Oh…
Now we know why we lost the House…

Sounds good
I might just pick this up. I'm glad they didn't repeat any tracks from Two Legs. There's a bunch of other songs I'd love to have on here, but these'll do just fine, World Wide Suicide and Porch especially.

Totally fine. In fact, call the next African-American person you see "colored". They'll laugh and shake your hand, I guarantee it 100%.

Fuck yes. I probably ate my weight in those things.

We all know Subarus are the MOST punk rock.

Alcohol/Addiction
It's cool that Phillips is has such empathy for people struggling with addiction, but I just can't get on board with his defense(?) of Mel Gibson. It's not like the demon drink put something in him that wasn't there before. It brought out what was already there and everyone has decided that he's a…

@ Lana:

I didn't know that was Hilary Duff until this writeup. So I'm the winner.

Yeah, if you're into the mochaccino.

AMONTILLADO
I had amontillado in New York City this past Christmas Eve (it was on the cordials menu and I was an English major…inevitable, really). I shared with everyone at the table and they all hated it. I thought it was fucking amazing, though. A HEAVENLY scent of toasted almonds and a buttery, delicious…

We watched a great film of The Tell-Tale Heart in 11th grade. I think it was Corman-produced. It was in black-and-white. And I don't mean grayscale, either, it was BLACK and WHITE. Visually very striking.

Shit, I tried to read Usher several times throughout my academic career and I never came even close to getting it. Hell, I may have never finished it. Not sure why. I just could never get into it.

My 10th grad honors English teacher had us read that one and we all agreed that it was FUCKED UP. One of my favorites.

I haven't read Masque in a long time but I remember it being amazingly dreamlike, like a real waking nightmare. Gothic costume ball…*shudder*

LOVE Masque Of The Red Death. I think no other story has ever deserved the description "nightmarish" as much.

Hop-Frog is so supremely fucked up. I loved that story. And also good call on Man Of The Crowd.

It's not…asshole cancer, is it?

That's exactly what I foresaw in the trailers, Rapist. Pretty much exactly why I have no desire to see this film, despite liking ZG, Downey and Phillips (to some degree).

How about "W." where she played a person doing a really shitty Condie Rice impression?

Wanna hear something funny? I barely use my iPod for music anymore. I only listen to the same 100 +/- songs total and pretty much only when I'm exercising. I use it almost exclusively for podcasts (which are free), mobile Internet and utility apps like news, weather, Facebook, Netflix, Amazon, etc.
