i did not know what kind of bird it was

so i think the bird that smiled at me the other day was a european starling? it took me a while to figure that out.

it smiled as i walked past it. and

computer advice

do not use force quit/cancel-force quit to manipulate your computer- i am pretty sure i broke mine today.

subtle movie

i saw diary of chambermaid tonight and want to list the bunuel movies i have seen so i don't sound like an idiot for liking diary of a chambermaid so much.

the young one: terrible. ridiculous
belle du jour: don't like it much. this movie is a joke perpetrated upon the bourgeosie.
the milky way: about catholic heresies, deliciously confusing.
that obscure object of desire: this is "that movie" where two actress play the same character, alternating throughout the entire film. sorta cheesy. (reminds me of how nicholson baker's the mezzanine is "that book" where the entire narrative takes place in someone's mind during one escalator ride.)
diary of a chambermaid: totally awesome.

and i HAVE seen the discrete charm of the bourgeosie but it was a really long time ago. et cetera. olsson's books/records/dvds has started renting movies, which is so awesome. besides renting chambermaid, diary of a, i bought personal days and the tracy chevalier book about william blake. i love TC - the girl with the pearl earring and the lady and the unicorn rock my world, embarrassingly enough. also, she attended the same high school and college as me.

i hope this blog becomes a little more literary as i can't think of anything else to do with my life except attempting to write like books and stuff, at the moment. this is a good place to keep track of "literary stuff" since for a former writing major i don't know squat about publishing. come along with me as i try to get abreast of things. :)

stockholm syndrome (the song)

this isn't actually about stockholm syndrome.

i had a dream that took place in new jersey the other night though. it was a bad neighborhood, there was a shootout, i hit the deck, the bullets just missed me.

no one cares.

i did something stupid, when my firefox is acting up but force quit doesn't say it is, you can fake it out by force quitting then when it asks you if you're sure you say no, it stops thinking. but it messed up my browser window or something. DON'T DO IT

thin whale

i was just reading the craigslist personal ads and thinking how everyone sounds *psycho* on them. then i looked at "the pony problem" and my own writing is just as incoherent and creepy.

LA

hi i am listening to the impossibly cool sonng LA by the impossibly cool band "the fall". all the beautiful flowers fell off the tree outside my window and tender green leaves are there. hopefully i am going to buy some cool boox at barnes and nobles in bethesda and maybe like some expensive body unguents at aveda herbal essences. was watching the wood a movie i have always wanted see and inhabit. hung out with mikey nite (cool transliteration) of the tenlietown nites and was grumpie and my legs almost fell off because i am inbred-giraffe-like most of the time.
i wanted to transcribe this time once in high school to show how nerdy my friends were back then. okay it was the last day of summer before like, 8th grade or maybe 9th grade fuck it i don't remember. we went to see "wagons east" the world's worst movie. perhaps rob schnieder is in it. it is possibly a rob schnieder western. anyway we get there when it's already preview starting and it turns out the people in front of us are these boys from school in our grade. one of them was this weasely cool guy named jed. i don't really mean to call him weasely. he was a little sleazily and weazily and tanned and very skinny and pretty silly. i don't know where he is these days. anyway he turned around and started fucking with us and was like "hey girls. i dropped my knife? would you mind searching under my [movie theater] seat for it?" i mean duh, i am from bethesda chevy chase obviously there is not reason for this person to own a knife. so i like begin to sneer at him and on either side of me my two friends bend down and start waving their hands under his seat. ew gross movie theather! also wtf? so gullible. this is how dorky my friends were. i deserve slave reparations. why am i telling this story? "i dropped my knife". yeah einstein.
i miss you guys.

boring boring boring boring.

a weave

I just realized that the "blanket apology post" i wrote last week isn't nearly strong enough to express what I TRULY mean. OVER a rather long period of time, I am really sorry for being such a nutty psycho, everyone. I could write a more thorough explanation, obviously, but that would be a little too revealing for a blog. But I awk-nowledge to everyone that I am sorry for being so unpleasant. Sometimes people overcompensate for things weirdly and it gets out of hand. So yeah. Hello, yes. I have really bad hair if it makes anyone feel better (I know that it doesn't).

huh?

Um, OOPS, I didn't mean to move home again. AGAIN? People do crazy things when they are depressed, crazier than the things I've done, I swear. Just read Noonday Demon by William Solomon. This is a blanket apology blog posting.

chris eigmann or eigenmann

Hello, I am in Chevy Chase and watching one of the cutest Gilmore Girls ever.

the strokes?

ok, this post about the strokes being my favorite band, indeed, at the time they were, but that is kind of scary, i think we can agree.

what?

yeah, it's a good thing i don't have that job anymore, it wasn't really a very good job for crazy manic rebecca to have, or anyone for that matter.

atonement

yeah, i am glad that i was sick, it helped the craziness go away.

yeah like i am able to tell if a movie or book is "good" or not. christ.

i want to insult "the educated" mostly right now. so, you're smart, are you? well, you could easily have been born into a dumb family. also, the people you think are dumb are the people who like hate you. be kind to them. teach them embroidery floss or whatever. then they will love you forever.

cheeztastic.

teach them all your skills. oh yes. god's skills.
