Talk about "crazy" in love!

Well, Evan Rachel Wood and Marilyn Manson have gotten back together again, again. I'm assuming he did so in hopes of not re-living last Christmas when he called her 158 times and marked each call with a nice razor blade cut on his hands or face (he never mentioned if she got the chance to actaully answer any of the calls or if any of the cuts made a fun snowflake shape so it looked like his face was snowing). I mean if that's not holiday joy, what is? And, we can only further assume that she was charmed back by his additional statement that he has "fantasies every day about smashing her skull in with a sledgehammer." Hey, Evan Rachel! Fun gift idea! Give him a sledgehammer for Christmas and see who wins! And by wins I mean loses. Santa and Mrs. Claus got nothin' on these two kooky lovebirds! And by birds I mean Good Luck With That.

Alex Ebert: Compare and Contrast!

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.

Just in time for the holidays...

Happy Birthday That Girl!!

It's Kate's birthday! Kate and I have been friends for a decade now and she remains fun and fabulous through it all! So here's to That Girl, a loyal friend and an excellent Thanksgiving dinner-maker. Happy birthday!

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?
