current music: sufjan stevens - john wayne gacy, jr.
mood: sad
His father was a drinker
And his mother cried in bed
Folding John Wayne's T-shirts
When the swingset hit his head
The neighbors they adored him
For his humor and his conversation
Look underneath the house there
Find the few living things
Rotting fast in their sleep of the dead
Twenty-seven people, even more
They were boys with their cars, summer jobs
Oh my God
Are you one of them?
He dressed up like a clown for them
With his face paint white and red
And on his best behavior
In a dark room on the bed he kissed them all
He'd kill ten thousand people
With a sleight of his hand
Running far, running fast to the dead
He took of all their clothes for them
He put a cloth on their lips
Quiet hands, quiet kiss
On the mouth
And in my best behavior
I am really just like him
Look beneath the floorboards
For the secrets I have hid
the saddest song i've ever heard

Judge Judy gains in the court of public opinion
Kurt Vonnegut has climbed aboard the Justice Judy bandwagon.
"I'm all for Judge Judy for the Supreme Court," the 82-year-old novelist told me. "I don't want any other judges, just her. She is so fair-minded and so ideally American."
Vonnegut, the author of "Slaughterhouse-Five," "Cat's Cradle" and other best sellers, is joining columnist Richard Cohen - and me - in urging President Bush to consider television jurist Judy Sheindlin to fill one of the vacancies that will be left by the departures of Sandra Day O'Connor and Chief Justice William Rehnquist.
"She represents the authority of the state at its most humane and reasonable," Vonnegut said. "She represents an America that I would like to belong to."
Vonnegut told me he "got hooked on 'Judge Judy'" a few years back, when he was in Northampton, Mass., teaching at Smith College and recovering from the effects of smoke inhalation suffered in a house fire.
"She's a swell performer. But that's just fun. And she is very attracive, spiritually. I like the way she deals out justice."
Vonnegut, a self-described "New Deal Democrat," said he has no idea what Sheindlin's ideology is. "I'd like to hear what she'd have to say about abortion and gay marriage," he told me.
But as for skeptics who point out that presiding over a TV small-claims court is worlds away from sitting on the highest court in the land, Vonnegut answered: "There is no difference. She refers to the law again and again. American law is American law."

current music: mount eerie - (2 mountains)
mood: mixed
- i heart camp. this week, i attempted to make a vase, i started a stop motion animation movie, i'm in band, i learned to work a manual camera and develop film, and work a radio station. too bad i'm not good at anything.
-I went downtown with Stefan and played guitar one the sidewalks. It totally sucked for the most part. We got $22, a 98º cd, and a frappacino over the course of 4.5 hrs. One person gave us 10 dollars because they felt bad about how terrible we were. I literally played until my fingers bled.
-you know what i hate? when people tell me how happy they think i am. it happens more often then one would think.
