You know how sometimes you hear a song and you find yourself identifying with it and then it hits you that this must be The Low Point In Your So-Called Adult Life because the song you’re identifying with is by P!NK?!?

And then you’re comforted by the thought that this IS the low point and things can only get better?

Right.

So I’m sorry to have to tell you this, but I’ve been conducting a series of HIGHLY SCIENTIFIC-esque experiments, the results of which are as follows:

There is, in fact, a Low Point that is far, far lower than The Point Formerly Known As The Low Point (now called The P!NK Point), and that would be The Point In Your So-Called Adult Life (now known as The Raccoon Eyes Point) In Which You Find Yourself Identifying With Songs By The Pretty Reckless.

(Yes. Taylor Momsen’s AKA Jenny Humphrey’s “band.” Yes.)

Exhibit A (P!nk, “Sober”):

“Whatever You Like” — Anya Marina (T.I. cover)

Making me think of… oh, crap. This is one of those things where I’m sworn to secrecy. But “a conglomeration of all things San Francisco/Bay Area (post-last call)” works, too.

I didn’t post the video (even though it’s super-awesome) because its humor, I think, detracts from the eerie nature of Marina’s cover (which is the part that’s working for me right now). But:

1. You should watch it.
2. It was totally filmed at the Mercer Street Babeland!
3. (In case you’ve forgotten) (or missed it) (how could you??) Anya Marina’s version was also put to genius use in Gossip Girl 3 x 09’s Penn Badgley + Jessica Szohr + HILARY DUFF make out scene. (HELLO Upper East Siders!)

So why does it feel so “Bay Area,” then?

Okay. Added to my To-Do List:

Finally write up theory re: why SF is more debauched (on the whole) than NYC.

For my next trick, I will explain why it both is and is not fitting that Blair’s favorite Manet is Le Déjeuner sur l’herbe, as well as why that very same painting basically is Chuck Bass.

Only I guess I should watch the episode first.


Except I kind of don’t think I have to.

Last night’s tweet was inspired by Jacob Clifton’s brilliant TWOP recaps of Gossip Girl.

Seriously, people. You should be reading these even if you don’t watch the show.

when it’s 7:30 am on a monday morning and you still haven’t gone to sleep despite the fact that you’re facing a world’s worth of responsibilities, it’s entirely possible that you’ll be overtaken by odd thoughts. for example, you may very well find yourself thinking, “you know, i really should have taken that job guiding wannabe gossip girls through the dangerous terrain that is long island city. sure beats returning to the bay area to go back to school.”

OMG YOU GUYS THE FINALE IS TONIGHT!!! OMG!!! OMzzz….
