at the bus station this morning
Me: What are you so stressed about? Stop doing deep breathing exercises.
Mom: Well, the last time I sent you off back to New York you got mugged.
Me: MOM I did not get mugged...I got assaulted. They didn't actually take anything.
Mom: Yeah that sounds much better, let me call all my friends and correct myself.

7 Tips to Prevent Van Theft on Tour
alexburton:
This could be your tour van after some scumbag rips you off.
It seems like there’s been a rash of band robberies lately. Kill Hannah, Poison the Well, Noah and the Whale, Valencia; maybe it’s just coincidence, maybe it’s the tough economy. Whatever it is, I thought I’d help my fellow musicians with some advice and tools on how to not get robbed on tour.
I remember going to see my...

Working on a new pandora station is like training a dog I think. Like when a puppy does something and you’re like “Well, this is cute right now, but I don’t want to encourage this kind of behavior.” I mean, I’m not going to thumbs-down a No Doubt song, but letting that slide just leaves the door open for it to start playing The Cranberries.

Last week I mentioned Will Phillips, the 10-year-old Arkansan who has refused to say the Pledge of Allegiance until gays and lesbians have equal rights. CNN’s John Roberts asks Phillips why the issue is so important to him.

Me: So I've been reading this blog by this woman who lives in a cabin in Wyoming--
Mom: Why?!?
Me: She has a coyote!!

(these thoughts are brought to you as I watch the new Chris Brown video)
Chris Brown, I’m just not ready for you to have another single yet, because I still haven’t forgiven you for what you did to Rihanna. In fact, I will probably never forgive you. But I don’t even feel bad about it, because let’s face it, you’re probably never going to do anything that I love more...
I never know what to say...
I chopped my hair off in July. And I got a new job at Fuse in August. Yet every day, someone approaches me and says one of the following:
-Oh my god, you cut your hair! or -Hey!! You’re back!!
Yesterday someone said “Wow, fancy seeing you here!” while I was walking past the cubicle that I’ve occupied for the last 10 weeks. Usually I just laugh and nod because frankly it...

Two notes for future doctors.
1. If you say “I’m going to write you a prescription for eardrops like you got last time,” your patient will expect them to be approximately the same price, rather than 10x more expensive.
2. If your patient explicitly tells you to your face that they’re going to skip the suggested followup appointment because they have to pay out of pocket for everything, they probably...
