94.7 just played a blurb about how “it’s so nice that they have integrity.” And immediately played a terrible Nirvana song.
edit: and now a Pearl Jam song. Ugh.
FYI 94.7 IT IS 2009 AND GRUNGE BANDS FROM SEATTLE DO NOT COUNT AS “LOCAL” (for not-radio/Portland/Portland-radio people, 94.7 is the local alternative station but they pretty much only play Nirvana and Pearl Jam, which gets frustrating: “25 years of alternative music.” 25 years of THE SAME ALTERNATIVE MUSIC)
And they keep playing that stupid Smiths song that was the theme song to Charmed. When I’m at work on a Saturday, twice a day without fail, “I am the sun, I am the earth, I AM HUUUUUMAN AND I NEED TO BEEEEE LOOOOOVED.”

Just sitting here in my comfy-but-questionably-flattering jumpsuit digesting some delicious farmer’s market tamales, deciding if I’m going to go back to school next year (you know, whatever), and reblogging things.
I love you all, I really do, at least the ones who I recognize when they come up in my feed.
BUT.
- I do not want to read a status update telling me your ENTIRE SCHEDULE for the day. Yes, it does suck that you have class AND homework AND a job AND that busy sorority life. Maybe it would be less overwhelming if you didn’t update your Facebook literally every ten minutes.
- Please spell the word ‘college’ right. If you use an ‘a’ it’s actually a different word.
- When your status is a “mysterious” tragic-sounding generality, you are not being deep, you are being passive-aggressive and attention-whore-y.
- Stop becoming fans of shit like “The Sunset” or “Laughing.”
- Oh, and you weird girl from my hall last year who became an unironic fan of Glenn Beck. What is that about?
- You should probably un-friend me because I am clearly kind of a judgmental bitch.
I wish there was a :( next to the <3 above a post because I am totally one of these people (only I’m not a fan of anything except Alton Brown). Also all my Tumblr posts feed into Facebook so it looks like I spend a LOT MORE TIME on it than I do. Not that I don’t spend way too much on it though :c
Aw, I didn’t mean you, I swear. I didn’t mean anyone in particular (except the girl who liked Glenn Beck. I don’t even know.). I just get irritated sometimes and then yell about it on the internet.
I love you all, I really do, at least the ones who I recognize when they come up in my feed.

Cake and guns: the theme of my next birthday party.
FALSE. The theme of every decent 21st birthday party is always booze.

An LA Times list complete with cute icons to tell you if a book (for example) has an author as a character, plays with form, or ‘comments on its own bookishness,’ among other delightful postmodern tropes. As for the list itself, Milan Kundera’s The Book of Laughter and Forgetting and Jonathan Lethem’s Motherless Brooklyn would both make for excellent summer reading. (via)
House of Leaves is, almost without fail, my recommendation for anyone looking for a new book to read. I am on my third copy.
And since I only liked, but never reblogged the list…winter reading anyone?
I need a Tumblr book club (tsunamis? bethlehems?) to keep me on track though. Otherwise, I know the distractions of life will creep in…
I am SO IN for the book club. Especially with House of Leaves. I swear to you, you NEED someone to talk about this book with - especially when you get about halfway in. Email chain? Separate tumblr? Whatever’s best, I’m soooo down.
Email works (you can guess mine - take my Tumblr name and add @gmail.com - I use the same address everywhere - Twitter, here, etc.)…a Tumblr with group posting access would work too. Hmmm…maybe Alex, if she joins us (or anyone else who wants to join our book club that needs a snazzy name) can make the decision?
And yeah - I’m all for House of Leaves first. It’s a book I’ve always been meaning to read and just never taken the time to dig into.
This would work. We could use a separate Tumblr or just email each other. I just ordered my copy so I’ll think on this.
I want in on a bookclub!
