Well, it's great by virtue of being bad. Which reminds me, should I watch Battlefield Earth? I heard that was a real stinker. I'm always on the search for the worst movie ever made.

Cool list Jesus. I'm especially partial to "Smile Like You Mean It" by The KIllers at the moment.

Jesus, skip Battlefield Earth. Remember that line you had about that Interpol "lime" lyric pattentank posted? Something like, "some things are so bad that they're funny, and some things are so bad that..." Well, it's just that goddamn bad.

Hey guys,
Just wanted to thank everyone who write nice comments to me a few days ago after I heard my ex passed away. It was much appreciated. The past few days have been pretty tough but I'm basically fine, largely thanks to my friends who have been so great this weekend. The thing that hasn't been so great is this has put a really weird strain on my relationship with my boyfriend that I can't really articulate but things there have suddenly become very awkward and I don't know what to do about it. Hopefully it will just work itself out as I start to feel more normal - I still just feel like everything is really surreal right now.
OK well enough of that. I promise not to just fill the board with this mushy self-absorption..... even if I am finally A GOD!!! muhahahahaahahahahaha.
Here are my top 10 songs of the moment, to get back on topic around here:
1) the misfits - bullet***
2) the black heart procession - we always knew
3) neurosis and jarboe - erase
4) the birthday party - jennifer's veil
5) the adverts - bored teenagers
6) the misfits - where eagles dare
7) nick cave - she fell away
8) the mekons - oblivion
9) joy division - atmosphere
10) young marble giants - searching for mr right
*** the lyrics to this song are completely unbelievable. it may well be the most offensive song ever written. i canNOT believe they got away with this.

Well, you had an affinity with your ex and that's something that doesn't die with the person- it'll stay with you. Of course your boyfriend would like the certainty that he's number one in your life and doesn't see that reciprocated in the way he used to....
Hey, just give yourself some time- if he's your friend he'll understand- like we all here understand your need to go mushy once in a while.
Sick as a dog, two days off to recuperate so I'm gonna spend my time with:
- Band Of Brothers DVD
- The Young Ones DVD
- Abfab season 5 DVD
- Naqoyqatsi DVD
- a large dose of vitamin C and rest.

that band of brothers dvd set may just be about the best thing ever made for television, and a great dvd set also. and the packaging of the set itself is topnotch too.
me, i'm waiting for the first season of The Wire to be released, should be later this month. and then of course is the extended Return of the King set coming sometime fairly soon.

My mom came in town the other night, and I made a side of broiled tomatoes topped with basil, oregano, garlic powder, olive oil, and just a sprinke of mozz cheese. Main course were these lasagna rolls I make... -Boil lasagna noodles -Simmer up chopped crimini mushroom caps, garlic clove, onions, and fresh chopped spinach -Season with pepper and salt, to keep the veggies juicy -Add ricotta cheese -Put mix in lasagna noodles, roll up, drizzle with olive oil and top with sauce made of... -Chicken broth -Gorgonzola cheese -Mozzarella -Heavy cream I'm suddenly very envious of luke's girlfriend (assuming he cooks stuff like this for her too). |

Yeah, I usually cook two or three nights a week, and she cooks one or two (she's the grillmaster, I'm better in the kitchen) and we make a lot of stuff together (aw, how sweet.)
Obsessive with food, us...even watch WAY too much Food Network. Mainly Alton Brown, Rachel Ray, and Iron Chef. In fact, Iron Chef gets watched every night before I go to bed. Sure, the only ones who make anything I consider edible are Chen and Kobe, and it's impossible to make any of that stuff, but damn if it's not so much fun to watch.
But yeah, guess we already been through the Iron Chef thread...
Sometimes we watch Emeril to bitch and moan about his unauthentic Louisiana cousine, and how we could make most of his dishes a million times tastier.

Well, you had an affinity with your ex and that's something that doesn't die with the person- it'll stay with you. Of course your boyfriend would like the certainty that he's number one in your life and doesn't see that reciprocated in the way he used to.... Yeah maarts this is definitely part of what's happening. It's not exactly resentment, cause that would be petty and he's really too sweet for that, but he definitely just seems frustrated with the whole situation. But the problem from my direction is that I don't feel comfortable talking to him about it, so as I've been feeling sad and he's around, he'll ask me if I want to talk, and just be like "no, I'm fine..." and I'll just try to suppress my sadness around him, and I have no doubt it's obvious to him that I'm hiding something, which then makes him frustrated. Meanwhile I've talked to my other friends about this a ton and they've been so great that it's made me sometimes wish they were around instead of him, and that's a crap thing to be feeling about your boyfriend. Couple of nights ago while he was here I felt totally stir-crazy and like I was just going to start freaking out, and didn't want him to see me freak out, so I insisted on going for a walk by myself, and he seemed really irritated that I wouldn't let him come with me... and on it goes. So here I am now actually relieved that it's the middle of the week so I won't see him until the weekend because it's become stressful having him around. This is such a mess..... *sigh* M |

it's not resentment, but him being aware that there was a part of your life that you had before him, and can't really share with him now. and it's probably just frustration and helplessness: he knows you're in pain, and wishes there was something he could do to help you, but knows that this is something you had with another person that you don't have with him, so there's just no way he can relate to you about it. or even if he could, it's gonna be awkward and strange, you sharing your feelings about an old boyfriend with your new boyfriend. there's just no easy way to do something like that.

I find it easier too to talk to good friends about things in my life than to people I really love- because those friends have been in my life for so much longer. For the same reason my sister talks to me about things in her life she doesn't want to talk about with her husband- we've been very close for so very long.
I think though that the longer you wait to talk to your friend about your feelings for your ex the more he's going to draw conclusions about the 'real' way you're feeling about him. He wants to help you! Even though you don't feel like it, would you want to risk building a mental wall between the two of you? It doesn't have to be gushing out everything and open your soul if you don't want to, but not shut him out completely- as the wise man said: "A drop of tenderness swallows an ocean". Just laying you head on his shoulder or talking that walk together gives him the feeling he's helping you already, letting him know that you're so confused about everything at least will tell him that it's not him who's to blame.
Men are fragile creatures when it comes to ego!
