new poll time again!: but first we must close the old poll. the results in the fierce battle for sexiest man alive are in, and the winner is that guy that's sort of like george clooney but foreign on er with 30% of the vote. the second place prize goes to fred from steal this blog who had 15% of the vote (sorry to the person who wrote "for the love of god, not fred! not fred!" - next time, campaign for the person you want to win!). next is a tie between brad pitt and russell crowe, each with 10% of the vote. fourth goes to al pacino (?!), george clooney, and rupaul (?!?) in a three-way, each gaining 5%. coming in at a whopping 0% is william from big brother and harrison ford.
in case you were wondering about "other", it got 20% of the vote. but i've discounted all those votes because apparently girls are too stupid to leave comments, unlike boys - not a one "other" voter left a comment explaining who they were picking. i can only assume the guy who said he had "no idea what is sexy in guys" picked other, tho.
so now there's a new one, asking what your favorite film of the summer so far has been. vote! now!
pazz & jop: i know i'm kind of late on this, but someone asked me who won the village voice music poll this past year, so i looked it up. i was struck by something reading the list tho: their singles list is always so much better than the albums list. the albums list is always full of pretentious duds that even spin or rolling stone wouldn't touch, while the singles have such shiny happy examples of great pop (inexplicable inclusion of fiona apple not included). maybe it's just that i'm not much of a rock/folk person, and that i don't like moby, so i'm annoyed reading this. but if you read the singles then the albums, you'd think two different sets of judges voted on them.
jethro tull ends cybersquatting: good for them, but if you were a squatter, would you pick, out of all the things to pick, jethro tull?
i didn't think so. what was he thinking?
some email hilarity: "if there was a color to wear darker than black, i'd wear it." qualifies as quote of the day and next month's blogger header!
napster! part ii: so napster users are threatening to go elsewhere, eh, and boycott the industry? isn't that what they've been doing all along? "people who don't buy cds threatening to keep doing it! film at 11!"
is it time to quit your job?: i don't know about you, but according to this quiz, it's time for me to hit the highway. here's what it said:
oasis now suing organizers after walking out of gig: heavens to betsy, what is the world coming to? oasis are suing the organizers of a swiss music festival after "slanderous" remarks they made about oasis being "fragile" and lying about being pelted with bottles. the organizers, who were originally threatening a lawsuit after the walkout (for what?), have backed down on that, now saying that oasis is making a mountain out of a mole hill and needs to chill.
has there been an oasis tour where someone didn't walk out at least 5 shows? let me know.
thought for today: you know how in muriel's wedding she says that she wants her life to be an abba song? i want my life to be a jay-z song. not the depressing ones, of course, but the ones like the money ain't a thing and big pimpin'.
i wonder who everyone else would pick for their life song.

napster!: i thought maybe if it had an exclamation point, it'd seem like a cooler name. napster just sounds like a type of diaper. anyhow, since everyone seems to be lamenting their downfall (psst...you can get mp3s from places besides napster. shh, don't tell anyone), i'd like to tell you all a little trick that a friend gave me in a chat: tower records accepts returns on anything, including opened items. buy anything you like, tape it or record it to mp3 on computer, and then return it. problem solved, mon ami.
napster's problem is, by the by, that they trade mp3s so publically, like a massive band of merry mischief-makers trying to take down paid cds as we know it. of course they're going to annoy people. keep it quiet, dummies.
i just love those little pop ups on my directory up above. i'm so impressed with myself. just thought i'd share.
jerry hall's children want to see her naked: all i can say is gross. one thing i never want to see is my mom naked, but she's allowing her kids to come see her naked in the graduate, and her kids want to go.
an insider (wink wink) said that "not everyone would want their children...to see them naked, but she's an unusual woman." indeed.
building collapse in nyc - again: i can't find a news link to this anywhere (get on the ball, ny news stations), but i've gotten this from a chat with a friend who lives on the west side. a building has collapsed in mid-town nyc, at around 55th and 7th or 8th, which is a little west of rockefeller center. it has closed down several subways lines, like the 1/9 and supposedly the b/d/f. this is something like the 5th building collapse in the ny area in the month. what the hell? did nyc become a third world country and no one told me?
