I'd rather work to get a paycheque than wait to win the lottery.

Have I ever mentioned that I love the video for "First Day Of My Life"? Well, I do. And for at least three very good reasons.

- It's a song by Bright Eyes.
- It was directed by John Cameron Mitchell.
- It's got Daniela Sea in it. And she doesn't have to act, just sit there and appreciate her lady friend. So it's win-win for everyone.

My favourite moment is the pregnant woman with the headphones on her stomach.

I heard you called Bill Beckett a skankeroo earlier today.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Hee.

I have also called him Wilhemina on occasion.

Awwww now I have warm fuzzies! Lovely video, indeed.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I know! Conor Oberst writes a lot of warm fuzzy songs for such a sad little dude.

[fmith.livejournal.com]

Nice.

Thank you!

(I'm writing a fic in which Patrick and Vicky T eat ice cream and bond over KISS. Makeup and Guitar Hero may be involved.)

Awwww...and yet another example of how awesome Daniela Sea is pretty excellent, as long as she's not supposed to, you know, act or anything.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

I really wish she could act, because she seems like a highly groovetastic individual. Like she'd be fun to hang out and watch movies with.

jdfhgdfhgd cuuuuuuute.

Actually, funny story. A girl in my art class did her final project based on that song/video. She did a photo series of two of her friends being romantic and cute and referencing the lyrics. And then they did the heart thing at the end. It was cute. Have I said 'cute' enough times in this comment? I THINK NOT. CUTE CUTE CUTE. MCCUTE. IN CUTE PANTS.

Yes! I might invite her to my fictional Best Party Ever. I want to like her so much, but she's just not...compelling as an actress.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

Out of curiousity, who else is invited to this Best Party Ever? (I'd invite Susan Sarandon.)

Daniela Sea's ladyfriend is Bitch from Bitch and Animal. Holy god, the hot.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

That right there is frickin' adorable.

[ishyface.livejournal.com]

The hot indeed!

Also: you've seen Shortbus, right? Because there are some things that I can't imagine you not doing, and seeing Shortbus is one of them.

[jadedsquirrel.livejournal.com]

Oh, most definitely. I loved Bitch in that. I actually recently met Tristan Taormino, the feminist pornographer who consulted on the film and was in the orgy scene.

Heh...it's a pretty extensive guest list. tryoliancorsair and I worked it out one night. Some of the highlights are Kurt Wild, Arthur Stewart, Judith Butler and her partner, Henry Rollins, Chrissie Hynde (who comes early to help cook), several Bollywood stars, several other academics, and some very assorted people. We never wrote it out, which I'm regretting right now...
