new haircut, Alejandro by Ace of Base?

Published: 7 April 2010
I got a haircut today: Nothing fancy, I just got the ends trimmed, some layers cut in, bulk razored out of the back, and it’s angled slightly toward my face in the front. The stylist was friendly and gave me a 20% student discount which they apparently have every Monday-Thursday. Despite going to this [...]

House of Leaves

Published: 6 February 2010
I bought a new book last night: House of Leaves by Mark Z. Danielewski. And by “new”, I mean new to me, not new as in it just came out. It apparently was published in 2000 but I just now heard about it (on Reddit, actually) and got intrigued so I bought [...]

news flash: music on the radio sucks

Published: 22 September 2009
This may be a sign of my impending fogeyness, but several popular songs right now annoy me greatly. Mind, this is so often the case with rap music that I don’t even include it in “music on the radio that I might enjoy” (see A Short History of African American Music—thank you, Lil Wayne [...]

Boyz II Men and an interview

Published: 14 October 2008
Jessica mentioned Boyz II Men earlier and I was reminded of how I used to listen to their music back in elementary school whenever I stayed the night at a particular friend’s house. Actually, that friend was named Jessica, but not the same Jessica as my current Jessica. Though they’re each blonde, hm. [...]

I just had to call Todd and tell him that I spent some of his money accidentally. Jessica and I have been singing the song “Hot Rod Lincoln” all day, so I went on Amazon to buy the MP3. I didn’t notice that I was logged in as Todd, who must have used [...]

new Portishead album

Published: 13 June 2008
Holycrapholycrapholycrap! Portishead, one of my all-time favorite bands, has not released an album for eleven years. When I first stumbled across them back in high school, I bought all their albums, I bought their t-shirt, and I thought for sure I’d never see anything else from them. The lead singer, Beth Gibbons, [...]

free music and a turtle

Published: 5 May 2008
Brent informed me at lunch today that Nine Inch Nails is giving away a new album entirely free (and legal) on their web site; it’s called The Slip. I’m about to download it now, and am so excited because I loved Year Zero. I thought it was a much better album than With [...]

American Idol

Published: 13 March 2008
I’m back from D.C. and had a great time, and I’ll have a big post about it once I get the energy worked up. That’s one thing about traveling: it leaves me dead tired. I slept 11.5 hours last night and still woke up tired. I’m doing much better now, though, [...]
