DROP DEAD

Drop Dead is the name of the 'zine Ry and I have decided to make by next Wednesday. Yes, it's going to be a fast one for sure, but who said fast means bad? 16 copies will be made (no reprints allowed) on half legal size pages. $1 each, maybe $2. Since we decided to do this when we talked on the phone tonight, the theme of the project is "just do it!" Like Nike.

I sent a message to Jovovich-Hawk on myspace. "i think you guys are great. but was wondering, do you hate fat people?" they actually replied to me and said, "No! why would you think that?! do you hate fat people?" I had to ask seeing as how both milla and this carmen hawk chick are super skinny (more so the hawk) with an unnecessary amount of pictures of various thin women. so i wrote back and just said, "no i'm a people lover as well. you have great pictures. what is the one of mi vida loca? it's amazing! xo" hawk then told me, "its a great film by Alison Anders! Thank you! Why may i ask you did you ask us that question? Do you think your a fat person? I think your Stunning. I hope you can see how beautiful you are! xo c" Pretty great that this former model just fed me a line of..not coke, but bullshit, trying to instill confidence in me because she really must think i'm meat-normous!

post numero uno

If I ever wrote a collection of short personal essays I think I would call it "Walkers are Reminded to Use the Sidewalk While Leaving: Walkers are now dismissed." Maybe all the stories would be about anything that has happened to me while walking. Around the city, and well, that's it because I don't walk anywhere else.

I have printed 5 copies of my short 18-page 'zine called FakePlant. Putting it together was such a great feeling. I really should run off 'zines more often. I like the manual labor of the whole process. Staples is where it's at. Fuck Kinko's.

This blog is somewhat to be used as a place to draft up 'zine articles/reviews/rants...and whatever else I feel like.
