rw:bk recap

There was a prank war and the girls decided to fuck with the boys' food and there was much spitting and sputtering out of milk and cereal and suspicious chicken. (My new detective-themed restaurant idea: Dr. Mystery's Suspicion Chicken. Investors?) Naturally, the boys had to freak out and blow things wayyyy out of proportion until JD had another crazy blowdown and got all ups in Sara's face, yelling at her like she hadn't jumped through the hoop or waved her sad little flipper at the money-paying Seaquarium guests well enough. So it suddenly became embarrassing. As Ryan raged and said hateful things and JD stormed around with a shotgun, picking off anyone he could find. (gawker recap)

renderings of the new outdoor venue planned for coney island:

Coney Center, a $47 million amphitheater designed by Grimshaw.

The project will replace a 1980s bandshell located in Asser Levy Park with a new 8,000-seat entertainment complex meant to attract marquee acts. Capping it all is a swooping, 60,000-square-foot roof in the shape of a hyperbolic paraboloid—picture a massive Pringles potato chip, but made of steel and translucent fiberglass, supercharged by hundreds of strobing stage lights.

just in case you were wondering why we won't shut up about beyonce lately, i wanted to fill you in with some pop culture context. beyonce just kicked off her "I Am..." tour, and boy, it looks flat-out amazing. here are some photos from the road:

we'll be seeing you at MSG, b!

puppi namez

this is lulu.

she belongs to nanners + joe. they're thinking about getting lulu a puppy of her very own. it will most likely be a yella lab.

nanners recently approached 2Pz about helping them pick a name for their potential new pet, so comment away with your suggestions!

phoenix playing SNL



2Pz's new fave band, phoenix, is scheduled to perform on SNL this week, which will be hosted by seth rogen. set your tivos!

doubt

we didn't do so well this week on the approval matrix test. only 3 hits (shown in red). however, upon further inspection, we discovered that there were literally millions of things on the matrix that we had noticed, considered blogging, and for some reason didn't (shown in yellow). but rest assured, we've learned our lesson. there will be no more doubt from 2Pz. we will blog at will when something peaks our interest, and trust that it will peak yours as well. (nymag)

why?

why is www.netflix.com the hardest URL in the world to type correctly? i mess it up almost every single time.

topshop's open

racked is blogging live from topshop on opening day. sounds like a hot mess.

omg. ctm.

The proposal was going to be memorable, made on one knee on the pedestrian walkway above the Brooklyn Bridge, with all of New York spread out before Don Walling and his fiancee-to-be, Gina Pellicani. And then the ring flew out of the box and fell to the roadway below. (msnbc)

beirut show

video from beirut's show at music hall of williamsburg a few weeks ago. you can click through the tracks, so that's nice.

what is kismet doing?

answer: watching hoda and kathie lee with me.

i've made a huge mistake.


will arnett interviewed with nymag recently. it's pretty cute:

You and Amy recently moved to L.A. (where Poehler’s NBC show, Parks and Recreation, is shot). Are you enjoying life there, the endless Hollywood events? Look, try and keep us off the red carpet. We go red carpet hunting! There is a bit of a worry about raising a child in L.A., especially when both the parents are show folk. I don’t know, is it a real universe? I’d love for Archie to grow up back in New York.

You got kicked out of boarding school, right?
We prefer the term “Asked not to return.”

You moved to New York in 1990 to study dramatic acting at the Lee Strasberg Institute. Will we see more serious work in the future?
I think the world deserves it, don’t you? [Laughs.] You know, I wish I had a better plan, because I currently have none. I have a lot of balls in the air and I’m hoping some of those balls land. My goal is to land balls.

the king of planets.

Everything about Jupiter is super-sized, including its colorful, turbulent atmosphere. But there's fresh evidence that one of the planet's most recognizable features, the Great Red Spot, is shrinking. The spot, which is actually an ancient monster storm that measures about three Earths across, lost 15 percent of its diameter between 1996 and 2006, scientists at the University of California, Berkeley, have found. (cnn)

hey! what's your favorite planet?

be forewarned


apparently the university of memphis has offered bruce pearl of the university of tennessee a seven year $21,000,000 contract to coach basketball... watch it tigers.

mios dios.

TRW:B the end!

so i'm watching TRW:B...right now. i haven't been excited about TRW since i was in high school, but this season happends to be in my front yard, so it's special. since it's the last episode, i'd like to make a few observations.

chet is stoopid for thinking a spoonful of soap-milk would hurt him. and even if it did, it would be a part of the mormon god's plan for him, and he shouldn't worry about it.

the boys are a bunch of whiney b's who can't take a dose of their own prank-medicine.

when these kids aren't being painfully boring and agreeable, they're being crazy beligerent.

as someone who suffers from myopia, i find it offensive that chet wears glasses purely for fashion.

as a homosexual, i find it offensive that chet claims he's attracted to women while wearing a lavender sleeveless hoodie and a scarf.

baya, get that mf-ing tooth gap fixed.

perhaps it's stereotypical, but i would have expected a gay dolphin trainder to be less violent.

for those who don't live in brooklyn: the water taxi that ryan left on is within sight of the real world house. there was no reason for chet to drive ryan there other than their down-low gaylationship.

one of the last things said by ryan about chet: "i wish chet would move to wherever i am so we can just kick it." yeah, if by "kick" you mean f, and "it" you mean your a.
