THE FANTASTIC MR. ALBARN
September 30, 2009 – 7:14 am
It’s the last day of September, and to celebrate, Damon Albarn is going to read you an excerpt from Roald Dahl’s Fantastic Mr. Fox. You’re welcome!
It's like I'm 20 all over again. (Blush!)

Got That Not-So-Fresh “I Have No Marketable Skills” Feeling Again? Make Yourself Useful by Trimming the WallStreet-ese From ZeroHedge.com.

WHATEVER HAPPENED TO… Nik Kershaw, for starters.
September 3, 2009 – 9:31 am
This morning I woke up with a doozy of a song in my head… Nik Kershaw’s “Wouldn’t It Be Good,” which I swear I’ve bought 16 times on iTunes because it’s on the Pretty in Pink soundtrack. But OBVIOUSLY, when I fumbled for my phone and looked for it through song title… nope… then artist… no luck… then playlists… nope…. I had to concede that it wasn’t in my current rotation. Fair enough. But when I finally got my ass up and looked in my music library… wait for it… it wasn’t on any of my hard drives, either! AAAGH, GASP, CUE FEELING OF WORTHLESSNESS.
So I sucked it up and bought the song again. Obvs it’s ridiculously, absurdly good, as it’s always been. (I’m on an Amtrak now, listening to it on repeat.)
However, I have a new concern: WTF EVER HAPPENED TO NIK KERSHAW? Did he finally suck it up and reunite with the Psychedelic Furs?
(Not that he was ever with the Furs, but IMO he should have been.)
Hotness. Also: Where Is This Man and His Hair These Days?
(Secondary question… is he still nearly as hot?)
Here’s what I could find:
Click to see the full story on Nik. (Wait, who edits these Wiki-bios anyway?)
And for your continued audio-visual pleasure, here’s the video for his second-biggest hit.

New Media, New Carpe and the Same Old Arianna.
August 30, 2009 – 4:27 am
Everything is in transition right now in the world of emilywsussman-branded blogs — which at this point includes Honestly (what you’re looking at now) and Carpe Media.
The plan is to put everything New Media and design-related on the Carpe Media blog and leave all the fashion and glamour for this one. Sounds easy, but it’s freakishly time-consuming, since I’m trying to learn and incorporate custom CSS. (And, not incidentally, because New Media and glamour often intersect in the darndest ways, forcing me to don my reference librarian hat and engage in the delicate art of cross-referencing.)
Greek Goddess-ish.
In the meantime, here’s a doozy of a profile about Arianna Huffington, written by the always-in-fine-form Lauren Collins for the New Yorker last fall.
Enjoy, but remember… Arianna owns you. Heh!

August 4, 2009 – 2:14 pm
So I was Gmailing with GTS today and we started chatting (writing?) about what we’d been reading lately.
Here… have a look.
And it occurred to me that…
.
…sometimes it’s much easier to communicate in pictures.
Especially when they’re extra-special (i.e., linked-to-the-InterWeb) pictures.
bye for now.
