So the wedding went off without a hitch, Holly looked beautiful, Joe was very handsome, and all the groomsmen were on best behaviour.
I took a million pictures but on FILM. Yes, with one of those old-timey 35 mm cameras. Now I have to wait for the photos to be developed. This also involves me actually bringing the film out to a store, so it could take forever. The four shots below are all I got with my Elph.

We're out of state for the weekend, but there's things going on in Brooklyn that we would be doing if we were here.
Dirty Found - a presentation of the stuff that, like Christina Aguilara, is to d-i-r-r-t-y for Found Magazine - at Monkey Town in the Burg on Friday night and the Dirtbombs at Southpaw in the Slope on Saturday. Like my Williamsburg and Park Slope abbreviations? Me too. I'm too cool to say full words anymore.
So yeah, we leave for Maryland for Joe & Holly's wedding this weekend. YAY!
Fun study - the secret cause of flame wars.
See ya next week.

HAPPY VALENTINES DAY

My husband found this old fashioned Catholic church candle altar on craigslist. It is the best craigslist find EVER. It also happened to be owned by some indie-kid couple just around the corner from us and Jim was able to roll it home (with Chris G's help of course.)
Craiglist is also for lovers. Or hookers. That last one was funny 'cos it was probably like the most scandalous thing to happen in Brookline, MA in the past decade.
Aaaahhhhhhhh...cupid. I'm a sucker for love stories. And valentines and chocolates and of course, mix tapes or, nowadays, mix cds. Here is an awesome mix tape, voiced by Charlie S. as an twelve year old. You really should have clicked that link. Then you would know what I meant when I said - Your eyes are like marbles? that look like diamonds? from Eurasia?
Celebrity valentines for your loved ones.
You have a broken heart? How bout an Emo Bear?
Hating on Valentines day is just so passe. I don't wanna hear any of your its-just-a-corporate-holiday-V-day-makes-me-lonely bullshit. I wanna see hearts and red and shit...Valentines are fun. Pink is good! Hallmark released research that we all even like the same cards. Isn't that sweet?
You can even order the omnipresent Shit Bitch Bear from back in the 05.
I love Jim and all but all I got him this year were these Law & Order cards. I did however agree last night that if he ever gets a mil in the bank, he can get a grill for his teeth. Or least, y'know a cap on one tooth.
Oh and although we were supposedly giving away "FREE SEX ALL WEEKEND" the truth is, we were charging.
And, um...if one of our loser friends is the author of that ad, I will find out and I will post your number in the closest shittiest bar bathroom I can find. Watch me.
We were actually in there watching all four episodes of Arrested Development Friday night...then again on Saturday, then again on Sunday...People claim it is too meta, too mean, and nobody likes it. But we still believe, and we're hoping it gets picked up by Showtime (at least thats what the internet rumor mill told us might happen.)
Ok, so back to the love...

Well, the good news is that the police (hopefully) caught the psycho responsible for raping two women in Willimsburg and one in Greenpoint...the last one while wearing a devil's mask...Did I point out that the guy is a psycho? Yeah, its true.
The bad news is that a man was shot outside a Busta Rhymes video shoot at a production studio down the street (also in Greenpoint) tonight. So much for our happy safe neighborhood.
I meant to post a link yesterday to this story about a guy who found himself living with a thief profiled on America's Most Wanted. It goes well with the mattress-in-wall story from yesterday...These roomates found each other on craigslist, 'natch.
Project Runway continues to be one of my favorites, so here are Tim Gunn's blog and Santino Rice's blog...Santino's got some funny stuff up there.
Long Drew Barrymore interview, for all the Drew lovers out there.
Oh, and Hank sent me a link to the upcoming documentary American Hardcore. Hopefully it will be playing soon, so we can all relive our teenage years.
Grilled cheese sounds good right now.

Sarah has been subletting places around Brooklyn. Two so far, most likely at least one more. She's not sure where she wants to live, whether she wants to buy or rent, etc...so the short term sublet seems the perfect way to figure it out. Well it turns out that Sarah's not the only one looking for short term housing and odd living situations. Every time she finds one she also finds herself in this weird competitive situation with an assortment of freaks vying for the place and the owners full of ridiculous terms and requests. At first I thought it was some fluke and she was just running into some weirdos, then I saw this NY Times article on people who ran an ad on Craigslist trying to rent out a mattress stuffed through a hole in a wall for 35 bucks a month - and they actually got offers. So I guess the moral of the story is New Yorkers are just plum crazy.
History of the old bandshell in Tompkins Sqare Park.
The official home of socks and sandals.

Mispelled tattoos are the funniest thing ever.
Pete Doherty, ex-Libertines guitarist/singer, ex-boyfriend of Kate Moss, current Babyshambles singer, got arrested three times in one day? And the Times deigned to write about it?! I'm not sure which is more amazing.
In more drug news, Natasha Lyonne has been spotted bedraggled yet alive around New York City, 70's child star Leif Garrett was arrested on drug charges last week, and Boy George appeared in court on cocaine charges today, but still proclaims to be innocent. And some assholes were busted for using puppies to smuggle heroin into the US. Seriously. Assholes.
In more sad news, former Poison Idea guitarist, Pig Champion, found dead.
That's all I got.
