And watch dissolve in the heat of your charm.

Hey oh! Jiscilla has posted pictures of the fun times we had at Trainwreck last Tuesday! And thus, I post them here.

Erica & Suarez - talking about DJ'ing or staring contest?

Jesse and Gaby - heard some shocking news?

I'm demonstrating all the caverns of my face to Perry.

Convincing Tyler to drink a Brooklyn.

Those are Gaby's own hands, I promise!

Jiscilly, photographer extraordinaire. I hide.

Enough pictures, I say!

In other news, I just want to remind everybody that Jesse's vinyl sale on eBay is still going on - his first batch of records ends this weekend. Then he'll put up the next batch (it's alphabetical)!

Stay tuned for my Oscar predictions later today or tomorrow. It's probably going to be long. And yes, it will include some choice words on The Reader and how it should never have been nominated for Best Picture in the first place.

For now - I hope everyone is having a fabulous Thursday!

But you never make me scream.

Okay, okay, okay my neglected patrons - I promise to be back later with a full recap of my weekend. It's been swirling about in my head, I just haven't had the time to type it all out! Just know that I had a great one, and I have some choice words to share about that number one movie in America.

MOVING ON! Tonight I'm going to see LILY ALLEN at Bowery Ballroom! Jesse was fortunate enough to get us on the guestlist, though it's free - I wouldn't want to miss out if it reaches capacity. Good thing Motion City played one of those MySpace shows a couple of years ago!

I know I haven't done the Monday Music thing in a while; it's mainly because I've been doing way more reading than listening during the day (hello, Anna Karenina) and also I think I got a little burnt out on music at the end of last year. Oh, and nothing's exactly grabbed by attention this year. Except for Lily's new album It's Not Me, It's You - which, while not as ska-happy and blistering as her debut, is definitely funny and cheeky like Lily. I dig it. And I haven't seen her live before, so I'm rightfully excited!

AND, if you're wondering what I'm doing afterwards, I'm sure you've already figured out that I'll be heading to Trainwreck to see my fave DJ team start the dance party! It's the wonderful Allison's birthday! Allison is Erica's cubemate and I usually see her on Friday afternoons when I visit their cube downtown with Wendy's in hand. She's what we like to call around these parts "good people." And to document the birthday party? Jiscilla's in town!

I'm sure you have an idea about how stoked I am. Who's coming with me?!
