A Letter from Netflix

August 26

A Letter from NetFlix
I just got this weird letter from NetFlix:
Dear Aziz,
We just want to say - THANK YOU SO FUCKING MUCH! You are a lazy, lazy, lazy motherfucker and lazy fucks like you are what make us the real dough! Hear me out.
We just did some math. Since joining in September of ‘05, you’ve spent $665.29 in membership fees. And to date, you’ve watched and received…. TEN MOVIES!! AHAHAHAHAHAHAH! That’s $66.53/MOVIE!!! HAHAHAHAH!
We were a little worried when you first joined. You got 9 movies those first two months and watched them and returned them right away. “Twin Peaks,” “The Staircase,” Chinatown - you were ripping through them. It seemed like you were a diligent Netflix-er that would hurt our profits.
But THEN - you just stopped! You’ve only rented ONE FUCKING MOVIE SINCE THEN!!!
And instead of going online and cancelling your membership, you just kept paying us about $20 a month to keep a copy of A Streetcar Named Desire, Casablanca, and Who’s Afraid of Virginia Woolf? at your house FOR ALMOST THREE YEARS!
We can’t thank you enough for this Aziz and we hope you continue to pay us $20 a month for DOING ABSOLUTELY NOTHING!
Best wishes,
The Netflix Team

Top Chef Update

"The Quick Fire challenge was to make a little amuse bouche of breakfast, and Rocco stressed that he liked bacon. If you could also maybe infuse that bacon with sweet, sweet Restylane, he'd be your best friend forever."

Biz Markie- Just a Friend


This song will forever remind me of last years ice storm, sitting in the car with Tammy, cause it was warm & we had music & we really had nothing else to keep our minds occupied. Wow, never thought I'd have a positive memory about a storm that kept me kinda sorta homeless for a week. Thank goodness I have the coolest best friends in the world!

Top 39 Annoying Things That Bands Do

Full list here: Creepy Crawl
Highlights here:
Idolator
Example:
34. Pathetic reasons why bands cancel. Bands that cancel 10 DAYS ahead of time because they have to go to a funeral! We feel so sad for these bands. Geez, I didn't know your grandpa was being stored on ice for 10 FUCKING DAYS! Who is he, Walt Disney??? If your going to friggin lie, try and come up with something half-way believable please.

The Walkmen



I am so completely overtaken with this album right now that the word "obsession" doesn't even begin to describe it. Doesn't seem to happen too often anymore that I can enjoy listening to an entire album over and over. It is currently happening, at home, at work and in the car. Could be the sountrack of the season for me!



Thanks Matt!

Yes, please...