update!: fred found a news story about this. it seems my info was slightly wrong: it's 55th and Broadway.
everybody's talkin' 'bout pop music: while i'm not particularly fond of the other choices, st. etienne is a good one. the newest album is not their best work tho, jerwin. i'd highly recommend, if you have a spare $25, to buy the singles compilation, too young to die. if you liked the dancy poppy vibe on the new cd, you'll adore the compilation, especially the last half of it. ask anyone who has heard it.
i am not a "ms.": this is a fairly thoughtful article on the decline of "ms." as a courtesy title. for me, personally, i won't use ms. for myself (though anyone else is welcome to it and i'll respect their wishes and call them ms.) because it sounds icky. "miss sloane" sounds much nicer. "ms." makes me think of a dowager aunt who is also a school marm and a librarian. i know this is unfair and counterproductive, but it's true.
of course, if we could find a way to work what the author claims to be the old meaning of ms. (short for mistress, used for women of high power and authority and respect in the 1700s) into society, i'd pick it up in a flash. "mistress sloane" sounds so rock.
oh dear: andrij witiuk (i don't know how to pronounce it either, don't worry), the managing editor of maxim magazine (the one that puts pretty girls on their cover with ridiculously inflated-by-photoshop boobs sticking out) has announced his bid as an independent for the white house. who's his vp, larry flynt?

thomas and the magic railroad: what the fuck?
do you have good netiquette?: yahoo! (the bastion of good netiquette, with it's porno ads plastered everywhere when you look for 'lingerie stores') has developed this quiz. are you netiquette-savvy? find out!
problem is the test just seems to be a quiz of net abbreviations, i.e. brb, ttfn, lol, plus a series of ascii smileys and images. what the hell does this tell anyone? "you misused an ascii rose - how rude!"
scary movie: this is a very good article about real scary flix, unlike the garbage cluttering the screens for the past few summers. if you're looking for some good stuff to rent this weekend, start here and see if you hear anything you like.
britain: not the first toilet!: it seems that a 2,000-year old toilet (complete with running water and an arm-rest - why don't modern toilets have arm-rests?) was discovered in china in the tomb of one of the kings of the han dynasty.
this, like the patriot and hyperlinking, is going to piss off the english, who've claimed they invented the toilets for years now. does anything original come from the uk? let me know, ok?
nbc concerned over aol-time warner merger: the claim is it'd be too big and powerful of a company. a problem that is nothing similar to nbc-ge-microsoft, honestly.
chain letters!: i got that link in a chain letter in the mail (it's cute, you'll smile, read it), and it told me to send it to at least 10 people. i thought that posting it online was easier than forwarding it. so you have to look, otherwise i'll have bad luck and die. and no one wants that, right?
speaking of smiling, am i the only person who thinks it's hilarious the way that, no matter what you put as your mood, imood.com displays a happy face next to it? i love writing 'suicidal' and having a happy face pop up next to it.
it's that time again...: time for mtv video music awards! here are the noms for video of the year:
"dick cheney is keyser soze!": wierdest line of the day right there. to get down to business, the vp choice has been made, and it's thankfully not john mccain. this article does point out the obvious tho: does g.w. bush want to push away all moderates?
by the by, it's whip it out wednesday! have fun! the week is halfway over, so be happy.
