What am I doing today that is vaguely ironic? Answer! I am listening to "The Crow" Soundtrack, because freshman year of high school was just THAT MUCH FUN.

To commemorate it being Friday and all, I made a mixtape of six and one dozen half of my favorite songs, mostly of the indie rock genre. Yeah, some of them are on the smarmy side, but I stand by my choices.


I don't really have a good picture for this, so here's another baby porcupine.

Here is where you download them.

1. Robyn Hitchcock - Madonna of the Wasps
2. Spoon - The Way We Get By
3. Midlake - Roscoe
4. Crooked Fingers - You Can Never Leave
5. R.E.M. - Begin the Begin
6. Wolf Parade - Dear Sons and Daughters of Hungry Ghosts
7. Beck - Earthquake Weather
8. David Bowie - Ashes to Ashes
9. Luna - Astronaut
10. The Decemberists - Sixteen Military Wives
11. Pinback - Fortress
12. Brian Eno - St. Elmo's Fire
13. Talking Heads - Lifetime Piling Up
14. Mew - The Zookeeper's Boy
15. Neutral Milk Hotel - King of Carrot Flowers 2

Glasses Update! I got some new ones. Same ol' face, though:



My coworker said they make me look very "Mad Men", but I don't know. Man. Speaking of which, did anyone catch last week's episode? That part at the end where Don grabbed that woman's hair and says something like "i will ruin him" was straight-up HOT. Well, I seem to have gone on a television/sex tangent. Notice my new glasses, won't you?

All is not right in the land of the Rock-A-Fire Explosion:



"Wait. Wait for the chorus."
"There's a chorus in this song?"

Today I have decided to take my all-caps rage out on: Netflix.

HOW THE HELL IS YOUR DELIVERY SYSTEM "DOWN"? YOU HAVE ONE SYSTEM, IT IS THAT OF DELIVERY. WHEN IT GOES DOWN, YOUR ENTIRE OPERATION GOES DOWN. ARE YOU TRYING TO TELL ME YOU'VE LOST CONTROL OF YOUR ENTIRE OPERATION? BECAUSE THAT WOULD BE PRETTY IDIOTIC, NETFLIX.

(I don't have cable, so I pretty much depend on Netflix for entertainment purposes.)

I have started a new blog (in addition to this one, obvs.), it's called "Bono Photoshopped into Various Things":

"Upon further research, I learned that the "Barbie and the Rockers" tape I thought I used to have was in fact a "Barbie and the Sensations" tape."
"Wow, barbie had two bands?"
"Yeah, barbie and the sensations was later. Barbie's kind of like the Robert Pollard of the plastic doll world."

I was watching season one of Desperate Housewives (via netflix) when my mom called.

"Oh, I've never watched that show. Except I'll catch an episode here and there. Part of an episode, you know."
"I haven't either, I'm just now watching the first season. To catch up."
"I saw some of it the other day and the redhead was doing something nutty. What was that about?"
"I really don't know."



Although I like to think it was this:



Best moment in television history? Quite. Possibly.

Toothpaste for Dinner just crawled right into my head today:

Is anyone else watching Project Runway this season? I know it's suffering from an extreme lack of promotion on the part of Bravo, and also suffering from half the designers being parodies of themselves, but I'll pretty much watch that show in any incarnation. Who do we like? Who do we not like? I needs to chat about this! In other news, the myheritage facial recognition software is telling me that I look like adam ant.

Here is a picture of a baby porcupine contemplating a situation:
