For some reason this didn’t post yesterday – hopefully it will today – but Happy Birthday to my mom!
sometimes I regret this school thing
yeah, that’s right … a FREE Flaming Lips show. When? Oh, only the same night I have to take a midterm exam in Finance. So, instead of listening to Race for the Prize and Do You Realize live I’ll be calculating the Capital Asset Pricing Model and writing a short essay on the cause of the […]
Speak of the devil
So, after I emoted last week about how Sufjan Stevens probably isn’t rolling around in a Bentley like Slim Thug, he actually complained about it (sort of): “I definitely feel like, ‘What is the point? What’s the point of making music anymore?’ I feel that the album no longer has a stronghold or has any […]
buffalo bulls
Anybody ever notice how Buffalo Daughter’s New Rock sounds exactly like Sonic Youth’s Bull in the Heather? Sonic Youth actually sounds more organized and “pop” ish of the two, which sounds really weird to say about Sonic Youth. Surely this can’t be an accident as Buffalo Daughter was highly influenced by Sonic Youth and Bull […]
are you changing your facebook relationship status, or are you just happy to see me?
Commonalities, although not defined as such in Webster’s, are thought to be instances of the simultaneous births of like ideas in multiple minds at once. The light bulb, for example, was invented by two men around the same time, but one guy perfected it and patented it first. One commonality that seems to have started […]
WTF, FTD?
Since when did FTD and 800flowers start charging $25 to ship to Ohio? Guess I won’t be sending flowers to anyone any time soon… going to have to rethink this.
beyond eden
On Friday night and Saturday morning and afternoon I had to participate in a simulation at Pepperdine. The simulation makes groups of students pretend to be Brand Managers for a pharmaceutical company over a ten year period (done in about 13 hours). After the sixth period we were all unexpectedly told to go home because […]
Pachelbel
thanks to Grooveshark I just figured out that one of the classical songs I’ve always liked but never been able to locate is actually Pachelbel’s Canon in D. I think I like chamber music more than I do full orchestration. Which would explain why I liked that Nick Ogawa stuff so much.
sorry dad
This morning the world awoke to the news of Obama’s Prize. A cursory glance on Fox News caused me to write up a long and painful blog (that I decided not to post) about the sorry state of journalism (they’re paying “journalists” not only to undermine Obama, but the prize itself). A quick look at […]
jesus christ!
After work yesterday I went to the gym to work out and read from my textbook for Finance (I do a lot of reading on the elliptical machine, being able to read while running without getting sick and being immune to poison ivy seem to be the trade-off for my allergies/eczema/asthma). On the way there, […]
