I’m dead and dank and rotten
My arms are wrapped in cotton
My corpse loves you, let’s marry

(Get smart, once) Every night at sleepy time
(Get smart, twice) I hang my skin out on the line
(Get smart, sing) Oh, darling, would you be, be mine

(Chorus)
I’m in love, I think I’m in love
I’m in love, I think I’m in love
I’m in love, I think I’m in love

I’m caught in a mesh of veins
My fingers and flesh and brains
My skull gives head, so let’s wed

(Get smart, once) Every night when all alone
(Get smart, twice) I drape my flesh around the phone
(Get smart, pray) Oh, darling, would you be my own

(Chorus)

Don’t cry, beautiful, it’s just a phase
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I chant and I pray, I love

You know, God works in mysterious ways
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I sing and I pray, I love

I’m soft and slightly stinking
My arms are small and shrinking
My lips kiss dirt, oh, let’s flirt

(Get smart, once) Every night at half past one
(Get smart, twice) There’s a little taste of things in come
(Get smart, chant) Oh, darling, can I be your son

(Chorus)

Don’t scream, baby, it’s just a coma
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I chant and I pray, I love

You go to heaven, I go to Roma
To the father and the son and the holy ghost
I sing and I pray, I love

Merry Christmas

"What Is, Guilty Pleasure?"

Man, I love Jeopardy. Specifically Kid Jeopardy & Teen Jeopardy. My roommate, Christina, and I would often get Applebee's Curbside to Go and park ourselves on our '80stastic sectional couch for a good 3 hours or so (Jeopardy followed by a few blocks of America's Funniest Home Videos.) Sigh, those were the days...

The shining beacon of light on teen Jeopardy was our future polygamist husband, Norwegian Rat-boy Stephen.


We like him because he audibly swore when he was on...



...and had uncontrollable fits of rage.


Other goodies...


Drunk Trebek..Mmmmm.
(I take back my previous post...now THIS is my dream dude.)

If I Were Dr. Suzenstein...

...I would create my dream dude in four easy steps:

1)
He would have the physical body & style of Paul Simonon. EVEN THE GAP! (I love the gap.) British accent is a given...

2)
A huge dose of John Cusack circa Better Off Dead's endearing goofy attitude.


3)
Bill Murray's sense of humor.

and lastly...
4)
The TINIEST bit of Californication Hank Moody clever asshole-ishness. I stress only a wee bit, since I could see myself getting fucked off quickly with a full dose of those histronics.

Meep!

I'm feeling divided about the weather report for the next few days. On one hand, I love sledding, skiing/snowboarding, ice skating, & most of all, building FEROCIOUS snow animals!! However, am not down with attempting to drive in the snow. It is a right pain in the ass. Snow puts a cramp in my daily jaunts from my house to downtown (precious alone time with my musique!) and is probably gonna ruin my new boots (even if I do water proof them, I am anxious!)

Tonight, I did some Christmas shopping down in Albany. Zis eez vhat I vore....



I am still torn up over what else to get my Dad & he is offering no suggestions! Grrrr...

"He Has Such an Egon Schiele Look.."

...So quoth Patti Smith about Tom Verlaine.

I quite like the vibe of Egon Schiele's work. A little creepy, but I can get behind that.

A dream where everyone looked like a Schiele drawing would be a nifty experience, methinks!

Rip Her to Shreds

I, too, have gotten pulled into the vortex that is The Maison Martin Margiela Ripped Pant Phenomenon.

It all started innocently enough whilst I was perusing the customistions thread on TFS. From there, these pants started haunting me. First through my first venture onto Polyvore, and finally-the coup de grace- the reigning pixie of cool, Gala Darling, posted her own version. (Her website is so rad, do yourself a favor & spent a chunk of time checking it all out!)

I had a pair of H&M skinny black pants that already had a rip in one knee (thanks to me eating pavement on the way to class one day). I went to town on them with some scissors & ta-dah!



I must have gotten asked 24565 times if I was cold as I strolled around downtown.

"How Many Chanel Bags Do You Own?"

Here's a cute video from the Chanel Mobile Art opening. I love the all the answers from such a range of models, actresses, and fashion folk. I had a little giggle at Carine Roitfeld's answer- I'm not really a 'bag girl', either! (Though I definitely would not turn down the offer of a classic lambskin 2.55....preferably in bright red or yellow.)

"Twelve.....I think that's reasonable!"

Do It One More Time For Me

Nudibranchs

I think I have found my new totem animal and that is..... the NUDIBRANCH.
Okay, so maybe I don't really want to be represented by a slimy sea slug, but you gotta admit that these little dudes are pretty rad looking. The name isn't half-bad either! It makes me giggle.

A nudibranch (pronounced /ˈnjud ɪ bɹæŋk/ (BrE) or /ˈnud ɪ bɹæŋk/ (AmE)^[1]) is a member of one suborder of soft-bodied, shell-less marine opisthobranch gastropod mollusks, which are noted for their often extraordinary colors and striking forms. The suborder Nudibranchia is the largest suborder of heterobranchs, with more than 3,000 described species.

The word "nudibranch" comes from the Latin nudus, naked, and the Greek brankhia, gills.

Nudibranchs are often casually called "sea slugs", a non-scientific term. This has led some people to assume that every sea slug must be a nudibranch. Nudibranchs are very numerous in terms of species, and are often very attractive and noticeable, but there are a wide variety of other kinds of sea slugs, and these belong to several taxonomic groups that are not very closely related to nudibranchs. A fair number of these other sea slugs are colorful, and can be confused with nudibranchs. (merci, WIKIPEDIA)

She's Not There

One of the most underrated, bordering on criminally so, bands is The Zombies. I have been on a huge Zombies kick lately, and it got me scratching my head over why they aren't more popular.

Sure, they had Time of the Season (which wasn't even popular until after they broke up.) I'd hope most people would have an appreciation for that quintessential Sixties tune, even if they didn't know the band behind it. However, they've recorded many more songs that I think are even better at capturing that certain "Zombies" mood.


This Will Be Our Year- I honestly think this is one of the sweetest songs ever written. The vocals and melody just blend seamlessly. If (and this is a big if) I ever get married, I would want my first dance with my husband to be this. Case closed.


The Way I Feel Inside- Simple and raw. I loved how Wes Anderson used it in The Life Aquatic. Everyone has related to these lyrics at one point or another.

Other Notables.....

Care of Cell 44- I drove my roommate nuts playing this over & over this past spring semester. "Bum bum bum bum bum... FEEEELS SO GOOD"


Hung Up On A Dream-
Well I remember yesterday
Just drifting slowly through a crowded street
With neon darkness shimmering through the haze
A sea of faces rippling in the heat
And from that nameless changing crowd
A sweet vibration seemed to fill the air
I stood astounded staring hard
At men with flowers resting in their hair...
