Or, as I put it in a text message the other day, "Some days it feels like life is fucking you in the ass with a lawn dart."
Just for a kick, let's do an old-timey blog entry intro, fashioned after the delightfully obsolete livejournal.com
Current Music: 'Moya' by Godspeed You! Black Emperor.
Mood: Hide the razor blades.
Or to put it another way: I was at a rock show last night with a friend of mine from my former company Maverick Wines, who's one of the more misanthropic and morose people I know. He couched it perfectly:
"I don't love anything. There are just some things in life that I hate marginally less than everything else."
Bingo.
Some things I hate marginally less than others:
Achewood
M83
Vittorio Zecchin
Wallace Stevens's The Idea of Order at Key West
The Cocteau Twins' 'Lorelei'
Aphex Twin's video for 'Windowlicker'
Barolos from Giuseppe Mascarello and Giacomo Conterno
Burgundy from Jacques-Frederic Mugnier and Armand Rousseau
Riesling from Robert Weil and F.X. Pichler
The schmaltz and sentimentality of Nuovo Cinema Paradiso
The spare brutality of Le Samourai
The Foie Dog and Duck Fat French Fries at Hot Doug's
See now, I feel better already! And I've only just started...
