Loebly And Amazing

In the movie adaptation of High Fidelity, Rob (John Cusack) is amazed to find that his ex-girlfriend Charlie (Catherine Zeta Jones) has a listed phone number. I believe Rob's exact line is, "She's in the fucking phone book!" The book is less vulgar:

She's still living in London. I get her phone number and address from Directory Enquiries... It's incredible, really, to think that at any time over the last decade I could have done this: she has come to assume such an importance I feel she should be living on Mars, so that attempts to communicate with her would cost millions of pounds and take light-years to reach her. She's an extraterrestrial, a ghost, a myth, not a person with an answering machine and a rusting wok and a two-zone travel pass.

--Nick Hornby, High Fidelity

Tenant Gavin was more Cusack than Hornby last night when, during our viewing of "#1 Single", the reality show featuring Lisa Loeb, it was revealed that Lisa utilizes online dating services.


I'm not the best person to ask for an objective take on E!'s new show - if they televised Lisa shoveling horseshit, I'd probably watch religiously and buy the season one DVD. Still, you should be watching this program. We saw her in a bra Sunday night, and we're promised to see her in a thong next week. People - it just makes sense to watch Lisa Loeb, whether she's fully clothed on the Colbert Report or adjusting her cleavage on #1 Single.
