. The book isn't totalled, but has teeth marks. She's a reasonable girl and she won't be upset, but I'm still worried. I think I'll by my own version and switch the jackets, cause it's the jacket that has the most damage. But only with her consent. I'm not that sneaky.
- Feel like I should rearange my books and movies into three categories: those that I've seen/read, those that I haven't, and those that I don't want anymore but I'm pretty sure my brother and his friends would like them. He's also started reading (he's not a reader, I am, it pains my mother) all thanks to a Mr. King. Now I feel like I need to go out and buy used copies of my favourites of his (the author), for him (my brother). 90% of all used book stores are Stephen King novels anyways.
- Am still not sure about the job (she hasn't made her decision yet and I keep calling and I feel like I'm being needy but I only call, like, a week after she said she would call and didn't).
- Changed my lj background to one I got saw on a fashion blog. I feel bad. Internet theivery makes me :(
- Been watching Terayama's short films on UBU and they astound me. The Woman With Two Heads and The Reading Machine are some of the most beautiful things I've ever seen. I still love Labyrinth Tale the most though. Though it's hard to know whether these are the actual titles, since UBU/GreyLodge has mixed up the order before and I can't reference them on imdb, since half of them aren't there. So hopefully the title does apply to the right film.

I also saw the first ten minutes of From Dusk Till Dawn and have just finished torrenting the rest. This isn't a movie I'd want to see, but the first ten minutes on T.V. were good. Especially the dubbing.
