The Problem With Memoirs - NYTimes.com →
I’m just getting around to reading this now, but I think the whole thing is very well articulated. Is it the continuous decline of the publishing industry that’s producing these unmemorable memoirs?

today was not so bad
-Got a lot of sleep, woke up at 12, met my friend and headed over to the Guggenheim. 95% of it is off limits b/c they’re setting up for the next exhibit, which is mostly paintings, which is funny, because my architecture professor told us that FLW specifically designed the Guggenheim to be rounded because he wanted it to be hard to display paintings because he didn’t like paintings. We...

oh, so
Just, very quickly- was supposed to go to some show in Brooklyn with ex-MC tonight, and that didn’t pan out so I just went to his place instead, and I think I am 100% not attracted to him anymore, which is just RAD. He bites his nails like it’s going out of style, which I never noticed until New Years. How did I not notice that before? I know I put him on a pedestal and all, but...

happy friday!!
Gevalia is one of my agency’s clients. I think they may be visiting today. What this means: free coffee at the coffee bar, a montage of Swedish things on the monitors behind the bar (including the Swedish Chef!), and Robyn’s “Konichiwa Bitches” on a constant loop (uncensored!).

“Plus, folks, the Mighty Mighty Bosstones are in this movie. I think Heckerling...”
– Watching Clueless For the First Time @ Splitsider I never really thought about Clueless as a Girl Movie. I always thought about it as a Funny Movie with a sweet ending.

– also via PFT. And yeah, I thought Steven Tyler’s glasses were oddly elderly. I guess he got the Aunt Phyllis Glasses to go along with the Aunt Phyllis Honesty.

I’m kind of psyched for this, guys. I’ve had that “Manhunt” book on my to-read list for a while now (about the search for Lincoln’s assassin). I adore McAvoy, and the rest of the cast is pretty appealing to me as well- Wilkinson, Wright, Bledel, Jon Groff!

And here's another dumb fact
Even though I KNOW Fall Out Boy’s “Tell That Mick He Just Made my List of Things to do Today” is a “Rushmore” reference, I still think it’s about a guy named Mick, every time.

Embarrassing Fact
I’ve been trying to clean out my iTunes for the past couple of months, and I’ve been coming up with ridiculous reasons for keeping certain songs. For instance- Blur’s “13”. I used to have the whole album on my computer, and at this point, I’ve narrowed it down to just a couple of songs. The thing is, I don’t even listen to those songs! I think I’m...

Reading BSC books as an 8 or 9 year-old, 13 seemed so OLD. Even 11… middle school! And then when I got to be 13, I still felt pretty young. None of my friends were as sophisticated and as...

Let me just note that I never thought I could make friends online, but I DID. I am not the most outgoing person, but knowing people online before meeting them in person actually helped a lot, because I already knew that there was stuff that we could talk about, and then that first batch of things-in-common lead to other things-in-common, and basically- hearts in my eyes.

two things about "idol"
1. It was lovely to have company to watch the show with!
2. This, from Paul F. Tompkins’s NYMagazine recap: And after trying various combinations of unpleasant and faux-pleasant people as judges, the dust has settled, and we have a new tribunal in place. Original pitchy-priss and Black Drew Carey, Randy Jackson, has been joined by two “super” “stars:” former actress/eventual Zsa Zsa ...

Eeeee! I never followed the link he tweeted the other day. I figured it was some random band that he liked, but eeee! I love Patrick’s voice, but I also like him holding court on just *stuff*- like art, fashion, forgotten music, etc. Here’s hoping he keeps this thing updated.

LOOK AT YOUR LIFE/LOOK AT YOUR CHOICES
Anyway: should be in bed. Am listening to “Dark Twisted Fantasy” instead.
