we've been saturned!

01.11.03 -- we congratulate the walkmen on their Saturn commercial, featuring the song "We've Been Had" (my fave walkmen song!). now they have to play that song in concert, eh? bring the effing piano next time, dawgs! I managed to get most of the commercial on my camera -- click here to check it out!

i was researching the next "steal this indie look" featuring karen o, and i came upon this cool chucks page with pictures of people wearing chucks around the world. rad!

here's another cool chucks link.

going to rock out at north six tonight, checking out what the witnesses are all about. joy.

so long, oolong! we will miss you.

01.10.03 -- we are sad to hear that oolong the amazing rabbit that balanced things on its head died. i hope they didn't try to balance a building on its head or something. that would be so effed up! anyhoo, click here for a list of our favorite bunny tricks.here's the official announcement of oolong's passing:
I'm sorry for this sudden news, Oolong passed away on January 7th. He was so well and cheerful as usual, but at 14:30 his condition changed suddenly, and he couldn't support himself less and less, seemed to feel dull.
Then at 19:30, he softly stopped breathing in the arms of his owner and completed his eight years and five months and more several days life filled with various adventure. Since opening this website, Oolong had gotten incredible lots of support from all over the world, not only in Japan, more than 25 countries. Surely he seems to be the best fortunate rabbit in the world. Thank you very much for your warmth. There is still some stock of Oolong's photograph not released yet, so this site will be regularly updated so far. Here he can live for ever. Wishing he can also live in hearts of you all, please.

why was today the most annoying day in history? my eyes felt like they were burning -- and i felt like crying and listening to norah jones:
"The sun just slipped its note below my door, and I can't hide beneath my sheets."

for some reason i'm really into this m.a.c creme lipstick color, pink nouveau. it's smooth and bright and totally wrong. but i still love it.

nyu has a listing of shows that are kinda interesting. note: carlos dengler of interpol.

tsk, tsk - - gideon returns as super drunken slut at jane mag's party. is that where he's been all this time? note fiona and nancy, first row - second to last.

01.07.03 -- i can't get the friggin' rapture song outta my head. kind of ironic since i think they sound like a mixture of kylie and someone else... who???

my new fave lipstick = ck lip color wash (berry)
it's a little bit brighter than i'm used to, but it does make my lips look lush. lush!

i've included hamilton in this quiz, and many of my friends are compatible with him. do you approve? and who's YOUR indie rock boyfriend? perhaps i should write a indie rock girlfriend quiz...

Dear Jin-

Thanks for writing. I took your quiz and got Stephen Malkmus which I guess is quite an honor. Our guitarist Paul's girlfriend got Hamilton which is definitely cause for concern. Anyway, thanks for writing. Let us know if you put up the indie rock girlfriend quiz.

-Pete
