So I didn't end up doing the Girl Talk thing because they actually had more people than they needed. Which is bad because I sort of would have been interested in seeing them, but good due to not having to jump into a cramped station wagon with a bunch of dudes when I've already been standing up all day. TMBG were pretty good though, and it was ( Read more... )

I don't think I ever brought it up here, but I have started an internship at local concert venue TT The Bears, and tonight was my first night. I feel like I'm a good while away from being behind the boards myself, but it seems like a pretty good learning opportunity. Basically for now I'm helping set up for bands, cleaning up (my first night ( Read more... )

This song just will not leave my head lately.

So today was national pillow fight day, and because it was a beautiful day and I feel like I don't do enough crazy stuff like this, I packed up my pillow in my old neia tote bag and joined in at Harvard Square. I didn't get some of the weirder get-ups people had (there was a pink gorilla, a peanut butter jelly time style banana, and more), and also ( Read more... )

More people know about their "Iron Man" cover, but I kind of like this better. They make it sound so sad.

Me: (looks at cellphone, gives time)
Him: You gay, huh?
Me: Um, no...

I asked this to facebook and didn't really get any useable answers: I've got a bike license plate with decal letters, and want to spell something short on it other than my name, but can't think of anything. I tested it out, and my initial idea "are we not men" turns out to only come frustratingly close to fitting the available space. The one ( Read more... )

I have a pack-rat tendency to keep old mix cd's around and lose the tracklisting somewhere down the line. So on occasion I'll put one on for the sake of curiosity and/or nostalgia and it will include several unknown tracks that catch my interest, but can't be found by googling lyrics. These are some of them, all from one mix circa 2002, and I'm ( Read more... )

So I noticed a couple other people doing this, and it seemed kind of interesting: Go here and ask me some anonymous questions.
