i should probably delete “wii” from my FB interests, since i haven’t used mine in maybe 2 years. but, let’s be honest, karaoke is great. a few of my friends (mike et al) and i went to rack n roll (a 7-days-a-week karaoke bar) this snowy holiday evening and i got the chance to sing not one, but two songs. my first was the hit “born to run” by a certain new...
Merry saX-MAS to me
also posted on my FB so it’s kind of pointless here but oh well
I’m sure i’ll find a host of other decent 2009 albums in the ensuing months…i’m not that avant-garde.
1. Andrew Jackson Jihad - Can’t Maintain. Probably the only good “punk” album all year. This was in the first batch of albums i reviewed, and it’s my most listened-to album on...

since the severely over-hyped vampire weekend is putting out their sophomore album next month (and it happens to be all abuzz over the internet for some reason), it’s sparking me to listen to paul simon’s graceland all this week. it doesn’t hurt that it’s a beautiful, heartwarming record that i’ve yet to overplay. will paul simon be the analogous winter to my summer...
oh dear dear.

agree with almost every sentiment in this. including the cold coffee and office worthlessness. but mostly piano lessons, wine, fireplace and scrabble. you guys have a FIREPLACE. you two must live in some glorious mansion. so lucky.
why is it always so cold everywhere?
the office is not getting much of me today. i’m trying to imagine i’m in a hot bath reading or doing...
while reading this Onion Article, i needed to know what brand of cigarettes our president favors. i figured that would maybe be the greatest thing to boost sales a company could dream of. at least to start the rumor and have it be a word-of-mouth-urban-legend.

is it appropriate to worry about my tumblarity?

I just can’t stand here all day talking to my many fans.”
