Real wood iPod. That is so cool! Reminds me of when Kramer put fake wood wallpaper up in his apartment.

HOLY CRAP. Guess who was just in our shop? Parker Posey. PARKER POSEY. She’s in town filming Superman, where she evidently plays the “female baddie.” And no, I didn’t even get to see her! The girls just told me she was in and I was like, “WHAT? YOU DIDN’T CALL ME?!” And then I started…
