REMEMBERANCE OF THINGS PAST
Remember when we used to report every burp, fart, and sniffle Ryan Adams would make? Too much time on hands. Link from Peter.
EMERGING FROM THE HOLE
Yesterday we ran into Mike Goodstein on our way into the center of Manhattan. Can’t remember what we talked about, but we’re sure that we annoyed everyone on that train by talking about inane shit like how Phantom Planet were “totally LA”, our contempt for the term “blogger” and/or “blogging”, and our hatred of the advancement of technology. We were totally those annoying people on the train that you just want to fucking hit and say “ohmygod, just shut the FUCK UP!” We were totally those 8:50am people.
On Sunday we made a surprise apperance at The Day After. “Surprise” meaning we just kinda showed up and didn’t tell anyone we were going to go, but like, are you our mom or something? Listened to Scott spin some tunes and ate a Chicken Teriyaki sandwich with fries. So wanted a glass of milk. Scott didn’t play The Fat Boys LP, which kinda disturbed us. Seriously, what kind of DJ do you consider yourself, bro?
SHUT UP AND STICK IT IN
Popstar Howie Day arrested in the cheese state for apparently “locking a woman in a bathroom and breaking another woman’s cell phone after one of the women allegedly refused his sexual advances.” “That was probably wrong of me,” Day told police of breaking the phone. “But I felt violated.” Link from Whatevs.

Superbitch Mischa Barton in Elle magazine:
“But Barton says that fame more often has a distancing effect: ‘Sometimes men are scared of me. You know, you become kind of an icon on television, and people are a little bit unsure, careful. It’s funny.’”
“So it shouldn’t be surprising that when asked about Barton, the first (and often only) thing the girls in El Segundo say is, ‘She’s pretty.’ Barton’s thoughts on such reactions are psychologically astute, if perhaps emotionally less than generous: ‘I think they’re just surprised I’m their age and they could in any way relate to me. Anybody who feels any kind of insecurity in themselves may be surprised that somebody their age would look like this.’”
“When I ask what kind of fan mail she receives, Barton says, ‘It’s fascinating the stories you’ll get.’ For example? In a weary, singsong voice, she says, ‘Like, ‘I was in the war and my leg got cut off and I’m in the hospital. I’ll never walk again, but all I can do is lie in bed and watch your TV show.’ It’s just—stuff you get.’ She shrugs and takes another bite of swordfish. I ask if that letter came from a soldier in Iraq, and she says, ‘I don’t remember. But that one was big on the list of, like, heart-wrenching stories. Are you joking? The O.C.? Surely there are more important things in life than my stupid show. But, like, okay, if you feel that way. I’m like, that’s'–she chuckles and rolls her eyes–’nice.’”
What’s that smell? Eau de Catherine Zeta Jones?

THIS STUPID TEST TRICKED US
So we took the Match.com Physical attraction quiz, and apprently 43% of women our age ARE NOT INTERESTED in the type of men we’re attracted to. Only 10% of women are “very attracted” to the type of men we’re attracted to. So basically, if we think you’re cute, only 10% of women you meet will think you’re cute. So maybe it’s kinda the kiss of death if we think you’re cute. Or maybe this test is retarded.
First off, this test tricked us with the age ranges. We selected the wrong age range for the first question, and this fucking Nazi test won’t let you go back and change your answer. This test blows, we can’t believe we even did it. Or… maybe we’ll just have to take it again…Maybe it’s the greatest thing ever.

Speaking of all things attractive, today our friend called Sondre Lerche “cute… but in an ugly puppy kinda way.” We don’t even know what that means. What the hell? Yet this person finds Robbie Williams hot. Seek help.
