This is frickin weird: New York Times Article about JT Leroy. Apparently, JT Leroy had a decoy woman "play" his part in interviews and photographs. I haven't read it in detail yet, but when I saw it I thought I should give a heads up to those of you interested in him.

Jessie's Christmas Update!I had an elaborate dinner with proximal family that went from 7:00 to midnight. We sat at the table for this whole time period. Irritating ( Read more... )

I just finished an essay for my British Literature class and I realized-- possibly I used the word "de facto" wrong through out the entire essay. Um, I don't think I am going to continue to work on it anyway. I'll just turn the fuckin thing in. De facto is my teacher's word, not mine. But really, it seemed to explain what I was trying to say so ( Read more... )

I want to CRY because I can't play SIMs. I bought SIMS 2 for myself when it first came out. And I was SO excited, but it wouldn't let me play because I didn't have high end graphics and I need to install a graphics card.

Let me take this opportunity to love on Jason Schwartzman. I just saw Shop Girl and Jason is number one on my "celebs I would like to do" list. I also lost my car twice this evening and made Myra treck with me through multiple car lots. Um, I'm a loser? That is all. And I love Jason Schwartzman.

One paper down! Two to go. My Decemberist friend (maybe I should start referring to him as his name? I think it's Jeff) loaned me CDs. He gave me ( Read more... )

On friday Myra, Leah, and I hit two different halloween parties. Myra was dressed as Tom Waits and Leah was dressed up as Bright Eyes. I was myself because I had no idea that's where we were going. I should really learn how to post pictures ( Read more... )

I went to the Decemberists concert on last Friday. Sarah teased me that I would be right in front, an Engine Driver. Also, it felt like the lead singer was staring at me, flirting with his eyes. This is not really possible because I was far back and hidden behind a guy with a flippy ponnytail. All that was showing was my eyes. The singer just ( Read more... )
