Fewer flourishes, please
Oh yeah, so I’ve been in New York for the past five days. Today was my first day back at work and it was a crazy one.
I’ll try to find some time later to post some of the trip highlights.
Right now, though, I must address a pressing matter.
Listen up; listen good: Yelp is not the place to test out your creative writing/blogging skills. Give me the gist and save the rambling...

I really need to stop perusing Tumblr’s #glee page. I keep inadvertently seeing spoilers and getting wayyyyyy too excited about tonight’s episode.

Not quite a miracle (whip)
I keep catching a whiff of something and I don’t know where it’s coming from. It’s pretty close to the smell of spreading mayonnaise on a toasted piece of bread.

TWOP 10: Things we're dreading about the 2009-2010... →
1. Lost ending While we’re anxiously waiting for midseason for Lost to come back, we’re also more than a bit sad about this being the final season of this landmark show. We’re dying to find out how it all turns out, but the idea of a life without new episodes to closely examine is truly depressing. Especially if this series finale is a letdown like BSG or The Sopranos.

Hip Hip Hooray
Went to Will’s Pub with Ryan and Chelsea last night. We went to watch and support The Pauses (the guitarist lives in the same building as Ryan).
Here are some of the Hipster Highlights:
- Right off the bat, walking up we are greeted with the most glorious Hipster Handlebar mustache. The kind you just want to set on fire.
- Really cute girl made less cute by wearing a gingham picnic...

“Do you get the feeling that we’re not cool enough to be here?”
– Chelsea, as we walk in to the hipster den that is Will’s Pub on a Thursday night.
Kicking off a new tag, it’s called “fucking hipsters.”

Last.FM, I’ve banned three (3) Art Brut songs today and you just played another one—just two songs after the last one I banned. Are you just messing with me now?

Ay yo, Art Brut, you know that’s not really singing, right? Ok, glad you’re aware of it. I was just stopping by to ask while on my way to hitting Last.FM’s skip button.

Jesse Camp Goes Pee Pee Off the Boom Boom Room’s... →
This interview is hilarious on many levels.
Mainly because I’d assumed that Jesse Camp had basically become a street urchin as soon as his stint with MTV was over. Lost to the streets; out of sight and mind.
Also, “I’m sober as a kanober” is my new favorite phrase.

Zac Efron's Pool Party (2009) (V) →
Wait, what?
I actually watched 17 Again this weekend and was impressed with Mr. Efron’s acting.
Also, he has a vicious case of AFD (abs for days).

WatchSmoosh - “Rad”
This song came on while I was listening to the Architecture in Helsinki station on Last.FM (flanked by Her Space Holiday and The Decemberists). What these artists have in common, I have no idea, but I dare you to listen to this song and not smile at the innocence.
See I don’t really care where I go You can go here or there, anywhere Doesn’t really matter...

WatchThis is how we roll.
As you can hear, it gets pretty loud/hectic when my family gets together. I assure you it gets quieter once we’re all stuffing our gaping maws with meat.

stop eating!

I really like the idea of a “sin tax” on stuff like soda and other junk food. As of about a year ago, the only time I drink soda is when I have the occasional rum and coke. Granted, my drink of choice is sweet tea; but when I make it at home, I use 4TB sugar per pitcher of tea (about 2 quarts). I guess my next step is to switch to unsweet tea. Baby...

Wanted: Owner of aforementioned underwear. You happened to leave these in a very suggestive place, that being midway up the back stairs to my apartment. Do you realize that this is how most movies that air after midnight on Cinemax begin? I’m fairly certain you were not leaving a trail, for I did not find a bra in the hallway. I’m also fairly certain they didn’t just fall off, and...
