why the times is lame: underwhelming media coverage and sobriety?

Boo NYT. bah. we are so tired of the times' lame twitter obsessive fawning.

10:03 AM Charlotte Young:
ahhh another one of these out of touch nyt articles we hate. !!! the nyt reporting on media in an inane outdated way. like when your dad asks you about music and is like hey, have you heard of death cab for cutie. or even more appropriately the way your parents send you emails with golf jokes, or political humor. its like that, somehow.
Andy Lauer:
ya, it's better than their articles about how rich people are suffering due to the economic downturn
10:04 AM Charlotte Young:
they do both those things incredibly poorly
Andy Lauer:
Re: article. "a woman at South by Southwest uses her cellphone in the old-fashioned way, for talking, a rarity here."
HMMmmmmMMM
Charlotte Young:
!!CELL PHONES? FOR TALKING!!
and theyre like we can roll twitter into SXSW- ALL THINGS HIP AND TRENDY!!!! (still bitter everyone left me and went to austin)
um also the woman in that picture is fucking ugly. like could they have chosen a more unappealing picture to represent antiquated technology. things the nyt does not understand: facebook, twitter, the middle class. However i only read the style/arts sections perhaps there's alot they're doing well, in other sections.
Andy Lauer:
you mean "do well" like this? whoopie pies. hard hitting.
Charlotte Young:
Those are beautiful cookies. or covering fashion week. i was down with that. pictures, slide shows, i also like those audio slideshows? you know the one about winter coats.
Andy Lauer:
ohhh yaa
Andy Lauer:
do you ever read the "proof" blog, about drinking. it's fucking terrible.
Charlotte Young:
about all the movements in bars?
Andy Lauer:
'cause it's all about people who have STOPPED drinking. like recovering alcoholics. talking about how happy they're sober now. sometimes they talk about cool shit.
Charlotte Young:
oh. recovering alcoholics. theyre depressing.
10:11 AM Andy Lauer:
but it's like....why is your blog about alcohol all about beings sober
10:12 AM Charlotte Young:
no one wants to read about sobriety
except other recovering alcoholics



poop on a bitch

Charlotte Young:

Andy Lauer:

Charlotte Young:
No, they lost to arnet mead last time.
Andy Lauer:
oh ya i hate lorraine too
Charlotte Young:
i dont hate her
Andy Lauer:
i'm sorry but dementia is not license to be a raging bitch
Charlotte Young:
she allows for matt to be the best, like the best man. i mean matt is a better man than anyone except coach.
1:16 PM Andy Lauer:
what do you think of matty's mom
1:17 PM Charlotte Young:
Its weird, because she's bizarrely present now and super supportive. i bet she'll run out soon. and matt will be taught again about self reliance.
Andy Lauer:
ya...things are going a little TOO well. he'll learn the hard truth once again that EVERYONE LEAVES HIM.
Charlotte Young:
hahaha. EVERYONE LEAVES ME. that shower scene from last season was soo good.
Andy Lauer:
i know, i still think about it, so raw
Charlotte Young:
ahhh MATTs in the game
saracen blocks for riggins!!!!
EROTIC
matt saracen is making the difference.
1:21 PM Andy Lauer:
eeee
Charlotte Young:
i love the football. its so exciting. especially cuz its on NBC. cash is all bad.
1:22 PM Andy Lauer:
i know. bad news. tyra got herself into this mess tho
Charlotte Young:
what a f'ing loser
Andy Lauer:
hopefully she'll learn to fly straight and listen to ms taylor for like the 100th time.
1:23 PM Charlotte Young:
awww. date night. for the taylors. coach knew what she wanted. just like with the house debacle from last season. ALL SHE NEEDS IS HER FAMILY (COACH TAYLOR).
Andy Lauer:
yeahhh tami is such a milf
Charlotte Young:
haha . tyraaa!! why you gotta fuck up the date!
Andy Lauer:
i know
Charlotte Young:
WHAT A FUCKUP
Andy Lauer:
coach was just about to get lucky. i dunno why she didn't call landry. it's not like he was in the middle of gettin busy.
Charlotte Young:
i know. exactly. its cuz she needed tami to help her fly straight. she didnt need another man, she needed a positive woman
Andy Lauer:
ya, true
Charlotte Young:
dude it must be like 6 hours away from dillon to dallas. if not more. the taylors are the best parents in dillon
Andy Lauer:
ya, the best parents in TX. i like that tami continues to drink champagne while they drive, which is totally illegal
Charlotte Young:
maybe not in texas. texas is like that. you can get margaritas at drive thrus. i did it once. when i was in west texas. holler. it was like a pilgrimage.
ohh riggins is so cute. 'wanna come out and play'.
Andy Lauer:
oh...i didn't like that
Charlotte Young:
well thats the way he would do it. playful style, reality dodging. its so reallll. "He's on board, he's on board."
Andy Lauer:
ya, i don' tunderstand tho
Charlotte Young:
what dont you understand?
Andy Lauer:
he must have like literally a 0 GPA
Charlotte Young:
yah, haha, yeah but he could have like a C?
because of the rally girls?
Andy Lauer:
o right, they do his work
Charlotte Young:
good enough work- bad attendance- excellent football for a texas football school? it makes sense, he could get in.
Andy Lauer:
ya. do you think tyra's gonna get into college?
Charlotte Young:
no. she's going to end up in dillon for another year/season.
Andy Lauer:
she's made big strides but i feel like the show is gonna have to punish her for this fling with cash
Charlotte Young:
she didnt genuinely keep up her effort and she'll be fucked like her sister and mom.
Andy Lauer:
ya exactly
Charlotte Young:
exactly with cash punitive action.
its all cumulative. this show is so like...greek ... tragedy style. fate, destiny, justice, punishment.
Andy Lauer
haha. Clear eyes, full hearts, cant loose.

