Barcade Pup

Last night I went to Barcade and some guy came up to me, introduced himself (Chad), shook my hand, and then bowed his head and started licking my hand. Like a puppy. Weird? I think so.

Deerhoof 7:30 tonight at The Bowery Ballroom!

I know, I'm going to be late. fuck.

House Guest

This living with some friends thing is fun. For now. Right now it's like the first week of sleepaway camp where everything is a party and we're all happy to be together. We haven't gotten sick of eachother's habits yet and nothing is annoying, yet. I really want to find a place pronto before the fun wears down though. I've been looking way downtown but today I decided that I'm going to look in Williamsburg too. I don't know why I didn't think to look there sooner, and it really does make sense considering that half of my firends live there. So heres to finding better luck on the other side of the bridge.

Ted Leo!

Ted Leo & the Pharmacists will tour with Duke Spirit starting March 2nd!
NYC dates:

M.I.A., Me

I haven't been around much lately. That's an understatement, but moving on I'm going to do a quick catch-up.
What I've been up to:
Saw Broken Social Scene play twice. Great concerts.
Profusely bar hopped. Like usual.
Saw "Capote" again. Still good the second time around.
Saw "The Baxter" on DVD. Not amazing, but cute.
Started reading "Story Of My Life" by Jay McInerney. The main character Alison reminds me a little too much of myself. It's scary. i feel as if he wrote the book about me. I'm only on page 30 so I don't know if by the end of the book i will still feel this way, but so far it's a close match.
Watched Project Runway. (obviously)
Moved in with 2 friends. I still need a place STAT. Any leads? More on this living situation tomorrow....

PR Picks

Who I want to win: Daniel V.

Who I want to be in the top 3: Daniel, and Santino or Nick or Andrae or Chloe. Definately DV, and 2 out of the 4 just listed.

Who i want to leave pronto: Kara. She seems lovely but her designs just aren't as good as the other 5.

Who i want to F: SANTINO. and DV. Daniel is beautiful and for some reason I want to jump Santino's bones. i spoke to my mom tonight and she agrees with both.

BSS 7:30 tonight at Webster Hall!!!!
also tomorrow and Sat.
All sold out, but tonight's was an add on, so a lot of people already had tix to tomorrows and Sat's, then bought for tonight, and may want to get rid of their tix to the later ones.

I'll be back to blogging tomorrow.

1/24/2006

Move

I'm moving. My lease is up on the 26th and I haven't found anything yet, so I'm going to be staying with 2 friends until something pops up.
Lucky them.
I'll be back in 2 days.

SNL & THE STROKES

I just watched the episode of SNL that I Tivo'd and it sucked. Exept for The Strokes. They were amazing.
I miss old school SNL when the episodes were actually funny. The writers that they have now are fucking up the show. Badly.

Talking about The Strokes; NYC - Hammerstein Ballroom - March 3rd!!!!!!!!!!

Heard Em Say

Why did Kanye West and Adam Levine make a new video for "Heard 'Em Say" when they already had a perfectly fine video for that song???

1/20/2006

PR blog?

I think that I'm the last Project Runway fan to know about this amazing blog.
Blogging Project Runway has everything about this show. reviews, cast member articles, and all of that other stuff that I'm not talented enough to find.

I'm off th the Fader party at Tonic tonight. Should be fun. Free Red Stripe btwn 8-9. But honestly, who wants to go out that early. 8 o clock? No thanks. I'll get there at a more normal time and buy my own stripe. Or i could always find someone who would be more than willing to get one for me.

Project Runway Recap by Dan

Dan Renzi takes on the role of his brother and writes some hilarious Project Runway recaps every week.
Rather then add my own input to the hundreds of bad recaps, I'll supply you with someone else's good recap.

Dan's hilarious PR recap

Last Nigt

After typing that title I needed to put on that song by The Strokes.

So last night everything happened as predicted. Dinner was a mess. 2 hours felt like 4. Post dinner was even worse. We went back to my g-parents house and he presented them with a tropical fruit basket. He then took each fruit and explained what it was and how it benefits your health and what vitamins each contain. There was opera music playing and the 40 year old virgin talked and talked about himself in a monotone dron for what seemed like forever. I can't forget his accordion wallet with about 20 pictures of his 2 cats. Definately the hi-light of my night.

