coin operated boy
sitting on the shelf he is just a toy
but i turn him on and he comes to life
automatic joy
that is why i want a coin operated boy

made of plastic and elastic
he is rugged and long-lasting
who could ever ever ask for more
love without complications galore
many shapes and weights to choose from
i will never leave my bedroom
i will never cry at night again
wrap my arms around him and pretend....

coin operated boy
all the other real ones that i destroy
cannot hold a candle to my new boy and i'll
never let him go and i'll never be alone
not with my coin operated boy......

this bridge was written to make you feel smittener
with my sad picture of girl getting bitterer
can you extract me from my plastic fantasy
i didnt think so but im still convinceable
will you persist even after i bet you
a billion dollars that i'll never love you
will you persist even after i kiss you
goodbye for the last time
will you keep on trying to prove it?
i'm dying to lose it...
i want it
i want you
i want a coin operated boy.

and if i had a star to wish on
for my life i cant imagine
any flesh and blood could be his match
i can even take him in the bath

coin operated boy
he may not be real experienced with girls
but i know he feels like a boy should feel
isnt that the point that is why i want a
coin operated boy
with his pretty coin operated voice
saying that he loves me that hes thinking of me
straight and to the point
that is why i want
a coin operated boy.

DRESDEN DOLLS
love
love
love
thanks joseph.

"God does not want you to make a movie" -- Rory Kelly
1. I broke the water main at Ricardo's shoot. 15 hours before his shoot. yeah....waterfall in the backyard, no water, no bathrooms, just a watery playland of a backyard. THANK YOU mr. man for fixing it!! (and cheap!)
2. Blew a breaker at Edwin's location. Almost mauled and raped by girls who live there.
3. HAIL.
4. RAIN.
5. Spaghetti spools....SORRY MARY!
6. Electricity went out at Mary's location the night before her shoot....
7. Ricardo's car broke.
8. Clicking mags.
9. barking dogs.
10. fucking airplanes.
AND 11. a 650K dropped on my head. OWWWWCH.

But i'd have to say, making movies is the coolest, most fun, most exciting, best stress in the world. This weekend was great! more to come...countdown.

PS. "God does not want you to sleep either." --me.

"Meowy" the resident cat at my apartment on Euclid Ave. (whose meow sounds like that cat being mauled, suffocated, AND raped all at the same time) got nothin' on "Claws" the resident cat of my new apartment on Newport Ave. Last night I spent the night at my new apartment (A.K.A. The Pepto-Palace) for the first time. I was awoken by sounds of wretched panting, growling, and moaning. Check my clock. 3 AM. "Fuckin' neighbors are getting their Valentine's lovin' early I suppose" and try to drown out this sickening image of rowdy sex. BUT IT WON'T STOP. and it's hard-fucking-core. In my delirious-ness-ness I contemplate whether this person needs help. Maybe it's not sex. Maybe they are really trying to squeeze one out and need me to pass them some prune juice? No. No. It's a fucking CAT! A wretched beast of a cat. And it's noises will put any ones love life to shame. I eagerly anticipate many more lonely nights spent listening to the moans of wails of "Clawy" the neighborhood sex kitten.

Today I had the best idea ever. And then I had the second best idea after that.
1. I suggested that me and Mary CARRY...(yes carry) our eight-foot-long-more-comfortable-than-my-bed-purple-couch-named-"Harriet" from our current apartment to our new apartment 2 blocks away. To make this event all the more fabulous, we had Ryan Silviera video tape the entire episode. This was a classic Maitlin Fecteamakers moment. Expect stop-motion-odyssey-of-Harriet coming your way soon.
BY THE WAY
if you want to come over to our new apartment you have to buzz us. And apparently our names are: "RaBemaekers/Secteau". So we're not really on the lease...YUM!

2. While carrying Harriet down the street, we gathered quite a few spectators. Many of whom were sweaty men on bikes. Mary and I convinced them all that we were super heroes capable of disappearing and turning trees into instant lemonade stands. ohhhhh how i wish there were a lemonade stand...POOF! gargle, gargle, gargamele.

my weekend was obliterated by pink monstrosity.

It's 6:30 in the morning. I'm sitting in my beautiful spanish villa apartment contemplating what 6:30 AM will look like in the new apartment. EXCUSE ME, the new PEPTO-PALACE. From here on my purple couch I can see a glorious faux fireplace, fabulously decorated white stucco walls, and perfect condition hard wood floors. SURE the next door neighbors are probably/most definitely/certainly selling crack. BUT I LOVE THIS HOUSE! The new place is...cheap....and PINK. Wretched, vomit-inducing, pull your hair out, PEPTOBISMOL PINK. It has brown carpet and (gag me) vertical blinds. In honor of myself and Mary willingly sacrificing our glamorous life for this pretty picture of a life on Newport Ave. please join us in commemorating just how fucking fabulous this place is at our MOVIN' OUT! party on Friday.

AND YES, you can bring flowers. (or beer)
R.I.P. EUCLID APARTMENT. YOU WILL BE MISSED!

OMG OMG OMG if i can reccommend doing ANYTHING in LA before you incur thousand dollar debts and consume yourself with self-loathing and traffic tickets, you have to see JON BRION at LARGO. If you don't know who he is, he's scored everything from ETERNAL SUNSHINE to I HEART HUCABEES and MAGNOLIA. His show was absolutely spectacular, as was the suprise guest appearances by MICHEL GONDRY who plays drums! And I'm such a lush for opportunities like this that I had to interrupt Michel Gondry who was talking with PATRICA ARQUETTE and LIV TYLER to thank him for being insirational, creative, boundry breaking... And he (with his adorable French accent) encouraged me in making my film on film this semester. AH! thennnnn....during the second set, Jon Brion played piano with Michel Gondry on drums, ADAM LEVINE on guitar, (OK I hate Maroon Five but he's hot as hell...) and KANYE WEST free flowing on the mic. OH was it ever a great night?! Bottle or two of Coppola 2002 Cabernet, fantastic music and hand shaking with two inpiring artists...YUM. Jon Brion plays in West Hollywood at Largo every Friday night. I'm officialy a groupie.
