Well, at least one thing is on schedule:



Thanks to spooky.

Shania Twain- You're Still the One This was playing during an unbelievably unrelaxing massage I got in Budapest a few years ago. I was at the thermal baths, and it was only a couple of bucks more for a massage, so I was like, why not? The masseuse took a look at me, pointed at my bathing suit, and j...

Not that I'm pregnant or anything, but every once in a while I like to make a list of what I'd like to name a baby.

boy- Oscar (or Oskar), Luka, Hank, Jack, Malachi
girl- Agatha, Eve (or Eva), Ivy, Olivia, Annette

This is also fun: http://www.ssa.gov/OACT/babynames/

Yes, well, I don't drive, and it's Monday morning, and after a weekend of work, I'm still not done with the goddamn Renaissance! So it's off the terrace for me. At least the last thing I see will be this: http://www.shutterfly.com/osi.jsp?i=67b0de21b32124838407&notag=1 I can't believe I'm going ...

You can't bullshit a bullshitter. and That certain people, who want to get all emotional and too personal in PMs, can't be trusted. But you must have known, after posting a photo like that, that the declarations of love would come flooding in. I even wrote you a poem. Here it is: Oh, needle of bamb...

It's easier to ignore it.

The amount of cyber-leering on this board is about to go way down.

Sometimes, things are just really funny. If you're super-immature.

Ran into Sébastien last night. Put on a hugely unconvincing show of being mad, then kissed him and made him promise to call me (oh my God, I just typed " kill me" instead of "call me"). Then I saw a puddle at my feet, and realized it was my backbone, which had somehow melted away...

How adorable! My grandparents are coming up on their 71st wedding anniversary. Does that inspire you, Jackson?

I finished Gargantua! Hurrah! It's because La Maison de Balzac is the best place in the world to study. It's a library in Balzac's old house that has two kinds of books: books by Balzac, and books about Balzac. No Internet, no food, it's always the right temperature and always quiet. In fact, yester...

Well, yeah, so DD spazzed out and everything, whatever, but I don't know how much she was really into this boy to begin with. Correct me if I'm wrong, but sometimes just knowing that another girl wants a certain boy is enough to make his capital go soaring sky-high in another girl's eyes. Point: He ...

The thing is.....I'm addicted to using the phrase "Rabelaisian" to describe my mundane lifestyle. I'm not sure I understand why you do that, since all of his characters seem to be philosophizing giants whose kingdoms are under attack. Unless you spend five pages wiping your ass with vario...

Okay, the three I forgot:

Billy Bragg & Wilco- Mermaid Avenue
Pavement- Crooked Rain, Crooked Rain
Liz Phair- Exile In Guyville

No, I'm sorry, but Rabelais sucks. I know it's supposed to be so incredible that he mixes humanist thought with scatological humor, but do we really need a whole chapter of Gargantua telling his father about all the different things he wiped his ass with? It's making me anticipate reviewing Voltaire...

Belle & Sebastian- If You're Feeling Sinister
Cat Power- Moon Pix
EC- Brutal Youth
PJ Harvey- Rid Of Me
Pulp- Different Class
Sleater-Kinney- The Hot Rock
Yo La Tengo- I Can Hear the Heart Beating As One

There were three others when I figured this out in my bedroom this morning...

Basically, if I'm not done with the Renaissance by Saturday, I'm going to throw myself off my terrace.

I think gray hair above a youthful face (à la Steve Martin) is one of the coolest things ever, right up there with a gap in between the two front teeth. It was a mini-trend in New York for a while for young women to dye their hair gray. I loved it. My friend Dan (an O.R.G.A.S.M.) tried it and turned...

"Mulva?"

Cope: Yes. Sigh.

Dude, that is the funniest thing I have seen in my whole entire life. All twenty-four years, three months and three days. If I had my own computer, it'd be my wallpaper.

Satisfaction-Cat Power
Believe-Macha Bedhead
Get Into the Groove(y)-Sonic Youth

Hey, I loved your sonnet! But complimenting poetry always sounds fake to me. It's like when someone says, "do I look fat?"

SoLack, I don't even know where to begin. Let's just say after a whirlwind couple of weeks, and then another whirlwind week of trying to forget the first whirlwind couple of weeks, I am officially on the prowl again. And certain boys with big hands can go fuck themselves.

This is what I would like to know: -how did Gillibeanz and her partner reconcile after that huge fight? -did double dutchess ever make a move on the cute boy who was secretly semi-stalking her? -whatever happened with mars and his cute co-worker who wanted him to go to an EC concert with her? -are s...
