    Picture of the Day: The Jeevas... They look oh so cute! :)
    POSTED BY MARIKO AT 11:36 PM


    13 Musicians You Wouldn't Mind Sleeping With ... (Taken from Katie's Blog)
    1. Phil Jordan (The Music) - Do I even need to say why?
    2. Thom Yorke & Johnny Greenwood (Radiohead) - Just out of curiousity... maybe he really is not human as people claim...
    3. Chris Martin & Guy Berryman (Coldplay)
    4. Craig Nicholls (The Vines) - Sexy, insane Aussies... Need I say more?
    5. Julian Casablancas (The Strokes)
    6. Andy Nixon (The Jeevas) - Another drummer!
    7. Beck
    8. Paul Hawley (Hot Hot Heat) - And another drummer!
    9. Nick Jago (BRMC) - Yet another drummer!
    10. James Skelly (The Coral)
    11. Peter & Carl (The Libertines) - Both of them, together. Nothing would compare to that...
    12. Ben Kweller
    13. Tim Burgess (The Charlatans)

    Seven Movie Lines You'll Always Remember

    1. Fucking Dante! Poetry writting faggot! - Mills (Seven)

    2. Fear leads to anger. Anger leads to hate. Hate leads to suffering. I sense much fear in you. -Yoda (Star Wars)

    3. You and your fucking rope! (The Boondock Saints)

    4. Donnie: You are such a fuckass!
    Elizabeth: Did you just call me a fuckass? You can go suck a fuck!!
    Donnie: Oh really, and how does one suck a fuck? (Donnie Darko)

    5. First of all, Papa Smurf didn't create Smurfette. Gargamel did. She was sent in as Gargamel's evil spy with the intention of destroying the Smurf village, but the overwhelming goodness of the Smurf way of life transformed her. And as for the whole gang-bang scenario, it just couldn't happen. Smurfs are asexual. They don't even have reproductive organs under those little white pants. That's what's so illogical, you know, about being a Smurf. What's the point of living if you don't have a dick? (Donnie Darko)

    6. You're a little scary sometimes, you know that. Brilliant. But scary. - Ron (Harry Potter and the Philosopher's Stone)

    7. Donnie:Why do you wear that stupid bunny suit?
    Frank: Why do you wear that man suit? (Donnie Darko)

    I am so obsessed with this film, it's ridiculous.

    I love you sweetie!!
    POSTED BY MARIKO AT 11:42 PM


    So, I went and saw Audrey Tautou's (y'know the girl from Amelie) new film "She Loves Me, She Loves Me Not." I really can't tell you a lot about it cos it'll ruin it but it's worth seeing. The script was quite clever I would say... and sort of unexpected. I wonder if it is an actual disorder... Anyways, all I have to say is PILL MAN!! I was sort of amazed that I still do know some French! (who would have thought) I picked up a lot of the stuff w/out looking at the subtitles due to the fact that people's heads were in my way. The curly haired guy was tres cute.

    I also went to the music store @ Ackerman and guess what I found!! Flyer/postcard thingies for The Music!! So, no doubt I took a bunch of them and yes, I will be going back for more. The chick that worked there was like "Have you seen them live? Do you know what they sound like? They have a cool logo and everything." So I went on for a while about how brilliant they were and she seemed pretty convinced. haha. Coincidently, I was wearing The Music shirt as well. AAAHHH. I wanna see them LIVE again and again and again. PLEASE, PLEASE COLDPLAY DO A SHOW IN LA AND BRING THE MUSIC WITH YOU GUYS!!! I miss Philly!!!

    I also made a Coldplay Live in Paris CD. It's brilliant. I love how Chris speaks French. Oh-so-CUTE!!

    Anyways, picture of the day goes to Carl from The Libertines. Lovely, ay?
    Guys, sort out your Visa probs so you can come and play for me in LA. Love you!


    Sad Moment Of the Day: Not winning The Vines shirt that I wanted... It was tres cute w/ a drawing by Craig on it.

    Oh, I forgot to add that ho ho Gwyn Paltrow was spotted @ the Coldplay gig yesterday.
    Apparently, she was at the side of the stage looking really bored...
    I really wouldn't be so bitter if she was actually in love w/ Chris. But a lot of things have been telling me otherwise.
    She shows no respect for our dear Chris. (he isn't your fucking porter for fuck's sake!!) I think that Chris is too naive to realize that she probably just using him to get attention cos she hasn't been doing anything lately except for shooting her Sylvia Plath film. Hopefully he will realize sooner or later like Brad Pitt and Ben Affleck. ( not like they married anyone better but...)

