it's over now, no need to talk about it

Ho! Man, I hate to wish anyone bad, but I am going to be glad to not see/hear Jon Peter Lewis anymore. I will refrain from all Hobbit jokes, etc. and just let the man be in his time of sorrow. Or something.

PS, why am I surprised every time that Quentin Tarantino is a cartoon of himself? I'm always like, "No way!" By now, I should know.

it helped me through spring just to dream of what it might become

This nonstop rain is sort of endearing in its suckiness. Kind of like me.

OK, so who else noticed Mike O'Neill playing with Sarah Harmer when she was on Ellen on Wednesday? Who else even knows who Mike O'Neill is? Well, I noticed. And I was happy for it.

In other "Who?" news, make sure you're at the Joel Plaskett Emergency show next Tuesday. 4/20 at the Mercury Lounge here in NYC. 9PM, $8.

she was all for all or nothing

how come every loser I get matched with on OKCUpid is "less sex-driven" than I? What a bunch of punks.

now that everybody knows all about me

1. Grab the book nearest to you, turn to page 18, find line 4. Write down what it says.

"I shall always remember my first visit to Boston" -- Strunk and White's The Elements of Style.

2. Stretch your left arm out as far as you can. What do you touch first?

an empty can of Diet Dr. Pepper.

9:52

5. Now look at the clock, what is the actual time?

9:47

7. With the exception of the computer, what can you hear?

The heat cranking up (springtime my butt), the TV, the cat stirring

7. When did you last step outside? what were you doing?

Last night. I left my mom's Easter luncheon to come on home.

8. Before you came to this website, what did you look at?

My Diaryland stats.

9. What are you wearing?

What I wore to bed last night: Carolina blue Old Navy yoga pants and a 9 or 10 year old Oasis T-shirt, navy with white stripes.

10. Did you dream last night?

I can't remember, but the night before was a doozy.

11. When did you last laugh?

There was a whole lot of laughing last night between 8:47 and 9:30. I don't remember laughing especially during "Arrested Development," and "The L Word" just wasn't funny. After that, there was serious talking and sleep. And work.

12. What is on the walls of the room you are in?

Yesterday, in my mom's apartment building, the elevator stopped on 1 (which is very annoying anyway) and a weird Polish man grumbled something and, instead of stepping on, ran away. A minute later, out front of the lobby, he walk toward me yelling something in Polish. I was about to have a total freakout, when I noticed there was an old Polish lady standing behind me. It still doesn't explain the elevator, though. Or why weird Polish people now live in my childhood neighborhood as well as my adopted neighborhood.

18. If you could change one thing about the world, regardless of guilt or politics, what would you do?

Bring back "Home Movies." That is a wildly reactionary answer. Really, I would grant myself a network with full creative control. This would include new episodes of "Home Movies" and plenty of on-air time for me me me.

19. Do you like to dance?

Yep.

20. Imagine your first/second child is a girl, what do you call her?

Ella.

Only if it was an English-speaking country, and only if I'm shacked up with a native. Is Canada abroad?

selling lemonade to the overpaid

Oh oh oh oh. I am sitting here crying and fainting over the greatness of a great song. It is the first video on this week's Subterranean, which I have on DVR and keep rewinding and rewinding. Or whatever you call it on a DVR.

The song is "Still in Love Song" by The Stills. It is the greatest great. Oh, it is so great. It is to cry. Like I do. I needed a new favorite song, since the greatness of "Kissing the Lipless" by The Shins has even started to fade to me.

"We were lovers/ We were kissers/ We were holders of hands/ We were make-believers."

Good God, that's great. How great? There's a 12-inch remix. That great.

So yeah, I'm home. I was happy to be home, then I realized I came home to this song. I never ever want to leave again.

And in case you missed 'em, my pictures of The Darkness are kind of hot. OK, very hot.
