Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting
+ Kat
Listening: Animal Collective, Victoire, the Dream Syndicate, a bunch of other stuff I will tell you about soon
Watching: Crazy, hyper people go in and out of a restaurant bathroom getting more, ahem, crazy and hyper. Also: Bring It On, aka the best movie of all time after Barry Lyndon and Beau Travail.
Reading: I finally finished Ecology of Fear: Los Angeles and the Imagination of Disaster by Mike Davis, which was full of interesting info but got to be a bit of a slog -- till you got to the hilarious and sarcastic chapter on Angeleno disaster fiction. Also, I finished Mary McCarthy's Memories of a Catholic Girlhood, which was pure WIN. Mary McCarthy's so smart, dudes; that woman's intellect was sharp as a Ginzu knife. I am now starting The Luxe, by Anna Godberson, which is like reading a combination of Edith Wharton and "Gossip Girl." I predict I'll be done with it over the weekend and forget it by Monday.
Wearing: Maison Martin Margiela sweater, Uniqlo jeans, ballet flats, stripe-y scarf.
Wanting: A NEW GODDAMN BLOG PUBLISHING PLATFORM GODDAMN GODDAMN!!!!
+ Liz
Listening: "Foundations" by Kate Nash, a lot a lot a lot. And the Catherine Hardwicke edition of KCRW's Guest DJ Project, which is so wonderful. I can't wait to turn into Catherine Hardwicke when I grow up.
Watching: Happy-Go-Lucky, which I loved so much. I want lace tights! And a bike!
Reading: I accidentally picked up Less Than Zero the other night and read the whole thing in one sitting. It's still great.
Wearing: Iron Maiden Vans + skinny jeans + short-sleeve grey hoodie + new blue beanie (yay!)
Wanting: Lace tights! And a bike! And some new running shoes - these'll do quite nicely!
+ Laura Jane
Listening: Holy Ghost Language School; Holy Ghost Language School; Holy Ghost Language School; "Free Advice" by the Great! Society (isn't it cool when you've listened to a song like 50,000,000 times, and then you finally figure out how the lyrics go, and it totally reinvigorates the listening process?)
Watching: Synecdoche, New York, which is (in my opinion) crappy crapskies craps; The Hills (Audrina is really growing on me); Season 3 of Dexter; something else, possibly
Reading: Is Drew Barrymore the Ben Affleck of Romantic Comedies? (I'm barely reading that, but I like the sentence); Ben Affleck's bio on IMDB; cuteotters.com; Martha Stewart's KICKASS Twitter
Wearing: I've been trying really hard to wear clothing that isn't my Paul McCartney t-shirt, but am yet to succeed. Actually, that's a lie: right now I'm wearing a black tank top, but only because I wore it underneath my Paul McCartney t-shirt last night.
Wanting: I've decided that I want Seth Meyers to be my boyfriend. I mean, I've known this for a really long time, but I was in hardcore denial about it until this past Wednesday. Now, it's all I think about. Seth Meyers is the new Michael Showalter. They even have inverse initials! Let's all put our heads together and figure out a way to make Seth Meyers fall in love with me! Anybody?
THE CLOVERS AWESOME ROUTINE FROM "BRING IT ON." GABRIELLE UNION IS SO GONNA KICK YOUR ASS (Apparently you can more easily post copyrighted material on YouTube if you name it with a foreign language):
"FOUNDATIONS" BY KATE NASH
(Why have I never watched this video before? It's so delightful!)
Here is Seth Meyers sporting a dashing red tie/camel sportcoat combo. The dude on Seth Meyers' right is Josh Meyers, Seth Meyers' older brother. I cannot figure out if Josh Meyers is attractive in an accountant-y way, or creepy.
Would a dude who dated Rashida Jones date me?
Here is Seth Meyers with some other dudes who I generally like. Will Arnett looks hotter than Seth Meyers in this picture, but Seth Meyers looks hotter than Andy Samberg. Actually, who doesn't look hotter than Andy Samberg in this picture?
Tags: Ben Affleck, Bret Easton Ellis, Bring It On, Kate Nash, Martha Stewart, Mary McCarthy, Matthew Friedberger, Michael Showalter, Mike Leigh, Movable Type can suck it, Rashida Jones, Seth Meyers, Seth Meyers should date Laura Jane Faulds, Vans

Say something so insightful and witty, it will blow us away. (No pressure.)
Got something to say? We'd love to hear it! Name, email and "type in the weirdo drunken text" thingie are all required to comment; don't worry, we won't email you or anything, we just want to make sure you're not an evil spambot. Keeping in mind the good-times mentality we like to keep going here, we've worked hard to keep NOGOODFORME.COM as fun as possible. We welcome all kinds of comments, but insults/abuse/general bitchery are not tolerated. In other words, we put the smackdown on evil troll posts. If you want to be a hater, please go elsewhere. Now, as Salt 'N Pepa say, "Only the sexy people..."
LJ, Trevor Stark is a DEAD RINGER for Seth Meyers. Why don't you just go back in time so you are dating a reasonable facsimile of Seth Meyers?

Trevor looks nothing like Seth Meyers. Trevor looks like young John Kerry. Case closed.
