Lately David Lynch

Okay, since nobody's bothered posting anything, I'm gonna post some more. Let's see how ya like that--remember, you made me do it!

Friday
So, Rusty picked me up that afternoon and we headed on up to Hernando, MS. We stopped at a McDonalds and spent a ridiculous amount of time waiting in the drive-thru. Made us reminisce about the Hattiesburg Taco Bell drive-thru. We listened to some Weezer and Rusty's home-made soundtrack album of songs from Sifl and Olly. (Songs recorded from the actual show and burned onto CD by Rusty, not one of those crazy things where Rusty entirely re-does a whole album himself, BTW.)

When we got to Danny's house, we all had chili dawgs and Halloween candy and goofed off until it was time to go to the movie. (Just me, Rusty, and Tommy) Rusty got the directions off of Mapquest, which insisted we take a slightly less direct route than necessary for some goofy reason. Mulholland Drive was very good. The audience wasn't. There were some moments similar to our experience when we saw A.I., where there were cell phones going off and people who laughed at things that weren't funny.

We got back to Danny's house and went to bed, but stayed up talking. We ended up figuring out stuff like time travel and the nature of God.

Saturday
I drew a picture of a LunchBot saying "ROCK!" for Tommy on the ammo box he uses for his rock accessories. Then I drew a picture on there of Optimus Prime saying "You've got the touch!" (which, for those who aren't aware, was Optimus's crappy theme song from the Transformers movie long before Marky Mark tried singing it in Boogie Nights). Tommy seemed very pleased with it.

Rusty and I discovered the wonderful Mary Kate and Ashley Olsen cartoon. They're secret agents saving the world from fashion-related crimes against humanity, and have extreme sports clothing-wearing guy friends and a talking Scottish terrier with--get this--a Scottish accent! And they teach us about math!

The trucks were loaded up and we left in our great big convoy to the big festival Lately David was playing at. I rode with Rusty again. We took the exit to Pope, MS, (just outside of Nowheresville) and drove down the road, which soon became a gravel road. Then it turned into a dirt road, and soon the convoy stopped and we all turned around. Nobody told us why. Were we giving up and going back home? Stopping for something to eat first? More weird Mapquest directions? The suspense was hanging heavy in the air.

Then we took some other route into the backwoods (I guess Stephanie and Danny had gotten us lost that first time). We eventually got to the "festival," which was, well... modest in size, to say the least. (I think that "backyard, woods, less than a dozen people and big flagpole with tattered Confederate flag" should paint an aaccurate enough picture of the place for you.) Lately David didn't care, however and proceeded to rock, despite the fact that just about all their audience except for me and Rusty (he was videotaping, I was photographing) stayed way off to the side of the stage near the bonfire keeping warm. Tommy was possessed by the spirit of rock toward the end as usual, and threw one of his basses off the stage.

Afterwards, Tommy, Rusty, and I all went back to Jackson, and we all lived happily ever after. The end.

Sunday
I watched the Invader Zim Halloween special (re-airing at a special time on Halloween at 8pm ET/7 CT on Nick) that I'd taped while we were away. I love this series. Sick, twisted, funny, and probably the only Nicktoon you'll ever see with H.P. Lovecraft references.

Talked on the phone a while with the lovely Amanda that I have blogged on about here before, who is coming into town this weekend, yay!

Watched Adult Swim. Home Movies has really grown on me in the same way that Dr. Katz did. Not surprising, since it's pretty much the same show.

Monday
Mondays suck. Except for new epsiodes of Angel.

Tuesday
Watched Buffy (reminder to self: talk to Rusty and/or Liza about borrowing/copying/exchange of Buffy & Angel tapes), then went with Tommy to try to find the CD shelves he wants. Didn't find those, but he ended up getting some CDs (big surprise) and I got another Gundam action figure (big surprise).

Stayed up late and wrote some in Rusty's Blog. In fact, I'm writing in it at this very moment!!! Scary, huh?

HAPPY HALLOWEEN
