Heathers
Friends,
Did you see the movie Heathers?
It's this shitty little teen comedy about teen suicide. Except Winona Ryder and Christian Slater are killing the teens instead of them killing themselves. Quite hilarious, though.
Anyway, Winona's drafting a suicide note after killing one of the Heathers, and argues with Christian about whether the Heather would use the word 'myriad' in the note (oh, I had to do a bit of research, there). Christian says that the Heather would use that word, knowing the Heather got the spelling of that word wrong in class, and so would use it so as to highlight her failure in life, or something along those stupid lines.
On another note, I'm doing the transition thing with this online experiment.
I've written a few drafts for some posts, which I'll contemplate finishing and posting.
I like this first post. It is like me, in that it is pointless.
So I watched a few movies over the weekend. Two of them inspired me to write. The third, Goodbye Lenin, (Thanks Tam; I remember us talking about it while walking to Besos Park) was interesting, and I enjoyed it much, but I don't have anything to say about it. Except maybe a negative comment about the idolisation of film scores.
Oh, and, last time, I was all cryptic in asking you to comment (most of you understood Perth: What is all the fuss about? Please respond, and commented). This time, I'll say it straight: Please respond.
I had in my head a dialogue.
I know, this doesn't make sense. Don't worry, there's no hidden meaning.

I'm happy to see the re-birth / resurrection of advarp. I always enjoyed reading your posts. I'm excited! Goodbye Lenin is a great film. It's amazing, the things you do for the ones you love. I've always been a fan of foreign films, the French and Germans rate highly on my list. Have you seen The Edukators? I think you would like it.
p.s. For the first time since the beginning of advarp, you've left a loud "Please respond" mention in your post. I was excited to see the number of comments were four, and then disenchanted to see that they were all from online advertisers. Bloody hell. I never really understand why people think anyone would be interested in online loans, gambling, viagra and Robopet By Mark Tilden through online junk advertising. Do you?
yay charmaine finally discovered nonymous commenting!
Tell us about Mussle Rock, is a horse in transition. I only know it's some Pavement B-side song?
Mussle Rock is this catchy little number. It follows the song Kris Kraft, which could be in reference to a backwards 'hip-hop' duo of the nineties. The drum track on Mussle is played backwards, giving a wonderful swell of the ride that's most apparent in the denouement (or not really). As with about ten percent of Pavement songs, it is written and sung by Spiral Stairs, aka Scott Kannberg. If you were drunk enough, it would be magnificent to dance to. If you're sober, it's a toe tapper/head nodder. As with all Pavement songs, the lyrics don't mean anything, or I don't pay any attention to what they mean.
The lyrics don't mean anything... I remember someone else saying that too. "...people who listen to my music read too much into my lyrics, I just chose words that sounded nice or had a nice ring to it." -or along those lines...
Who?
Yeah, I did delete that, didn't I. Mike Patton. It was in my post, Peace, Love, Empathy: The Nineties: Part One.
Mike Patton was in a band called Faith No More. The keyboardist of FNM, Roddy Bottum, formed the band Imperial Teen, which was also mentioned in that post.
It might have been that I was thinking about the connections, and so wrote it in, or that I wanted some clever person to pick it up... no, I didn't think anybody who read the site would know.
Good work, Steven, this is what it's about.
To all. I have played around with history, because I am a megalomaniac. I have deleted most, but not all of the junk comments that Charmaine referred to. She refers to one by name, and so I feel obliged to leave that one. Lucky you, Mark Tilden.
Chaz, did they steal your thunder? Did they debase 'anonymous' for you? Are Steve and I revealing too much of you? Doesn't matter, nobody remembers.
Dear martin & schteve,
Hurrah for nonymous commenting! I feel a weight has been lifted off my shoulders, now that I am no longer "anonymous".
Not really. Well, I feel as though what I say now matters more. So, they did not steal my thunder. Also, I didn't want to be confused and associated with the world of Mark Tilden & Co. Charmaine likes advarp enough to be leaving comments she thinks are of some worth to her name.
Perhaps, as a final farewell to anonymous, I will contribute a piece of free advertising myself:
Happy Birthday Schteve!
That is all.
Thanks Charmaine:D But in order to maximise capital gain through free advertising you need to promote yourself a bit more profusely but inconspicuously...
