You always want to be on top of a trend, right? Well, it’s good to see I’m not alone in making the move to the suburbs: crazy person Amy Winehouse is apparently also moving to a quiet suburb of London when she gets out of her latest rehab. Sadly, her purpose is not to bring her particular brand of falling-down-drunk to the suburbs; instead, she’s moving there to avoid the temptations of the city.
This sort of goes against my Suma philosophy, the idea that you can bring a little bit of your city to the suburbs. My point is that I’m going to try to find something in the suburbs that feeds that pretentious, pseudo-hip sides of my personality that’s so deeply important to me. Then again, my pretentious, pseudo-hip side doesn’t include a massive heroin problem (which I guess is what you get when you’re really seriously hip, not pseudo-hip), so my baggage is a lot easier to carry, like on rollers.
And I guess Amy would be moving to “Sulo,” not “Suma”. But it makes me happy to know that celebrities are doing what I’m doing. I feel validated!
UPDATE: This didn’t work out so well. RIP, Amy.
