Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting
+ Kat
Listening: Polvo, the Scorpions, Black Sabbath, Madonna. One of these things does not belong with the others.
Watching: I recently saw Summer Hours, the Olivier Assayas film, and I thought it was just wonderful. I was sort of over family dramas, but he's such a good filmmaker that the film managed to be both light on its feet and incredibly intelligent. I'm also still making my way through "South Park."
Reading: Chuck Klosterman IV: A Decade of Curious People and Dangerous Ideas, which is sort of my subway reading. For my real-reading, I decided to shelve I Am Charlotte Simmons for a moment and read instead Barbara Kingsolver's Prodigal Summer, which seems more seasonally-appropriate. But I might shelve that because I got a copy of Muriel Barbery's The Elegance of the Hedgehog waiting in the wings and I'm very excited to read it!
Wearing: A pair of skinny jeans, a tank top, a scarf, some beat-up Minnetonka moccasins. I need shoes I can kick off super-easily.
Wanting: This week it got hot, and coincidentally I started thinking about what I would like for fall.
+ Liz
Listening: I met Sir Star Child walking down Vine yesterday and he freestyled something about me shopping at Forever 21 in my cowboy boots. I am "Miss Red-Hot Liz." Also: a lotta Michael Jackson still, a lotta Bruce Springsteen still.
Watching: I'm way late on the Keyboard Cat uptake and have been trying to catch up. (BTW: I can't believe the Keyboard Cat is no longer with us! How sad!) And last weekend I saw Year One, which was so fucking terrible I can't even talk about it. It's cool that Felicia from the "Girlfriends" episode of Flight of the Conchords was in it, though, I guess.
Reading: Rapt by Winifred Gallagher
Wearing: As I Twittered at 10:48 a.m. on June 30, "this $23 forevs21 sundress is really working out for me so far: mega-comfy + makes strangers in cafes say nice things." ALL STILL TRUE.
Wanting: to try Ben & Jerry's horribly elusive Mission to Marzipan (sweet cream ice cream with almond cookies & a marzipan swirl!)
Helen Hunt does coke, then jumps out the window, then the Keyboard Cat shows up in a Hall & Oates video:
+ Laura Jane
Listening: The Small Faces; Muswell Hillbillies by the Kinks; Wings; Blueberry Boat by the Fiery Furnaces.
Watching: I watched 40 minutes of The Hangover and then walked out of the theater; all six installments of The Kinks on At the Rainbow, from 1972 (I think they might have been "At the Rainbow" again, in 1977? For Christmas?)
Reading: Pretty much nothing. I'm a stoner now, so I mostly just listen to music. Reading makes me sleepy.
Wearing: My shower is broken right now. My stance on it is "Awesome! Dirty hair is sexy! I wouldn't be caught dead with clean hair!" I'm a stoner now, so I mostly don't give a shit what I wear. I wear stoner clothes, and they look awesome. I love that black t-shirt dress thing in the picture below; I'm wearing it right now. It's convenient. I wear it every day. I like wearing yeller jumpers, too.
Wanting: Several billion dollars
I MEANT TO WRITE "SHIRT," BUT "SHIT" WORKS TOO:
Tags: Bruce Springsteen, cocaine, dirty hair, Forever 21, Helen Hunt, I don't care about dirty hair, ice cream, Laura Jane is a stoner, Laura loves the Kinks, smoking weed, The Fiery Furnaces, the Keyboard Cat, yeller jumpers

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..."
Um, my boyfriend caught a glimpse of Laura Jane's yellow jumper and then he proceeded to beat me with his penis. So no more Laura Jane for him!
