Oh, and just a quick note to all those parents out there who refuse to let their kids play video games or watch mainstream tv or eat anything other than jicama on a stick. I got a little secret for you: Your kids are getting their Twinkie fixes, their South Park fixes — AND THEIR VIOLENT, FIRST-PERSON SHOOTER VIDEO GAME FIXES — at their friends’ houses. Yes…YOUR KID, TOO.
ESPECIALLY YOUR KID.
Congratulations. You’ve made it all shiny and alluring for them by locking it away.
BELIEVE IT.
My last word on Courtney Love: I guess I am just done with the sad, pathetic trainwreck and am being selfish and petulant because I want the old Courtney back, goddamnit — the one who wrote FIERCE, BRILLIANT, INTELLIGENT music and screamed it at us with one leg cocked up on a speaker and one tit hangin’ out FOR ALL THE WORLD TO SUCK.
I’m getting TONS of work done on a screenplay I’m writing, but I’m also feeling sort of baggied-out and sketchy. I’m going to pour myself one more, but trust me…I need another cup of coffee like Kate Gosselin needs her pussy stretched.
Lord, this guy was a TOP-SHELF PIECE OF ASS IN HIS DAY. Too bad he’s now COMPLETELY OUT OF HIS GODDAMNED MIND — as well as looking like he got eaten by a wolf and shit directly off a cliff. But, boy…he WAS beautiful, wasn’t he?
“I’m the last bitch standing.” — Courtney Love
Vacuous Muff Fact #964: If you were to stop me on the street and ask me to open my bag, inside you would find a copy of my favorite play of all time, “The Man Who Came To Dinner” by George Kaufman and Moss Hart. I played the part of Maggie Cutler in college, and it is a huge inspiration to me writing-wise, as well — I am never, ever without it. Whenever I am in need of a shove — or even some breadcrumbs tossed along the path to guide me — I just open it up and I am HOME.
“Nonviolence means avoiding not only external physical violence but also internal violence of spirit. You not only refuse to shoot a man, but you refuse to hate him.” — Martin Luther King, Jr.
We did it with Miss Betty White…and now we need to do it with a woman who is one of the greatest comedic inspirations of my life — Miss Carol Burnett! As an oddball kid growing up in Fresno, California, I never ever missed her show. Along with Madeline Kahn, Cloris Leachman, Gilda Radner, Bea Arthur, and Phyllis Diller, she was one of the performers who taught me that women could ABSOLUTELY be as funny and outrageous as men…and that by being smart and ambitious, we could create our own destinies, as well.
As many times as I’ve seen it — surely somewhere in the hundreds — I never, ever tire of watching this movie. In fact, it is in my top five favorite movies of all time.
This is the VERY ESSENCE OF ON TRACK.
Can I tell you just how fucking surreal it was to be thumbing through various youtube music videos…and to suddenly and out of nowhere see my husband, Gregory, as a very young and cute college student, leaning over a studio soundboard enthusiastically discussing recording ideas with an equally young and cute Kurdt Cobain? VERY SURREAL. Their bands often shared the bill at shows all around the Pacific Northwest and one of the songs Gregory produced and recorded for them (“Dive”) would later be included on their historic “With The Lights Out” boxed set.
He doesn’t talk about it much, but I do know this: He misses his old friend very much and wishes that there had been more time.
Look for them at 1:35.
