We're bad friends for not mentioning it sooner: you should go check out the now days-old (but still awesomely-named) blog of our pal Sommer. Sadly, puns on my name are only funny to drummers.

With Kanishka's help I wrote a SummerSlam preview for DCist, and accidentally got excited about it. So yeah -- we'll be getting the pay-per-view on Sunday, and it will no doubt be awesome. Would anyone care to join us? You don't have to know what a hurricanrana is to attend, but you have to want to know.

heh. you gotta love that radiohead has a blog. complete with photos.

i'm hanging out in my PJs, watching vh1 videos (it's just like summer vacation in high school!) and, UGH, the man who has made me more excited for the fall tv schedule than i have been since season three of buffy the vampire slayer is playing mariah carey's love interest in her video for "we belong together." this just seems wrong.

by the by, speaking of tv, i have to thank susan for heartily recommending veronica mars. i never watched it last fall, but i've been catching the UPN summer reruns and it's excellent. sigh. what am i going to do without tivo next year? i suppose a) study and b) get rid of tv brain rot. so sad.

UPDATE: could gwen stefani's video for "cool" be any more awesome? i have to say i didn't really like the song until i saw the video, and then it all fell into place, and it's the awesomest 80s song ever written in 2005. plus, she looks gorgeous as a brunette.

oh my god. i need a life. please help me.
