LJ style change whore!

I wear the label proudly. Those of you who've been around a while will not be shocked.

Another new style! New to me, at least. Haven. Ooh, lots of pre-selected color palettes for this one, and only a few that I like. I'm using Vardothiel at the moment, but that's set to change once I figure out what color mood I'm in. This looks as though it might be the most customizable style yet. I'll have to do some playing...

Update, for those of you on the west coast, JC's not on Regis and Kelly today.

I'm on vacation! :-)

Edited to add: Friggin' WHAT!? This style has no easily useable and accesible edit button? What the hell is up with that? That's one of the things I really liked about the new styles, that you could edit directly from your journal page instead of going here. I'm amazed. If that's the price I pay for some of the other whiz-bang features of this style, gimme my edit button back. ::weeps::

Guess I'll have to add a link for the edit page or something. This is really disappointing.

'NSYNC-er's solo debut has groove, albeit a tentative one

From theoaklandpress.com via Manda2119 at the JJB. Edited to add: Manda also said: "...this guy is generally not very kind to pop music and he never really liked 'NSYNC much."

Two stars ("so-so") out of four ("stellar").

Rollingstone.com again...

It's the same article so I won't add it here, but it popped up as new a couple of hours ago, probably because of tomorrow's release.

New CDs: Chasez, Frusciante. Reviews of "Schizophrenic," "Shadows Collide With People" and more

In other news, I just watched Suspicion. WTF? What a bizarre movie! Not one of my favorite Hitchcock films, that's for sure. And now I'm off to see what's up around fandom.

JC Chasez tries to grow out of his ’N Sync image

Grammy contender? Woohoo!

Now that's more like it! I think this might be what charlidos was telling me about, but I couldn't find it. From Jayne, at the JJB via barnesandnoble.com

E! Review: Consider yourself also justified, JC.

From Jayne at the Board of JC Lovin' (also known as the Board of Doom, also known as the JJB). Short, so I won't cut.

Grade B+

If Justin Timberlake is aiming to be the next-generation Michael Jackson (sans the creepy bits--so far), 'N Sync bandmate JC Chasez sounds like he's trying to fill the purple shoes of Prince. Throwing together horn-dog lyrics and pounding dance beats, the teen idol emerges with a debut that is surprisingly bright and confident. Even more surprising, it's actually pretty good. Passing over trendy hit makers like the Neptunes, Chasez instead ropes in underground stars like Basement Jaxx and Robb Boldt to get the blood pumping on retro-leaning songs like "All Day Long I Dream About Sex," "100 Ways" and "Some Girls (Dance with Women)." He even does a most convincing Sting impression on a reggae-hued "Everything You Want." Consider yourself also justified, JC.

Take a second just to breathe...

I've got fifty dollars that I can blow at Amazon. I'd like to get another copy of Schizophrenic for work, but the rest is up in the air. I seriously considered a two carat pair of peridot studs (ooh! pretty!), but I'm going for music and books.

Sadly, there are no more NSync toys to be had. Well, if I wanted the headset or Hip Clips, but I don't. So help me, folks. What else should I get? See, this is my problem, I'm so used to buying CDs used (with the exception of Live, Dave Matthews, NSync, and now the Chasez), that I'm at a loss. Basement Jaxx has been out long enough that I might be able to find a copy used. Ditto with BT's, should I go that route. I'm all conflicted and stuff.

Then there's the book option. I loved, loved, loved Lamb: The Gospel According to Biff, Christ's Childhood Pal, by Christopher Moore. What else of his is good? Will I enjoy it as much? Actually, I made the mistake of lending that one to my brother, so I should probably just suck it up and buy a replacement copy. ::sigh::

Hmmm. I love Biblical movies, I could get one of those! Maybe The Ten Commandments. Yul Brynner is MAD sexy in that. That walk! Jebus, he moves like oiled butter on Jello, and he's got great legs to go with it. Yes, I'm mackin' on an historical character from a Biblical movie. Paint a target on me and move out of the way.

Even tired and sick, the Chasez was insanely, freakishly, unnaturally, utterly beautiful on TRL. He continues to take my breath away, literally. Were cloning legal, I would *so* have JC Model 85/ID#2510-0AlE in my home. Not sure what the hubs would think about that, though. ;-)