7.25.2000
adorable blogs: i've decided, since i'm a bit bored and human click is down so i can't talk to my friends, to go through the recently updated list and find some blogs with some good design. note that this is simply an admiration of design, not necessarily content (though i probably like their content well enough too). with no further ado, design!
u can't touch this came out in 1990: and, apparently, this person is responsible for its fame. or so he seems to be claiming.
update!: since my criticism, he's since changed the article to make him sound less self-absorbed. i was having such fun too.
you have got to be kidding me: a judge has upheld a $2.25 million award in a lawsuit put forth, in part, by steven fucking spielberg (who needs the money, honest), because of "emotional distress" suffered while on a plane ride to new york that experienced turbulence. now, i don't know about you personally, dear reader, but i've never in my life been on a plane where turbulence wasn't at least a minor supporting player in the drama. i've been in some pretty horrible turbulence.
but i am also not a rich snothead who thinks the world is owed to him, a la mr. spielberg. so i never thought to sue an airline because of, basically, the weather.
this is, in example format, why i hate the entire universe, to be quite honest with you. people like steven spielberg and his family exist. i will not live a happy existance until his existance ends.
concorde smashes a hotel: the world's only supersonic plane has smashed into a hotel just outside france. just wonderful; really makes you want to fly on advanced technology when you hear the damage it's done.
robbie williams: off his rocker: his next single after rock dj contains lines referencing sodomy, sure to be a big winner with uk censors.
by the way, when did kylie minogue become famous again?
did you know...: the first condoms made from rubber appeared in the 1870s, and were expensive and annoyingly thick. a man was instructed to wash it before and after use, and reuse it until it cracked or tore. this from useless sex facts!
link snagged from quiddity, which is fabulous looking.
teen poppers and regis: not as greedy as you think: some good news for sag: britney spears, n'sync and regis philbin have all cancelled tv spots that were non-union in recognition of the strike, as has john elway and spike lee. britney is even donating $1 per every ticket sold for her upcoming ingelwood concert to the sag foundation. i guess not everybody is elizabeth hurley.
eminem's dirty little secret: he was a mork and mindy devotee.
7.24.2000
quote of the day: "i'm .0556% better than you."
i have no idea why this was said, but it's great.
a patch for chocolate?: a la the nicotene patch, scientists are developing a patch for chocoholics! this is not really good news to me, because i hate chocolate. but for the rest of you, i'm sure, this is cause for celebration. apparently this patch releases "whiffs" (?) of vanilla to help reduce cravings (you'd think they'd choose whiffs of chocolate, but i'm no scientist). the people in the experiment lost an average of 5 lbs. can't wait for the slenderizing to begin!
second santa clause on the way!: put this on the list of things to be ecstatic about in life. apparently, the sequel will be the story of santa, like most people, trying to balance his work and his personal life. fabulous.
sex and the single blog: i have had three people come here today alone on a search for sex, and four over the weekend, and one searching for porn. which leads me to believe there are some strange people out there. but to indulge them, the last time i had sex was three days ago. if you want the details, you'll have to email me.
strange site alert: it seems to just list loads of untaken urls. i'm just curious as to why someone would do this, seemingly no strings attached. it's nice to see someone doing something for someone else's benefit, as opposed to making cold hard cash.
ohmigod, me too!: i, like jerwin, have also been accepted into the xavier's school for gifted youngsters. here's my prof:
i'm sick of all these fashion don'ts: i try to be forgiving, but this is my pet peeve: girls that wear halter tops with bras. the whole point of a halter top is to show off your back and shoulders. don't oddly protruding bra straps hinder this line? it's absolute misery watching some poor girl walk around like that, thinking she looks like hot shit. i just want to grab them and yell, "no bra straps!" if you're that busty, find a halter top with a built-in bra (they exist, i have some. express and lerner both sell them, and i do believe shoshanna lonstein also makes them, if you want to spend $500 on a halter), or don't wear them! the thing was, the girl i just saw was flat-chested, which makes it even more of a senseless crime against fashion.
molestation for fun and profit: so i'm ripping off chris, but he won't mind because he does it to me on a near daily basis. anyway, he's discussing teensplotation flix, and has discovered something quite grim in the hopefully-bombing-please-god loser: apparently drugging women to have sex with them is a topic deemed funny by the producers of this film. fabulous. just what is needed.
now she just wants to date him: next it'll be "just friends". what did william do to make brit not want to marry him anymore?
