Dec. 6th, 2002 05:13 pmListing things on Ebay. Takes forever. Fingers freezing off!
At some point today I was supposed to rest and get better, but the medication keeps me hopping from room to room trying to accomplish stuff.
1) hung closet light
2) fed self chicken soup
3) photographed 800 million things for Ebay
Tonight I am going to a garage rock night in a bar with WC and his insane friend Bazooka Joe from Las Vegas.
Last night I saw Quadrophenia, which was kind of dumb, because they never explained what the deal is with Mods. I got Rockers okay, but didn't understand what Mods are about. New clothes? I had it explained to me that they are working-class, but trying to dress nice and break away from their roots. But then instead of being upwardly mobile, they kind of have a punk attitude/mob rule thing going on.

it seems nearly every music/cultural scene will claim to have some sort of shared sociological worldview or idealogy, but that always seems to be less important than the hair and clothes...
and hey, at least they look less silly than goths or ravers. and being mod-punk at least means you bathe and probably wear clean underwear.
