infinity on high

zito gallery - ludlow street

fall out boy have the number one album in the country. i can't stop listening to it.

i'm sort of obsessed, and it makes me feel like a teenager, but considering my day to day existence, i guess it's appropriate.

i wrote the gospel on giving up
(and looking pretty sinking)
but the real bombshells have already sunk
(primadonnas of the gutter)



new york eyes, chicago thighs
pushed up the window to kiss you off
the truth hurts worse
than anything i could ever bring myself to do to you



been looking forward to the future
but my eyesight is going bad
and this crystal ball
it's always cloudy except for
when you look into the past



see also: ah, youth

home is where the art is, part deux




i had no idea you could buy art by kurt vonnegut on his website. i had no idea kurt vonnegut had a website.

when i was in high school i was obsessed with him. i read everything i could get my hands on, one after the other: cat's cradle, slaughterhouse five, breakfast of champions, player piano, deadeye dick, etc. etc. etc. busy busy busy.

home is where the art is

this is not an art gallery

despite the crazy huge snowstorm in new york on valentine's day, i made it from my apartment downtown to the MTV studios in times square for a "behind the scenes" story with TRL host damien fahey.

i got to check out damien's dressing room, watch rehearsal and hang out backstage during the show. drew barrymore was the guest, and she was absolutely adorable. so cute, so pretty, and so nice to everyone. even though there had just been massive layoffs, it still seemed like a cool place to work. everyone's young, casually dressed, goofing off and hugging each other. close-knit.

anyway, i didn't take any pictures, mostly because i had a photographer with me but also because my camera is knock knock knockin' on heaven's door. i can barely wait to get a new one. i think that pink sony hits stores next week. we'll see.

madison square garden was quietly abuzz with dog lovers.

see if you can spot the "coney combo" - a hot dog inside of a knish.

justin vs. robyn

this is really "what goes around" vs. "konichiwa bitches"

this is tale as old as time. when money and fame don't solve your problems.

justin timberlake made a great album. his videos from futuresex/lovesounds, so far, have been so-so. he dances, he broods, he fondles models, timbaland appears, whatever.

so they decided to ramp it up.
"take it to the next level." hire nick cassavetes. hire scarlett "modern vixen" johansson. hype it up with trailers and a premiere date, and make the video nine minutes long.

and guess what? it sucks and blows when it's not being yawn-inducingly zzzzzzzzz boring.

the plotline doesn't match the song, the acting is terrible, the lighting and the mic make the cars seem anachronistic. it's just not good.




and then there's something like robyn's "konichiwa bitches."
no hype, no hollywood starlet guest stars. just a hilarious, creative, funky monkey little video you fall in love with.






budget for "what goes around"...........$$$$$$$$
budget for "konichiwa"..................................... $$


winner for better video: konichiwa bitches!


please, by all means, if you disagree, say so.

tranny breakdown!



in the immortal words of whitney houson:
it's not right, but it's okay.

your new boyfriend is named zarf.

love him, treat him well. he has issues.

i have watched this about seventeen times and it only gets better. i've spread it to friends and coworkers, and i just can't get enough. it's old, i'm late to the bandwagon, but i'm gonna ride it all over town...

the accent! the underbite! the lone tear that falls at the very end!
it's GENIUS.
brazilliant.

"who am i?
what am i?
isn't it obvious?"

cobalt is the new fuchsia

some highlights so far from fashion week; animal rights activists need not apply. fur, leather, glamour.


so - the looks. here's how i judge:
is it foxy? could it get me hired, fired, punched, propositioned?
if yes, then i want it.

also: cobalt is the new hot pink; adjust accordingly.

in a dramatic twist of events, my brother went to fashion show last night and i went to a knicks game.

there i was, sitting in my luxury box drinking free beer and watching stephon marbury - swapping text messages with my bro : he'd send "vikram in the house" and i'd send "spike lee." then he sent "paris" and i sent "knicks win." he's got more pix here, i got nothin. sometimes it beez like that.
