Snapshot: Listening, Watching, Reading, Wearing, Wanting
+ Kat
Listening: Unwound, New Plastic Ideas; some of those Toro Y Moi songs floating around the Internets; excavating more and more Fever Ray remixes; random mixtapes up at Resident Advisor
Watching: My Son, My Son, What Have Ye Done? which was bananas and a bit like Werner Herzog's Greatest Hits crammed into one film. I enjoyed it, but it didn't quite come together.
Reading: I finished William Gibson's Spook Country. Like My Son, My Son, it didn't quite come together for me at the end and I wasn't fully engaged with all the characters, but I love that feeling I get at the end of Gibson's work where I feel like I have a million awesome new topics to look up on Wikipedia. The man's wicked smart. Also: the Jessica Biel Vogue issue.
Wearing: For a week I totally forgot my Acne sweaterdress existed, but today I remembered and now I am wearing it!
Wanting: To see Pop Star on Ice and not be ashamed! Why did I not discover Johnny Weir earlier in my life? Such are the travails of not owning a television that can get channels!
I got this video of Johnny Weir performing to "Poker Face" from nogoodforme Inner Circle member Cathy de la Cruz and it's pretty much changed my life:
+ Liz
Listening: the songs I posted in Heavy Rotation yesterday; other songs
Watching: re-watching the very beautiful Go-Getter; Skate Witches
Reading: that New York excerpt from Game Change, about John and Elizabeth Edwards. In a word: BONKERS.
Wearing: Lakers tee + skinny jeans + cowboy boots + leather jacket + charm necklace
Wanting: NO MORE RAIN!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!!
Skate Witches! So stoked that my buddy Kate shared this on Facebook:
+ Laura Jane
Listening: Jay-Z, with a side of Jay-Z, and then a little Jay-Z thrown in for good measure
Watching: A string quartet play Beethoven (srsly)
Reading: True story: it takes me longer than one week to read a book
Wearing: I am forcing myself to wear my glasses every day until March 1st, 2010, for the sake of my eye health. Ugh! Life feels like second-grade all over again. My glasses are cool but I hate them. The one upside of my glasses is that they're Jay-Z-esquely named "The Tycoon," though I didn't name them that. Please don't think I'm such a huge cutesy loser that I'd nickname my own glasses. That's as wildly retarded as naming your own haircut Arthur.
Wanting: I wish "they" would pay me $50 per every clever thought I have. Also: NO MORE WINTER!!!!!!!!!

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..."
