#1
- THE FIRST "NOTES FROM AUSTIN"
FROM THE FUTURE... FROM THE YEAR 2000... FUTURE IS NOW....
#2
- If you see a rather large gay man making snow angels
with Jason Priestly make sure to tell me hi...
#3
- Massive weird feelings and strangeness: I just read
an article about Gregg Araki that says he's dating the
girl who was in "Splendor." Isn't he gay? That's just
weird to me. Perhaps he's bi. I don't need confusion
like this.
#4
- I wish she were my valentine! The Dobie is paying
tribute to the greatest indie actress of all time (okay,
she's second to Lilli Taylor on my list, but I'm gay)...
#5
- I
want to be Rosie O'Donnell. I am a fan and want to talk
to people who make films and be around them and become
a part of that world. But also I am sometimes Rex Reed,
the acerbic, snooty old queen who thinks he knows everything
and just likes to be a cunt. It is often hard to rectify
these two impulses.
#6
- We
made a trek to Stop-N-Rob at some point with john in
his leopard skin robe and tiger striped stretch pants.
#7
- Excerpts from the copious amount of e-mail I received.
Try not to get any on you while wading through it.
#8
- It was fun. I got make-up and everything. And I got
to hold a smelly old fish as well.
#9
- Rich pissed me off a bit by offering me a role as
a dead whore in the student film that he and Matt are
going to make and then rescending it. He was really
kidding around but I wanted that role!
#10
- I tripped over one of Austin's numerous and freaky
concrete problems on 4th and Colorado. I fell flat on
my face. It was embarrassing. Now my knees and wrists
are killing me. (You'd think I'd have built up some
stamina in these areas but...)
#11
- Let's
face it. If homosexuality were totally, 100% accepted
by society, guys would be fucking each other like banshees.
#12
- The place was packed with cute guys but, of course,
I had to go and be myself. Will I ever learn?
#13
- I did my laundry tonight and as I was waiting for
the dryer to finish, I listened to the Sex Pistol's
"Bullocks" CD on my walkman. There's something about
hearing Johnny Rotten spit out "I am an anarchist" while
folding your freshly laundered underwear that just seems
wrong.
#14
- I like to drive around, listen to my CD's loud, dance
in my seat, lip-sing and act weird. Don't know why.
This just makes me feel so cool. I know, to everyone
else I look like an epileptic moron, but from my vantage
point it's a hell of a lot of fun. What does it hurt
if I feel cool and everyone else gets a chuckle? As
I told my mother many times as a teenager, negative
attention is better than no attention at all.
#15
- It's one of those films that would make you think
the participants were complete psychopaths and freaks
if you did not know them personally. It's one of those
films that would scare a 6 year old. Yes, it was troubling.
If the Titz break up, would they reform as Mastectomy?
#16
- Maybe
that could be my character for the comic book/spy spoof
thing... The Couch Potato. I could use TV and junk food
to seduce my enemies and bring them under my control.
I'd have an apathetic, sedentary, spellbound army under
my command! We could gang up on the super heroes and
crush them in a "spare tire" squash.
#17
- As much as I got into film to meet and photograph
cute guys, John. I think, got in it to justify his love
of mustard. At least we ain't in it for the money!
#18
- I have been gelling my hair and stuff since I cut
it. I think it looks pretty cool. I painted one hand
of fingernails black and put on some mascara (sloppily).
I need some lipstick I think, to even out my face if
I'm going to wear mascara. It's such a chore to be pretty.
#19
- Wow.
Jim Varney is gone now too. Maybe Billy Ray Cyrus would
do.
#20
- It was like that time I read "Tiger Beat" on 6 hits
of acid while listening to college radio.
#21
- Eventually, the film turned into a sort of avant-garde,
horror flick about a zombie who kills people by putting
make-up on them.
#22
- Other
on-line writers with film sites jumped on the bandwagon
accusing Knowles of a plethora of things including allowing
writers to "hide behind pseudonyms," Knowles accepting
press junkets to Hollywood studios, and "bad writing."
There is a three syllable word for all this nonsense
ladies and gents: Jealousy.
#23
- It's
gay!....No, I don't mean that it's nelly, or lispy,
or queeny? It's just obviously gay.
#24
- Well
Boys and Gurls. July 13th is the official date which
marks my 1 year anniversary as a resident of Austin.
There have been a lot of highlights this past year...
and plenty of low ones as well.
#25
-John
told a few stories about Michael Caine and William Shatner
on the set of the film. We think Shatner is in on the
joke of his own persona, but we can't be quite sure.
#26
-These
screenings are free for kids and their accompanying
adults only (kid-less adult fanboys will only be allowed
in if the event does not sell out!)" Does this apply
to Harry Knowles as well? Or does he rent a kid? Or
does he count as a kid because his father Jay brings
him to the screening?
#27
- On
Saturday night, my friend Mary and I went to the Agliff
"Sound of Music" sing-a-long. We had to read the lyrics
from a program. Sigh. (I'm not quite SO GAY that I know
they lyrics by heart).
#28
- I
wanted to show Web how gay Aaron is, but he didn't get
any dings on his "gaydar." Of course, Web is straight,
but I guess straight people can have gaydar too, just
not as finely tuned, perhaps. After we watched the show
for a while, however, I think Web was seeing things
my way.
#29
- We
got into the VIP lounge where Patrick Swayze, who cut
the red ribbon to open the building, was consistently
mobbed by fans. He would stroll through the lounge occasionally
and some woman would swoon. He did look quite sexy in
person. He looked really good.
#30
- She
was sitting on my lap and forcing my hand under her
shirt. I was pretty drunk. I think someone videotaped
it. God help me, it will probably end up on cable access
at some point.
#31
- See,
Barnes and Noble is like Pat Robertson. It is what it
is. It's not even ashamed about what it is. Bookpeople
is like George W. Bush. It's trying to pretend it's
some sort of idealistic, cool, "normal" little thing
when it is in fact a fucking wolf in sheep's clothing.
It made me ill.
#32
-
At least Barnes and Noble's act as if they are a big
fucking chain store. They ARE a big fucking chain store
and are unapologetic about it. Bookpeople tries to pretend
that they are this cool little groovy place when they
actually reek of corporate greed and commercialism.
They're like the Republican bookstore.
#33
- Can
you be a Buddhist and still critique films?
#34
- For
Halloween, I'm thinking of attaching a big fake cock
dildo to the front of my shirt, so the head is pointing
at my chin, and then squirting Elmer's glue all over
my face and around my neck and going as a "money shot..."
Whatdya think?
#35
- The new John Goodman gay show "Normal, Ohio" was so
loaded with gay jokes and references that even I got
sick of it. It was just gay, gay, gay, gay, gay.
#36
- Ah, the election! I am so excited about this election.
I voted for Nader since Bush was obviously going to
win Texas. I am pissed off about it now because those
fucking dumbass schmucks in Florida who were Nader supporters
should have been smart enough to vote for Gore. Dumbasses.
#37
- In Memory of John Christensen, 1972-2000.
