Frank Rich on the year we realize how creepy we have become: As of Friday morning, "Britney Spears Nude on Beach" had been viewed 1,041,776 times by YouTube's visitors. The count for YouTube video clips tagged with "Iraq" was 22,783. Not that there is anything wrong with that. But compulsive blogging and free soft-core porn are not, as Time would have it, indications of how much you, I and that

Even though I can't listen to the original version anymore, my favorite song this year has to be 'Crazy' by Gnarls Barkley. Nelly Furtado's cover is beautiful and so is the one by The Kooks. I guess I've been feeling unplugged lately."Does that make me crazy? Possibly!"

From yesterday's New York Times:"You might naïvely imagine that you are one person, the same entity from day to day. To the 18th-century philosopher David Hume, however, the idea of a permanent “I” was a fiction. Our mind, Hume wrote, “is nothing but a bundle or collection of different perceptions, which succeed each other with an inconceivable rapidity, and are in a perpetual flux and movement.”

"Brazil isn’t thrilled with the Turistas trailer, which flashes the lines, “In a country where anything goes … anything can happen.” Says Miguel Jeronimo of New York’s Brazilian tourism office, “It’s not whatever goes in our country!” This isn’t the first time Brazil has taken issue with its portrayal. In 2002, a Simpsons episode showed Brazil as filled with bisexual men and mad monkeys. After a

Not much left to say about the Kramer affair except that I read this and thought it made a very interesting point. I have, on occasion, referred to fags that annoyed me as fag in a derogatory ton of voice - am I homophobic?

It was a very long weekend: no more Cuervo Gimlets - from now on, Patrón Silver only.Experts say that the type of alcohol you drink does make a difference, but for various reasons. Among the most important is the amount of congeners (pronounced CON-juh-nurz) — complex organic molecules — in a particular drink. Impurities in poorly refined spirits like cheap vodka can also play a role, but

I don't think I have ever had so much fun on Halloween. The scary thing about the guys above - hanging out at Ty's and on Christopher Street last night - is that at some point they removed their masks and we didn't even realize it.Even tough people can get very creative, the simplicity of my friend's costume, The Flasher, made him the star of the night. Specially after he made his costume even

Andrew Sullivan asked his readers to submit what they though was the best and the worst music videos of the 80's.I have just realized that distinction doesn't really matter - sometimes the best of the 80's was also the worst of the 80's, no? Case in point is this video, which he calls "Best Worst '80s Video Nominee". You decide.Have I mentioned I met Freddie Mercury in 1985 at a gay dance club in

Some things that make me happy are made of chocolate & marshmallow. Others are just deliciously plain. Saw Hell House this weekend. The 'play' was written by evangelicals to be performed every halloween to warn adolescents of the easy way to hell (apparently reading 'The Onion' and watching Jon Stewart, among many things). As the Times observed, "because the interest of “Hell House” is more

Via WikiHow1. Find five completely random blogs, and read them daily for a month. After thirty days, you will absolutely dread your self-imposed requirement to read all that dreck. Any blog you create will most likely be on par with what you've been reading. Don't put anyone through that. Consider that your voice, even if it is truly a good one, is a tiny peep against the massive wave of tripe

It was overcast and we were in Fire Island for the weekend. The house was empty, no drama, no throbing music. We talked and watched movies and cooked and walked on the beach and drank and went out dancing.We hang out with friends.Friends' support is primordial for a relationship to thrive. And I'm just lucky to have very good friends around me.

Anyone interested? Miami Vice: "This was not a job that anyone needed to do, but then again no one could have done it better." (than Michael Mann, the director) "In “Scoop,” his not especially funny yet oddly appealing new comedy, Woody Allen manages to act his age." "The family that pops Prozac together stays together, perhaps, but the family that piles into an old Volkswagen bus the color of a

The airline used to be a source of pride for the country - it was routinely voted one of the best in the world: great food, free drinks, free necessaires. No wonder it's bankrupt.On the other hand, what's all this
