I'd say five different people have had this account over the last two-and-a-half years.

A friend of a friend of a friend IMs me unexpectedly, and the following results. (Names changed for obvious reasons.) me: How are things? her: ohhh bad question her: please dont ask that me: I take it back. Instead, I will remain blissfully ignorant of how things are. her: thank you her: i too am ignorant to those things her: just not quite so blissfully A little later... her: feed me so i can vomit already her: shit her: im sorry her: i should be quiet me: Whoa. You're not "emotionally troubled" are you? her: hahahah druggily troubled me: You high right now? her: and in pain her: oh im not high her: im something her: not sure what her: but i am never doing drugs again her: ever her: except for smoking pot her: that i will continue her: but no drugs me: Are you this frantic in real life, too? her: even more so her: my bed is full of sand and i saw jesus holding a lantern on the ocean last night her: along wiht a fellow doing tai chi me: I'm frightened. Hold me. Later, still: her: please forgive me, im ussually not this strange her: i don't think me: Yeah, you're weirding me out, here. her: why> me: You find nothing you've said here--when taken as a whole--the slightest bit offbeat? her: but thats easy to explain her: im on drugs me: For what? her: for my pleasure her: but it turned into HELL me: What did you take? her: and i'm dying from it her: oh man her: dont ask me: If you're gonna tell me all this, I feel compelled to ask. her: hmm her: yesterday morning i did some coke her: then some x her: smoekd a bit of pot her: i thihnk her: and at 330 this morning i took 2 and a half hits of acid her: its the acid dude her: the acid me: Yet you still find time to surf the net.

I don't have to answer that.

Hey, should I go out drinking tonight. Keep in mind this will make four nights in a row.

That last picture is almost as good. Maybe I'll just rip off and steal the cover.

But I can't bring my computer to the bathroom.

Yeah, she is. I'm totally buying this and jacking off to it tomorrow.

Shut up.

And Hilary Duff only turned 17 two days ago. Jesus Christ. This is God's way of torturing me for being an atheist.

Last I heard, she was dating a 16-year-old. Last I saw, she looked coked to the gills. I suppose none of the above sways you, however.

Density?

Half-italian, with scandanavian and jew making up the rest.

I haven't listened to TOtBL in awhile; were Paul Banks' vocals as double-tracked as often as it is on this album? I was thinking about that a lot as I listened to Antics a second time. Which probably isn't a good sign.

I've only listened to it once thus far, and I'm indifferent. Might be a grower.

This Michael Keaton film looks stupid, by the way.

I've only read White Noise and Mao II. I need to branch out. And look here: http://www.imdb.com/title/tt0421004/ No one should bother making this into a film, especially that guy.

I was relieved that it wasn't. I'm rereading that book right now. All the kids are great, but I kinda wanna slap them. Especially Heinrich.

I had nothing to do with that.

Eyeball Kid DJ Jeff Squirtle! David Schwimmer (on two non-consecutive occasions) EDIT:

Weezer's on the list of Bands Who'll Never Make a Good Album Again.

MarioLogan was worse than AIDS.

No one cares what you think. Leave the thread before you embarass yourself further.

So I listened to an official promo copy of this today, and boy, what a pile of shit. Kweli sounds lost in all the radio-friendly beatzzz; either his style doesn't mesh with the 106 & Park-ready club tracks (yes, as early reports indicated, he does some frigging club tracks on this album), or, even worse, he dumbs down his flow to make it more mainstream. If the shout out to him on The Black Album ends up exposing a lot of people to Talib Kweli and The Beautiful Struggle (and, given what a desperate grab for commercial success this album is, I imagine that's what Mr. TK Greene hopes), then Jay-Z's praise of Kweli looks foolish.
