oh baby you can walk you can talk just like me

I had a birthday! 24 in an ongoing sequence. And then the next day America had a birthday, and that was pretty fun too. On both days I ate myself stupid and drank many bottles of beer. I also came to the conclusion that Addis Red Sea is my favorite restaurant in the Boston metropolitan area and that Hakim Stout is one of the most delicious ( Read more... )

Happy Birthday!

What happened to the library, or am I seriously outdated. I love Stop Making Sense.

Well, I'm still in library school, but do not as yet actually work for one. I am interning this fall, though. Working for free. I wonder if, a hundred years from now, internships will be seen as a sort of indentured servitude for privileged white kids.

Internships are the equivalent to prostitution to the academic world, except there is usually no pay and the only benefit is that your experience will land you into the porn industry.

Okay, maybe that was not such a good analogy.

what book is that? vogdoid July 5 2006, 23:39:48 UTC

"Naive Melody" has been my theme song since HS

This Must be the Place by some terrible douche. It's pretty informative, I guess, but the guy has the most irritating prose style I've ever encountered. Plus he seems to have a sort of vendetta against David Byrne. Plus he takes shots at Prince for no apparent reason. Plus he cribbed the title from a song that is a million heads and shoulders above anything that he'd be able to create in eleven lifetimes.

I like the phrase "ate myself stupid", and fully intend to steal it. I am well acquainted with the feeling.

And hey, a reference to the only Talking Heads song to contain purely gratuitous power chords!

It is a pretty great feeling. And that song is amazing for so many reasons, the gratuitous power chords being a good starting point.

Happy birthday! And happy den' nezavisimosti...the Middlebury Russian school was in full swing during my first 4th of July in the States, so I didn't even get to see a parade or fireworks. Laaame.

Thanks, man. I didn't see any parades or fireworks either, but it was mostly because I preferred sitting out on a deck and getting drunk to trekking up a hill in 800% humidity.

happy birthday, cousin.
