***BIG CHANGES TO D.O.S. SCHEDULE***
rice king alert!!!
okay, tonight was supposed to be the night you've all been waiting for, but sadly we couldn't get a copy of Cool As Ice. However, since we do know where to find one we've decided to postpone the entire program until a later date and instead we bring you:
7pm -- Stray Cat Rock: Sex Hunter [1970] Those who managed to catch Female Convict Scorpion back in November will not want to miss this stylish Japanese Mod female JD movie starring Female Convict Scorpion herself Meiko Kaji.
9pm -- Female Convict Scorpion: Beast Stable [1973] The third entry in the Female Convict Scorpion series, it's not as good as the second film (which we watched back in November) but it's still got lots of style and gore to spare.
that's it for now. the beejster and i take off for NY/Montreal on Saturday and my sister has mentioned that she intends to continue movie night in our absence, but you'll have to talk to her about that. upon our return we will have another Female Convict Scorpion double bill and hopefully Cool as Ice/Purple Rain night. Detail upon our return.
rsvp, pop fund monies, blah, blah, blah...

edward fortyhands strikes back.
the sixty-four penny question becomes this:
in light of my (albeit more and more seemingly imaginary) friend piper not going to attend, is there any desire to play edward fortyhands? I realise this is short notice, but I could try to pick up some forties. graeme, I'll even look for rainier in forty form just for you, if you'd like.
otherwise, we could each try to initiate ourselves into the hundred ouncer club using plain beer. it's a simple task, just drink nine beers in a night. now the TWO HUNDRED OUNCER club is another matter, requiring just under seventeen beers.
personally, I think I can do it if I get an early enough start. who is man (or woman) enough to drive seveteen beers without puking with me? the bonus of this game over fortyhands is you can piss freely as often as you want. and the beer can be good.
and to think, people think I'm joking when I tell them I only drink to excess... all or very little, babee.

you're once, twice, three times a camper...
okay folks, let's try this one more time before I go on a murderous killspree and render all of your internal organs for kitten food...
camping. would like for at least six people to go, more would be better. thinking either the weekend of july 31 or or august 21. from my crappy recollection, I'm pretty sure most of us have had at least token availability for those weekends...
I have babysitting obligations the weekends of the july 3th and 17th (I'm looking at YOU, bj and mariko), helping my parents move weekend of july 10th, and my sister's baby shower weekend of august 14th.
owen has said no to july 10th, 24th and august 7th.
obviously, bj and mariko are unavailable july 3rd, 10th and 17th.
grae and bean have various school obligations that have yet to be defined.
paul is a bitch with a commitment problem. now that he has employment, I expect a ring on my finger. or at least a firm "maybe" for a weekend for camping...
toby and kate will probably use the pacific ocean as an excuse. losers.
I don't recall anyone else chiming in at all. bob and rach? eva? scott? karen? bree and nick?
offer still stands to heavily supplement the beer fund...

this is my little friend...
I made a very special purchase tonight. it's round, it's green, and it cost $3.99 plus tax.
the clubhouse kids now have a kickball for which to play kickball.
you all owe me a game of kickball for my birthday. it's a moral imperative that we play like schoolchildren. eating of paste optional.

B-Ballin, Shot-Callin, and Driving the Lane
Hey, I'm going out to buy a Basketball today (probably one of those fancy ones with the built-in pumps). Anyways, is anyone interested in playing some basketball tommorow, early afternoonish. Just shooting around, some 21, maybe a little 1 on 1 (but since I'm not very good this will be a fairly short.) Give me a call if you're interested.
While the Cat's Away...
Hey there, I know it's a little short notice, but I'm going to a show at the Brickyard Tonight. It's like 9-12 bux (I couln't make sense of the poster)
Here's what Canada.com says:
"Hella
Two-piece Sacramento guitar & drum band performs with Philadelphia's Need New Body, he Raking Bombs, and The Douggernaut
HELLA: two piece for Sacramento CA, ripping fast drums and guitar "Interlocking riffs and drum patterns have a dark metallic edge, but with blasts of melodic drive and bits of electronic hiss."
NEED NEW BODY: "Need New Body is widely known for their stunning theatrical live show, they've been know for wearing costumes, irregular instrumentation, and an overall crazy and thoroughly entertaining performance"
Hella are crazy good live, and one of the members of the Raking Bombs is a friend of mine.
Call me if you are interested in going, just so I know to keep an eye out.
And tommorow at the Pic Pub There's a hiphop show whose infor I can't find online, but has a bunch of people I've never heard of, Dj Moves, and AWOL One whose fricking awesome. Doors at 9, 10 bux at the door. Let me know if your interested...

Alive but warm
I am still alive and am really warm.
I don't really know what to bring back. They don't have monkeys in Arizona.
Won't check in again until I get home.

