Random Video Entry: Stella, "Le Vampire"
After June, October is easily the second-grooviest month of the year. John Lennon's birthday, wack-attack Libra/Scorpio vibes in effect, & have y'all tried Ginger Gold apples yet? Oh my God. Like Golden Delicii, only softer, and with a ginger kick! This weekend is Canadian Thanksgiving, which means I get to eat my Dad's sweet potatoes tonight, and I'm STOKED. I am thankful for sweet potatoes, my friends, my family, my great eyebrows, Paul McCartney, Coffee Crisp bars* and Hallowe'en!
Hallowe'en is on its way! Hallowe'en is the best holiday. Compared to Hallowe'en, all the other holidays totally blow and aren't even worth mentioning. This senseless wild night where we embrace wickedness, with CANDY and COSTUMES and it is socially acceptable to throw eggs at your enemies' dumb houses! For once! If I ever have a kid, I'm going to rig my pregnancy so that my first-born daughter is a Hallowe'en Scorpio, just like Adam "Ad-Rock" Horovitz. I am really into dragging out Hallowe'en festivities for the entire month of October, just like the tarot card reader on Dundas Street, who recently put up a sign in her window reading "Wicked Witch Way," which I think should be the name of a Mary Timony song.
Anyway, let us all celebrate a twenty-days early Hallowe'en this sunny autumn Sunday by watching this sick Scopitone vid for Stella's "Le Vampire", because if there's one thing everyone in the world can agree on, it's that bubbly French girl pop from the sixties is kinda officially "the shit." This song has a killer Hallowe'en bent, features shrieky back-up vocals from a ghost, Stella is wildly adorable, and, over the course of my writing this sentence, I just decided that the dancey vampire dude in all black fake-playing a fake giant guitar is my Dream Dude. Spooky!!!
*I just want to say a few words about Coffee Crisp bars right now. Dear Residents of the United States of America: I pity you. America is a candy bar wasteland. No Caramilks, no Aeros, no COFFEE CRISPS. When I was a little kid, I hated Coffee Crisps, because I was a little kid, and hadn't acquired my now-passionate taste for coffee yet, so I would give all my Hallowe'en-stash Coffee Crisps to my Dad. "Coffee Crisp bars are for grown-ups," I would think. AND NOW I LOVE COFFEE CRISP BARS SOOOOOOOO MUCH! Which means I'm a grown-up. Awesome!

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..."
a few things:
-i really think you should write 'wicked witch way' and give it to mary timony.
-one of my high school BFFs is a halloween-born scorpio and totes lives up to it.
-i wonder what the dancey vampire dude is doing now? he's really hot. i like this song even though bubbly french girl pop from the sixties actually isn't my cup of tea at all.

We barely celebrate halloween here :( it's one of the least recognised holidays we have, and every year this fact guts me. Deeply. I've never once dressed up for halloween!!!

monday-friday i smoke a joint/bowl during 1st period (shortly followed by a cigarette, generally a marlboro light or a parliament) then go to the library and listen to the beatles and read nogoodforme.com. It's the best way to spend any first period EVER.
also, halloween rocks.
