Oh my god, it's my last day in NYC ( Read more... )

My post yesterday about the Beatles got me thinking about bands and musicians in general, and in particular, favorite bands and artists. That reminded me of a throwaway quote in a review I read last week. The quote was something along the lines of, "If you had to list your top 10 albums...."

It seems that everyone has been posting their TV viewing schedule for the fall. I was going to follow suit and do the same until I realized that I'm only planning on watching 2 shows (The O.C. and Lost) regularly. As for everything else, I just don't care that much. The weird thing is that I seem to watch a fair amount of TV, but I guess I end ( Read more... )

You know what's fun? Stumbling out of bed at 6am, blindly making your way into the living room towards the kitchen, and turning around to see a stranger crashed on the futon ( Read more... )
