NO MAN IS AN ISLAND

THIS IS SUCH A GOOD GOOD SONG


you just can't make it alone.

THE BEST THING

Meet HUGO, Jared's new dog.

He is a six year old (approx, obv) Walker coonhound. He is a real couch potato, like won't get off of the couch for walks or food, just sits around all day looking handsome.

WHAT A GEM.

correctiones

I will actually be getting to SAN FRANCISCO to stay, to live, to make my home on APRIL 11TH.

I am waiting because these dudes are coming to play my town.



CAN YOU BELIEVE IT? NEITHER CAN I!


I am going to get right in front and probably get really emotional because I love Bloomington so much and I love Dinosaur, Jr so much and I will get worked up and cry. Which is not only fine, thankyouverymuch, but what I am hoping for.

ALSO
I get to go with my dad to hang out with his FAVIE CELEB, TERRY GROSS.


LOOK AT ALL THAT FRESH AIR BEHIND HER!

UPTODATES

did you hear? I am back in Bloomington. At least until April 5th when I move to CALIFORNIA.

i got to spend an intimate evening with this freak.

He is very charming and VERY good at puns. But, he's simply not as freaky as I was really hoping for.


But, to fill that FREAK VOID, I got to see AMERICA'S FUNNY MAN, NEIL HAMBURGER!


I actually cracked my lip from my jaw dropping so many times before he had even gotten to the COURTNEY LOVE ENDING MATERIAL. It was like he was doing this FOR ME.


AND THEN i got my MIND BLOWN by SHELLSHAG

If you are one of the lucky ones heading to Austin for indie rock spring break be sure to watch them all three times they are playing.
For the rest of us, let us partake in some cyber approximation. (make sure you watch all the way to the end for the full effect)

THAILIGHTS

let me just say, this is the best lunch in chaing mai. kaw sawy noodles vegetarian. it's next to the arab jeweler with good sapphires that my grandma knows across from the banana roti stand with the pug. tell 'em ajarn Sandy sent you.

AND THEN THE ROOF CAVED IN...

no, literally, the ceiling in my bedroom since birth fell in this morning.



all of my things are under a pile of rubble. there was a chunk of drywall the size of a manhole laying on my bed, exactly where my head would've been had i been sleeping in it.




2009 has been exhausting so far. Who knew that 'when it rains, it pours' extended to structural elements of houses?

A MASCOT FOR 2000FINE

a lil recommendation

FYI:
MAMMA MIA was the best movie of 2008. I don't know why it took me until 2009 to see the most bizarre fantasy musical of recent memory.

Elimidad subplots, MILFs cutting loose, and an homage to the Titanic 'king of the world' scene in a dance squence where Meryl Streep is wearing overalls and then a dress with cuffs more than 10 feet long and the entire old lady population of a Greek resort town backs her up on a dock are just some of the highlights. and abba, obv.



put 'em there, meryl!