The car ride back to the train station? 40 year old left and it was just me and the grandparents. Oh, but I wasn't "safe". I had to hear about what a nice boy he is and how I'm a fool for not taking the bait.

1/19/2006

Why today sucks

In 2 hours from now i will be making my way to Penn Station to catch a train on the LIRR to have dinner with my grandparents plus one. Seeing my g-parents isn't the part I'm not happy about. I love them and I make a point to call them a few times a week, and I visit them a few times a month. I have issues with the fact that this needs to be done on a Thursday night and that they need to drag along a plus one for me.

Thursday is my absoulte favorite night to go out. All my friends go out on Thursdays, there is no bridge and tunnel crew on Thursdays, and the best partys in my opinion are hosted on Thursdays. Sad to say, tonight I will not be pregaming at the Coffee Shop like I do on most Thursday nights, nor will I be able to go to Don Hills to check out Brad Wlash's party

The worst part: My grandparents think that it's time that I settle down and start a family, and they took it upon themselves to arrange this. They hand picked a top notch nerd for me who is single and lonely and is tired of relying on his two cats for companionship. This guy really is a 40-year old virgin, and the saddest part is that he considers my grandparents, two 70 year old senior citizens, to be his best friends. Yes, this is the guy that they would like to set me up with to grow old with and to reproduce with.

So now besides missing my faovrite party night I need to sit with this guy at a table all ngiht and act not interested yet polite. In no way would I ever ever ever consider bedding this man. First he's 40! Thats practically double my age. next he has no social skills, cannot function normally in society, and is not pleasing to look at. I'm not shallow, but this guy does not believe in prober hygene and grooming which is a no go in my book.

I'm getting fustered thinking about what a disaster tonight will be, and how nagged I will be by my g-parents after I reject their choice of a suitor for me. Just because they as well as my parents wed at the young age of 21, does not mean that i must follow in their footsteps.

I hope that everyone else's night is better than mine will be...

The night of April 27th is Tropfest @ Tribeca which is a viewing of 16 different shorts. Sounds fun, and this night it's FREE.

1/18/2006

more Project Runway

I think that all NY bloggers posted double their normal amount of posts today.
Why?? Maybe because of this cold, windy, rainy weather that we have today that goes right through you and chills your bones for hours that not even a warm sweater can fix.

I admit that I have a small obsession with Project Runway and spent the past 30min of my life reading anything PR that I can find online.

In case anyone else cares, Santino has a Blog and Emmett has an under construction website

Also, Emmett is opening a store in NOLITA. 240 Elizabeth St. to be exact.

PROJECT RUNWAY!!

It's Weds. which means that a new episode of Project Runway aka. the only Tv show that i watch is on tonight!!
I suck at reviews, but I'll post a link to a good one later.

Interviews with Nick and Andrae

Urban Outfitters = fake

Since when is it OK to rip off the designs of another desinger?

never!!

I guess someone forgot to tip off Urban Outfitters about that rule.
Urban blatantly ripped off Johnny Cupcake's design. I mean how cool is that?? (sarcasm)

On my mind..

I feel like my mind has been racing a million miles a minute with little pieces of nothing all day and it's making me jittery. Maybe writing a list will help?

Probably not

- Why is nothing good on TV today?
- Why has every channel been covering the Golden Globes today when it happened yesterday?
- Why does every blog have boring Golden Glob pictures and nothing actually interesting to read?
- Why is my book order from amazon.com taking forever to arrive?
- Will I find a new apt. before the 26th? (no)
- I'm totally screwed and have no idea what I'm going to do when i don't find an apt. (fuck)
- Will I get laid tonight? because I really need to
- By whom will I get laid by?
- Which bar will I wind up at tonight?
- When am I going to call back the guy that I've been avoiding? I know that the longer I avoid him the more akward it will be when I bump into him somewhere. (It will happen. soon. fuck.)

and lastly,

-Why was Jake Gyllenhaal not at the Golden Globes last night? He was the only reason I stayed in to watch the show instead of going out with the crackwhores.

