last night steve k came into my work and said, in his manic steve k bouncy way, DO YOU WANT TO SEE DONNIE DARKO TONIGHT!!
and i answered in like, because the steve k. syndrome is contagious, YES I DO, MY BOYFRIEND DOES TOO!!
so we LOOKED AT MAPS ON HOW TO GET THERE!! and steve BOUNCED AROUND THE ROOM AND WAS ENTHUSIASTIC!!
but we didn't meet up, anyway i'm sure he'll be around sunday, i think i remember picking "MEET UP SUNDAY!!" out of something he was saying but i can't be completely sure it had to do with me at all.
steve k is like that. he's big with rounded shoulders and eyes with constant exclamation points in them and he paces like a deranged football jock, only he's metal. and his band is his persona in even-louder form.

and let me tell you, while i painted small congruent boxes peter cleaned his theatre and then we left. he parked 1/2 inch from a red car's bumper and kurt came out of the crowd with arms open like a big italian mother with puckered red lips, only he looks more like ray romano.
infact kurt looks so much like ray romano that when donnie darko sold out and we went to his house to watch velvet goldmine and sort through discounted organic non-perishables, i called him ray! i did call him that while he was being his usual kurt-self which isn't unlike the man ray (heh man ray) himself. and peter let me lay my head on his lap and it was c-o-m-f-y and his hands are SOSOFT!! but kurt has these fifties office chairs and couch which is the antithesis of soft so i left with a flat shoulder and LOTS OF NON-PERISHABLES INCLUDING PLANTAINS WHICH MADE ME THROW UP JUST A HALF-HOUR AGO!!
i forgot kurt's cds. but i'm having a hard time not listening to them every waking moment myself.

my two books are at border's ready for pickup. peter's muffler fell off. like FELL OFF, as in he held it in his hand in the kitchen and i didn't even notice because his face was cold and he smelled like outside-cold smells.

i'm not bitter anymore and I DON'T KNOW HOW TO BE INTERESTING WHEN I'M NOT BITTER!.
okay. i'll stop being steve for the rest of this entry.
i will list one of the cds i made for kurt:
