IM MOVING!

I'm going to continue to be M.I.A. for a while, probs until after the Fourth of July. I am moving to Boca Raton, to work like a grown up. Moving cross country is an epic process and basically hell. I promise loads of great updates and info when I return.

In the meantime, check out my links to satisfy your gossip needs.

AHHHHH.


Best. Book. Ever. And I'm not just saying that because Joel left a comment on my Philosophy Soda Fountain post. Although that was very exciting. I felt very important. Oh how I feel old popularity issues washing over me.

You need to read Swish. You'll alternately laugh and ponder serious questions, which is an odd yet somehow deeply satisfying combination.

Visit Joel's website also. It's great.

Amy Winehouse Has Emphysema.



I'm going to be serious right now. This is very sad. According to her father Mitch, Amy is in the hosipital where she has been told that she is suffering from emphysema.

According to The Daily Mail:

"In an emotional interview the cab driver told how doctors have warned his daughter – who was rushed to hospital last week – that she may be forced to wear a permanent oxygen mask to survive if she doesn’t follow medical advice."

The article goes on to say that Amy could also end up in a wheelchair within a month if she does not follow medical advice by quitting crack and ciggarettes.

Mitch told The Daily Mail that "‘With smoking the crack cocaine and the cigarettes her lungs are all gunked up. There are nodules around the chest and dark marks. She's got 70 per cent lung capacity."

He also said that she is resolved to kick drugs once and for all, and that suprisingly, Blake has vowed to do the same. He has even asked for arrangements to be made to send him to rehab after he is released from jail.

Good luck Amy. Please get well. I know I tease about her, but she truly is one of the great talents of our time.
