Though I�ve reached a nice simpatico sand bar with my critics this week, the comments I�ve been getting on my column on karaoke must be karma for the bitchy letters I wrote to Jane Magazine and Organic Style last week.

My letter to OS:

I�m glad that Kirsty Hume seems to have become more conscious of her environment since obviously letting a coffee shop door slam on my niece a few years ago in Woodstock, NY. (Maybe she had a cold?) People often overlook that important aspect of conscious living�minding our bodies, if we can. If people were just a little more careful around each other the sidewalk, the coffee shop, the public bathroom would be much more pleasant.

PS. Moby has a towel warmer?

Yeah. On the first page of the article on Moby he�s all, �I could never have a Lamborghini�I�d feel like a jerk.� He�s all vegan and everything. And that�s great. But if you�re going to be so heavy-handed about not using excess energy and the like, you probably shouldn�t have a towel warmer? Unless of course it�s solar-powered. There�s a picture of his bathroom and stuff, and a caption about how he wanted everything to be so utilitarian, hence his builder bought a big stainless steel sink at a restaurant supply store. They mention nothing about the creature comfort towel warmer looming yuppily behind. Maybe they figure we don�t know what it is? We�re freakin� Americans! We get our anuses bleached �n shit.

He�s got a gas fireplace too. Anyway...
