wale et al.

Late next month, Washington, D.C. up-and-comer Wale plans to release The Mixtape About Nothing, an entire set of hip-hop cuts inspired by Seinfeld. (Check out a preview of the mixtape's cover art at left.) "I think I've seen every episode, like, 30 times," Wale said when EW.com called him at the NYC studio of producer Mark Ronson (Amy Winehouse, Lily Allen) yesterday. Wale says he's particularly partial to the show's controversial 1997-98 swan song. "The last season is very underrated. A lot of Seinfeld fans be like, 'Oh, the last season is so over-the-top.' I'm like, it's about reinventing!" Wale played us an early snippet of a song called "Hype" over the phone. The meditation on celebrity opens with a lengthy sample from one of Jerry Seinfeld's Season 7 stand-up monologues: "I love it when people are complimented on something they're wearing, and they accept the compliment as if it was about them..."

here i am, about to go to bed and i find myself missing proper things. 'proper' ? you ask? yes proper. for example, i miss a proper blanket, one that is long enough so my feet dont stick out. don't get me wrong, mine is great, it keeps me warm but it's just about an inch and a half too short, and yeah, my feet stick out. i miss a proper kitchen, a kitchen thats not just a notch in the wall with a microwave and a stovetop. a kitchen that you can hang out it, that you can walk around in, that is a room unto itself... it's that strange life that you get used to when you're not at home anymore, when you don't have the luxury to have exactly what you want, or the money to buy what it is that you 'need'. thats a bit of what i've been living in paris.

but if i'm not here, then i miss proper bread (baguettes; morning and night) and the possibility to get a decent, cheap, quick, coffee in any hood, at any time of the day.

i've usurped the british usage of proper, and i find it, well, quite nice...

in less literary terms, i was just about to pass out after a night of riding bikes, and drinking, with woo nix, and the chan luu crew, and i was like, damn, i wish this blanket were a bit longer... and then i realized, that i wont buy a longer blanket this year, i'll just deal with the short, pain in the ass blanket that i have, and i found myself wishing for a 'proper' blanket... and 'proper' other things as well... and then i says to myself... i says..'self, proper is a good word' ... and here we are... i hope you use proper soon.
