Some Things I Love

1. Gothic Dolphins!

(via)

2. Thurston Moore’s High School Yearbook Photo/Entry

(via Laura Jane Faulds’s Tumblr and while you’re there read this great paragraph she wrote)

3. This Cute Picture I Had Up In My Locker In Twelfth Grade

Another Laura with a really good Tumblr posted it on my Facebook wall the other day, and I made the brilliant comment that “high-school lockers are proto-Tumblrs.” God I’m good.

5. Stainglasses!

(via)

6. Scamming Free Wine On Red-Eye Flights

Easy as pie, but I’m always so proud whenever I pull it off.

7. Bored To Death

I wanted to hate it, I did! Mostly because I occasionally suffer from “oppositional personality disorder,” and also because I will never get over the loathsomeness of some article Jonathan Ames wrote about Marilyn Manson for Spin magazine like 87 years ago. But Bored To Death is delightful; Jason Schwartzman is the most adorable human. The voice-changer bit in this scene makes me LOL forevs:

8. Madonna Smoking Cigarettes In Jail

Never gets old.

9. Vinnie’s “Pugs Not Drugs” T-Shirt

I missed you, Vincenzo. I didn’t know how much I missed you.

10. I’m Going To New York Tomorrow!

To see Wild Drag, and possibly eat a tequila snow cone. I feel like this:

Some Things I Love (And One Thing I Hate)

1. My friends Liz and Katie, who are getting married very soon and I really want you to vote for them in this Marriage Equality Wedding Giveaway contest thing deal. You know Katie; she’s DJ Freak Illness and she’s written for nogoodforme.com and for McSweeney’s. VOTE NOW AND FOREVER. We love you and you love love.

2. I’m going to see Sonic Youth and Wild Flag and Kurt Vile next Friday in Brooklyn, are you?

3. Wu-Tang Pizza; baby alpacas:


(Both via the Brite Futures Tumblr, which is a really good Tumblr. I’m going to tell you more about Brite Futures someday…in the brite future.)

4. Also from the Brite Futures Tumblr, Count Snoop:

5. The Hoot Hoot I Scream Hut, which doesn’t exist anymore. It was an L.A. ice cream shop run by a woman named Tillie Hattrup, and the owl’s head rotated and its eyes blinked. Actually a little terrifying.

6. This picture of Johnny Depp and Kate Moss, from Vintage Everyday. That’s a good look for Kate.

7. I’m going home to Massachusetts next week and I like to watch the Dom video for “Living in America” over and over cuz it was shot in my hometown and cuz it’s wild and dumb and beautiful. Dom has a new record coming out next week and I love the song “Some Boys” and there’s a review of the album in the Kurt Cobain issue of Spin, which stupidly identifies Dom as being from Dorchester. DOM ARE FROM WORCESTER. Dom are not from Dorchester. Fact-checking’s not that hard, Spin. Get it together. Also, your Nevermind nostalgia makes me want to shoot myself in the head. Soooooooooooooo totally trite.

8. Jersey Shore starts tonight, guys! I’ve missed Pauly so much. Hi Pauly.

Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting

+ Kat

Listening: Lykke Li, La Sera, Iron Maiden.
Watching: I’m totally going to see Jane Eyre and Red Riding Hood. It’s a sweeping-across-the-landscape-in-dramatic-costumes weekend. Plus: werewolves, of course. Rochester’s kind of like a spiritual werewolf, right?
Reading: I finally finished that Paul Haggis. vs. the Church of Scientology article in the New Yorker and WHOA THAT WAS PRETTY EPIC. Also finished The Stand and then had a crazy dream about nuclear apocalypse.
Wearing: The winter-into-spring transition is always really confusing. I have a Lyell blouse under this crazy shaggy cardigan, with jeans and riding boots.
Wanting: If it is truly going to be 50 degrees tomorrow, then I AM GOING TO RIDE AN ARABIAN HORSE NAMED ALLIE!

This is sort of what Allie looks like. Next to Icelandic horses, who get the distinction of being the most adorable horses in the world, I love the expressions on Arabians’ faces, they are a particularly knowing and intelligent breed.

