Umm… can anyone explain this peculiar message that just went out on the White Stripes Official Mailing List?

Subject: ?

“The tricks of today are the truths of tomorrow.” – Man Ray X XV MMVII

The code-cracking has already started: X XV MMVII = 10/15/2007… So if anything, we will all find out on Monday.

UPDATE: You guys did some sleuthing, and it appears as though the message was referring to the sale of two limited edition Lomo cameras inspired and customized for Meg and Jack. They go onsale at 12 noon on Monday and the first 333 to buy both sets get a “mystery gift.”

According to this article, Across the Universe is set to gain a cult following among teenage girls (probably bonding over their mutual lust for dreamy mcDreamstein JIM STURGESS). As you may recall, I called the movie a “magical train wreck” in my earlier review, but I have to tell you, I cannot stop listening to the soundtrack of the album which I bought on iTunes this week.

I spent a good portion of today bonding with my co-worker and my friend Alyse about how effing cute Jim Sturgess is and how AtU is the type of movie that is good in small doses. After listening to the soundtrack about a billion times now, I am almost certain that I will be buying this movie on DVD. This movie has grown on me, I like it more and more every day.

Swoon away by watching the cast appearance on GMA:

More Jim cuteness…oh and a so-called “confidence booster”–a photo of him with his girlfriend.

Ok, so you know how it’s pretty typical that a blogger doesn’t want to go outside–that they just want to stay indoors and blog all day long? Well when a blogger wants to get outside, they generally want to be able to get out. Unfortunately for me, that is not the case this morning. I AM LOCKED INSIDE MY APARTMENT. Yes, that’s right–the door will NOT open, no matter how hard I try.

The Backseat Blogger came over and tried to help me open it from the outside. We even tried slipping a credit card through to make the latch unhook. NO LUCK. The BB had to go back to work so now I’m alone again. Alone alone. I am trapped inside my damn apartment until a locksmith or my landlord gets me out somehow.

It’s funny how a little piece of metal can prevent you from freedom. Damn you modern technology.

Luckily I went grocery shopping yesterday (which I never do), so I have some sustenance to tide me over. Unfortunately there are things inside my apartment that people in the outside world need, and I can’t get them out in a timely manner because I’m locked in.

So for now I wait for delicious freedom.

UPDATE 1

The family member with my extra set of keys now has to come to my building in order to let the lock guy in. The waiting and retardness continues.

UPDATE 2

My key ambassador and the lock guy have found each other downstairs. I CAN TASTE FREEDOM. It’s so close, yet so far away.

UPDATE 3

Er… trying the key did not work (of course). Now someone has to scale the fire escape and come through my window. This is a full rescue mission.