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah

Clap Your Hands Say Yeah will perform at the Bowery Ballroom on April 14th and 15th!

Golden Globes



The good: Brokeback Mountain won for best picture!

The bad: Jake Gyllenhaal seemed to be M.I.A.

The ugly: The puff puff ruffle sleeves on Gwyneth Paltrow's dress

Movies: Proof + The Squid and the Whale

In the past 2 day I've these 2 movies and they were both fab.
I understand that I have a sick obsession with seeing movies and that I would be able to buy alot more clothes if I didn't waste $10.75 on each movie ticket a few times a week, but I can't help it. Plus sometimes I have this sexy brazillian pay for me. He's my movie buddy. Sometimes.

I'm not sure which movie I liked more. Squid was more of a comedy and Proof was drama. I think I have to vote for Proof- but only becauce Jake is in it. In my opinion Squid was lacking in the eye candy department.

apparently word on the street is that she's pregnant or engaged or something like that.

Tom Vek. OC

Tom Vek on the OC

Ambidextrous singer/songwriter Tom Vek will dash over from the U.K. to record a few live appearances in New York and tape an episode of The OC in L.A. January 15. Fueled by the buzz over his late-2005 release We Have Sound (StarTime International), the tiny Londoner will record a live set at 2 p.m. today, January 12, for New York station WNYC, before hitting MTV tomorrow to tape an episode of Subterranean, to be shown next week. He'll then be spinning records at Misshapes January 14, following in the footsteps as such celebrity Misshapes DJs as Madonna, Bloc Party and Franz Ferdinand. The singer will then fly to L.A. to tape a live performance of his song "C-C" for the 90210 of the oughts, The OC The episode will air March 16.
Ok. So I have another boy problem.

I met this nice guy about 2 weeks ago. Scratch that. I saw someone I semi knew from a few years back who had a group of nice people with him. My friends and I hit it off with these people and we’ve been going out together for the past few weeks. The guy I knew was visiting from LI but all of his friends live in Manhattan and one in the group took a special liking to me.

Last night before we went to Blue and Gold we went out for some quick dinner. I thought it was just strictly for nourishment but he thought of it as a date. He insisted on paying and then to kill time btwn dinner and bar we went to a different bar for a drink.

I do not flirt with him, I act the same to him as I do to his friends, and I don’t lead him on, but for some reason he wants to “be serious” with me. How can you be serious with someone that you have never kissed? This isn’t middle school.
I have no attraction to this guy and the more I think about kissing him the more sick I feel. Tonight I went to a different bar than him with a turned off phone just so that I couldn’t receive any of the immature “I like you texts” I mean who the fuck sends those nowdays. Are we 12?

I need to tell him that I don’t like him that way STAT and there is no easy way to do it rather than to flat out say “I don’t like you that way.” He’s a drama queen who will make this into a huge thing and our new group will have a rift in it. Why did the least normal one out of a group of 5 have to irrationally become attached? (NO Kiss! Nothing)
Go figure.
These past few days have been non-stop. I think that tomorrow is going to be one of those sleep in forever and never go out, catchup on sleep days.

All of this week’s shows were incredible, and I chose Imogen over Morningwood, but only because I’ve been listening to her longer, and I had no other way to make a decision
(b/c their both great)

And now for the finalists for the New Pantheon Music Awards
Animal Collective's "Feels" (Fatcat)
Antony and the Johnsons' "I Am a Bird Now" (Secretly Canadian)
Fiona Apple's "Extraordinary Machine" (Epic)
the Arcade Fire's "Funeral" (Merge)
Bloc Party's "Silent Alarm" (Vice/Atlantic).
Death Cab For Cutie's "Plans" (Atlantic)
the Decemberists' "Picaresque" (Kill Rock Stars)
Kings Of Leon's "Aha Shake Heartbreak" (RCA)
M.I.A.'s "Arular" (XL/Beggars Banquet)
Sufjan Stevens' "Illinois" (Asthmatic Kitty)

1/11/2006

The Ben Gibbard concert was amazing. I'm v. happy that I found last minute tickets to that.

coming up:
tomorrow- Imogen Heap OR Morningwood
Thurs- We are Scientists

How much does it suck that 2 good concerts are tomorrow.? I still don't know which one I'm going to.