I think I have a new hero:
And it's Jim Davis. And that frightens me quite a lot.
But wow...it sure explains why Garfield has been around so long. It's supposed to be boring.

Last Minute Reminder...
hi all!
just wanted to let you know what's happening tonight at the D.o.S.
8pm (sharp!): Kwaidan [1964] Anthology film of Japanese ghost stories produced by Toho Studios. Required viewing for anyone who claims to be a fan of Japanese horror movies and important context for all of the "New School" Miike rip-offs we've been inundated by. High on atmostphere and style this is an evening not to be missed.
Note: Because the film is nearly 3 hours long there will only be one film tonight, but those who show up at 7pm like good little boys and girls may be treated to some horror shorts.
rsvp if you can, pop fund, call for directions blah, blah, blah...

All is well...
I have a new home! I was just informed that on June 26th, I'll be moving into a kickass place at Nelson and Broughton. 19th floor, nice view... damn, I'm looking forward to it.
My place in Victoria never felt much like home, mainly because my roommate Hugh, a very cool guy, has lived here two or three years. He's thus left his stylistic stamp all over the place and I haven't done much customizing, especially given that my island tenure was always limited to 6 months.
But now I live 5 minutes walk from Hon's Chinese!!! Anybody who wants to lend a hand in my brief move (only one volunteer needed, my bed's the only thing I can't move on my own) is invited out.
And yes, this means I'll be joining the Clubhouse Party that night. Run in bowel-clenching terror, Christian.

Republican Survivor
I know we're mostly Canucks here and all, but still I thought some of you might enjoy voting off your favourite Republican.
As an added bonus, there are "Crazy GOP" quotes along the left. The one I'm looking at now is a peach.
"God gave us the earth. We have dominion over the plants, the animals, the trees...God said, 'Earth is yours. Take it. Rape it. It's yours.'" -- Ann Coulter, Hannity & Colmes, 6/20/01
Love that rape imagery. You go, girl. You know, that's what political discourse needs more of. Rape imagery.

road trip itinerary
okay, this is what is going on this weekend. the planning is fairly modular, people can participate in what they want. I have one spare key and we'll have two vehicles, so as long as we don't split into more than two groups (or three if someone sits at home), we'll be fine.
friday, 6:45pm, cinerama: garden state
friday, midnight, egyptian: undead
saturday, 1:30pm, egyptian: love me if you dare
sunday, 11:30am, pacific place: garden state
donnie darko director's cut is playing all three days at the varsity, showtimes of 1:00, 4:00, 7:00 and 9:55. I figured one of the two later shows saturday would work best.
aside from the first garden state screening, no one has tickets reserved for anything except miyuki and I. if you want to go, you'll need to get tickets on your own. doubtful any of the shows will sell out, so tickets could be purchased at the box office. couldn't hurt to order them online and will call them at the theatre, tho. graeme and corrine's garden state tix are at will call, not sure what owen arranged for...
I'll spring for pizza one night. we'll need to figure out other food arrangements. if cost is an issue, we can acquire groceries, and, heaven forbid, actually good stuff cheaply.. there's also reasonably priced food all over. pho ($5 a person), taco del mar (BIGass burritos for $5), musashi's (cheap decent sushi, depends on the time of day tho), pagliacci ($2 a slice for pizza).
we can try to do other stuff too, if there's time and interest. that's a lot of fecking movies tho. some of the canadian contigent may want to break off and do their own thing for part of the time, which is fine. I'll try to draw up a rough map of seattle with some major thoroughfares to keep you from getting lost.

camping revisited.
okay folks... I'm proposing two dates for camping, and would like to get a handful of people to commit to one of them. if we can get maybe six people to give a firm commitment (ie, enough to warrant putting money down for a reservation), then if others can join on shorter notice, the more the merrier...
I propose either the weekend of july 24-25 or august 7-8. far enough in advance that people could insure they have time off and whatnot. it's the middle of summer, so school issues should be minimal.
as I offered before, I'll provide a keg for drunken debauchery. I just need some cohorts...

Yay!... and argh...
Woot! Probable job offer downtown!
Attendant ethical quandary. Dammit. Must find a way to get the job while making my potential employer understand that I refuse to do some of the political work he's attached to the position. Any suggestions on how to tell someone offering a spot that part of the job description is unacceptable?
As usual, I can't post about job stuff on my own blog, so you poor people have to listen to me whine...

I meant to post it here, but posted in on my blog instead.

