Rule, Brittaniea! Miss Beehive 1963
My dream outfits
Black and white, geometric figures. And I used to have that haircut, for like 10 years. Their version ain’t great, but I’ve also always loved this song.
Good enough for Jerry Lee
Someone posted this Jerry Lee Lewis version on “Me and Bobby McGee” to MetaFilter last night. I’ve never liked the song, and though I adore Jerry Lee, I agree with the commenter who said that he seems to be phoning it in here (even if “phoning it in” for JLL still rocks my bobby socks [...]
I wanna hold em like they do in Texas Plays
Gaga just played two sold-out nights in Houston. I went Sunday night for work. You can read my review here. Her music is mindlessly fun. But when she talks about her mission to free her fans of their insecurities, and when she talks about her relationship with her parents, she seems 100% legit, vulnerable and [...]
Chick Habit
Just a little yé-yé to tide you over until I can actually write something. I got back from (beautiful, glorious) Florida Monday evening and promptly took over for my wonderful editor at the paper, who is taking his own much-needed vacation, Tuesday morning. I am busy beyond belief and I am actually between trips — [...]
High brow vs. low brow
This weekend felt like it lasted forever. CLH has been busy trying to get his ’63 VNB running for Amerivespa, and I had two parties to go to in one day. Add to that the Buffett concert Thursday and two separate classes at Sheila Kelley’s S Factor (a.k.a. stripper school) and it was a busy [...]
I wish I had a pencil-thin mustache
Why yes, that is me, doing a down-down from a hallowed-out lawn flamingo while tailgating at a sold-out Jimmy Buffett concert. Here is my review from my first-ever Jimmy Buffet concert. I regret to inform you that I might now be a Jimmy Buffett fan. I am certainly no Parrothead, but I had a working [...]
My Blakean Year
Apparently I went to a different Patti Smith show last night than every one else in this town. Here’s Culturemap’s review, and 29-95′s recap. I didn’t give her a negative review, per se. I just said that she seemed a little lost when it came time for her to speak off the cuff. However, she [...]
She’s a hurricane in all kind of weather
I am sick of winter and sick of school, and although both are almost over all I can do is dream of our annual pilgrimage to Florida where I plan to do nothing more than lay under a beach umbrella every day with a book NOT required for my degree. Going to iFest this weekend. [...]
Lousiana Man
Been on a Cajun/zydeco kick this past week, thanks in no small part to my boss at the paper, who suggested we write about it. I had always known EastTex had a strong zydeco history but even with my French minor I was dumb to the fact that zydeco = les haricots. Language always fascinates [...]
I’m so tired
I remember reading a few years ago on Metafilter that tons of people who had gone to SXSWi came home sick. They jokingly called it SxSARS. After going to SXSW for the first time I understand. Only this week have I felt back to my normal self and not so affected by my lack-of-sleep hangover. [...]
