Goody Amilynne

Amilynne had me change the picture on her profile, but for the sake of history, here is her bonnet picture. Which I love. Colonial Williamsburg all the way, baby!

One More Aster Image

Ok, so it's a snowflake with an overbite, but tell me this drawing isn't crazy fun.

Dumb Names

So last week I downloaded the latest album by Coldplay (X&Y). It's quite good--the whole thing is listenable, there are a couple of songs that might be brilliant, it follows a style without being monotonous. All good things.

The problem is this: not that I truly care, but I just can't get out of my mind that whoever is the frontman for the band married Gwyneth Paltrow, and consented to have a child named Apple. Now. I honestly don't care! I couldn't pick this guy out of a lineup of celebrities, I probably couldn't pick out a Coldplay song I hadn't heard out of a lineup of songs. It's just not one of the celebrity things I care about. And yet there it is. A child is running around with the name Apple, a child who could easily become famous someday, and this guy with all his heartfelt lyrics for us to listen to and relate to didn't stop that from happening.

And I can't get this useless fact to separate itself from this otherwise nice CD.

Truly there are worse names. Chastity comes to mind. Or some of the truly insane ones I see on the rosters at school (but I won't go into that on this forum).

I bet if we asked real nice, Amilynne would tell us the name of Zia (Dandy Warhols) 's baby. There's the one we should care about.

Hurt

Amilynne called me last night specifically to brag that she gets to go see Franz Ferdinand next month. I guess if I wanted to see a rapper I could do so in this town. I am vastly jealous of her. What's a vastly jealous girl to do?
