hating christmas is so cliche sean, don't hate christmas. It is almost worse than those fucks that have "keep christ in christmas" bumper stickers.

My temperature peaked at 102 degress yesterday, and I've been having really lucid fever dreams. Hallucinations are next, so if I post any of the following today, please note that they are untrue

1) Sheena from Lemuria did not in fact give me a rusty trombone while singing "I'm not your twin/I'm just the amputee" over and over

2) The Phillies did not win the World Series due to a stash of Martian rayguns

3) I did not have a shit that looks exactly like the Rosetta stone

4) Joe Strummer is not hanging out with Tupac in Are 51

5) My penis is not in fact registered as a concealed weapon

This is making me laugh about as hard as BK does on BSC. Kudos to you, good sir. And get well soon.

I hope so. It hurts to swallow and that really puts a crimp in my weekend plans.

She's more talented than I thought if she can do that and you can still understand the lyrics.

I'm just obsessed with that song.

baldsteve (December 18, 2008)

Its a good one. At least she wasn't singing something creepy. If the words to Halloween II were coming out of her mouth you might be dying.

Every time I get a fever, I hallucinate too, and the absolute weirdest shit so I believe all of those fever dreams. I'm usually scared shitless.

MattRamone (December 18, 2008)

Normally when I hallucinate I get visited by Frank Sintra, who talks to me about women and ramen.

Report

SloaneDaley (December 18, 2008)

I'd probably just get women made of ramen but the more I think about I'm not sure whether that would scare me or make me yell "fuck yes!".

have either of you read Philip Roth's The Ghostwriter by any chance?

Report

baldsteve (December 18, 2008)

No, should I?

Report

SloaneDaley (December 18, 2008)

Roth is a pretty funny dude and in that one it is about this young jewish author that goes to stay with his literary forefather and meets this girl he starts to fiction her as being Anne Frank secretly escaped the Holocaust.

wow. I don't know if being that sick is awesome or shitty now...did you smoke a joint too?

I haven't smoked since the day before I got sick.

that was a pretty animated reading, kudos La Dispute. I had to recite this poem in my second grade christmas pageant and I had finger puppets and everything.

No, I had the chance to see that for Free, but I chose to go see 'Let the Right One In' and pay instead.

I have a strange obsession with any movie involving catholics or nazis.

baldsteve (December 18, 2008)

Me too. I just didn't thing I would ever get to see the other one.

what is this Let the Right One In?

Report

baldsteve (December 18, 2008)

Swedish Vampire movie that most people that see it misunderstand. Its not a love story, its a vampire basically choosing its new 'renfield'. I loved it

SloaneDaley (December 18, 2008)

I couldn't seem to find much on it on the internet, it sounds rather interesting. thanks for the heads up.

Trailer is on youtube. I really thought it was great.

No. I am no Meryl Streep fan but Philip Seymour Hoffman is ussually pretty brilliant.
