Is this me from another universe?

This is Andrew Mukamal, Kelly Cutrone’s assistant from the show Kell On Earth. As Andrea pointed out, we kind of look a lot alike. I mean, he’s a lot skinner and gayer than I am, but beside that, yeah. We like a lot of the same labels, too. Like I wouldn’t rock Dick Owens boots, but I would wear one of his fencing jackets or something. I would go out in a Prada cape if I had one. Props to Andrea for monitoring basic cable and discovering the resemblance.

For reference, this is me from a while back when I was thinner and had longer hair.

This ‘n this

I’ve been going to the gym (I am gonna look SO CUTE for the spring prom) and afterwards, every time, I really want a cigarette. The depressing thing about the gym is seemingly little dudes who sidle up next to you when you’re chosing hand weights and one-up you by thirty pounds.

So this morning I read Andreaa’s new blog entry on memory and babysitting, and I assembled the knowledge that I have been in the position she describes a potential for her client/Baby – forgetting the babysitter. My first babysitter, Hilary Harp, became a sculptor who

[is] interested in creating objects and installations that explore the anxiety and absurdity of human embodiment. [ref.]

I don’t remember Hilary at all, but maybe we influenced each other. After all, I was an anxious kid, and twenty years on, the protagonist of my novel is named Hilary.

Maid or personal assistant?

Let’s see what the web thinks.

Halloween 2005; have you seen our masks?

This is me

and here’s George as a member of Kraftwerk on his way to a Halloween party

aaaaand John as the Scarecrow:

now I’m going to listen to DJ Shadow as is my tradition. See you in November!

I regret nothing except the following

I need to get this out of my system before National Geoffrey Month. I can’t afford any negativity during my month – don’t want to throw off my cupcake intake.

I regret:
Not buying $1 Fort Thunder comics when I was in school.
Not seeing Lightening Bolt at Fort Thunder, for that matter.
Blowing off Ben Marcus for Meredith Steinbach (although her fourth novel looks interesting).
Not asking out Malena, even though she had a boyfriend.
Not buying AOL in 1991. Seriously – I was buying stocks then; you know how they encourage parents to help their kids with this so they develop fiscal responsibility and understanding at an early age, right? I remember reading an opinion piece in the Wall Street Journal about how AOL would never, ever crack a million users and I was using AOL at that point and I remember thinking, that’s wrong, this is so much better than BBSes. Pre-web, remember.

That’s it. Everything else has been perfect, in its own way.

The square is complete!

The broken window theory in action. George, welcome!

Trigger points

If you direct your eyes to the left, you will see that a new peep has joined my [bird joke]: Dr. Luis Ripoll. He’s been keeping a blog for a while on MySpace and I convinced him to transition it to a more public forum where his writing will get an audience that isn’t all scared freshman girls.

Copped! NikeTalk style

More on the Chauncey M. Depew tobacco card later.

Unfun

Posting and reply to email is going to be slow for a bit – my iBook hard drive blew up (SMART errors and bad blocks all of the sudden) and needs love.

Statistically-outlying girls I have found attractive in select cases

geoffrey — Sat, 13 Nov 2004 08:56:55 +0000

Bald girls
Blind girls with seeing-eye dogs
Courtney Peldon
Girls in wheelchairs
Girls with a gimpy leg
Girls with amputated limbs
Girls with eyes of different colors
Girls with fathers in jail for murder
Girls with giant tattoos of infants riding honeybees with honey dripping from the bee�s fangs
Girls with hysterical pregnancies
Girls with lazy eyes
Girls with white vertical scars on their left wrists
Pyromaniacs

Many who know me well have accused me of having a ‘beauty problem,’ but it’s more like the girl needs to BE BEAUTIFUL TO ME.

All updated; I’m glad you made it

Little disasters
Yesterday, returning to the garage at UCLA where I had parked my car, I was stopped by an officer of the peace and told I couldn’t go to level B, because an SUV had caught fire. So I waited there for the Fire Dept. to do their thing, etc. Then, just now, the power went out in my apartment. These things come in threes. What’s next?

Interesting problem with LED car headlights
Unlike conventional bulbs and xenons, they don’t produce enough heat to melt lens-obscuring snow.

Paper Mario
I can’t help it.

Paul Frank
It’s an ad, but you can be struck by an ad: “If you really want to meet a girl you don’t throw a basketball at her, you make her something…like a purse or something cute.”

Our cat
Has started sleeping in a barrel. Like, eighteen hours a day. She emerges to eat, defecate privatly, and prowl the neighborhood in the small hours. So cute.

The Situation
Ashcroft leaves, Arafat’s brain dies, pharmacists begin to refuse birth control prescriptions.

My two favorite street signs

geoffrey — Sun, 17 Oct 2004 04:50:05 +0000

1. The Historic Tree sign on City Line Avenue in Philadelphia, near Friends Central. Where and what is the historic tree? No one knows. 2. The Beverly Hills is the Sister City of Cannes, France sign on Coldwater. Cheesy, old … Continue reading →