Screener pass.
Who wants to go with me Monday night, 7pm, Fifth Avenue? Me and another person. If I can't find anyone I won't go. But it's my birthday... :(

The June D.o.S. Schedule
Hey Kids.
Okay, I'm done being a bum. Here is the schedule for the full month. You'll notice I've included last week's schedule too, but that's purely for for my own records so you can ignore that if it makes you happier.
Tuesday June 1: Anime Night (robots not included)
7pm: Tokyo Godfathers [2003] -- Charming tale of three street people: a middle aged alcoholic, an equally middle aged drag queen and a 15 year old runaway find a baby in the trash on Christmas Eve and embark on an epic journey across the city to reunite the child with her mother.
9pm: Millennium Actress [2001] -- A thousand years of Japanese history, a century of Japanese film history and close to sixty years of personal history collide when a documentary film crew interview a famous actress upon the destruction of the studio she help build. Beautiful and complex this is filmmaking at its best.
Tuesday June 8: Asian Creepfest
7pm: Tell Me Something [1999] -- Think of it as the Korean "Se7en". A grim and twisty serial killer movie involving bags of body parts and lots of blood. Fun and thrilling it'll apparently have you on the edge of your seat.
9pm: Ju-On: The Grudge [2003] -- I know some of you have seen it already, but we haven't so tuff toenails. Creepy Japanese horror. If you've seen Ringu you'll know what to expect.
Tuesday June 15: Ghost Stories (one film because it's really long)
8pm: Kwaidan [1964] -- Trilogy of Japanese ghost stories. Creepy, atmospheric and beautifully shot it should also provide some context for those who saw "Millennium Actress" at the beginning of the month (please note this movie is three hours long).
Tuesday June 22: Sex, Drugs and Rock & Roll
7pm: Stoked: The Rise and Fall of Gator [2003] -- Chronicle of the late eighties skater who turned pro at 14 and by 17 was making over $100,000 a year. Too much money, too many drugs, and too much attention all add up to a spectacular and horrific fall from grace.
9pm: Heavy Metal Parking Lot [1986] -- Yes the title does explain it all.** Note Changes**
Tuesday June 29: T.A. Night -- Musicians on Motorcycles
7pm: Cool As Ice [1991] -- Yes, that Cool As Ice.
9pm: Purple Rain [1984] -- Because Prince rules.
Booze or other intoxicant recommended.
R.S.V.P. pop fund, blah, blah, blah...

Fucknuggets
My landlord has got the right idea for income right now and has the grand plan to sell the Clubhouse building. On Saturday (already! the place may have been listed for lass than a week), the realtor is coming over to tour the place.
I hate this so much. I hope I get a landlord half as decent as the last one. And I really hope that the new owner doesn't want to get rid of the building or up the rent. Because the only reason this place is so livable is because of the repairs and painting that has gone on because of us.
Five years in one very awesome place may be ending soon. If that happens I have no idea what will happen.

another of christian's hare-brained schemes...
I'm sure this idea will die in mediocrity just like the camping one, but I thought I'd mention it. kismet or something, as I keep encountering the idea in different places...
I propose we bring back a time-old tradition of clubhouse intramurals. the football games we had were legendary, tho were generally limited to, at most, a five on five format. I suspect this is because tossing around the ol' pigskin is a bit too elitist for those of the more pussy persuasion. so I propose a game more fitting of a general audience... folks, let's all grope our inner child, head out to the old ballyard and play a little kickball!
the great thing about kickball is that it requires very little athletic prowess. the ball is clumsy and big and awkward. even the best kickers flub it half the time, and it's unweildy as hell, which makes any truly painful peltings in the basepaths unlikely. but mostly, it's just fun. shit, even I could play it as a kid, and I was a TOTAL git as a kid. sad to think I'm waaaaay more athletic now than I was twenty years ago. for those who witnessed my football performance, this is indeed impressive.
I'll gladly pick up one of those big red four-square balls to donate to the clubhouse toy chest if we could get some people together and a field to play on, preferably when I'm up there. we'd want at least six per team, but any baseball derived sport lends itself well to playing with a bare minimum of players: ghost runners, pitcher's hand, etc. we could get by with as few as three on a side without requiring TOO much chasing the ball in the field, tho it would make for an offensive slugfest. I imagine the fewer players we have, the wider the basepaths should be.
is anyone up for it? it's a simple game. you throw the ball, you catch the ball, you kick the ball. sometimes you win, sometimes you lose, sometimes it rains (it's most fun this way). but as long as paul is there, we can all get in lots of target practice...

The Month's Rundown
(For Those Too Lazy to Read The Infrequently Updated Calendar)
Thursday is Games Night. With me being sick, I'll try to be up and running. This month's features also include RoboRally.
Friday is Harry Potter as discussed in some post in the May archive page.
Saturday is Pitt Meadows Day, but while I will be in Pitt MEadows, I will not be attending.
______________________________
The following weekend we are leaving for Seattle. Miyuki, Owen, I need to know when you can leave. Both Grae and I are off that day entirely and lunch at Jack-in-the-Box appeals to me.
______________________________
Birthday celebrations appear to be in order much later in the month for Christian, Paul's and my own birthdays. Saturday June 26th.
Girls' night will resume on the 27th as originally planned.
