The chapter heading of my life at this point is "MATURITY: DO NOT WANT"

All I'm saying is that the universe needs to realize that although I am quite willing to make a stab at coordinating projects involving sizeable numbers of people when necessary and appropriate, it is by no means something I am naturally good at; my natural state is being late for things due to inexplicable procrastination and misplacedly hopeful scheduling.** And no this is not (just) about SSBB, this is pretty much all fronts right now. XD;; There's a fine line between "stretching for the sake of personal growth" and "knowing when to leave well enough alone", the problem is when the world won't allow you not to cross it.

Laptop update: 86 pages of people with the same issue, LOL! It would be nice if Dell could inform their tech support so they can actually do their jobs, as no one we talked to had a clue and all of them can't be commission-hungry Oscar-calibre actors. My sister fried her video card as well, only hers isn't under warranty anymore - and mine is still running too hot. Think I'll go back to taking notes on paper during class.

Wish I were writing but need to work on aforementioned organizational issues instead. Struggling not to delete this entry now that I've written it as is only a litany of complaints innit. XD;


** The REAL real truth: the reason I like Peter Doherty (besides the music) is because he sucks even worse than I do in this respect, to a degree that is bizarrely inspirational. Kind of like how gay men are into Judy Garland. And no, it's not fundamentally due to the drugs; I can recognize the actions of a kindred spirit, more's the pity.

Having gotten that off my chest, the rest of the gig reviews

( Adam Green, Le Studio (Just For Laughs Museum), June 6. Cut for length. )

Adam Green - Baby's Gonna Die Tonight: I've been trying to figure out why I know this song so well before ever consciously hearing it. Was it used in a movie? Did someone put it in a FST? Was it on the actual radio? Adam Green does creepy psycho surprisingly well; something to do with the way one can't tell if he means what he's singing or if he's just happily stoned.

Adam Green - Friends of Mine: whereas this is merely ridiculously catchy (violins!). It's fun to sing and makes complete sense if you think of it as being Godard. XD My first choice if I had to make a FST for Pierrot Le Fou.

Adam Green - Bungee: there was this incident during the encore, right, when everyone was shouting requests and Adam Green was like okay I'll do "Carolina", and this one dude (who looked about eighteen) was like no no nonoNONOFUCKNO! Sing "Bungee"! That's an awesome song! So then Adam's like, I'll sing it solo, and the guy's like NO! WITH THE FULL BAND! IF YOU STILL REMEMBER HOW TO PLAY IT! WHICH YOU SHOULD! EVEN I CAN PLAY IT AND I SUCK! IT'S SIMPLE!

Upon which Adam got him onstage to play it - and he promptly effed it up, so Adam went >_> and showed him how. Then sang it to crazy fanboy's guitar accompaniment + rest of band. And it was awesome! Happi endo♥(!?) ...Actually there is a postscript, namely that when sororial unit and I were walking down the Main afterward whom should we cross but selfsame fanboy and friend, lugging a case of 24 back to the venue where all the hipster girls were smoking out front. So idk, maybe lower Saint-Laurent saw a party that night. I'm going to stop making fun now because they'll find me off the Libertines LJ forums or something.

Personally I bought the poetry book, following my principle of buying whichever merchandise item is oddest as long as it's not obviously overpriced. It's surprisingly good! ...I don't know why I always expect people's poetry to be bad. XD; More sensible than expecting them to be good? Though the contents aren't so much poems as pillow-book musings in ADD one-liner stylee. Would make good prompts for 31_days.

The most important story ever forgotten

To my parents - I inherited every piece of your cowardice

My bird against your nest

And so on.
