some times you wanna go to a barber shop and get a straight-razor shave, so you do
i feel like i look really goofy and baby-faced without facial hair (…because i do) but it was well worth it
thanks Carl Suggs
oh, how i do love goodies in the mail
sure, these things arent news, but i have never owned physical copies of either album, and i quote billy madison:
nah but really i love goodies in the mail and shit. thanks for always having good specials and shit online, earache records.
in other news, today turned out to be not so bad after all, and this is the worst segue you have read today.
i woke up at 5, disgruntled and bitchy after having not worked all last week, expecting to face another day full of working with a moron and doing jobs i hate (especially that early and especially the nature of the jobs themselves). however, today went surprisingly smooth, and when i finally got back to the office my driver and i heard the news that literally all of those bullshit early jobs are over with for the summer. ALSO, and most importantly, i recieved my paycheck for last week. i expected it to be very, very low (considering that i worked about 20 hours or so). my paycheck turned out to be for 30 hours, showing me that perhaps my hard work and all of the shit i have to put up with is actually appreciated. i was taken aback, and i am so unbelievably grateful (especially because i really need this money right now, even if its not a regular paycheck).
i know for a fact that i will never, ever find another boss or company to work for where i will be able to stay off for nearly an entire week (sick or not) and still get paid for it. i know that i will never, ever find another group of people and company where i feel like i am part of a family. i may not make the money that i think i deserve or as much as i wish i did, i may have talents far greater (that i am unfortunately not using) than so many people i work with, i may have knowledge and intelligence far greater than so many people i work with, i may not be using those talents or intelligence to my advantage and making a career out of something i want to do, and i may not be in the position i necessarily want to be in…but it is imperative that i remember to be grateful every single day. things could be so much better, but they could also be so…so…so much worse. i AM sincerely appreciative of life and actually having a job…but keeping myself convinced of it and in a positive mood is so very difficult because i am so very stupid.
goodies in the mail. surprises in my paycheck. these little things encourage me to be grateful and count my blessings. now i plan to buy a pizza with that hard-earned dollar i make.

i desire to go to tunisia all of the sudden
FUCK YES
THESE T SHIRTS CAME IN THE MAIL TODAY, WHICH WAS TOTALLY FASTER THAN I EXPECTED
(oops, blurry…oh well!)
now, dont get me wrong, i am extremely pleased right now…but i am stupid. i was totally under the impression that i was getting used t-shirts…which is all fine and dandy, and i bid on what i bid on…but upon opening the first t-shirt (whichever one it was), i was quick to find that these are all re-prints or whatever you want to call it, most likely from an amateur shop or someones house or something of the like. however, i just dont care because i am now in possession (no pun intended) of three new, bad ass t-shirts that i have wanted for a long time. not to mention, i just adore goodies in the mail.

Marcel Vercoutere, the man behind the ground-breaking special effects in The Exorcist, has passed away at age 87.
Long before the use of CGI, Marcel had the challenge of bringing the visual effects required for The Exorcist to life - right in front of the camera. From shaking beds, demonic convulsions, and levitation; to the icy-cold atmosphere of Regan’s bedroom and shooting Jason Miller in the face with pea soup. There was no task too big or too small that Marcel wouldn’t tackle head-on, assisting in creating some of the most memorable and frightening scenes of all time.
Marcel was also responsible for the unforgettable head-spinning dummy double of Linda Blair which he built alongside make-up artist Dick Smith, and often recalled fond memories of the pair testing it out on unsuspecting victims whilst driving around New York City in a rented taxi.
“Whenever we pulled up to a red light, we’d wait until people looked and then I would start to turn the head. I’d take it all the way around and it would freak ‘em out, and the cab driver was laughing his head off. The cab driver wanted to do it all day. I mean, when is he gonna get another chance to do that? Drive around and have someone’s head spin around in the front seat!”
The LA Times report Marcel died on April 13 at his home in Burbank, due to complications with dementia. Our thoughts are with his family and friends during this difficult time, and may he rest in peace.
