This is so awesome. I wish Thurston Moore would give me advice about my Boy Troubles. The answer to the last one is spot on, actually (a different question than I would be asking, however)--

--Blamed in Stratford, CT

T: Next time someone blames you for something, look 'em straight in the face I and ask, "How may I correct this situation?" This will startle and dumbfound them. Then go up and kiss them lightly on the cheek and whisper, "No matter what happens, I will always love you." As you back away, grab your head and scream bloody murder and run like the wind.

Yes, yes!

Lung Leg, following advice

Listening to the Replacements, Pleased to Meet Me. I almost bought this on vinyl the other day buuuuut I hadn't heard it all the way through and didn't want to take my chances. Silly, 'cause I like the Replacements doing anything. Pretty good tho.

Cordial! I've been doing a lot of hand-shaking lately.

Also, bought S. Kracauer's The Mass Ornament today, haha!
