Listen to my heart slam, it's the hologram jam!

I've been putting off writing this blog for a few days. I started working(yay?) & adjusting to getting up so early hasn't been fun. Here I am, fucking it up again writing at 1am instead of sleeping. I got a lomography camera & have been taking some pictures here & there. I have a ton of things to try out still. Pretty excited about it though & hoping my first roll of film comes out well. Speaking of film... I'm supposed to make a movie or something by August for this college get together screening. Don't know what I'm going to do about that yet.

I was in Venice the other night & took this picture on my point & shoot. Now I'm excited to shoot some stuff on film.

I went to a couple shows last week. I went to see Jaguar Love play at some warehouse space called "The Sex" which wound up being a pretty decent place to have shows despite the desolate shady warehouse part of downtown it resides in. All Leather also played, whom I've been really curious to see live & they were pretty entertaining, even Heather thought so. I was being really lazy when it came to taking pictures that night so here's the best I have.

I haven't seen Jaguar Love live since their latest digital incarnation. They seem to have a drummer again which is nice. When I first heard their new songs online I was really hesitant about it. I didn't much like it at all. But I know they're really good live & I've been following them as musicians for a few years now so I went to the show. They won me over. I bought their new cd. It's kind of ridiculous but kind of awesome. It puts me in a dancing mood so I guess their work is done. Some of the songs are really sticking in my head. I find myself over & over repeating things like "Yeah, yeah, yeah yeah yeah - listen to my heart slam, it's a hologram jam!" & "I was in the back of my car, sleeping in the sunshine, sleeping in the sunshine - polaroids & drinking red wine, sleeping in the sunshine, sleeping in the sunshine". The song 'Sad Parade' cracks me up because the music reminds me of 'A Pac-Man Christmas' crossed with a boy band, at least in the very beginning. Anyone else that had that album as a child might understand what I mean. So I've listened to it a handful of times now & it's really growing on me. I took a couple of pictures of them on my diana camera. It was so dark in there I hope they come out.

I also went to see Hot Hot Heat play a free show in Pasadena. That was fun. I have one of their albums but haven't followed them at all. They were pretty good & quite a few people turned out including some friends & my brother.