    The Coldplay show @ Hollywood yesterday was awesome.
    There were tons and tons of people there since it was free and KROQ was going on and on about it.
    But seeing my lovely Chris prancing, jumping and running around the stage, I was about to die.
    He looked all slick dressed in black. Guy was wearing a baseball shirt type thingie w/ red sleeves and jeans. They were oh so very HOT. And it was an awesome gig. Although I wanted to hear The Scientist live...

    1.26.2003
    Here's a little survey I did earlier this week.

    The Great Procrastination Survey of 2003

    [1] If you could be instantly fluent in one other language that you currently do not read or speak, which would it be?
    Italian and Irish. Although, Irish isn't really a language but the accent is sexy.

    [2] If you could have the starring role in any film already made, what would it be?
    Ed Norton aka Jack in Fight Club, Nicole Kidman aka Satine in Moulin Rouge, Cameron Diaz aka Lotte in Being John Malkovich, Cameron Diaz aka Celine in A Life Less Ordinary. Oh and Enid aka Thora Birch in Ghost World cos I fancy Steve Buchemi.

    [3] If you could receive one small package this very moment, who would it be from and what would be in it?
    Little Chris Martin and a little piano so he can sing for me anytime.

    [4] If you could own one painting from any collection in the world but were not able to sell it, which work of art would you select?
    Anything by Toulous Lautrec, Andy Warhol.

    [5] If you were instantly able to play one musical instrument perfectly that you never have played before, what would it be?
    Drums so I can be kick ass like Philly Jordan.

    [6] If you could possess one supernatural ability, what would it be?
    Er... like Spiderman? No... I wanna be an elf like Liv Tyler in LOTR. Although, I don't exactly know what elves can do.

    [7] If you had to choose the most valuable thing you ever learned what would it be?
    To be realistic, learning how to use Final Cut Pro @ NYU and the fun times I had there.

    [8] If you could have only one piece of furniture in your house, what would it be?
    A MEGA (CM lingo) comfy sofa cos you can basically do anything if you have one.

    [9] If you could read the private diary of someone you know personally, whose diary would it be?
    No one's really. I'm not interested in what other people think.

    [10] If you could have one person you know as your slave (well-paid and cared for) domestic laborer for one month, who would it be?
    Julian Casablancas. Although, he probably would not be able to do anything except sing, drink, stumble abouts and be sexy.

    [11] If you could choose the way you will die, how would you want it to happen?
    The usual peaceful death but that's boring so in a huge, bloody fight or getting abducted by aliens.

    [12] If you could wake up tomorrow to learn that the major newspaper headlines were about you, what would you want them to say?
    Strokes Member Julian Casablancas Secretly Marries His Girlfriend in an Irish Castle!

    [13] If you won the lottery, what is the first thing you would do?
    Scream and have a HUGE shopping spree with my mom and dad and pay for tuition.

    [14] If you could choose the music at your funeral, what would it be, and who would play it?
    "At Your Funeral" - Saves the Day. "Rain Dance" - The Music.

    [15] If you could take away the vocal cords of any person, who would it be?
    Take away meaning cos it's annoying? Britney, Christina, Mariah... all of them whiney hos.

    [16] If you had to describe your idea of the perfect mate, how would you do it?
    Mate like friend or boyfriend? Well, for a mate basically anyone who has a good sense of humor, dresses cool and has something in common with me. For a boyfriend, has some thing they are passionate and good at (art, music, footie, etc) that I can be proud of, good sense of humor, adorable smile and someone who can be weird like me, preferably with green eyes and floppy hair.

    [17] If you had to have a personal friend redecorate your house, who would you pick to do it?
    Josh cos he's the guy version of me so he'll know what I like.

    [18] If you had to choose the worst home you've ever lived in, which one was it?
    Here... cos I live in "the tree house" in LA.

    [19] If you could have prevented one thing from happening between you and a friend, what would it have been?
    Josh not moving away from me but he'll be coming back!! Wahey.

    [20] If you could learn the total number of hours you have spent in your life doing one thing, what would it be?
    Learning useless crap in high school that I would never ever use when I'm older.

    [21] If you had to describe yourself as a child in one word, what would it be?
    Brat.

    [22] If you could own a single prop from any film ever made what would you choose?
    The toliet from Trainspotting or the Donnie Darko rabbit suit.

    Planning to Listen to: Coldplay/A Rush Of Blood To The Head (to calm me down and make me happy)

    I get to see Chris Martin in about 5 hours. I wonder what song they'll play.
    In My Place? Clocks? or The Scientist?
