Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting
+ Kat
Listening: My days recently have been musicless, which is a rarity.
Watching: However, I have been watching movies like mad: M. Hulot's Holiday, Shopgirl, House of Flying Daggers, The Baader-Meinhof Complex, and episodes of season 2 "30 Rock."
Reading: I just started William Gibson's Spook Country, which I am muy excited about!
Wearing: Yesterday I wore skirt and tights and a simple navy blue sweater and felt just right.
Wanting: I'm in low spirits today and I need to be set right. Needless to say, I'm waiting for the "big epiphany" that Susan Miller promised me to hit me on the head like a bunch of bricks and ruin my weekend.
In the meantime, I like watching this "Buffy vs. Edward" YouTube vid. It's totally made my week:
+ Liz
Listening: Warpaint, mostly because their EP was mixed by John "I Live To Break Barker's Heart" Frusciante
Watching: Paper Heart. I loved the part where the little girl says the perfect date is going to Applebee's for hot wings, but other than that - "meh." Also I keep meaning to tell you that I saw Medicine for Melancholy and thought it was tops.
Reading: Self-Help by Lorrie Moore; the JLo issue of Elle
Wearing: red plaid flannel + black tie-dyed tank + skinny jeans + big black boots
Wanting: On Wednesday a terrible, horrible, no good, very bad thing happened to me, and I would like to exact revenge on the person responsible. As I status-updated yesterday at 1:16 p.m., I'm seeking revenge ideas "more efficient than voodoo dolls but less dramatic than blowing up a house." Suggestions welcome!
Totes the best part of Paper Heart:
+ Laura Jane
Listening: "You Know What To Do" by Baby George Harrison
Watching: I srsly can't believe I haven't gone to see Avatar stoned yet. Will I EVER get my priorities straight?!?
Reading: I read a book called Brooklyn by Colm Toibin on Tuesday when I was eye infection-relatedly out of commission. It was boring, yet captivating. Now I am reading Zeitoun by Dave Eggers, which is slack-ly written. One paragraph contained too many "would"s, and it bothered me. He's not trying. He's resting on his "being a famous writer" laurels.
Wearing: Nothing to write home about
Wanting: It's that time of year again! January. When all I want is for winter to be over. "What do you feel like doing tonight?" people ask, and all I can think to say are things I'd want to do in July. In July, you can do anything. July is my real life.

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..."
I'm not totally sold on Spook Country as a whole, but Milgrim is probably my favorite character in any Gibson book I've read.
