My first day cleaning res. . .
. . .w as not bad while bearing in mind the $12.54/hour wage. (I'm going to trim my life over the last while down). There was this incredibly cute Chinese girl there today. That was sweet. What wasn't sweet was the she goes back to China for the summer on Sunday. She was so fucking cute, man. Aaarrrrgh!
I saw Sin City last night. Definitely the most violent movie I have ever seen. And yet it was beautiful. It isn't just a screen adaptation of a comic's story/characters/etc. It was an adaptation of the comic ('scuse me, "Graphic novel") down to its feel, its visuals, whatever. It felt like a comic. With movement. It left a queasy feeling in me, but was still one of the best-done films that I have seen in a long time.
So I started to listen to a copy of my brother's Hawksley Workman CD. That guy's music is like crack. Seriously. I listened to it twice, and could not get those songs out of my head. It's very pop-rock, but in a more intelligent way than most. More indy. But very catchy and melody-driven. And funny in a "Midnite Vultures" kind of way. The album pens up with the line "Fuck you, you're drunk", with no instrumental lead in, and begins on-beat. And funny lines like "I wish the telephone had not been invented. . . cuz I keep picking it up to say stupid things to you." Good.
