Conceptual art piece: create the titular.
That’s very Victorian.
Yes, but there’s not one bit bad about the Victorian. Civilized living for me is like this. I’m not a chambermaid whom you can ring at every moment. Today, you know, most people act like they work at a switchboard in a hotel.
(Sidenote: this is one of about eight thousand great quotes in this seven page interview. Ch-ch-check it out! http://www.viceland.com/int/v17n3/htdocs/karl-lagerfeld-369.php?page=4)
I feel terrible when I keep my Netflix for too long and cannot get myself to watch them! For example, I’ve had the following for the past week and a half:
Gimme Shelter (The Rolling Stones)
Full of classic renditions of “Sympathy for the Devil,” “Under My Thumb,” “Satisfaction,” “Jumping’ Jack Flash” and “Wild Horses,” this unvarnished documentary chronicles the Rolling Stones’ chaotic 1969 American tour. Starting off on a high note at a riveting New York City show, the film concludes in the aftermath of the infamous Altamont Speedway gig, where Hell’s Angels hired as security brutalized concert-goers (even killing one.)
See, I know it’s kind of an important film to have seen, but for some reason, I cannot get myself to watch it. I’m biting the bullet and sending it back. Lord, forgive me.
Sidenote: how do I get a job writing synopses for Netflix?

In the words of Annie Dillard…
Last night:
Head lice
Back in high school, ignoring the dress code
a locker without a door, and a sympathetic soul who proclaimed lockers and all they stood for “genteel” (this may not have been the word; it started with a “g,” and afterward was said to mean something superfluous that wealking bourgeoisie liked)
An ex-boyfriend, and the avoidance of him
Sleeping on the street
Cars parked without rhyme or reason
A phone booth on 63rd Street and Park Avenue in Manhattan
The night before:
The closed door to the place where many of my nightmares (awake and asleep) have occurred
I turn to a friend and say, “They ought to just open it. We know what’s behind there.”
I think my Gchats are funnier than Tao Lin’s! Yeah, that’s right, I went there…
My favorite people to chat with are PS:
ID: graves are not nearly used enough, as works of art
Sorry, but I’ve always been pretty upfront about the fact that Lost is more important to me than my real life.
INVOCATION FOR THE NEW SEASON OF LOST
A poem, by EW.com reader Tom Holland
May Lost be all you hoped for with answers swift and sound;
May the hours ripen quickly and joyfulness abound.
May Juliet not have died in vain with the pounding of her rock
Let Sawyer live free of pain and survive the coming shock.
May Jack and Kate deal with the things that frustrate us so much
And Sun and Jin share a time that allows them love’s fine touch.
Provide us with more moments that shine on Daniel’s mind
Oftentimes these are the clues the viewers need to find.
May Hurley break the ”curse” that follows him around,
Let his spirit salve the cuts our Losties may have found.
Give Sayid a solid peace he so desperately desires
Shield him from the evil plans that Ben tried to inspire.
Let us know where Claire has gone and how she stayed alive
And lead her back to Aaron’s life so motherhood survives.
Help us to remember Charlie’s sacrifice
Let it have more meaning than simply tumbling dice.
Give us a bright future for Desmond and his Penn
If a reboot is in store, let them find their way again.
Protect our dearest friends, the lovely Bernard and Rose,
Explain the young Walt’s powers before the end of shows.
Know we have a special place for Vincent in our hearts
Keep in mind our knees are weak from all the stops and starts.
Tie up the big loose ends like what happened to John Locke
Let us know what happens to the shepherd’s misled flock.
Inform us on the feud that has stained the beach’s soil,
Is Jacob the white light or just the loophole’s foil?
Does the Man-in-Black represent all that is so evil
Or does he just protect the island from upheaval?
But all these questions pale to one from our Lost designers
Are the eyes of Richard A. really natural or guy-liner?

20.) What’s inside the Temple?

40.) Geronimo Jackson!?!?!?!?!
41.) How did Eko’s drug plane land on the Island?
42.) How did Eloise and Charles come to live on the Island?
Taken from some other blog…
Reasons:
1. It’s Groundhog’s Day, though I heard that Punxsutawney Phil predicted six more weeks of winter. Sorry for those of you who don’t live near(ish) to the equator.
2. I got an email from my boss in which he asks if I would be willing to take tomorrow off. SURE. NO PROBLEM!
3. Amazing evening TV line-up for me this evening, the most important of which is the premiere of the final season of LOST, perhaps the most intelligent television show of all time. In order to prepare for this day, I have done the following:
a) Reviewed some of my notes from my college core curriculum classes, which were heavily focused on classical culture.
b) Rewatched 1/2 of the past season, and then the two final episodes, “The Incident” Parts 1 & 2.
c) Will watch the recap airing on ABC at 8 PM.
Then, the raisonne d’etre: the two-hour premiere! Some questions will be answered, many more will be asked. Let’s just hope Jeff Jensen of Entertainment Weekly doesn’t suffer a psychotic break.
3. Finish the end of the documentary Air Guitar Nation. Just look it up now.
4. Watch this week’s Millionaire Matchmaker at 11. Patti Stanger is sort of my new guru. Bitch lives her reality.
5. My friend Ralphy B., badass Indiana Jones-esque relic hunter, is interviewed by the New York Times! Ch-ch-check it out. http://www.nytimes.com/2010/02/02/nyregion/02experience.html?ref=nyregion