+ Liz

Listening: Dom! And the Wild Flag cover of “Ask the Angels” by the Patti Smith Group.
Watching: I saw that movie with Liam Neeson and Betty Draper like two weeks ago or something, I think.
Reading: the New York interview with Bernie Madoff (just can’t get enuf)
Wearing: Oh last night at Target I bought the cutest dress for five bucks!
Wanting: a copy of the January issue of Playboy, so I can read “Notes on Jersey Shore” by Bret Easton Ellis

Speaking of Bret Easton Ellis, here is a photo of my copy of Less Than Zero, which I’ve had since 1990. The cover got trashed in a snowball fight:

+ Laura Jane

Listening: White Noise, An Electric Storm
Watching: Like a billion episodes of Friends from the season where Rachel first gets pregnant with Emma. Last night was when Joey starts to develop feelings for Rachel. I really like that plotline, although it means that Aisha Tyler as Charlie is lurking just around the corner and I can’t really deal with that. It’s hard for me to watch Ross Geller date anyone who isn’t Rachel Green or myself.
Reading: This short story John Lennon wrote about me:

It’s about my death.
Wearing: Nothing good, that’s for sure!
Wanting: Bro time with my bro, this guy

Random Picture Entry: Paul “Snickers” McCartney

Remember that time on Jersey Shore when Snooki was really hungover and went to work wearing a Mexican blanket and her froggie slippers? I think that’s the look Paul’s going for here.

Next I wanna see him running down the boardwalk, yelling “WHERE’S THE BEACH? WHERE’S THE BEACH????”

I Am Obsessed with the Regatta Scene from The Social Network

Last night I watched The Social Network, which, on the whole, really epitomized the concept of “6.5/10.” Justin “Napster Man” Timberlake was one of the least lovable characters I’ve observed all century, and I really hated his hair. There were so many tight curls in that movie! Tight curls overload. That being said, Jesse Eisenberg has beautiful bone structure, and that sandwich the Winklevoss twins gave him at the beginning of the movie (on a baguette) looked delicious. And who doesn’t get a kick out of saying the words “Winklevoss twins”? Find me one person in the world who doesn’t like saying “Winklevoss twins,” and I’ll eat my hat.

All this curly-haired nonsense aside, however, the regatta scene (alternately, the “Henley Sequence”) is, in the words of Deena from Jersey Shore and Liz, MY BEST THING. It’s so sexy and green and evil and fast-paced, and really has nothing to do with the entire rest of the movie in any way, which in this case is a good thing. I hope they make a sequel to The Social Network about the Winklevoss twins’ adventures at the Beijing Olympics that looks exactly like an extended version of the Henley/regatta sequence/scene.

PS: I just remembered I also liked the part when the lawyer added up $18,000 and $1,000, and then Mark “Generally Loathable” Zuckerberg checked the math. Nice John Lennony asshole spirit, Mark Zuckerberg.

Jersey Shore S3, with Special Guest Stars…The Beatles!

Wouldn’t it be so funny if you “tuned into” the season premiere of Jersey Shore tonight and all the dude cast members had been replaced by the Beatles? I’d say there’s at least a 23 percent chance of that happening. So, a la our exhaustive and amazing “Mad Men Season 4, with Special Guest Stars…The Beatles!” post, here’s a very scientific matching of the Beatles with the Guidos, to get you prepared, just in case. It’s really easy, actually: John Lennon is the big show (“The Situation,” if you will); Pauly D is Pauly McC (That smile! Such killer charm!); Vinny’s all George Harrison-judgy about GTL; and Ronnie’s the one who brings the least to the table.* If you can figure out the girl half of the house, you win at everything.

JOHN LENNON AS THE SITUATION

PAUL MCCARTNEY AS PAULY D

GEORGE HARRISON AS VINNY

RINGO STARR AS RONNIE

*This is the meanest thing Liz has ever said about Ringo Starr in her life, and she feels so bad about it.

Dream Dude: Vinny from “Jersey Shore.” Seriously.

I am in love with Vinny from Jersey Shore. I think he’s a great guy, and two days ago, he Twittered “Humans are filthy creatures,” which I thought was very profound.

Because he’s the best person ever, Vinny recently made one of those It Gets Better videos. To quote Vinny, “Haters are like puppy dogs…just let them bark n and whine ,eventually they’ll run out of negative energy.”

PS: I’m not joking. I really am in love with Vinny from Jersey Shore, especially when he wears his glasses.
