If you still lived in California, you could go to the estate sale next week of Tim Burton and Lisa Marie’s old stuff.

Man, I bet there will be some cool shit there.

I’m always so intrigued by autism, but I don’t know much about it. I just think those kids are soo cool. But, I never hear about little autistic girls. It’s always “my nephew is autistic” or “my friend’s son is autistic”. Is it a male-dominated disease?

I’ll have to do a research project tomorrow….

It’s been a long time coming, Martin, but here’s that Cure mix we talked about oh so long ago. I figured with the gloomy weather today, and your entries as of late, that it was about time.

For those of you who don’t know Martin, this is a boy crazy for love and heartache. I’d say he revels in it. So I’ve selected for him some of my favorite mopey Cure love songs. They’re so great, they make me long for depression. :-)

If you’d like to download them to your crappy iTunes, but don’t know how, just let me know.

1. Fascination Street*
2. Open
3. Sinking
4. Kyoto Song
5. From The Edge Of The Deep Green Sea
6. Prayers For Rain
7. If Only Tonight We Could Sleep
8. Last Dance
9. The Same Deep Water As You
10. Apart
11. The Kiss
12. Disintegration
13. To Wish Impossible Things
14. Homesick
15. End
16. Trust

* - from my favourite Carlos D interview, “Simon Gallup is my sort of punk rock, playing with the pick and digging into the low E string, really chugging away. ‘Fascination Street’ is a good example of that. It’s one of the most badass basslines ever written.”

ps - I realised today that I can’t listen to the Cure very well through headphones. I need to be able to sing along at the top of my lungs. This has been tough.

Weird.

Jared has diagnosed me as obsessive compulsive.

How can Ilyssa not see the resemblance between Gary Oldman and Sam Rockwell?

Sam is like a younger (10 years), American version of Gary. And he’s just as sexy. In fact, seeing the two of them together like this is almost too much for me to bear.

*** plus, Sam’s a Scorpio! ***
