the code of the thug

ok so me and cupcakeface thought it would be fun to drink a bunch of booze and watch tupac's movie resurrection cause she got it for free from some basement bin of filth. i thought it was gonna be really lame BUT GUESS WHAT i was SO WRONG!
tupac is like a black, ghetto version of karl lagerfeld mixed with tracey morgan from 30 rock. he says the most random, thoughtful, bizarre things and i couldn't stop laughing at them. his insanity aside, this movie is actually pretty dope. did you know his parents were in the black panthers or something? the white man was always keeping them down. also, the code of the thug says no slinging in schools so don't do it, OK? and PS, probably don't bang dudes for money because then tupac thinks you're a bitch. but men can be bitches, too. it's all very complex.
exceptional quotes:
"I always felt like I'd be shot."
"I didn't create Thug Life. I diagnosed it."
"Mike Tyson, we used to kick it. He's a real cool brother, a big brother. The only difference in us is that he's big and I'm small. But I got the same heart he got. I want to knock everybody out."

project anticipation
Am I the only person who's been FIENDING for the new season of Project Runway?? Well it begins November 14th and I am beyong psyched. Another season of Heidi unable to pronounce the letter "R" Nina's bitchy upturned face and Tim telling the designers to "...make it work". This show if I dare say is far better than ANTM and the sneak peak previews display an interesting looking cast of characters. Just remember kids, in the world of fashion - you are either in or you are out (of the closet). Maybe we'll be blessed enough to have Krazy Karl Lagerfeld make an appearance! WTF am I saying he wouldn't waste his time with a bunch of nobodys - American nobodys nonetheless. Check out what he had to say about all of this!

in radiohead rainbows
I just love how they have stuck it to major labels with this stunt of theirs. Releasing this album only through their website and allowing fans to pay whatever they see fit is the best 'fuck you' any major recording artist could exclaim. Talk about keeping it in the basement! Good mellow album with heartbreaking streams of piano and Thom's whine. Enjoy kids - this is the first sign of big change in the industry.

•THE KLAX-OFF•

I have been patiently waiting to mark out about these darling boys, waiting until I saw them live and was able to present them under the most thorough light possible. Bitches - Klaxons are making it work like no one could ever dream of. Their highly coveted - 2007 Nationwide Mercury Prize winning album Myths of the Near Future could not be justified or explained in just a few words - imagine fear, sweat, orgasms, bright lights, dim lights, dance parties on foggy old english bridges and soft lovely day dreams burned away in the galaxy's stars. Basically this album has made me feel horny, dance hungry, intrigued and privelaged from first listen...
...and last night at Webster Hall they exposed them-gritty-selves - showed me a whole other side. Naked, raw and so deliciously thrashing - such a different sound from the recorded album - kinda like you saw yesterday's ballerina riding a motorcycle in a bikini the next night. Each song's dirty cousin kept blowing me away...and they practically did every song. Oh and FUCK anyone saying they are the leading horsemen of this douchey "Nu-Rave" movement cuz they are far too precious to even pigeonhole that way. Furthermore, you can't even define any member by their instrument or position cuz they kept passing that shit around - one singer one song, another man on keyboards the next...you'd be a fool not to accept that they gonna keep you on your toes. Jamie had on a leather jacket with a Dr. Dre Chronic tee, Simon's hair has gotten as awesome and huge as his puppy eyes, me and my sister saw Steffan in the pizzeria holding a Kiehl's shopping tote and James had the grin of a heartbreaker on the whole show. I am obsessed and thrilled. Last night was their last show in the U.S. and they will be coming back for their next albums tour which is currently underway. 
1 infinitley long stream of winding, ringing, seductive smoke.

across the blue-niverse

Sooo...Jim Sturgess is the new Jake Gyllenhaal - in terms of fuckability ofcourse. Also, I'm honestly not even a Beatles mark but I absolutely loved this theatrical display of color, sound and historical relevance. Once you accept the cheese that comes with any musical movie, and go with it the same obvious way its creators do - Across the Universe is not only easy to swallow but makes it hard to keep your too cool sensibility up. It covers so much about America and the U.K at that time as well as incorporating key figures of the 60's into the plot in a very interesting and fitting way. Please just go see it and cry like an asshole like I did and you will understand what finally gave me something to write about on this our sacred 'BP'**Hear some of the songs if you'd like!

