Pick it up and drop it.

I'll enjoy this while it lasts! Here are the things I want to work on every day that's left of my summer vacation:

- New obscene dance moves courtesy of Shawna. Anyone who thinks pussy popping is easy should try it and be humbled. And its not just meaningless vulgarity, either! Its a lot like belly dancing - its not coquettish or evasive, it is a mesmerizing assertion of your flesh and sexuality in space. So much fun! I know many people would be completely disgusted by this uncensored Ludacris video which absolutely qualifies as soft core porn. There's plenty that's annoying about it, but what stands out in my mind is how hard those ladies must have worked for those moves. I enjoy seeing sex workers' skills being appreciated and celebrated, too. These are basically yoginis and I am working to be like them. Shawna said if I practice every day for a few months I'll get it down. omg what if I could do it in a headstand?!

- Working on songs. The repertoire is expanding slowly and with any luck I will grow out of my habit of strumming only with my thumb. I am excited because my mom got a piano yesterday and I've been trying to figure out People Ain't No Good and Into My Arms.

- Reading in the sunshine. Had to renew Infinite Jest today.

- Seeing friends before I move. This project is going passable well.

That's really it for things I want to do every day. There are other things that are on my To Do Summer '09 list - at the top: bike path with Zoe.

This is not intended to back up my nay saying.

How can you like that popping? I can see pop corn down the road you are going. Well, vegetables invented s e x well before animals and they still offer the best non-motorized toys besides being fully biodegradable and naturally scented and never tested on animals (not sure though).

Have you listened to Grinderman? To see what happens when Nick picks up the electric guitar for the first time?

whoa, thanks for the tip off. he seems to be enjoying himself and his voice is well suited to punk music. right now i am listening to "honey bee let's fly to mars" and realizing that if i was in the audience i would be nonverbal with enjoyment. i watched part of a documentary about leonard cohen recently and they had nick cave singing "i'm your man" and it really didn't sound good. i was surprised because i would have picked that song for him to sing, too. i bet he'd be better at famous blue raincoat.
anyway, i went out dancing til 2am last night and practiced my booty popping moves and it was the best ever! thanks for appreciating the vegetables, though!
