i miss comment titles!

was totally gonna do "i'm bringing comments back!" in outdated reference to jt.

also i just realized that timbaland and justin timberlake have missed a golden opportunity to call one of their collaborations lake/land or land and lake or something of that nature.

i love the old car and gun caption. desert noir is a subgenre we should work to bring back.

[bob_le_flambeur]

me too! wasn't there some way you could still do them? i am clueless!

lake/land would have been pretty great. sounds like a brian eno album.

i wish i knew a single desert noir movie. maybe detour?

[bad_juice]

psycho sorta!

i still haven't seen detour. also a lot of modern noirs take place in the desert: red rock west, breaking bad, uhhh, some others i am forgetting that i remembered when i first typed the comment. it's a great idea, though.

lake/land totally does sound like an eno album.

[bob_le_flambeur]

haha, should have thought of breaking bad. i love the way they use the new mexico landscape.

did u know about this? http://www.flickr.com/photos/24869473@N02/sets/72157623732482564/

lady travels to all the BB locations and takes a pic of them. it's pretty awesome.

Ilya! Do you live in Jersey now too?

Also, congrats on your Vegas win!

[bob_le_flambeur]

dani! no, i'm still in munich right now. but planning on moving to the states once i finish my studies sometime next year!

thanks a bunch, it was pretty grand! how've you been?

[danithesquirrel]

Any idea where you might move?

I'm good. The kid keeps me busy and at the edge of sanity. : )

[bob_le_flambeur]

well, basil is trying to get everyone to move to portland. i heard even reuben might be coming. so that's always a pretty cool option.

my gf is american so my plan is to someday marry her for the sweet, sweet citizenship and then both of us move somewhere where it is sunny always (that's what she would like). preferably somewhere close to and/or in vegas!

how old is your kid now?

[glazomaniac]

it is jarring to see my name in such an unadulterated form.

[bob_le_flambeur]

haha, yeah writing Billy TheRuiner just felt...wrong?

[glazomaniac]

that's fair!

i don't understand mountains, either.

[bob_le_flambeur]

i only understand

these

[apresminuit]

the grand canyons always look kind of fake!

[bob_le_flambeur]

i was worried the overexposure of that place on tv/film and whatnot would make going there feel kinda stale, but it turned out to be too much to handle!

also hey karin, good to see ya again! how have you been?

[apresminuit]

hi hi hi!!! i am pretty good, same old same old. it is nice to see you here again!

[luckyhoss]

Holy cow, all this news and these photos and all! Not to mention, one of a few totally quality awesome lj entries right in a row on my friends page!

I have never been to the southwestern part of the US. I sure would like to see the Grand Canyon some day, and to visit Las Vegas. Looks like you had a pretty rad experience.

[bob_le_flambeur]

woo, hey kelly! yeah, i was wondering what it would feel like to post here again and it's pretty great!

trip was totally awesome. i was expecting to love Vegas (though not quite as much as I did) & Grand Canyon, but didn't think Arizona would impress me as much. it was really beautiful!

also me & my mom stopped at another gas station on the drive back and it was like 4 in the morning and this lady was at the register and when we left i had a smoke outside and peeked through the window and could see her dancing by herself to Patsy Cline's "Leavin' On Your Mind" inside. it was a pretty cool moment and made me love the place even more!

[luckyhoss]

If I saw that, I would just die. Right then and there. That's beautiful.
