i finally have pix of "your neon cowboy" picking me up by the teeth :) yay!
and the last screen shot was sent 2 me by michael. thank u michael :)
my mom cam eover yesterday
and it was a pretty nice time! i took her out for chinese food and we ordered
sake and she just thought taht was too extravagant! LOL :) and then she only
drank one little tiny cup 'cause she said it went straight to her head! hehe
:) so of course, i drank her sake. and she'd never had it hot before! we seem
to have a MUCH better time talking when we are face to face with each other.
we don't have as much to talk about on the phone. i think 'cause when we are
talking face to face we can talk about the immediate surroundings then we
have something in common. so we toasted with our sake nad she said, "what
she we toast to?" and i said "let's toast to never saying the word
'estranged' again!" so we did :) so i hope things will be better between
us. and she gave me this cool red hooded fleece pullover that says "
i do not like green eggs and ham " :)
and i bought her a book on how to make cool homemade breads in her breadmaker.
ooo, typing that just made me very hungry!
today i was on the
phone a lot. when i signed up for my merchant account 3 thing, it said that
i can take american express and discover as well as visa and mastercard. but
they failed to tell me that i needed to call up both of these placesand apply
for a separate merchant account # with them.. i still think this is fuct and
something is awry. but whatever. *sigh* so i got that all figured out after
calling a billion numbers and listening to the trillion menu choices and being
on hold for 5 million years. now i have to call up discover and do the same
with them. no one ever tells me this stuff. i just have to figure it out 'cause
it wasn't working and people were trying to sub with their american express
cards and being declined and getting pissed.
then i did an interview
with a magazine called cityAZ( arizona), which is a sister magazine to city
NY ( new york). they have a webpage at cityaz.com
he read me his 1st paragraph he had written and it was the old " the
blue up "blew up" so then she reinvented herself by renaming herself
anavoog, getting breast implants and bleaching her hair platinum white and
going on the internet" augh.
i told him that makes a nice succint exciting soundbite but it's far from the truth. so i had to go through that whole excrutiatingly boring story. i don't know why people just don't read what i have on the webpage. all this information is on there.
then he said it seems
that whenever he visits my site it;'s an empty couch and i don't do the exciting
things i used to. so i said, "are u a member of ana2?" and he said
no. well, i said..there u have it.
so even though this guy has been a huge fan of my site for a very long time
and has told all his friends about it and is so excited to intervierw me (
he emailed me 4 times this morning saying "ana!!!! wake up!!!! call me
please!!!!" like that will wake me up for the interview :)....after all
this...he still is not a member. WHY? it just puzzles the hell out of me.
he was very nice on the phone , tho. i don't mean to paint him in a bad light. i just get easily aggravated by these things. i just wish journalists would do more research instead of me having to spoon feed them in person, the same old information over and over.
but he was pleasant and it wasn't a terrible experience. but u know what i mean! i hope...
oh, another thing that was curious that he said was he said i was "simpatico with some camgirls who had sex sites that were about sex...yet my site was not about sex" and i was like , " ya....i am friends" ??? like ..what was that about? he seemed confused that i could be friends with camgirls who have a sex site when mine was not a sex site. i don't get that. i guess he didn't either! i dunno!
then i got a phone call from mark hosler from negativland! if u don't know who negativland is, they have a website:
and i highly recommend
their cd "escape from noise" it is BRILLIANT. and they are going
on their 1st tour in 7 years!
and they are coming to minneapolis so i FINALLY get to meet mark! i'm trying
to think how i met mark online. i think i just sent him an email saying how
much i thought negativland rocked. i don't know why he wrote back. but we
started up a frenzied email correspondence where we were emailing each other
so much it was more like talking in chat. we'd do this all day typing and
typing and typing!
then we lost track of each other for awhile 'cause he wasn't much of a computer person. my cam was just starting then. and the idea of my cam was very foreign to him, and i think still is. he is a very private person.
anyway...i am really
happy that i'll finally get to meet him! i will bake him cookies!
god, i wish i had some cookies right now i am so hungry! all i have is spaghetti
noodles and a tin of kippers. blech.
gosh...i really have
so much to say. but i guess not a huge amount of energy to say it. i just
have to get boring life things done...like taxes. taxes. augh. taxes. and
i swear to god i have GOT to get my house orgainzed so i can freaking decorate!
i never did decorate this place. it was too white and pristine. all my stuff
was vintage and rusty. i need a warehouse space that i can paint. i need things
more organic. i can't decorate this place in a minimilistic way. i thought
i wanted minimilism. but now i relaize i don't. what i thought i wanted by
being minimilistic was just i wanted more SPACE for my THINGS! i like my things.
i just want more space. spaciousness..not minimilism. i like minimilsm, too.
i'd like to have a minimilistic ROOM but not the entire house. but i cannot
go pounding nails into thee walls and hanging mannequins from the ceiling
and painting these walls different colours without really fucking stuff up
for when i want to leave here. i'd actually stay here for a long time...but
it's just too hot in the summer and cold in the winter because of the windows.
the windows..the curse and the blessing of this place. they certainly are
marvelous looking windows!
but screw it...i MUST decorate or i'll go mad. my house is my sanctuary.
and i wanna learn flash 4. i gotta take a class. typing and flash. but typing first. i have that mavis beacon cd. must. find. the.discipline.
