So, I'm totally obsessed with the song "Home" by the Edward Sharpe and the Magnetic Zeros, so naturally I told Kate to listen to it and now she loves it as well. She also did some Wikipediaing and uncovered that the brains behind this rather large collective is this guy from L.A. named Alex Ebert. Now, this is interesting because Alex Ebert happens to also be from the band Ima Robot who Traci and I used to love and would spend shows fretting over the fact that man appeared to be running on cocaine. This is further interesting because Alex Ebert used to look and sound like this (note the haircut with squares carved in the side):
Now he has apparently grown some hair, deepened his voice, and created a cult of the happiest musicians in the world:
In either instance he appears to be having fun. It was confusing for me though, I'm not going to lie to you. And quite frankly I can't decide if I prefer the new-wave hair or the Hey Let's Go See What Charlie Manson And The Crew Are Up To style.

Wish lists with Mick
Alison: How bad will it look if I ask for a book called There once lived a woman who tried to kill her neighbor's baby?
Mick: I think you ask for these things just to try to cause trouble. How much could it cost? Buy it yourself and ask for something more appropriate.
I went with this advice and left it off the list, though did ask for Dead Weather and Dead Man's Bones CD's and a book about famous suicides. And Marc Jacobs perfume, since a girl who loves death themed things still wants to smell fabulous and own perfume bottles with plastic-y flower tops. P.S. If you want to get me something for Christmas or my birthday, I still want the book. The author is Russian, OK?

8 minutes of my life that I will not get back
I made the mistake of turning to the last 8 minutes of the Hills. Batgirl and I have debated whether or not we would watch the new season. She said no, I said I would probably check it out. I haven't been able to watch TV lately and the DVR is filling up. I have not DVRed the new season and saw it was on, so, why not let the DVR fill up further and watch the Hills "live" on TV?
There are about 5 reasons I could have come up with if I had given myself a chance to think, but alas. She Pratt is thinner than before (I think her big confession about her previous battle with bulimia was just a way to bring in the anorexia). There was a brief shining Lo moment but Kristin and JustinBobby washed that taste out of my mouth right quick. Remember how JB is irritating and full of stale sound bites? SO IS KRISTIN! So- them, together, on a date made me wish I had four hands to accommodate driving pencils through my eyes are ears at the same time. Will I be back? Eh. Maybe. I would like to say no but I know myself better than that.
PS- the 5 reasons are:
- Kristin
- JB
- Heidi
- Spencer
- Not Lauren
