finally finished yesterday 8/19/08. Acrylic on canvas. lyrics to Joy Division's "Atmosphere"


Walk in silence,
Dont walk away, in silence.
See the danger,
Always danger,
Endless talking,
Life rebuilding,
Dont walk away.

Walk in silence,
Dont turn away, in silence.
Your confusion,
My illusion,
Worn like a mask of self-hate,
Confronts and then dies.
Dont walk away.

People like you find it easy,
Naked to see,
Walking on air.
Hunting by the rivers,
Through the streets,
Every corner abandoned too soon,
Set down with due care.
Dont walk away in silence,
Dont walk away.


Joy Division › Atmosphere, 1980

the ever elusive kitteh...! she loves a squeeze!!!

ooh the darkwave station on last.fm is so seriously DARK!
geesh!
i came across this band description that tripped me out! what is this!?
"Arcana is a neoclassical/darkwave band from Sweden, formed in 1993. They merge classically- and medievally-inspired instrumental music with occasional vocals to arrive at a richly atmospheric and dark musical tapestry."
&
their song "lost in time" was so glorious! haha

this was followed by some German band, very closely related to Rammstein playing some "gothic darkwave".

i really don't get the "darkwave" tag. i thought darkwave was the depressing sidekick to newwave? as always, people define it to be whatever they want in the end.


*in the "german" tag: i left this comment:

scully is always...i mean ALWAYS...sitting on my right, on top of my piano keyboard, looking at me everytime i put my laptop here. its very cute and all, especially when she puts one paw on top of my "mouse" hand and prevents me from moving it any longer, mainly because its so warm and cuddly that i dont want her to take it away.
she is a cutey, when she wants to be!
other times she like a vengeful, frisky, evil bitch! well, mainly with others. she listens to me! lest i hit her butt! jk.
happee scully

so we did this impromptu photo shoot on Sat night.
juju had new "beauty dish" and rigged his flash on it, did a little jig, and TADA!
these are my favorite all time photos of myself! i've never liked my pictures, and i thought, maybe if i can do my own makeup and wear something i'm comfortable with, i can look decent.
Well, these actually make me happee! and more than anything, i think they represent me well.
its nice to feel pretty =}

i wanted to compile a list of my favorite quotes. i dont know exactly why i like quotes so much? maybe the fact that they are short, succinct truths or descriptors of myself?

so i'm digging the band MGMT. aka management. very eclectic little songs they put together. i need to feed off of some musicians for inspiration, ideas, etc. i miss that about being in a band. :/
