No No No No this cannot be happening to me. It CANNOT be happening to me

This is what happens when you admit to loving the newest Justin Timberlake song. What happens? One of your absolute, all-time favorite singers on the planet — Mr. Delectable Deliciouso himself teams up with the Minstrels of Doom.

Yes. Mike Doughty is opening up for the motherfucking Barenaked Ladies on their big US Tour this fall.

The Barefuckingnaked Ladies.

My stomach hurts. My hands are shaky. I’m thinking of tearing my garments from my body, falling to my knees and cursing the heavens above. Why is this happening to me? The only way this could be worse is if they announced Gwen Stefani as a special guest.

The Barenaked Fuckwits? Oh my god.

At a big arena even.

I think, and I know this is drastic and probably crazy talk, but I think I might have to skip this Doughty show. I know, I know, I know. My eyes are welling up just typing the words.

But the Barenaked Ladies? Really? Ouch. This one is really gonna sting for awhile.

You were all like, “Justin, sexy this & Justin, sexy that”…well see what happens. Let this be a lesson.

& You could always go & flee before BNL took the stage.

Look on the bright side: it’s a big paycheck for Doughty, and a chance to expose his music to a bigger fanbase.

Don’t be afraid to leave early, though, BNL, ewwww.

Btw, Justin Timberlake was on Letterman last night. It was a great performance. I am trying really hard not to like Justin Timberlake, but he does get points for dumping Britney Spears, and I like that song.
One of the last concerts I went to was Barenaked Ladies. Loved it.

I might almost be game for this.

We could always retreat to the club level bar to make snarky fun on BNL…..

Things I Want to Tell You

Someone needs to invent a bug repellent spray that not only keeps the mosquitoes away but includes some sort of anti-itch stuff to keep the bites you've already gotten from itching like crazy. [+]

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]
