Listening: Steven R. Smith, Sun City Girls, Pere Ubu, the Misfits, Lush, the The's Dusk Watching:Ever After (The Godfather for little girls); Miss Pettigrew Lives for a Day (frothy, silly and modestly awesome); CJ7 (a Chinese E.T.! What more could be better?); Paranoid Park (beautiful, elliptical and haunting) Reading: A lot of Chuck Klosterman at the moment. Also, the Bust with Eve on the cover, and Worldchanging: A User's Guide for the 21st Century Wearing: The new fancy t-shirt I DESIGNED (???!!!) at zazzle.com (made on an Edun Live t-shirt, natch); worn-to-death skinny jeans; worn-to-death vintage riding boots; long cardigan sweater from Vera Wang. Wanting: More time to Zazzle!

Listening: Smashing Pumpkins, Siamese Dream (why oh why does this album make so much sense to me right now? It's disconcerting/comforting); The Lemonheads, It's A Shame About Ray; The White Stripes, "It's My Fault for Being Famous"; Canned Heat, "Amphetamine Annie"; various songs off the Singles and Trainspotting soundtracks (esp. "State of Love and Trust" by Pearl Jam and "Mile End" by Pulp) Watching:In the Name of the Father (which I hadn't seen in a long time and which seems much more heartbreaking now, and I'm possibly even more in love with Daniel Day-Lewis here than I was when I was 15); End of the Century: The Story of the Ramones (also heartbreaking, albeit for very different reasons). And on a lighter note: Repo Man and, umm, the Will Arnett/"Mary Kate Olsen" sex tape. And this Bunnyshop post reminded me of the Dana Carvey stand-up special that played on Comedy Central, like, every hour of every day my senior year of college. This is my favorite clip, for the bit at the end where Dana sings "every Neil Young song you've ever heard." Reading: the Elle with Amy Adams on the cover and the "Who Says Women Aren't Funny?" issue of Vanity Fair Wearing: the latest addition to my hopefully continually expanding collection of flowy hippie-ish tops, purchased last night at the beautiful Glendale Galleria. And while shopping I made a wild discovery: You can drink beer at the mall! Or maybe that grizzled-looking biker dude just brought his own bottle of Budweiser - I'm not quite sure. Wanting: I want a severely faded grey t-shirt that's got a sort of marbley look to it and is printed with the crest of some important university. Do you catch my drift? I also want a pair of Vans, which I would pair with the coveted t-shirt and my Chip and Pepper cutoffs and wear all the time during the day once the temperature consistently stays in the mid- to upper-70s.

Listening: The Kingsmen; The Idle Race; The Easybeats; the Veronica Mars theme song Watching:Veronica Mars; live Flight of the Conchords videos on Youtube Reading:Journey to an 800 Number by EL Konigsburg; more Claudia-narrated Babysitter's Club books than you can imagine Wearing:THIS cutie-pie Eiffel Tower print jupe I fell in love with and bought for $5 at Value Village before realizing on the subway home that it's totally Agnes B. (pour Petites Filles)! SCORE!!! Wanting: A Whitney Biennial-related trip to New York; a haunted mansion-related trip to Savannah, Georgia; a "No more language barrier!"-related relocation to Toronto; FOR WINTER TO BE OVER (I am getting to a point where I genuinely believe that this will never happen)
