How much do I hate New Year's Eve?
A lot. I hate the forced frivolity of it all. I hate how I’m never really with the people I want to be. Don’t even get me started on New Year’s Resolutions… But I’m still going to attempt to think of some… Here are some realistic goals for 2k9 Do Tai Chi every day Take more pictures Snack less, work out more Don’t look so depressed on the bus Cook...

So, My New Goal for 2k9 is...
…To write a shitty fantasy novel, (ala Twilight) about some sexually-repressed bullshit and make boat-loads of cash, (and that’s even before the shitty movie version.) Srsly, I could do it. Stephanie fucking Meyers did it and have you read her “writing.” Bitch can’t write her way out of a paper bag. Bitch.

She's a Killa
While watching the telly...
Dad: Can you imagine your life being that closely examined?
Mom: That's why I'm not trying to run for the presidency...
Dad: Geeze, what'd you do?
Me: You'd have to kill us, if you told us, right?
Mom: You wouldn't even know what hit you.

But What I Really Hate Is...
… When people I haven’t seen or (presumably) thought about in eons show up in my dreams. I think I’m going to have to sit down and have a serious conversation with my subconscious. (I mean) Srsly. Get out of my dreams, assholes! Part of my dream last night was about how I was on this (school) bus to Chicago to apply for internships but I hadn’t brought: my wallet my...

Can this day get any better?
After a day of my mom buying me a whole new wardrobe, (under the guise that it will be professional clothes for internships…) …I’m now watching Bedknobs and Broomsticks!!! Nazi-fighting witches and precocious British orphans ride beds to animated islands… what more could you want…? Does anybody else remember loving that movie?

Choice Quotes from Catchphrase
"Funny" quotes from the traditional Catchphrase game at my Christmas Party:
Alyx: mmmm mmmm MMM MMM (using grunts and staccato hand gestures in a sad attempt at what we think was communication)
Dave: When a pussy doesn't do what you want it to... (Clue was: That Darn Cat)
Me: You know, when somebody's about to be married...
Pat: They're knocked up!
Someone: Ok, it's what Alyx was when she was younger...
Chad (Alyx's boyfriend): CHUBBY!
Everyone else: oooooooooooooohhhh (assorted painful sounding noises)
Dave: What Tim and I played...
Everyone: TENNIS
Zach: What the fuck! I played too.
Dave: FUCK YOU, We played for FOUR YEARS!
Dave: So you're smoking a lot and you keep buying cigarrettes, but you're trying to quit and then.... (this goes on for about 15 more seconds)
Everyone: confused silence...
(The clue turned out to be buying a lottery ticket...?)
*This may have been one of those 'you had to be there' things, but I don't really care : P

This is probably the coolest/cutest video I’ve seen in a loong time. This guy started the project while traveling through Europe where he records himself doing an improvised dance to a randomly selected pop song. Uh-ma-ziiing.

It's That Time of Year Again

Hipster: The Dead End of Western Civilization |... →
“Dawn breaks and the last of the after-after-parties begin to spill into the streets. The hipsters are falling out, rubbing their eyes and scanning the surrounding landscape for the way back from which they came. Some hop on their fixed-gear bikes, some call for cabs, while a few of us hop a fence and cut through the industrial wasteland of a nearby condo development. The half-built condos...

Take a Look (in a book)
Instructions: Grab the book closest to you. Go to page 56. Find the 5th sentence. Write that sentence in the text box. What I found: “After the amputation and the trip to Houston, we didn’t see Mother much.” -Mary Karr’s Liar’s Club

The Week Before Finals Means...
…that I will decide to embark on semi-productive, (but for all the wrong reasons) projects that don’t exactly elevate my GPA. For example, I suddenly got the irresistible urge to organize… er… untangle my massive yarn collection. (or starting a new blog… oops.) Bad life choice. On last.fm apparently this year was owned by Coldplay’s Viva La Vida since it won...
