Boston Basement Brigade‘s third show is going to be in my basement [again] this weekend. Come early before the cops show up.
Fun Nu Internet-majig [AKA: more reasons to dick around on the Job!!]: muxtape.com
Basically, you get to upload up to ten songs [can rotate! will rotate!] to share with all y’all friends.
Here is Mine. Currently the server is overloaded [probs ’cause everyone’s so psyched to not make tapes] but it should be back up by 9 pm tonight. Generally, a lot easier than maintaining a music blog [I am Lazy.]
I’ve been stricken by the Great Burrito Epidemic of 2008. What does this mean, exactly? Oh, just that my burrito count is at an all-time high [comparable, even, to the two years I spent living next door to the Tenleytown Chipotle], culminating in the following stats:
Saturday: 1, Burritos on Fire
Monday: 1, Boloco
Tuesday: 1, El Pelon
Wednesday: 2, Burritos on Fire & Boloco
Thursday: 1, Boloco
And counting!!!
Unfortunately, the only known vaccines to this heartburning, gut-twisting, bowel-moving disease are:
a] not liking burritos
b] being allergic to delicious foods
c] AKA being a Capital-L Double-O Zed Er L00ZER
d] eating a burrito to sate your cravin’. Side effects may include a full belly and the delicious sting of Tapatio on your lips, as well as laziness and bowel movements.
Thank you.
…written with much more gracious words than I would have chosen [those words would make a sailor blush!]. Thanks, Katha Pollitt!
I got quoted by Gawker. I’m #7. Yeah, it was a comment, BUT STILL. And TRUE. Fixie-riders are mostly straight! [and always cute. ;D]
I have a manifesto or two in the works but since I’m PMSing I’m refraining from anything substantive, although I’d be more than happy to discuss primary dysmenorrhea at a later date [such topics as: do I need this or what?], but I am happy to, in brief, gossip-style round-up, tell you some things that have been catching my fancy. After you click ‘Continue Reading>>’:
Today I was petting my cat Tigris/Tigress/Tigerlily [she is six months old and still doesn’t have a definitive name.] and I said to her [because we, you know, talk], ‘Tigris, I don’t think I could ever love any Human the way I love you. Ours is a love that transcends just about Everything.’ Then I thought about it and instead of second-guessing myself, I concluded that it’s true! Cats are way better than people! And [BONUS!] if you ever miss irritating human qualities [because I, at least, sometimes miss really annoying things about people, like how my brother mooned people or how my old roommate stomped very loudly] cats are demanding and aloof enough to sate your cravings for Bad Behavior. Also, making a cat happy is much easier than making a human happy. All you have to do is pet it!
Also, I just played hide-and-go-seek with T-Kitty for 20 minutes. Also, I’m 22 years old.
This post is dedicated to Elizabeth England and Stefanie Gardner, two great humans who think that Annie is going to be a cat lady. -Ed.
