What a World...

The day is winding to a close--well, the work day, at least. It's been an annoying week of bullshit and weird wannabe publicists--don't ask.

I did a great interview this afternoon with a fantastic musician whose band will be featured in the music section this weekend. From one of her photos, I thought she looked like Megan Fox a bit, but I think it's just this pesky discount LASIK once again. Boooooo!

Also, to pay homage to the X Games, we've got a special double-edition of The List coming up. NOT to be missed.

But you'll never know what's up unless you pop in and check it out. I've gotta get home and relax a bit.

Ew, What's that Smell?!?!?

Why is somebody in this office eating something that smells like a dirty baby diaper? Jesus H . Christ...

Anyway, the latest issue of Allegory Weekly is live. It was a long weekend. Went out of town. Slept in a nice Comfort Inn. Waited in lots of lines. Took MANY cat-naps. Had an agoraphobic bitch-fest. Sigh...I love Comic-Con.

But I digress...

The issue is up and it rocks. I know I say that each week, but this week is really cool. I love the List. It's one of my all-time favorites because it's soooooo random and funny.

The Allegory Story is on Ellen Clifford--a cool actress with a bright future ahead of her.

Check out the music feature on Bird Names. This one really kicks butt. I'm in love with this band. If you like lo-fi noise pop, you'll love this group. AND they're really funny dudes, too.

Art & Style is also spectacular. We profile this genius interior designer named Hilary White. The pics are outstanding. I think she's spectacular.

As for the Honey blog, don't worry--it's coming back. The password will be Raw Honey. We're going to be showcasing the dirty blog for a while, so if you're a horny perv, consider it an early Xmas gift.

What Am I Doing Up at This Ungodly Hour?

I have to be at work in 5 hours. I'm watching Wet Hot American Summer.

Is that the name of it? It's the thing with all the people from "The State" and The Baxter.

Drag. Bummer. Cluster-fuck

I'm listening to "Things Ain't Like They Used to Be" by the Black Keys. Getting ready to leave work for the day. I love this song.

I have love life confusion, y'all. Doing tarot card readings only serves to confuse me. I think I just need to stop listening to bummer jams such as this one. This is how all my self-loathing and bullshit starts, people. With slow-tempo indie rock.

I'm gonna have mcnuggets for dinner and unleash my frustrations on the stairmaster.

Bon Weekend. New Allegory will be up this weekend.

What You Will Be Doing This Weekend

See this dude to the left? That's DJ Stephen R.

He's a cool bloke. He talks really fast. He gets super excited about stuff. He's a libra and he enjoys cheap wine from Trader Joe's.

Stevie Wonder (as I call him) will be throwing down on some wheels of steel Saturday (July 25) when his company, Architects and Heroes hosts its first big L.A. shindig at:

The Silver Echo Gallery

2165 Clifford Street (at Alvarado) in Los Angeles. The thingy starts at 8pm and goes til whenever. I will be at Comic-Con, however. So...

I've Seen Your Movie, and it's GOOOOOOOOOOOD

Kudos to my negro, Drew Barrymore, for having directed a fine first feature film. I screened Whip It last night with another writer friend of mine. Wow!

I hated the opening title sequence. I mean, don't get it twisted--I love the fact that she dropped Kings of Leon's "Knocked Up" in there. But the titles were a little too Hal Hartley for me. However, the rest of the film was outstanding. It was funny and touching and so effing cool! OMG! Good for her. I was super impressed.

I'm thinking about getting away for another weekend vaycay. I have a lot of annoying things (and by things I usually mean "people") I'm dealing with lately. I'd love to have a laser gun that melts people's faces off at will. Hmm... somebody should mock that up along with the widget I requested a little while back. I still expect my cut, though. These ideas aren't for free, folks.

Listening to the Specials right now. "Do Nothing." I dig this song. Some of their stuff annoys me, but this is a good song--in the "woe is me; life is putrid, let me have an emo freak-out" sort of way.

Hmm...what else? Oh yeah! Comic-Con is going down in the S.D. this weekend. Hope you got your tix for that shit. Love that event. Check out the List. It's the 10 best and worst things about Comic-Con. There's some pretty funny stuff there.

Allegory Weekly loves you like no other...

Oh, How the Mighty Have Fallen

Went to Spaceland last night with my friend, Marya. 'Twas dismal. Mind you, the last time I was there was during the whole Castledoor month of beauty. Man, that band draws a good crowd. This apparently is not so with some other local talent...

That burg was, like, a ghost town or something. Holy shizz. There were three people up in that piece. Que Carajo!

Kinda made for a sad evening, you know.

Listening to Otis Redding right now. Good stuff. He was so awesome and country and soulful. I love his little low fro.

There should be a widget that takes your emails and automatically applies them to your Twitter page. Can somebody come up with that? I'm too busy to do it myself. Just cut me in on the deal 5% and I'll be a happy beyotch.

Seacrest, out!
