• Why the hell are regular old fashioned Chuck Taylor's the usual $40 and the laceless versions over twice as much? 95 hot ones so I can slip it on? Not worth it. Am bummed because I had just gotten around to wanting some of these.


• For better or worse, I've become someone who lives in jeans and sneakers. An upcoming trip to London where I will be in situations for which I need to be a bit more posh has hammered home the fact that denim and kicks are not always appropriate, but I am at a loss. I have a feeling, half sinking, half celebratory, that I am never truly going to be an adult. For now I'm just going to buy a copy of British Vogue and feel awkward about myself.


• Great article in Slate today, complete with music clips, about Weird Rock in New York. Some interesting stuff... I think I like the Animal Collective.


• Must remember to fully explore linkdup.com for web-design inspiration.


• Elizabethtown was the worst movie I've seen in a long ass time. I guess I just needed to vent that.


• Next big thing? Smell tones for your phone. When someone calls, the phone emits a fragrance. Apparently the porn industry is all a-buzz with the possibilities. Eek.
