I wouldn't call her 'working class', Todd… she's from one of the most affluent areas of Auckland (and thus one of the most affluent areas of New Zealand), which is what makes her "we didn't come from money" line so laughable.

My dad had some of his solo stuff, one was a concept album about tarot cards and another seemed to be about some kind of dystopian future.

I hadn't heard this song since circa 2000 but still get it stuck in my head sometimes.

I eated all of the potato chips

I couldn't hear it very well but I got the impression that it was some kind of shitty cover of Rock n Roll rather than the actual Velvet Underground?

You people don't know Alicia Witt when you see her? I guess I may be the only one still harbouring a crush on her from Cybil/Four Rooms…

Yeah, I watched The Canyons the other week and, while it was in no way 'good', it was eminently watchable: beautifully shot but let down by banal dialog and terrible acting by Deen and the other male lead. I thought Lohan's scene in the restaurant at lunch with Christian's assistant was some proper decent acting.

I'm still a little gutted John Krasinski didn't get it, The Avengers could have used more easy charm and mugging at the camera whenever Joss Whedon slipped in awful one-liners.

What, it came up organically!

I decided tonight that I'm all about Hannah/Ray as otp.

I was pretty impressed with Jessa's all-star rehab, featuring Withnail, Taystee and Kim Gordon.
