An interesting article… I am guilty of some of the accusations being made but ultimately the author makes a great point about what new media has done to our generation.
I don’t like this, because it’s true and because it’s me.
One time I told Kay about a sandwich I’d eaten that day, and I talked about it for like 5 minutes and I...
WatchI think I really like Cady Groves. She reminds me a lot of someone/something but I can’t quite place it.
The closest I can think of is that she reminds me a mix of Taylor Swift and NeverShoutNever (except, back when he was adorable and toured in a station wagon and wrote all his songs about his camp girlfriend*)
*the camp girlfriend thing is an assumption and not based on actual facts.

Both my roommates are subletting their rooms starting in April, one for 2 months and one for 7 months. The apartment will be me + two dudes for the next two months. I was going to say “This should be interesting” but I’m pretty sure nothing is going to change except they’ll probably take up more space in our itty bitty fridge.
Also I technically did live with Wilhelm for...
Welcome to my life.
I just wrote down some timecodes that I needed on a post-it and put it on a tape. Then I lost the post-it when I went to give the tape to someone. I spent five minutes searching my cube, and retracing my steps (all ten of them) and finally just sat down to re-look up the timecodes.
I handed the tape off a second time and the AE I was handing it to said “You have a post-it on your...

A breakdown of the time I spent in TJ Maxx and Bed...
5 minutes: selecting and purchasing a salad spinner (I picked this one.)
55 minutes: looking at every single other item in the kitchen or organizational departments, and then convincing myself that I did NOT need to buy them, even if they were red or orange or yellow or adorable (like a parakeet garlic press or a teapot shaped like a strawberry)

Ipod Shuffle Week
In any given month, there are probably about 20 or so bands that I listen to regularly. There are others I listen to from time to time, but there are literally thousands of songs in my itunes library that I’ve never listened to. CDs I pilfered from work or internships because it “seems like something I would like” but then loaded it in itunes and ignored it.
This week I decided...
An open letter.
Dear baby next door,
I’m very sorry that you are scared/sad/angry/tired/hungry/pooped in your pants/whatever else babies cry about. However, it’s after midnight and I have to work in the morning. While your earsplitting screams are impressively loud for what I’m sure is a very small human being, I really do need a little sleep.
Since we share a wall, I’d like to kindly...
On second thought, I don’t actually know if “under $1” is wrong, but it sounds wrong (and definitely looked wrong in billboard form.)
I’m on a boltbus on the way back to NYC from Philly, and I just passed a billboard for Bamboozle that said “Under $1 per band.”
1. THAT IS TERRIBLE GRAMMAR. (less than)
2. Sure, $1 per band playing, but there’s no possible way to see every single band playing, even if you only watch one song per set. Last year I managed to catch 30 or 40 bands in the 2 days, but that was...
I don’t really care about American Idol, though I tend to watch it anyway. Tonight they kicked off 4 people and in every single case I think someone else should’ve gone. A lot of mediocre people in the top 12 now.
These are the people who SHOULD have gone home tonight: -boring redhead -crazy eyes -that guy who sang Hinder -Haley Joel Osment’s clone
Just because I sit next to the kitchen doesn't...

You sit next to the windows, but that doesn’t make you a window washer.
I used to sit next to the color printer upstairs, and apparently that made it my job to change the cartridges. One time I figure out how to do it by (a) opening the printer and (b) reading the clearly printed directions inside. After that I just pretended I didn’t know when people asked me. If I spoonfeed...

It's not like Grey's Anatomy at all.
There were no nurses standing around the front desk gossiping about which attending gave them all syphilis or anything! But there were cops there who dragged a screaming girl out of the waiting room kicking and screaming.
It wasn’t a first for me to see my dad fall down and hit his head and have to go to the hospital (also happened about 10 years ago, thanks to icy steps at church. This...

New game: same-length-song playlists
Yesterday was supposed to be a nice day, so I made a plan to go for a walk on my lunch hour. I figured the easiest way to know how long I was gone/how far to go would be to make a playlist on my ipod that’s an hour long with all the songs the same length. That way I could walk away from work for 10 songs, then turn around and head back.
I sorted my itunes by song length and had 87 songs...
Discrepancies
I have 1306 artists in my itunes collection.
I have 594 artists in my last.fm library.
Hmmm…
