re: Sleater-Kinney Concert approaches...and so does, Andy Dick?


So I'm heading to the Sleater-Kinney concert next Monday, 7/31, with two cool kids from NYC, the soon at the altar pair of Nate & Jenny, and I'm totally psyched to be able to go see a great show with two people I adore...but I do have one thing that gives me pause.

And that one thing is...Andy Dick. Now, Andy Dick is not his real name, but the nickname I assigned to my ex when we stopped talking a few months back. I figure the name serves a two-fold purpose, giving people who haven't (and have) met him an idea of who he looks like and allowing him anonymity just in case I trash his (pseudo) name.

Which I don't intend to do, but back to the (Andy) Dick. He positively adores Sleater-Kinney and could not contain his overjoyed nature when he heard The Woods for the first time. He proceeded to foist a burned copy of the CD onto me, and finally after his urging, I did listen to the CD and thought it was definitely an amazing album.

Well, my issue is that we haven't talked or seen each other (except for the occasional glimpse of him skulking down the street) for months and as Sleater-Kinney is breaking up, I know he'll be at the show. And probably with his latest boyfriend, Cippolini. Again, not his real name.

So (and I know it's not a matter of 'if') when I see him, what should I do? I avoid eye contact, keep a berth of 3 feet between he and I at all times and vomit on him should he speak to me?

Just curious what your opinion is. He kind of hurt my feelings right before we stopped speaking, so it's not as though I hate him, but let's just say he's a...Andy Dick!

Ah, screw it, if I see him, I'll give him a "Fuck Off" look and go abouts having fun with Nate & Jenny at a cool show. Issue resolved.

Anorexic Finally Takes A Bite of Something...Her Boyfriend

Ok, I know, maybe I shouldn't find this funny, but dammit, I do. The chick in the article is an anorexic mess, but that didn't stop her from taking a bite out of her boyfriend.

`Real World' Cast Member Arrested for Assault
CROMWELL, Conn. (AP), July 11, 2006 - A cast member on MTV's "The Real World" was arraigned on a misdemeanor assault charge after police said she bit her boyfriend during a domestic dispute.
Paula Ann Meronek, 25, allegedly bit her boyfriend several times when he refused to let her into their home early Sunday morning, police said.
"I think it was an argument that led to one thing then another," said Cromwell Police Chief Anthony Salvatore. "He attempted to keep her from the house. It got physical and we were contacted."
Meronek, who was arraigned Monday, was charged with third-degree assault, which carries a potential penalty of a year in prison. She is due back in court Aug. 11. No lawyer was listed in court documents.
Her boyfriend, John Alyward, was charged with disorderly conduct. The arrest was first reported by The Middletown Press.
"The Real World," now in its 17th season, puts seven strangers together in an exotic locale - this time in a Key West, Fla., beach house.
A call to the show's producer was not immediately returned.
