entirely.

Man, I missed this place.

[Greg Nog]

He's kinda that by default since dude showed his ass on the internet

Holy fuck, I plumb forgot about that. Let's just keep that buried, man.

Buried on my hard drive.  Buried on my hard drive.

[Aglaya]

Well I dunno, having seen the front of him now, I think we oughta dig that up.

[Swimmy]

Speaking of remembering embarrassing thing, I should have noted this in my (re)introduction.

I haven't updated in quite a long time. I should take care of that soon.

It's NSFW if you can't tell by the URL.

[Aglaya]

I love your website Swimmy.

[Andrew_TSKS]

i've got that video of blake somewhere too. it's actually really funny.

[Maaik]

I never saw it.  Which is a shame, as we're both members of the very exclusive "I've Shown My Bare Ass On LPTJ" Club.

[Lucy]

i've got it too, part of ye olde lptj archive i've got going on over here. pretty funny.

I never saw it.  Which is a shame, as we're both members of the very exclusive "I've Shown My Bare Ass On LPTJ" Club.

Dr. Bob is, too! I feel like it's okay for me to remember that because he keeps saying mean things about my boyfriend's family in the photographs thread. 

[Doctor Bob]

Why yes I am!

If only all cases of revenge were so vengeless.

[hannah]

Why yes I am!

If only all cases of revenge were so vengeless.

Two wrongs don't make a right. My revenge is that I get to sit around and feel smug.

So I've decided to dedicate my five hundredth post to introducing myself. Hi, everybody!

Name: Arlo
Age: 36
Seven bands you like: Bowie, Costello, Will Oldham, The Hold Steady, Spoon, Ted Leo, Springsteen
A favorite movie: I'd like to say A Moment of Innocence, but I'm going to say Big Trouble in Little China instead.
A favorite book: Remembrance of Things Past. Seriously. Best book ever. And then the Critique of Pure Reason and then the Hitchhiker's Guide to the Galaxy.
Favorite Comic Book: Never really read no comix. Ghost World was a fine film, if that counts.
Which Outsider would you want to share a studio apartment with? Never read it. Never saw Goonies, either.
Skills/hobbies: I do crazy amounts of yoga these days, but that's not really a hobby, because I only do it because I am very, very old (see above) and have to stay thin and gorgeous somehow. Most of my entertainment is passive - listening to music, watching movies & TV-on-DVD, on bit of a sabbatical from reading... Does drinking count as a hobby?
Skills/hobbies you wish you had: I kinda don't understand the question.
Last CD you bought: Most recently ordered = Tokumaro Shugo L.S.T., most recently received = Marnie Stern In Advance of the Broken Arm.
Was it good? Yes, they both are.
Best popsicle flavor: Honestly, I think I'll pass on the popsicles.
Favorite instrument: I don't play, but I think it's impossible to have a truly unlistenable song if there's a banjo in it.
Favorite word: In my first year English class, we had to write a review of a story about a man who threw himself from a window, and one of my greatest regrets in life was failing to use the word "defenestrate" in what God clearly intended as my only legitimate opportunity. I'll make myself a second chance now, and pretend my favourite word is "defenestrate".
Favorite word for kiss: Tonsil hockey
Picture: I live in a world almost entirely without photographs (which is odd, since professionally I am building a multimedia research repository, which you'd think would include photos, them being all multimedia and like that), so I don't have one to offer. Sorry.

[rockmeamadeus]

A favorite movie:  Big Trouble in Little China

good answer

[aftm]

Big Trouble in Little China! Maddox would be proud!

[diesel_powered]

I'm kind of bored and waiting for my pill to kick in before bed, so I think I'll update this.

Name: Mike
Age: 25
Seven bands you like: Gang of Four, Shellac, Stereolab, Sonic Youth, Ramones, Orbital, Can
A favorite movie: Wings of Desire
A favorite book: Slaughterhouse-Five.
Favorite Comic Book: Raw. I never really got into mainstream comics. Except for X-men, but the storyline was so convoluted by the time I got to it that my attention waned quickly.
Which Outsider would you want to share a studio apartment with? From Wikipedia (mostly because I needed a memory jog) Keith "Two-Bit" Mathews, 18 and a half: He has been known as "Two-Bit" for so long that even his teachers have forgotten that his real name is Keith. Two-Bit is the joker of the gang, always smiling and cracking jokes. Like Sodapop, he lives for action and fun. Though nearly 19 years old, Two-Bit is still a junior in high school because he finds school "entertaining." We'd probably smoke a lot of grass.
Skills/hobbies: Once again, does drinking count as a hobby? I'm an amateur beer connaisseur. I like noodling with computers. All my other hobbies pretty much turned into what I like to consider my "career".
Skills/hobbies you wish you had: Reading. Physical fitness.
Last Vinyl you bought: Terraform.
Was it good? In the audiophile world, they call it "reference quality".
Best popsicle flavor: Orange.
Favorite instrument: Ableton Live.
Favorite word: "Fuck"
Favorite word for kiss: "Snog"

[das kranke Tier]

Yea, I'm curious about that one.

Favorite poem:

"A lion roars and a dog barks. It is interesting

are in my dreams and I will sing them all if I
am not exhausted and weary."

Welcome! I remember being impressed by "Werckmeister Harmonies", even if I hardly remember anything about the movie now.

[Almanzo]

I'm a big Bela Tarr fan either way, but the movie just knocked my socks on my ass. I enjoyed the book ("the Melancholy of Resistance") in a completely different way, but Tarr's film straight killed it. My only complaint is it being dubbed from Hungarian into German (I think?) - there are many scenes where it feels like you're watching a Godzilla movie.

[Nick Ink]

the Human League's first two records and EP

We are going to be friends.

[Lucy]

Andrew is awesome, by the way. He's mah neighbor!

[Andrew_TSKS]