Just paste on a smile and don't think about the potential smells
If you know anything about me, you know that there are few people in this world that I tolerate, but I do love old people. Well, at least old people I know. (Shout out to Grammy and Dotty, we need to set a Scrabble/martini date!)
I know for many, it is sometimes hard to approach old people, let alone actually hang out with them, but once you do, it may be worth it. Luckily Google has compiled some tips that should help make it easier for you to be around old people. Who knows, it may even help you find a new, older, bff: http://www.wikihow.com/Communicate-With-Older-Adults Enjoy!

Good thing I wasn't hung over, or I would have puked on your back
Thank you. Thank you, 45 year-old grandmother for walking in front of me for 4 blocks in that glorious outfit last Friday morning. Your massive 4-inch long weggie (seriously, did you pay extra to have the anal exam with those pants?) entertained me for a portion of my walk to work. I have found a picture, that may have represented the look you were going for if you were about 100 pounds lighter, see above.

TWENTY-FIVE THOUSAND TURKISH ELEPHANTS
there are no words in any language that can describe the love i have for this man.
karl lagerfeld designs delicious chanel clothing (orgasm), but he's more than that. karl lagerfeld is a legend, a bizarre character, a person that becomes more fascinating with every story you hear. karl lagerfeld is a mixture of kim jong il, bill brasky, and a perfectly aloof gay guy working in a Gap clothing store.
enjoy these tidbits about him. embrace this man. he is everything.
- "A dress that Karl Lagerfeld designed for Chanel was pulled from the season's line. The Arab world was up in arms after the sexy black item with Arabic words embroidered across it was modeled on the runway." The problem? The words, which Lagerfeld thought derived from a love poem, were in fact from the Koran.
- "Karl has the energy of . . . what? Twenty-five thousand Turkish elephants!" says socialite Anne Slater.
- "Firemen had to stand at the door to stop people from coming in because everyone wanted to see him [Lagerfeld]," says Robert Burke. "Karl said the firemen were the best-dressed people from the whole evening!"
- An emissary from Planet Not Obsessed With Karl: Chuck Close plants his wheelchair two inches from the exit door. "I'm not very interested in fashion," says Close, surveying the crowd. He sighs. "This event is making me want to start smoking again."
- The Fendi iPod bag can carry up to 12 iPods. It is already not clear to me who would own 12 iPods. Karl Lagerfeld, who designed the iPod bag, actually now has 40 iPods. The article goes on explaining that Lagerfeld converted his 60,000 CD collection onto the 40 iPods, which are scattered around the globe in his various residences.
- Karl has also taken a liking to Chan Marshall, singer of Cat Power, whom he has flown out to several Chanel shows in Europe.

Road Trip!
Recently some friends and I headed up to Branbury State Park for a fall weekend camping trip. On the way there we took a wrong turn (damn you google directions!) and drove 70 or so miles out of the way. Normally, something like this would irritate me to no end. But, it was raining and around 11pm, the thought of putting a tent up in the wet and dark was not the most appealing. And then it happened. Like a shining beacon of amber hope it appeared on the side of the road. The Long Trail Beer Brewery.
For those of you unfamiliar with Long Trail, it is made outside of Killington VT (nowhere near out campsite btw) by dirty, dirty hippies. It is a microbrewery, I have never seen Long Trail further south than MA. There are a few places around the Boston area to get it, but not many. They were of course closed that night, but we made the pilgrimage again on our way back to MA and stopped in to see the Hippies. Oh the Hippies.
Inside, there is a "self guided tour" which basically means you walk up some stairs, and onto a catwalk above the brewery floor. Pretty cool! They also have a bar and restaurant as well where we consumed nachos, jalepeno poppers, and onion rings after smoking a fatty. Then it was on to the gift shop, which was right behind the bar so we didn't have to go far. There you can buy tshirts and junk like that, but you can also buy cases and cases of Long Trail beer. Sweet Blackberry Wheat, with your crisp hint of berry, and the Double Bag, with its 7.2% alcohol goodness. We bought 3 cases. Yay for camping!!!

Hallelujah Girls!
Not that we needed another reason to visit NYC, but now thanks to the fabulous staff of Viridian Spirits we have one! They have created a legal form of Absinthe that is now being served in hoity toity bar rooms all across Manhattan! This almost makes me forget about my hatred of NY Yankees fans, and the Yankees themselves. Thank you New York. Thank you for getting me drunk.