1/09/2006

I just got a quick high from my vibrator and I think that it's kinda sad that this device can get me off more than a guy, sometimes. Sometimes meaning now, 3 in a row.

1/08/2006

I just got back from my first vacation of 2006. South Beach. I'm not too sure which adjetive would be sufficient to describe this trip, but I'm also not too sure if I even remember these past 5 days of my life.

One big blur.

There, I just summed 5 days up in 3 words. Enough said for now.

I have a very questionable living situation right now which I need to change ASAP. I'm off to look at apts. I would elaborate, but it's too pathetic for me to even bitch about. But trust me, once I find a new place and can laugh about this sad sad situation, you will be entertained with stories of my August 2005- (hopefully) Feb 2006 apt.

"Where the hell is my chiffon?!?!"

Deflintely the best line of the show.

Project Runway = my new obsession. I'm hooked. It's so weird that I'm so into this because I haven't religiously watched a TV show since I was in 9th or 10th grade.

So the Socialite episode...

- Guadelupe's dress was fucking ugly. I really felt bad for her model, having to wear that mess not only in public, but to Marquee, and in front of the fabulous Heatherette duo, Richie and Traver.
- I already loved this show, but putting Heatherette in the background just boosted it's stock in my book. Talking about Heatherette, Daniel V's creation looks like something that could be straight out of their Living Dolls Collection.
- Nicky seemed bored.
- My favorite dress was Andrae's.
- In my opinion; Chloe, Santino, Nick, and Daniel V. are the ovreall best.
- I'm amazed at how quickly they conjure/make these garmets. A little over a day and it goes from paper to the model. Especially Santino's latest creation. That shit was detailed. It looks like it took him weeks to make that.
- Santino is an asshole, but I don't hate him. He's funny, he makes good TV, and he seems cool. Yea, I'm a Santino fan, Bitch.

P.S.- who said the great great line "Where the hell is my chiffon?!?!

1/04/2006

Yesterday I gave a blow job to a hot canadian in the pool house. Today I woke up to a long text message from "S", this guy who I was in a kinda relationship with a month ago. He told me how much he misses me and how he needs to see me soon. Ugh I feel so guilty for some reason.
I'll have to deal with S when I get back to Ny becuase right now I have dinner with my north of the border, nip ring wearing, vacay boyfriend.

1/03/2006

achoo. I picked up a cold sometime duing my plane ride here. It sucks. The plane ride sucked too. All I wanted to do was listen to my ipod, but the guy sitting next to me kept talking to me for 3 fucking hours about how "in" Antik and True Religion jeans are, and how necessary it is to own a sidekick II. He really needs to get over himself STAT.

Tomorrow is the orange bowl which is a big deal here in S.Florida, and also to the Penn State kids who flew down for the occasion. There was a pre-party on the beach which was interesting. I missed the beginning, which was the designated time slot for FSU, but I made it in time for the Penn State sector, which seemed to me like a Frat Boy's Delight, totally not my style, you know how lame I think they are. Getting smashed and dancing. Only difference was that we were on the beach, and there was live music provided by Reuben Studdard and Ciara.

I'm too stuffy to settle down and sleep, and I know that this is probably going to make my cold worse. Bravo just had a Project Runway marathon, which I watched in full and I can now say that this show is my new obsession. The only problem is this Santino guy. His designs are nice sometimes, but his personality is seriously lacking. The lingere incident also made me loose a lot of respect for his design ability. That lingere line just wasn't good. I would run if a girl was in bed with me wearing that shit.

1/02/2006

any reccomendations of places to eat in South Beach/Miami are greatly appreciated!

1/01/2006

I wish I could post a long entry, but right now I need to pack because I’m leaving early tomorrow morning to go to South Beach!!

P.S. This is how I choose to live my life, so if you don’t approve of it I’m sorry to offend you, but I rather live it up when I’m young than miss out and be miserable and look back on life with the feeling of an unfulfilled youth.

Number of lines: 2
Number of lines taken off of my body by someone else: 2
