         <title>New Crush: The Girl From The Ting Tings.</title>

Katie White of <a href="http://www.youtube.com/watch?v=hPNIYuDZZpU" target="_new">The Ting Tings</a> is the closest thing I've seen to a Post-Millennial Debbie Harry so far. Maybe not Top-5-Laminated-Wallet-Card crushing, but still crushing pretty hard.

         <title>This Doll Gives Me The Freaking Heebie-Jeebies.</title>
         <description><![CDATA[I found this <a href="http://cgi.ebay.com/Antique-Italian-Creche-Figure-Doll-Virgin-Mary-Angel_W0QQitemZ130244966831QQihZ003QQcategoryZ84622QQssPageNameZWDVWQQrdZ1QQcmdZViewItem"  target="_new">doll on eBay</a>, and it scared the crap out of me.

Sold as a "Antique Italian Creche Figure Doll (Virgin Mary? Angel?)," it got the seller four bills. It gave me the creeps (in a beautiful way?).

         <title>Did Someone Say &quot;Roman Empire?&quot;</title>
         <description><![CDATA[So, I vomited all over myself when I saw this:

<center>
<a href="http://www.l-o-2.com/blog/2008-02/bling-h2o.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.l-o-2.com/blog/2008-02/bling-h2o.html','popup','width=230,height=230,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://www.l-o-2.com/blog/2008-02/bling-h2o-thumb.jpg" width="230" height="230" class="photo" /></a>
</center>

<a href="http://www.blingh2o.com/" target="_new">Bling H20</a> is a <em>$56 dollar</em> Swarovski studded bottle of water. Paris Hilton was seen using it for her doggie's water dish. The website has a bottle resting on a bare ass. Mmm, <em>classy</em>.

I figured that was it. I honestly thought to myself, <em>Wow. This is as ludicrous as you can get, hands down.</em>

Then I saw this, and vomiting resumed:

<center>
<a href="http://www.l-o-2.com/blog/2008-02/25_1_l.html" onclick="window.open('http://www.l-o-2.com/blog/2008-02/25_1_l.html','popup','width=320,height=365,scrollbars=no,resizable=no,toolbar=no,directories=no,location=no,menubar=no,status=no,left=0,top=0'); return false"><img src="http://www.l-o-2.com/blog/2008-02/25_1_l-thumb.jpg" width="201" height="230" class="photo" /></a>
</center>

This is <a href="http://www.vieluce.com/fillico/index.html" target="new">Fillico</a>, the luxe water for those who think Bling H20 isn't classy enough. $100 per bottle, <em>double</em> if you want the fancy cap. Special "Gift" versions priced upon request.

Fuck.

<em>The Kingdom</em> is a great movie, hands down, but the opening credits are now my favorite sequence of all time, surpassing <a href="http://youtube.com/watch?v=SEZK7mJoPLY" target="_new">Se7en</a>, the old king of the hill. Check it out.]]></description>

I'm on page 71 of Chuck Klosterman's <em><a href="http://www.amazon.com/gp/redirect.html?ie=UTF8&location=http%3A%2F%2Fwww.amazon.com%2FKilling-Yourself-Live-True-Story%2Fdp%2F0743264460&tag=lo2-20&linkCode=ur2&camp=1789&creative=9325 target="_new"">Killing Yourself To Live</a></em>, and it's already one of my favorite books of all time. I wish I could write like this.

Devonte Hynes (the guy in the video) was a member of the really really short lived band Test Icicles, which broke up because they didn't like the music they made to get signed to a label. It does not sound like this. This is awesome.

And here's the inspiration for the video, the classic R.E.M. guest appearance on Sesame Street:
