Abercrombie, the frat-boy staple has yanked their offensive line of asian stereotype tshirts, even before the email campaign had time to fully circulate. You now click on a link and see Kate Moss - something slightly less offensive, but still - c'mon fellas - grow the hell up. Failed irony is not your forte. Making every person on the planet conform to stereotypes is your forte however.
In the meantime, it's completely acceptable to call someone a skank.

Whooo... After my prerequisite 3x jack and cokes, I am understandably tipsy. In any case, spent the night out on the town w/Ian, Pam and Kuznitz. Toying with the possibility of getting one of the vacant apartments in Ian's building. The price is low enough and the fact it's back up on 15th is such a draw... There's a few other perks. The drawbacks - well, the noise, traffic, etc. Also - that 15th is now the official hotspot is somewhat daunting. As someone who was on 15th during the quiet years - it's a bit disconcerting to seeing your old strip turn into sexy overnight, teeming with hipsters paying outrageous rents leftover from the boom years.
In any case - as I am probably going to miss Ian terribly, getting an apartment in his building might just be too weird.

Ladies (and a few gents), it's official - men do make passes at girls who wear glasses...

Further proof that I'm an emotionally stunted 14 yr old girl stuck in the body of a grown man: Went with Beate to see the 5th Ave Theatre's production of Hair, and couldn't rush the stage at the last number because I felt I looked too fat and didn't dare want to get up on stage. Sigh - I am sooo neurotic.

Talk about a Paradigm Shift... Very interesting that Moz and his tops the fab-four, but then again - Rolling Stone was/is the 60's machine that ranked the Beatles at 1 probably, and NME is definately focused on the last 20 years (and has always been)... so it's no accident by any means (and this tide is out, so it can't even turn)...

Is your emo-band name dull as mtv dishwater? Can't think of a whimsical name to contrast you're heartfelt, moody lyrics? Well, look no further than the The Emo Band Name Generator (found courtesy of Memepool!)... Give it a whirl! Just remember - I get "Sunny Day of 44"...
While reality tv refuses to fade into obscurity,the self-absorbed take a comic holiday...In the meantime, the rest of us are completing taxes, some are rushing off late to work, some are celebrating birthdays:
HAPPY BIRTHDAY, RACHEL!!
This week - I'm focusing on stability, strength and organization. Oh shit. I just remembered I forgot to cancel my teeth-cleaning. Crap. Crap. Crap. (fumbling for phone)...