Swagger Like A Pokemon

yes.

I Regret Nothing

You might be wondering why we haven't updated this thing since October. The fact is, Gracie and I WOULD have been updating...if there was anything to update about. The fact is, nothing noteworthy has happened since October 3, 2008. And do you know how I know nothing important has happened since October 3, 2oo8? Because if something had, don't you think you'd see it on this blog?

Silly.

And thanks to S.C. for alerting us to this.

A Rossetti Morning: Feeling Amorous?

Just in case anyone needs to be emasculated for the weekend, lets check out another imposing Rossetti stunna and one of his poems, maybe this is one of the verses he dug out of his wife's Lizzie Sidel's grave! COOL!

Bocca Baciata
The Mouth that Have Just been Kissed
(slut)

What smouldering senses in death's sick delay
Or seizure of malign vicissitude
Can rob this body of honour, or denude
This soul of wedding-raiment worn to-day?
For lo! even now my lady's lips did play
With these my lips such consonant interlude
As laurelled Orpheus longed for when he wooed
The half-drawn hungering face with that last lay.

I was a child beneath her touch, -- a man
When breast to breast we clung, even I and she, --
A spirit when her spirit looked through me, --
A god when all our life-breath met to fan
Our life-blood, till love's emulous ardours ran,
Fire within fire, desire in deity.

Gabriel Dante Rossetti

go get em playa!

Debate Previews or Just Another Palin Drive-By...

Here's what "qualified" journalists (from the New York Times) have to say about tomorrow night's debate between the lovely Sarah Palin and that other guy. We'll have our own preview up soon, and of course we'll be live blogging during the debate. Because live blogging is like, the hottest thing ever. The hottest! STAY TUNED!

What if WE Were [drunk] Palins?

Sarah and Todd at the Inaugural Ball (in Alaska!)

Well, I'm glad you asked. I know many of us fantasize about being members of the perfect American family, the Palins. With photoshop and some handy scripts, we can learn what it feels like to be a Palin! If we were Palin Spawn, I'd be Shoulder Frontier Palin and Andy would be Churn Scorpion Palin, according to the Palin Baby Name Generator. Which seems pretty appropriate. Now on to the heart of the matter, the burning question, what if we were Sarah and Todd? Well, first of all it'd be hot. And a little unfocused. And very loving. Perhaps a bit homicidal. But mostly hot. Check-ck-ck it out.

Us and Beautiful Baby Trig
