i got the news today oh boy…
well, actually it was last weekend but still…
my landlord writes me with fantastic news: he has been given a job in France! back in austin, however, this is grave information. his relocation means the selling of 304 Moore Blvd, and quite possibility the termination of my lease. you see, there’s a fairly good chance that the new owner will either want to a.) occupy the entire upstairs portion of the house or b.) raise my rent significantly.
so sue me i’m depressed.
but it answers the age old question that a friend of mine often poses: is it better to love someone even if your time with them would end in a known finite amount of time, or is it better to not have known that person at all?
my love is my apartment, and it has nurtured me tenderly this past year.
one might even say that my apartment lifted me up to where i belong.
and from that great height i shall never fall.
so fuckin’-a it’s better to have loved and lost!
life goes on.
for me that meant going to the movies in search of a title to parallel my life. so i saw “intolerable cruelty”, the latest from the never disappointing Coen Bros who managed to succeed in creating a cynical romantic comedy. the lovely catherine zeta-jones plays a gold-digger whose made a career for herself by marrying rich men and taking all their money. george clooney plays a divorce lawyer so you can see how they probably met. anyway, they have this love-hate relationship through the whole movie, and eventually both get their “asses nailed”. if you liked “Hudsucker Proxy”, you’ll probably like this — but don’t expect the sophisticated humour of “The Big Lebowski”. then again, maybe it’s there and i just missed it. whatever. 3.5 stars.
i finally got around to doing some necessary maintainance on the vino — changed the transmission oil… filled up the 2-stroke oil… filled the tires. i really really want to buy a motorcycle but i think i need to JAZZ up the vino first. to dos:
-get a manual
-bigger tires: Michilin S1s or Sava Whitewalls
-stage 1 performance upgrade
-a cool ass artsy fartsy paint/airbrush job — a.) to cover up some scratches, and b.) cuz it’d be freakin’ cool man!!
i get to see lubbock, tx in a couple weeks. ye-haw.
