MOOD: holidayish Let's mark the final harvest and dying of summer. We'll set a place for the dead and divine from apples, nuts and the direction of crows' flight. I'll try to make kornigou. No no- I'm not inviting you over for some Wiccan tomfoolery. There will be no Charmed marathon, no Magick the Gathering; … Continue reading Samhain/Halloween Party
Halloween on Halloween
Monday Night, this Hallows Eve: I'm having a Halloween Party at my place. Come by early if you want to see the kids in the building. Marvin Mutumbo is going as a Power Ranger, Arissa is going as Cinderella and there will probably be a few surprises although Power Rangers are the number one choice … Continue reading Halloween on Halloween

4th of July
For the fourth, my roommate Mischelle generously drove Morten and I across town to Culver City in her new mini. I will never voluntarily ride in one again, I decided, after unfolding myself after exiting the toy and several concussions later. In Culver City, we didn't see much evidence of holiday spirt or even living … Continue reading 4th of July

My Birthday
This past Saturday was my birthday. Last year was the big shindig at the abandoned zoo, this one I wanted to be more low key and spontaneous. So, in the morning, I was weighing my desire to have breakfast at Merkato against Eat Well in Glendale. Eat Well won partly because I don't think Merkato … Continue reading My Birthday

small victories
MOOD: still ill Yesterday, I literally bumped into Cillian Murphy (or his shopping basket, to be precise). He played Jim in 28 Days Later. I played Jim on Halloween. I may've awkwardly put my hand up to the bald patch I had shaved as part of my costume. Ladies (and plenty of fellows)- he's a wee … Continue reading small victories

Thanks for Chicago Mr. James
I had a dream where I was at a party which was attended by an actress from Melrose Place, the son of Godlike Genius Scott Walker, and Jude Law among others. Jude was wearing a chicken wire fashioned into the shape of a quiff which he'd been given by Johnny Lee Miller. The mood of … Continue reading Thanks for Chicago Mr. James

Jody Aloysius Crackstar’s LiveJournal — Best of 2002 June to December
I have to (well- should) come up with the best five releases from the latter half of this year. I'm open to, scratch that, GAGGING for suggestions. Please, no "best ofs", "greatest hits", compilations of any sort, singles, re-issues or anything on my disinterest list, which is remarkably set in stone... for the most part. … Continue reading Jody Aloysius Crackstar’s LiveJournal — Best of 2002 June to December

Dia de los Votos
MOOD: worried The Halloween party was quite a success. A good number of people came and I was inspired to entertain more often. The only person to break anything was me and the carpet looks like there were a couple of spills but I couldn't have been happier. The next day, of course, I took things … Continue reading Dia de los Votos

Halloween Party
MOOD: comme çi comme ça MUSIC: Moose - The Only Man in Town The Halloween party went surprisingly well. I was Robert Smith and, as such, got into character by drinking rather too much wine... among other things. I remember most of it, although there are conversations I had with people who I don't remember … Continue reading Halloween Party

Valentine’s Day Massacre
The day started with a bang. I woke up confused and sad, having dreamt that an ex-girlfriend and I had been married and on our wedding night, she was angry at me and perplexingly locked me outside. I couldn't find the dream analysis book but I think there was some pretty obvious meaning. After a … Continue reading Valentine’s Day Massacre
