wow. i'm seriously impressed. last night a friend of mine finally got to hang out with Chan Marshall :) a friend of hers befriended Chan last year and they were supposed to go see her play at some point but i guess fell through. but last night they went and hung out with her :) how cool is that? and it doesn't look like it'll be a one-time thing either :)

i'm impressed.

okay. changing the subject -- quick q&a:

any thoughts on the Franz Ferdinand record?
i didn't feel like jumping on the bandwagon (three months ago) because the first time i heard the first single i didn't really like it. but tonight i saw the video and listened to it and it was good.

also, any thoughts on the Muse record?
never heard a single from it (and i know it's like 6 years-old by now) but tonight i saw the video and it rocked my socks off. at first i thought it was the new Ash single, i was even sure the singer was Tim, until the credits popped up and it was Muse.

huge thanks.

well, there you go. another great episode of The Restaurant, which is fast becoming my favorite reality show of the season. the producers are somehow pushing for some big showdown in the next episode, an ultimatum, as Rocco put it. hmm. anyone have a feeling this might not go as well as we would hope for Rocco? (actually not for him, but for the restaurant, which wouldn't be Rocco's if Rocco wasn't there anymore. as would the show, btw.) i saw him on a talk show a few days ago. didn't watch the whole thing but i did catch him talking about his other restaurant, the one they "just renovated". the Pacific, or something like that. weird that he would be talking about it and bringing pictures of the new interior to talk shows (alright, i must admit those 10 seconds were the only time i saw him talk). i'm guessing the shows shot either back in november, or just a couple of months ago (there's no snow on the New York sidewalks). but, if Rocco had lost that restaurant, i think we'd heard about it by now. weird.

btw, did they tap the staff's cell phones? we hear Rocco's conversations clearly. and in the one between Drew and Jeffrey, you can definitely hear Jeffrey 100%. and Jeff sounded like a tone-deaf reading off a card. did they re-record what he said? unless they recorded his home phones. that could be it. but his delivery was so uptight. it was weird.
