Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting
+ Kat
Listening: The Fiery Furnaces; the Wipers; Unwound; SANTOGOLD!!! which is utterly awesome and you can read my treatise about it next week; the imaginary soundtrack of the screenplay I'm outlining now which features everything from Sonic Youth to Bell Biv Devoe to Danzig. You can guess what kind of movie it will be. Or...can you?
Watching: A lot of short films in the Columbia University Film Festival. Go! Oh, and "Gossip Girl." Yes, people, I'm hooked!
Reading: I finished Jennifer Egan's Look at Me and I am really stunned by it. Not only is it an interesting novel of ideas about image culture and identity that would make Don Delillo proud, but it is set in my hometown of Rockford, Illinois. I mean, NO ONE writes about Rockford. It's amazing! I knew exactly what Egan was writing about in the novel when she mentioned something Rockfordian. It is a really uncanny feeling when you read a book that knows your hometown so well. I'm also in the middle of Raymond Carver's Cathedral and Snow by Orhan Pamuk. Someone wrote in once and asked me how I have time to read so much; well, I don't know -- I'm an insomniac and I read fast. That must help.
Wearing: Beau Soleil sweatshirt dress worn as an actual sweatshirt; Sworn Virgins leggings; brown suede slouchy boots.
Wanting: Oh, God, I cannot wait till I am done shooting my non-thesis film for school.

Listening: Richard Ashcroft, Alone with Everybody; Jane's Addiction; Cold War Kids; Bananarama; Roy Orbison; Yeasayer
Watching: Oh, mostly just Entourage and The Hills; what else is there, really?
Reading: I randomly picked up The List by Tara Ison off the shelf at the library the other day, read the first page, and decided to take it home. I like it so far.
Wearing: this dress
Wanting: a really old Jane's Addiction shirt and a tree bed

Listening: I woke up this morning and knew in my heart of hearts that nothing in the world would sound as good as Feelin' Groovy by Harpers Bizarre (the omission of an apostrophe in that band name drives me CRAZY, by the by), so I did, and guess what? I was RIGHT.
Watching: Eight billion episodes of Top Chef on Youtube; I hope Bravo doesn't read this and sue me.
Reading: A book so ridiculously uncool that I can't even talk about it for fear of damaging my reputation forever; The Penguin Pocket Rhyming Dictionary
Wearing: I am the luckiest person in the world because yesterday, after a lifetime spent wishing for a pair of legit Beatle boots, I found a pair for $40 at a creepy Payless knock-off-y place. So who even cares what else I'm wearing? I don't! I'm wearing BEATLE BOOTS!
Wanting: For my broken digital camera to be fixed so I can post the hundreds of thousands of No Good For Me posts that require its skills! And maybe an iPod Nano?

Liz's dream bed:
Here is a video of Harpers Bizarre performing "Feelin' Groovy" that will probably annoy everyone in the world except for me and possibly a few weirdo die-hard Harpers Bizarre fans who happened to stumble across this blog:
