but i make up for it with cunning and guile
in other news: elliot smith died yesterday. and by "died," i mean "apparently committed suicide by way of a knife to the chest." this makes me sad as i felt that he was gifted. i am, however, not surprised, and all of this wailing and "what a shock" on mtv2 is so irritating. was anybody actually *surprised* that elliot fucking smith killed himself? i was surprised that he hadn't done it earlier, frankly. have you ever listened to any of his songs? i guarantee you, you slip in his s/t (the cover art for which appears to show people jumping from buildings) and i guarantee you will feel like killing yourself. now imagine how fucked up you have to be to write that sort of shadowy despair?
and also, why is it that i've yet to read an article that mentions his total smack-head-edness?
sigh.
i'm just sad. not mad. but really.

i read a few articles (i forget where, now) that discussed him and heroin and how recently he had become re-addicted (or whatever) to it. the same article mentioned the titles of his in-progress album and was like, "obviously he was way into heroin again." ... that's why when i posted the story yesterday (before they released the knife-wound stuff), i sorta figured he had o.d.'d and that it wasn't a suicide. o well.
