Fuck it, it's Friday... your favorite early-80s synth pop remembrance for the next five minutes: "Don't You Want Me," Human League. (This song was playing during my last hair cut. I couldn't stop moving in the chair. I completely forgot the awesomeness of the class battle in the opening verse. And then that second verse!)
Was it this haircut?

That video would have been much cooler if the car was a Dodge Aries. I'm sure Marsh used to have one up in White Bear.

Just so you know Rex, I'm gettin' started early on the Friday blog take-over. It's been dead quiet over here for too long...s4xton's last pizza post got more action than you've seen in months. just sayin.

Did Baron ever end up selling his twitter account? He started following me (on twitter they other day, and I was scared to follow back, as it might have been a total stranger that I have never met online, unlike Andrew, who I have never meet period.

Michael Arrington on the cover of Time. Crap or Total Bullshit?

1) Yes, that haircut.
2) I don't really blog -- I link! A lot.
3) Andrew backed out of selling his account.

Hey, Paul! Is this where the party is at?
There's some sex blogger at the Smitten Kitten this weekend. I might check her out. She's friends with a friend, and, I think, Chuck.

Every blogger in Minneapolis has emailed me to say that Rachel Kramer Bussel is going to be in Minneapolis. It's cute how you all get excited about the kids I see stumbling around Lower East Side every night. :)

Yes. We're cute. We don't have a Julia Allison to get all a-twitter about, so we'll just have to make do with New York's leavings.

When you're done with that Human League video, try some Simple Minds.

How serendipitous, because it's Jo Callis' birthday today (I don't know if she's the blonde or brunette singer, though)...

This place was better when just Rex was here.

Trenchcoats trenchcoats everywhere! Hmm, I had the blond girl's haircut about 8 years later. Come back 80s, come back...

Link-bater is the politically correct term Marina. Let's get back to hating on Julia. I'm sure you have an opinion dear.

What's the plan for the weekend? I'm putting down marble tile in the kitchen.

Rachel is no kid (though she is younger than you, Rex), and I'd say she's too busy working and traveling to be "stumbling around the LES."
I'm glad to hear that more than three Minneapolites know who she is, though. I hope she leaves a legion of fans here.

Also, I don't know who Julia Allison is but I know I'm tired of reading about her on blogs. A quote from a friend:
"I never want to hear the name Julia Allison again in my life. It's like watching nerds try to drive a popular but stupid girl to suicide, for no reason than they are drunk with empty power. Thus, I have also unsubscribed from Gawker. I had enough of bullies when I was in high school."

whatever TP, I love Julia Allison.

Oh Lex. I love when you get feisty.
Yes, of course, Rachel is no kid. I think you're interpreting condescension where there was none. Though, I disagree on one point: EVERYONE is too busy in NYC media to stumble around the bar scene, but everyone does it because it's practically a job requirement.
As for Julia, well, I've recently learned that no one who reads this blog cares about her, so I'm cutting off those links. But I will say that your friend's characterization is hilarious -- Julia as the victim of the nyc blogosphere. She would laugh at that one.
And what's Gawker?

I don't get the cupcake fetish tho...it seems like a trend I could do without.
Marina, I only have enough in me to love my wife and you....there's not enough left for Julia...only spite and vitriol, which by happenstance are tattooed on my knuckles.

I wasn't getting feisty Rex, but I suppose you couldn't know that with only text and no intonation.
I doubt he was referring only to bloggers that currently live in NYC, but then again I'm clueless about the subject.
