How does Pandora know that Pinback sandwiched between Band of Horses and The National is the perfect accompaniment to legal writing?

Thank you robot music-selection gods.

Dear Facebook:

You motherfucker.

Within the constellation of complaints I have about this black hole of social media, fucking Farmville updates have become a blaring supernova.

The worst part about Farmville updates, besides their frequency and monopoly on the e-real estate of "walls," is the frequent use of the plural pronoun "their" as a substitute for a non-gender specific second-person possessive pronoun, which the English...

For the record, I love Lady Gaga.

Finally, a chick flick with braaaaaaaaaaiiiinns.

My fav great masterpiece of literature with zombie trash mashup, Pride and Prejudice & Zombies, is gonna be a movie!

I c-c-c-c-CAN'T WAIT!

Thank ye very much.

It's a TV On The Radio kind of day.

Wolf Like Me is carrying me through a particularly dull research and writing task.

I feel like I could crash through my window and tear down Fifth Avenue on all fours, steaming howls into the cold.

I'm generally NOT a germ-a-phobe, but where feces meets food products, I cringe.

ABC's latest scare piece features the gag-a-maggot study finding that 30 soda fountain machines contained fecal matter. (They are all in Virginia ... just sayin...)

New Rule: If you're not laughing, then it's not funny, so don't use LOL.

If you must be frivolous, use El Oh El, because it that's funny.

There has been a MURDAH in SAVANNAH ... I do declay-ah

File this away in the restoring my faith humanity: Early this morning, my wallet fell out of an unzipped jacket pocket. Fell out onto the street. Fell out in the middle of a busy street in Brooklyn, New York, in the post dawn commuting hours. Unbenknownst to me, I stopped in my fav coffee shop for some java. Reached in pocket: Nada. Minor freak out....

I'm like 99% sure I saw Adrian Grenier at my gym in Brooklyn this morn.

I'm completely ashamed of myself that it made me nervous.

Happy New Year

Next year, I hope to simplify my life.

Just run and run ... oh, and find a new job that doesn't make me want to stick a pen in my eye ... and also figure out a way to grow food in Brooklyn ... and start a not-for-profit or maybe a biodiesel business ... and get a new tattoo ... and a...

So punk, it will poke your eye out.

A friend sent me a fantastic blog about my mid-90s punk band, Level Head, including access to our entire discography. I was pretty stoked.

Punk rock historian blogger extraordinaire, James Joyce, formerly of the hardcore wunderkind Car v. Driver, has a blog devoted to preserving the punk scene in Atlanta. Apparently featured us about a year...
