Sincerely wishing ABC would allow Ugly Betty's look to evolve



Betty's only been busting her ass at a high fashion mag for, what, 3 or 4 years now? And sister owns a beauty salon? Hasn't crossed Betty's mind even once to thin that mess out with layers, or maybe pick up a flat iron?

Also, when the hell are those braces coming off? What sort of crooked mess takes 4 adult years to fix? Invisalign hasn't hit Mode mag's radar yet?

 
 

Hey remember the time Andy Gibb serenaded Punky Brewster in her living room?

Me either. But it happened.

GOODLINKS: a weekend round up from across the web

 
 

Just a normal, non-psychotic list of things I totally f'ing hate right now


It is not weird at all to spend time drawing up a list like this.


  1. Jamaican couple next door that wakes up extra-early lately to argue & yell "For WHAT? For WHAT?" 1 hour before my alarm goes off

  2. Jamaican couple's toddler who f'ing WAILS about not wanting to go wherever they're going every time she leaves the apartment

  3. Linebacker-sized Dads at the Nada Surf show who blocked my view & then asked me, "Wanna be on the internet?"

  4. James Franco for never having sex with me

  5. Pajamagrams

  6. Parents of former classmates I didn't know friend-requesting me over & over on Facebook

  7. My dinosaur necklace, for actually being a lizard necklace

  8. Batman, the Dark Knight

  9. New Jersey guido dudes

  10. Charlotte Gainsbourg for being 100x more beautiful & awesome than me

  11. My embarrassing desktop computer's refusal to die, thus preventing my laptop dreamz from coming true

  12. Morning Boy, whatever

  13. Dude who danced around my building with a boom box for 2-3 hours

  14. British dudes, I guess

Hmmm which one of these haircuts should I get?

My choices are narrowed down to these ones, finally. Just having trouble deciding between them. Help??

This Miranda July quote is my favorite of alltime

"Just because something's uncomfortable doesn't mean it's wrong. And just because you have your doubts about what you're doing, or you don't trust yourself 100 percent, that's normal. There's this illusion that people who do stuff are totally confident, and I've never been. I've been riddled with doubt through the whole thing. You know, with a few flashes of maybe, MAYBE this will be great."

--Miranda July, interviewed in ReadyMade mag



This aged little magazine quote clipping has been taped to my computer monitor for over a year. I read it whenever I'm stuck hating myself too much to be any kind of productive. It helps.

 
 

If I ever have a kid, I want it to be Henry the YouTube dance sensation

Love this lil dude. I've already stolen so many new dance moves from his growing video collection.

The Wrens are my favorite band in the whole wide world

My hugest regret in this life is the time me & my then-boyfriend decided we'd prefer to watch BBC Office & argue about whether or not I had earlier insinuated he would go bald one day than attend the Wrens Planned Parenthood benefit show we had tix for (circa late '06?). We were all, "Staying in's more what I'm in the mood for. Let's consider our tix donations to a good cause."

Then, the next day, my roommate was like, "OMG all I've been reading about all day long, online & everywhere, is how you losers missed the BEST SHOW THAT EVER HAPPENED IN NEW YORK CITY!!" And I was like, "Hey thanks for that info! I don't think I even had sex last night thanks to that fight we had about hairlines."

Point is, all three people in this story are total assholes. And I have learned my lesson now, regarding whether or not I should go to Wrens shows.



Video above is from Friday's Bell House show-- which was so great-- courtesy of Nick's 100 Bands in 100 Days project. At 0:42-ish, catch me boppin around like a huge loser in a yellow t-shirt.

I had to apologize to Nick after the show for "the accidental ass-grab" when I helped lift him to the stage. He accepted my apology & seemed to be an all-around nice dude-- as it seems most Wrens fans are.

Only exception were the 3 dipshits from South Jersey next to me, who shouted encouragement to band members by name as if they were at a kid's Pee-Wee Football game. "Work those pedals, Kevin!" they said, or "Nice job there, Charles!" I especially enjoyed when the dude who smelled like 400 cigarettes leaned towards me during the quietest, most prettiest piano part & goes, "Meadowlands is the best album ever recorded, like, of alltime." I wanted to say, "I DISAGREE. IT BLOWS. LET'S TALK OVER THIS ENTIRE SONG TOGETHER." But instead I just said, "Yep."

The Wrens' Bell House set list was roughly identical to their show at Bowery Ballroom last month, which I attended with My Pal Ray. They again played the new song below-- which I still don't know the name of, but recognized after obsessively replaying the video below (via dontstaylong) approximately 9 thousand times since Bowery.
