I feel kind of bad reading this article, because for some reason it just feels invasive to read excerpts from the CSU student's (the one who died in the frat house) web journal (or whatever it was). However, it's a lesson to us all about being careful about what you put online. You just might say something ironic. And sad.

(When Rachel got married in January, I think I purposefully did not mention it right before the big day. I had this horrible feeling that something would go wrong if I documented exactly where I was headed that day. I'm a little superstitious, I guess.)

This list of the most hated men in rock is certainly controversial, but it reminded me how much I adore Ryan Adams in spite of everything. In a little googling, he went way down in my esteem and then right back up.
The down: I always loved this quote from him: "Gold is meant as an open letter for me and this one other person in the entire world, who shall go unnamed; the record's for her, not that she cares." It's so deliciously cry-me-a-river. HOWEVER, he went down in my esteem when I read that he was possibly talking about Winona Ryder. Ew.
Right back up: He's dating Parker Posey, my favorite actress.


....wait- his real name is David Adams, but he goes by Ryan Adams and still whines like a baby because people confuse him with Bryan? LAME. He goes down a notch again.

FYI - Twinkies can be part of a "swanky" wedding cake. Maybe Erin will take notice of this... The preservatives freak me out, but it's bad luck not eat cake at a wedding, so bring on the sugary goodness.
