get back!

if you haven’t already seen the new spike jonze-directed ludacris video – in which he sports giant hands, gets really mad at a pair of boots, and is followed by a posse of large, well-dressed women, you are missing out.

get back! get back! you don’t know me like that!

because of some sort of anti-mac conspiracy, I can only watch the video here, but other people can probably also watch it here or here.




i interviewed cris last week. he was really cool on the phone. his voice is so smooth and deep. i know he used to be a radio DJ, and you could totally picture him saying, “good evening night owls, it’s 2:37 in the AM on your FM dial, and this is the quiet storm....”





dear santa,

in these troubled times, it would do us all good to put the needs and well-being of others before our own desires. helping our fellow humans should be on the top of our “to-do” lists. unfortunately, as a red blue-blooded american who hit her self-centered teenage stride in the money-grubbing 80s, I can really only sincerely think of myself at this time of year. so here’s what I want for christmas:

the cutest iPod holder ever. (seen @ catchdubs)

the snottiest t-shirt ever. (seen @ tale of two cities)

the ryan mcginness skateboard deck, aka the holy grail. looks soooo much better in the flesh wood. hee, i said wood!

any of the box sets from trojan, or just a desmond dekker double CD.

some of those hott missy elliott sneakers.

a girlhattan tag necklace.

champagne, fashion and cocaine? yes please!

"oh, my beloved ice cream bar... how i love to leek your creamy center..." know where that's from? no? you eeeeediot! (by the way, you can hear awesome ren wav files here.)

I also want to meet this guy. so I’ll need a round trip ticket to new zealand.

here’s what I don’t want: a lap pillow. eww.

c.r.e.a.m.,
girlhattan

post-west palm beach tech woes

file under "down but not out":
i wanted to post some fab pix from my 5 days in juno beach, FL but my digital camera malfunctioned.
it had some kind of apoplectic seizure, is stuck with the lens extended and my images are trapped inside.
but here's what i did while on the red peninsula for dirk's wedding:

*drank coronitas on the beach
*bumped the iPod out of a monster speaker
*went to an amusement center and played miniature golf, air hockey, video games, bumper boats and raced go-karts
*ate lobster and corn on the cob at a clambake
*sat on the beach in the dark of night and watched the stars move ever so slowly
*danced with somebody's dad
*was interviewed for a documentary about the election
*ate steak
*ate fried clams
*cried at the wedding when the groom's brother sang a PJ harvey song
*watched a lizard change colors as he walked from grass to concrete

images TK, hopefully.

R I P : ODB

pay your respects here.


I dedicate this to all the pretty girls...
All the pretty girls...
All the pretty girls, in the world!
And the ugly girls too...
'Cuz to me you're pretty anyways baby...



Yo! so I glanced at the girls, girls glanced at me
I whispered in their ear, wana be with me?
You wana look pretty though, in my video
Ol' dirty on the hat and I let you all know
Just dance! if you caught up in the holy ghost trance
If you stop! ima put the killer ants in your pants
I'm the O-D-B as you can see
Every eye, don't you be watching me
I don't want no problems cause I put you down
In the ground where you can not be found
I'm just dirt dog trying to make sum bunny
So give me my streaks and give me my honey
Radio, yes all day, everyday
Recognize I'm a fool and ya luuuuuuuuuuv me!
None of you nmph better look at me funny
Nmph you know my name now give me my money!

hotties at the polls!

i am happy to report that my voting experience was completely easy and free of drama. props to the people at ps 140 on ridge street, where signs were in chinese, spanish and english. everyone was super-friendly and i was in and out in about 20 minutes -- from 6:25pm to 6:45pm. and there was a special bonus: voting hotties! there were a couple of really cute boys waiting to do their civic duty.

for the love of zeus, i hope things turn out OK... otherwise i will have to meet my sister in DC where we will surely get arrested.

happy hallowfreeek

i left a trail of red glitter from 13th street down to broome street over to the tribeca grand, up to the maritime hotel and over to passerby and florent before calling it a night. inhibitions and several possesions were lost, but no one got hurt.

everyone who can had better vote tomorrow!

remember to bring a photo ID and proof of address.

MTV has a printable checklist, which is supersmart. also, indyvoter.org has a list of the left-leaning peeps in NYC. i heart tom duane. i shook his hand once when i lived in chelsea and he was walking down my block.

if you want to see all the candidates, you can click here or here. you can plug in your zip code and see who's running in your district here.

these are the people i'll be choosing from.

if you have any questions you can probably find answers here.

i hope that when we wake up on wednesday we will know one way or the other, but i have this weird feeling the whole thing might drag on for a few days. arrrggg!!

the other race i am following very closely is this one.
