hey record companies! i own an even 100 albums of new material that have been released since the start of the year 2000. of those, only 9 are homemade cds, burned either from downloaded material or discs borrowed from friends. i would think that demonstates that at least i, personally, am not directly contributing to your downfall through my rampant downloading of songs. i mean, how many more cds to you want me to buy? do i have to pick up EVERYONE's slack?

for the record, the bootleg cds are:
•coldplay, parachutes (borrowed from my sister)
•eminem, the eminem show (dale burned me a copy)
•norah jones, come away with me (christy burned me a copy)
•stevie nicks, trouble in shangri-la (downloaded at excruciatingly slow dial-up speed back in chicago)
•nsync, celebrity (downloaded, with varying degrees of quality, and apparently a couple of european bonus tracks)
•beth orton, daybreaker (borrowed from jessie)
•tenacious d (segev bought it for his sister for her birthday and then burned himself a copy. he's such a prince)
•weezer, maladroit (downloaded)
•wilco, yankee hotel foxtrot (downloaded)

i am actually considering buying real copies of both the beth orton and wilco cds, even though i already have them burned, just to have better quality and to give a vote of confidence to musicians that i think get shafted by the majors. the rest of them, i probably wouldn't have bought, ever. well, maybe the coldplay.

Here are some outifts from the Golden Globes, and my comments on 'em:

-Kate Hudson. I thought this was really cool -- in keeping with her total hippy-dippyness but simultaneously figure-flattering and interesting and unlike what everyone else was doing (ie the deconstructed look that was rampant and not done very well for the most part).

-Cameron Diaz. Part of me likes this dress in principal, but I think it was inappropriate for the occasion and she didn't look comfortable in it. Plus her makeup sucked.

-Renee Zellweger. Didn't everyone learn the lesson from Calista a couple years back about emaciated people in angular clothing? The fabric, the cut, and the length are all unflattering. And her feel show off her weightloss more than probably any other part of her body, so why she would choose a dress and shoes to accentuate their ugliness is beyond me. *sigh* I'm very conflicted on the Renee.

-Halle Berry. I swear this is the skinny version of the dress Oprah wore to the Emmys. Sure, it's pretty enough, cuz it's on Halle, but she's not even really trying.

-Catherine Zeta Jones. Deconstructed dress on pregnant body with hella-formal hair and makeup is just one big miss for me. Sorry.

-Salma Hayek. What? Did you say something? I was too busy wiping the drool off my cleavage. Mmmm. Cleavage. Dear God, she's fantastic looking.

-Angie Harmon. See, here's another one not quite getting the deconstructed thing down. There's tiers, and pearls, and something resembling a training bra, with soccer-mom's-night-out hair and makeup. Whatever.

-Goldie Hawn. Aw, fuck. Could someone get Kate to dress her mother. For fuck's sake, woman, that neckline will be haunting me. And you're about to hit one eye job too many.

-Marg Helgenberger. This is a color that doesn't work on many people. I think pretty much just Marg and Nicole Kidman can pull it off. It's a lovely cut on her, too, and her makeup and hair is nice.

-Jennifer Connelly. Woo hoo! Jen's hot again! Woo hoo! The dress is kinda boring, but I don't care because she's hot again! Yaaaaaay! And look, she got Drop Dead Fred to marry her! (sorry, Paul Bettany just looks like Rik Mayall to me, I can't separate them in my brain.)

-Nicole Kidman. This woman knows how to fucking wear couture. She looks amazing. And I always like her hair pulled back, it shows off her skin.

-Courteney Cox. Possibly the best I've ever seen her look. Guess she finally took to heart that advice about not being able to get pregnant until she gained some weight. Or maybe she already is pregnant. Whatever. Point being, nice curvy dress on a new curvy body, great hair and makeup. go, Courteney!

-Uma Thurman. Her dress looks cute in this shot, but the fabric on the bottom tiers is very sheer so from other angles, it looks like the top part is one of those boy-bathing suits from the '20s. It's weird. Her hair looks better than I've seen it of late, though.

-Faye Dunaway. Her face continues to scare little children, but she really does look lovely and glamorous in this outfit.

-Susan Sarandon. Just stunning. So lovely. The color is amazing on her.

-Jennifer Garner. You know I hate to say it, but just not the best i've ever seen her look. Her boob was falling out all night, and her hair was schoolmarmish. And I didn't like the curtainy drapey fishtail at the bottom of her dress with the very modern, almost pop-arty cut of the top. But I still wish I could smooch on her.

-Heather Graham. Who keeps INVITING her to these things? what IS that? is that a floppy bow? Didn't Sela Ward teach us the floppy bow lesson? And how long is that one string gonna hold before those casabas come pouring out?

-Elisha Cuthbert. BWA HA HA HA HA! See, I think this outfit is way funnier than Lara Flynn Boyle's. Lara knew everyone was gonna rag on her about being skinny no matter what she wore, so she basically told them to go fuck themselves and came in costume. But Elisha Cuthbert is dressed up like JEM, for fuck's sake! There are actually little lacy bicycle shorts under that skirt! BWA!

-Anne Hathaway. Wow, she came out of nowhere to be one of the night's best dressed.

-Allison Janney. Dag, for a character actress, she can sure wear the fuck out of an outfit. She looks absolutely faboo.
