C-ya
I'm done with this again. Sometimes I see things that are funny and I think "perfect for Burned out Paradise!" but I am tired of thinking in blog terms. So now I'll probably just let stories about amusements and Adventures in Step Class bump around in my head.
To distract yourself I will tell you my favorite blogs and you can develop new diversions and obsessions, and then we can all get together and discuss the weird voyeurism of blog-reading (Chris):
1) ULTRAGRRRL www.ultragrrrl.blogspot.com (Hipster haters might want to avoid this site, but I like her and also this is where I found out about the Killers so long ago in early 2004).
2) I KEEP A DIARY www.ikeepadiary.com (This guy is friends with ultragrrrl and it's all funny pictures of he and his friends out boozin', so any discomfort with blog-reading is multiplied by 1000 here. But the captions are wicked funny and it is oddly addictive).
3) CITYRAG cityrag.blogs.com (This can be annoying sometimes with more references to College Humor than I would prefer. But they do a digest of celebrity gossip so you don't have to suffer though Pink is the New Blog. If you're all intense about Jessica and Nick and Britney and Kevin news though, go to Perez Hilton or D-Listed.)
4) GAWKER www.gawker.com (I recommed Friday's "Blue States Lose" where they make fun of party pics from the likes of Cobrasnake and Last Night's Party.)
5) I SOCIAL CLIMB isocialclimb.blogspot.com (Another buddy of Ultragrrrl's but it's a lot about fashion, esp. men's, which I think is interesting. And lately a bunch of pictures of f-ed up Pete Doherty)
6) WONKETTE www.wonkette.com (Snarky DC political gossip. Whatever, I'm from DC...It's in my general constitution to read stuff like this and to use words like consitution).
7) INKEDBLOG www.inkedblog.com (The best site ever about tattooing).
8) BAGHGDAD IS BURNING riverbendblog.blogspot.com (An amazing blog from Iraq, written by a chick)
9) BUNS AGAIN scarletfaith.blogspot.com (My buddy scarlet and her flower arranging, germophobic, lovely ways)
10) GO FUG YOURSELF gofugyourself.typepad.com (red carpet criticisms).
These are not places to improve yourself (with the possible exception of BAGHDAD IS BURNING) but who wants to do that on the internets anyhow?
Later, dudes.

grosser than gross
My friend Mihaela went to Brazil with her tiny friend Heather a little while ago, and sent me the Shutterfly pictures that Heather took of the trip. Some of the pictures, such as the one above, referred in its caption to a "creepy monkey."
I took one look at that and was like, "That's no creepy monkey, that's a sloth!" which just so happens to be my arch enemy in the animal kingdom.
I think it is so horrifying that she is handling it. And wearing white pants with a pink stripe while doing it, to boot.
Wait-- which is grosser?

Don't date models or this will happen to YOU
I know it is kind of played-out to cite Pete Doherty when espousing a drug-free lifestyle, but CHRIST. Look at this guy.
What's killing him is heroin, but what kills ME is that even when he isn't totally blitzed, he's still ugly! Man, oh man. This guy is not only a testament to the virtues of sobriety, but more so to the power of a rock star to hook a model.
Don't you LOVE how he is wearing a Burberry scarf?!
I got this from my new favorite blog I social climb.
[Flavored Potatoes, your Google search is "Pete Doherty drugs"]
