FILM: Avatar

Probably the funniest review of Avatar I've heard to date from my favorite Color Hater. Still haven't seen it, and I've gotten wildly mixed reviews. Thoughts? (Marcel, I already know you loved it... )


I HATED EVERYTHING, THE STRETCHED EAR THE NATIVE GIRL HAD, THE PARAPLEGIC MARINE, SIGOURNEY WEAVERS BALLSY 'TUDE', THE GLO-DOTS THAT ADORNED THE SMUFF MUTANTS, THE PAPYRUS FONT USED FOR SUBTITLES WHEN THEY WERE SPEAKING NA'VI... DON'T EVEN GET ME STARTED ON THAT SEX SCENE.

SO NO, I DO NOT THINK AVATAR WAS THE BEST FILM OF THE DECADE. OR OF YESTERDAY.
BECAUSE YESTERDAY I ALSO SAW ALVIN AND THE CHIPMUNKS - THE SQUEAKQUE. AND YES, IT WAS BETTER. (EVEN THOUGH JASON LEE GOT STUCK IN HOSPITAL FOR THE WHOLE FILM)

EVENTS: Super Bowl Sunday



Congratulations to the New Orleans Saints! NO deserves it...

Megan C, Mary, Sunny and I all dressed in our finest (we were going to the Sunday Soulcial after) met up at Soda in Prospect Heights to watch football, eat wings and fries and drink cold beer. How else would we want to spend our Sunday evening? And anyway, who says four classy gals can't enjoy a little sporty rivalry. It's also a good excuse to eat bad food and watch the good commercials. Watch this one from Google, it's cute and super girly - guess they were looking out for all the girlfriends who had to watch the game. Thanks goo.

MUSIC: Brian Jonestown Massacre



About to interview this dude in a couple hours... really interested in what he has to say, as I've seen and heard that it can be very unpredictable. Anyway, doin' it all for the WC. Stay tuned for our next issue with an exclusive interview from Anton Newcombe and info on the new Brian Jonestown Massacre album, Who Killed Sgt Pepper?, which marks the return of his long lost bandmate Matt Hollywood. Oh to be a tortured artist/musical visionary.

Here's a new track from the album. Check iiiiit.

COMMUNITY: Jury Duty Blows



Today I got a little taste of what it's like to be involved in the whole judicial system bs.

I got a summons about a year ago saying that I needed to serve my community by doing jury duty, but I kept putting it off by extending the date of when I had to go.  Until today that is.  I ended up getting discharged and don't have to do it again for another eight years.  Thank god.  But before I found that out I had to sit in a room for like seven hours.  The only thing I could do to entertain myself was flirt with this 50 year-old Latino man that was giving me the "eyes" whenever I looked up. I also read my book about where our souls reside in between lives. Shit is crazy though, I can only read it in small doses.

Anyway, I know I was lucky compared to those poor people I shared the day with that disappeared one-by-one as they got summoned to rooms to be questioned by attorneys.

I'm glad it's over.

EVENTS: Sunday SOULcial @ 200 Orchard



It's true... I could only stay away for so long. I'll be DJ'ing this Sunday with Liz at 200 Orchard, and it's a great excuse to have a Welcome Home party from my long travels down under! Hopefully you can make it out to have a couple cocktails, give me a big squeeze and kiss and stay for a little booty shaking. Missed you all so...
