adam green has better complexion than julian c! no surprise there.

01.04.03 -- two adorable boys hugging. awww.

planning to finally see adaptation tonight. wish me luck.

adaptation was great. i love fucked up shit like that. i decided i even liked the ending:
"if you have a great ending, then it doesn't matter if you've bored the audience the rest of the time. you've got a hit!"
"we are what we love, not what loves us."

check out anna and jco's new sites!

why can't my hair do that?

01.03.03 -- this is probably the hottest picture of craig nicholls i've ever seen. total rock hotness.

my favorite realistics song is "why didn't you stay". beware -- i'm perfecting my karaoke version as i speak:

you know i can't stop thinking of what you're doing now. and i can't stop breathing, breathing out loud. and i stop and i wonder at every cab i see, i stop and wonder if you're thinking if you're thinking of me. but i know know know that you don't care. and i know know know cause you're never gonna call. and i know know know cause you never cared, and i know know know so why do i hold on?

why didn't you stay just one more night with me? why didn't you stay just one more night with me. and i can't stop the feeling that i never knew you really and i can't stop wondering why, why you didn't stay. why do i stare at your picture through melancholy frames i why do i stop and wonder if you're thinking of me, but...

why didn't you stay just one more night with me? why didn't you stay, you stay here, c'mon, stop stop thinking. i won't stop stop thinking.

6 or more albums to rediscover in 2003:
1) dashboard confessional - the places we have come to fear the most (eff yoo, jco, I am not that emo)
2) walkmen - everyone who pretended to like me is gone... and while we're at it, let's throw in their underrated labelmates, the french kicks and team usa.
3) the realistics - go ahead
4) belle & sebastian - the boy with the arab strap
5) smashing pumpkins - siamese dream
6) pavement - crooked rain crooked rain

pink ties = effeminate, but we likey

01.02.03 -- jco made a rad list of her top 10 favorite rock show moments. they are more fab than fab.

my new year's resolution is to go to more fuckin' shows. home is for sleep.

i spent some time making the quiz i've been wanting to make for a while now. take it:

me? i am one with jules. sigh.

other people's results:
jennifer = hamilton
fiona = hamilton
anna = hamilton
hope = adam green
katy = conor oberst
rachel = hamilton
laura = conor oberst
scotty = adam green
kathie = stephen malkmus
keith = hamilton

01.01.03 -- happy new year! somehow i knew that the realistics' new year's eve show would be the ultimate indie rock scene.

the strokes' manager's band -- shetland pony -- was opening up for the realies and longwave. i knew i would see a stroke or two there. indeed, about five minutes after arriving i saw nikolai and fab. and next to fab? noneother than drew barrymore herself. i have to say she looks much cuter in person than she does in photographs! i applaud her for going cazh that night. and i suppose it was cute watching them get all snuggly and kissy-poo.

me and the crew dressed up "new wave" to, i guess, make fun of all the new wavers. one dude complimented me on my outfit. but i doubt anyone knew that my pink and black arm warmers were a joke. can we say, over their heads?

i also heard that the dude from starsailor was hanging around...

shetland pony wasn't that great, but i think everyone felt like they had to bob their heads to the music anyway. longwave was good, but his deep monotonous voice can get, well, monotonous at points. the crowd certainly felt it, one dude shouting out an ozzy osbourne request. instead, longwave invited dennis realistic up to the stage to cover gnr's "sweet child o mine". dennis didn't know all the words, but boy could he hit those axl notes!

i dressed my bf up like a hive. he looked so goddamn cute, i wanted to make out with him all night! forget the rock stars!

i love that dennis realistic gave a shout out to the vice city soundtrack. "would've been better if we slept together! but there's something in your eyes that says never!" i'm not the only one addicted to that video game.

we toasted the new year 8 minutes before midnight, and then the realies played their kick-ass set. around 12:40 p.m. the party was over, and people shuffled out... and that was that.

most eligible bachelor of 2002?

12.30.02 -- i spent the better half of my day researching a couple wb "hotties" for work-related shite, but still didn't find anything interesting. actors are so fuckin' boring. fiona says good looking boys never have to account for shite. is that true, beck?

no celebrity sightings today, babes (yes, i was talking to you). i was supposed to write something specific in my entry today, but now i kinda forget what that was...

anyhoo, as jco and i discussed earlier today, beck has to be the most eligible bachelor of 2002. in jco's words, after listening to sea change, how can you not fall in love with beck? sigh. i can't agree more.

here's a quick list of my fave bands of this moment (the white stripes will mos def not be included on this list):
1) the walkmen
2) french kicks
3) queens of the stone age
4) liars
5) blonde redhead
6) the panthers
7) haven
8) norah jones
9) the vines
10) kylie minogue
11) enon
12 bright eyes
13) les savy fav

who's morrissey?

12.29.02 -- despite my sicky sickness, i went to tiswas last night. a friend was entertaining her friend and wouldn't go to the party if i didn't go. yes, the burden was on me. so with a sigh, i put on my brand new denim pumps, and headed over to the partay. by the end of the night, my pumps had all sorts of shite spilled on them. some weirdo 50-year-old hit on me and tried to get my number while two of my friends danced on stage, and the other one... well, let's just say she was making out quite fine. then my two stage dancing friends tried to save me from the weirdo guy, and i told him my boyfriend would not be happy if i gave him my number (which is the truth, ruth). i wish that boyfriend of mine liked to dance so shite like that would stop happening to me. we all saw a couple of interpol members at the partay, all dressed up in their sleek suits. i wondered, when did Carlos turn from a goth who only wore black to a goth who only wears silk ties? (was this after he graduated nyu?) and why don't the interpolies dance? probably because the DJ was majorly sucking that night. i certainly don't blame them. where's my camera when i need it?

btw, why the hell is grand theft auto: vice city so goddamn addictive? i need to stop the debauchery and go to sleep... zzzz....
