Don't you think Lizzy and Hanna should start a band called The Sapphic Aryans?

Hello Cher!

Hello Laura Branigan! Sorry you died.

1/13/05: Dennis Cooper reading @ some high-brow art library place on Gramercy Park... Killer pedophiles! Mutilated teenage hustlers! The audience's nervous laughter!

Our view from the wobbly little balcony.

While everyone else was shmoozing, Jesse was huddled in the corner reading weird books from the fancy library. He especially liked this book of Mike Wallace's transcribed interviews from the 50s, and he expecially liked this picture of a smoking klansman on TV.

1/16/05: Matt's birthday @ his condo which is in a building called The Chocolate Factory cuz it used to be a chocolate factory.

Terry, Malerie and her awesome puffy sleeves.

Jessica, Sadie, Hope, booze, food.

Smiths Night was ridics crowded. Blame Martin Luther King Jr. for that.

Ryan doesn't think Moz is gay. I said, well then how do you explain the lyrics to "Hand in Glove," and he said, "maybe he's talking about being black." Happy Martin Luther King Day everyone!

Song of the day: I got this awesome box set called Left of the Dial: Dispatches from the '80s Underground It's total alternative nostalgia, like this one which is so goofy I love it: "Oblivious" by Aztec Camera

No one really changed, got different badges but they wear them just the same...
