Not only does Meryl hold the title of the original manic pixie dream girl, but she does so at an age three times that of one of our generation’s most well-known imp Kirsten Dunst (four, if you want to count starting with Dunst’s role in The Virgin Suicides as her ultimate pixie...

God reminisces: “Wow. I remember when all this was just a formless void.”
This could be the start of a beautiful friendship.
I just meant to forward GOOP to someone and instead I replied to GOOP. I hope it goes straight to Gwyneth! I’m already planning activities to do with her when she hops across the pond for a visit. Girls night out!

No, not the one in Red Hook. I don’t even know where Red Hook IS nor do I do things like grocery shop.

The Fake Steve Jobs blog is one of those sites that I just always forget to read and then when we are on the cusp of a momentus occasion like the introduction of the iMmaculateconception I take a look at a post and end up reading like 6 months of archives.

Sorry, but BOO. I’m all for a new National record, but christ, this is not a band that should be playing Radio City Music Hall. No band should! Rock bands were meant for Rock Venues. The National did a five night run at the Bowery in 2007; why don’t they do it again? Not the worst idea.
