brighten the corners pavement ever since i had to give steve back the copy he graciously lent me, i've been craving the band's sound. so imagine my joy when i found it brand new at cd trader for $8.99. songs like "shady lane" make me happy, although bryan said it's about the end of the world. |

almost famous based loosely on cameron crowe's adventures as a high school kid in the '70s writing for rolling stone magazine, this film is touching, inspiring and entertaining--it also stars such hotties (for lack of better word) as billy crudup and jason lee. if you're a boy, kate hudson and fairuza balk are cute, too. |
recently viewed on TV:
girl, you've got mail, men, random hearts, and the real world, of course. ah, cable.

stereotype t-shirt by blacklava i went to college with this guy, ryan, and i must admit, i had no idea he was such a talented and ambitious visionary. his t-shirts are not just cool; they're "clothing for the new state of mind." |
other badass t-shirts:
angry little asian girls, generation rice and exploding dog.

the original pancake house yorba linda i always order the same thing here because it is, in a word, divine. "i'll have the german pancakes, a regular coffee and small orange juice, please." sprinkle the powdered sugar, drip some fresh lemon juice, cut up a slice and let it melt in your mouth. mmm. |
