Classic movies and NIN's Spin magazine article

Yesterday I was flipping channels cause you can only watch the news the first half hr before you get really tired of seeing the same shit repeated for the next hour coming up. So I saw that the Elvis movie "Clambake" was on and decided to watch it. By that time, bubba already came home from work and I told him that the main competitor guy that Elvis was up against looked really familiar (now keep in mind this movie was made in '67). He had short stylish blond hair at the time. His voice wasn't like how I normally heard this guy talk but that face, you can't forget that face. So I'm like "he looks like ummm.....Bixby, ya know, the guy that played on the Incredible Hulk." (I can't believe the nerd in me forgot his first name). I mean it looked like him but I wasn't really sure. When they were showing the credits at the end and saw his name, I freaked. I was right, it was Bill Bixby. After all this time of seeing or knowing about these Elvis movies or stuff about Bixby, I never knew he was in it.

I really need a geek pin.

I typed up bits and pieces of what I thought were the focus areas from the Trent Reznor interview from this month's Spin magazine. I was quite shocked on seeing the dark/past side of himself. I didn't really think he had that much of a problem going on with the drugs and booze but yet, its not really overly shocking the more I think about it.

I have a NIN vhs boxset I bought back in '00 called "Closure". The one tape has all their vids on it (and let me tell you, the vid for Happiness in Slavery is FUCKED UP/sick/gross/gory, whatever you make of it. Bubba can barely sit through that vid cause it freaks him out and thats not even including the VERY naked man in the video either) and the other tape is some live footage and CRAZY backstage stuff, which by seeing that, you know half of them were either drunk or high.

Anyways, I am in a puddle of squee regardless of the situation I just read regarding the release of Closure FINALLY on dvd. The news behind it was noted Oct of last yr: unfortunately, the Closure dvd is tied up in legal problems at the moment and looks unlikely to see release until early '05. We apologize for the delay, we're as frustrated about it as you are and we'll let you know of any changes.

Before I post it, I was reading some of the entries on NIN's website and got a chuckle out of what he wrote for Nov. 4th last yr: One step closer to the end of the world. The one-two combo of corporate greed and organized religion apparently proved to be too much for reason, sanity, and compassion. It's a sad and shameful day to be an American.

Now onto the mag. article::

I've been in a -___- *blah/weird* mood lately so that means I can not get my brain to function right to do the writings that I NEED to get started. I have 2 ideas for the different drabble requests, its all up to the brain when it wants to cooperate with me. This sucks too cause I've been stewing over this new Gungrave fic that hit me awhile back and came to me again the other day. Though some of it might require having to watch the last eps *wibbles* and just trying to piece everything together. *headdesk*

Yesterday felt nice to actually SLEEP when I needed to, I've had such a whacked out schedule since this past weekend.

Its supposed to be in the 90's today and the weekend. But right now its sooooo fucking humid, its not funny. We still have the windows and fans on in the house, no AC for us just yet. We're trying to see how long we can go without turning it on.

I'm hoping to get back with everyone on comments and email hopefully later tonight since Fri nights are slow at work.
