beards, ben, and levi johnston’s blues.

The Ben Folds and a Piano concert on Friday was awesome, and I have a new crush: his opening act, Zach Williams: Beard? Check. Flannel? Check. Guitar? Check. Adorable wife and daughter whom he talked about lots? Sigh, check. Because Mr. Williams is not yet supa-famous, we were able to chat with him after the [...]

please don’t be a player hater.

I adore this song: There is so much good music in my life these days, and that makes me absurdly happy. I have Ben Folds and Zach Williams tonight, and Phoenix, Ted Leo and the Pharmacists, and Jakob Dylan and Neko Case on the agenda in coming weeks. I’m a lucky girl. Happy Friday, kiddos! [...]

youtube clip of today: a BFD.

Oh FINE.  Unless you’ve been living under a rock, you’ve seen it (and certainly heard it) by now, but here is everyone’s Uncle Joe dropping the F bomb on live TV. I think he’s the greatest.  He’s just so lovably inappropriate!  You know he was sitting there thinking to himself, “What powerful words can I [...]

he’s just the boy for me.

I was doing work in the Starbucks on my campus earlier today, and they were playing all sorts of lovely songs. Said songs were being played WAY too loud for a coffee shop — they would have been better off in a bar setting — but that encouraged me to pay even more attention to [...]

just six words and a picture.

A note left by Rep. Patrick Kennedy on his father’s grave (Ted Kennedy). Warning: if you have a bleeding liberal heart, this may make you weep. This picture comes from the White House’s Flickr stream. “Dad, the unfinished business is done.” [Posted by Kathleen]

President Obama’s health care bill, which will provide millions of uninsured Americans with medical coverage, was passed tonight by Congress after months and months of struggle. FINALLY! The bill was passed 219-212. [Posted by Shannon]

sandra bullock and jesse james, NOOOOO!

Sandra Bullock is perfect.  She is a fantastic actress, self-deprecating, hilarious and gorgeous.   Although she seemed to be completely out of her husband’s league, they were so adorable together and seemed so in love, it didn’t matter. And still, he cheats. WHY DO GUYS WHO LOOK LIKE THIS: CHEAT ON WOMEN WHO LOOK LIKE [...]

youtube clip of today: chatroulette improv.

You guys have heard of Chatroulette by now, right? I’m not gonna lie, I’ve been too scared/weirded out to try it, but it’s a fascinating concept. From what I understand, you just video chat with random strangers for as long as you want, and talk to, er, exhibitionists, about every other time. One day, I [...]

today is a google holiday, hooray!

Guys, I’ve had so many thoughts in my head that I’ve wanted to tell you about, but instead of telling them to you, I watch Super Size Me (ten years after the rest of the country) and fall asleep. Sorry about that. The good news is that Google Holidays keep me on track. They taunt me, [...]
