- Music lovers: Check out Idolator and get back to me. It's the new music-and-music-industry blog from the folks who brought us defamer, gawker and Consumerist.
- I've worked out that my issue with the Gap ad isn't the ad itself, but the idea that the Gap is trying to get us to buy skinny black pants. First, three people look good in skinny black pants and none of them have an ass. (My friend L would look good in them.) Second, I continue to have no idea what the hell the Gap is trying to be anymore. They're all over the place and have been for a while now. Remember when a new Gap ad was something to look forward to?
- Hell, remember when the MTV Video Music awards was something to look forward to? And it isn't even me being a fuddy duddy; my students didn't like them this year either, because they sucked. As did Fashion Rocks, which I watched on cable tonight and which had about 25 minutes of watchable programming in two hours of bullshit. I swear to God if I never see Fergie again it will be too soon.
- About that Kirk/Spock "Closer" vid that's going around: One thing I think is truly awesome is how the stylizing shows how well that Star Trek brand of acting works in a silent environment, right down to the liberal use of eyeliner. It's as though all this time, the voyages of the Starship Enterprise was actually a German expressionist film. Spock even resembles Cesare the Somnambulist!
- Why is Asia touring? No, seriously, why? Does anyone really need to pay $75 to see a bunch of old men play "Heat of the Moment" live?
Thanks to everyone who's been putting up with my emo crazies lately. When I'm already like this I really need to make sure I'm feeding myself or it just gets worse. Well, at least for one of my classes my homework is to watch Meet Me in St.Louis. I mean, how excellent is that?
