I have a habit of chewing my thumbnail if I'm bored. (chewing I don't bite) And I keep forgetting I've got nail polish on so yeah... not nice. But it's not toxic right? Mmmm. *sniffs toxic fumes*

I pissed off the hairdresser. But I went in saying to myself 'no matter what I'm gonna get it cut my way'. So she cut it one way and then I said no could you cut it this way? And she said something in Korean. And then she did it the way I wanted. Then I mended ways by complimenting her and made an empty promise to come back and left on my merry way.

So I read this paragraph in a Rollingstones article on the Yeah Yeah Yeahs.
Except Kelly Clarkson. She scares them.
"Dude, she so freaks me out," says Karen O, the New York doll who sings lead for the Yeahs. Karen O's a tough customer, the firecracker who conquered the world in ripped fishnets, smeared lipstick and black leather gloves, not to mention the Corona she uses to start beer-sloshing fights with the crowd. But she got the fear when she heard Clarkson's smash "Since U Been Gone," which features the guitar break from the Yeah Yeah Yeahs' "Maps" -- not a sample, just a precise replica. Says Karen O, "It was like getting bitten by a poisonous varmint." I try to argue that the Yeahs should be honored to share Clarkson's mall cred, but they're not sure. "Ah, well," Karen O says. "If it wasn't her, it just would've been Ashlee Simpson."
And I thought I was being a bit paranoid cos I've only heard the whole song once. But it is a complete replica. Unintended Rip off? I dunno slightly creepy.
