  • 08:39 @nicolebrett Not sure I want to see. I prefer to remember him as the baby-faced badass patriot who brought us such anthems as "America AO." #

  • 16:40 Can't help myself from saying this: I have absolutely NO desire to see "Precious." Oprah and Tyler Perry's stamp makes me run the other way. #
  • 20:32 In Connecticut, drinking rum and coke out of a supersized Wendy's cup. The weekend of class continues. #
  • 20:50 @cpdavey That's right, you're a product of the Nutmeg State, too. Or is it the Constitution State now. I can't keep up. #
  • 00:37 Watching Metal Mania on VH1 Classics. Sorry but under no definition of the word does White Lion's "When The Children Cry" qualify as metal. #
  • 01:47 @nicolebrett Funny how that happens, isn't it? The booze has a way of sneaking up on you. Hope you're making the most of it :) #

  • 12:36 Listening to Balmorhea's "All Is Wild, All Is Silent." I've probably heard two new albums all year, but this is album of the year for me. #
  • 13:25 I wonder how long before the Wikification of our lives becomes possible. Don't like yesterday's life edits? Revert to the previous day. #
  • 14:07 "Well, unlike Michael Cera, I am not a monster." RT @hodgman Speaking of gas buggies, THE HODGMANMOBILE: tr.im/EmbJ #
  • 14:46 My new follower, @lizarddawg, appears to be waging two concurrent wars: one against Liberalism and one against spelling and grammar. #
  • 18:32 Congrats @lizarddawg, you've joined @glennbeck on my douchebags list. #
  • 22:12 I've been listening to this album a lot today. I really like her voice, plus she's Canadian and adorable, eh. ♫ blip.fm/~fziuy #
  • 22:43 At home enjoying a flat, flavorless Manhattan and eating Godiva truffles, wearing my finest sweatpants. #
  • 22:52 @SamTheButcher On my way home from work I stopped and picked up the truffles, bitters, and a bottle of vermouth. Already had sweats. Classy. #
  • 23:15 @SamTheButcher Wow. That sounds like me, only I'd like to think I'm slightly higher class (vermouth instead of beer, albeit cheap vermouth). #

  • 12:14 I will never understand why in this country a civil rights issue is continually left to the will of the majority. #FuckYouMaine #
  • 12:25 @etaktac That Brattle deal is insane. Now you can catch a movie when you get off from your new job (while enjoying fancy chocolates). #
  • 13:02 @etaktac Yes. In fact, I already did :) According to Groupon they've sold 1,097 memberships so far. That's amazing. Too good to pass up. #
  • 13:07 If you want the $30 Brattle membership from Groupon, better act now. They've already sold 1106, only 144 remaining: bit.ly/4bJEXu #

10:50 pm - Depeche Mode: The Unauthorized Biography
Depeche Mode is a band. They have been together for many years. Since at least 1927. They started out as a quartet devoted primarily to minstrelsy, occasionally venturing into the realms of blues and barbershop, before eventually settling on bubblegum pop created with the aid of synthesizers and magic star dust. Their hit songs include: Boys Say Go, Never Let Me Down Again, Enjoy The Silence, Black Celebration, You Spin Me Round (Like A Record), Ice Machine, Take On Me, and Afternoon Delight. They were one of the first bands signed to then-fledgling indie label Mute Records, personally recruited by label founder Daniel Miller alongside such esoteric artists as Fad Gadget, Marky Mark & His Funky Bunch, The Normal, and Rupert Holmes.

David Gahan, lead vocalist, is a charismatic performer who has had hair of multiple lengths and has died of a heroin overdose on numerous occasions before being injected with magical resuscitation serum by primary songwriter and backup vocalist, Martin Gore. Martin "Jaws-of-Life" Gore is known for his puffy blonde hair, excessive application of make-up, and penchant for ill-advised bondage gear. Scienticians agree that he's as cute as a button. Other members also exist.

The band's most recent album is titled "Sounds Of The Universe," which abandons their heretofore largely pop sensibilities for a cutting edge ethnographic exploration of intergalactic star sounds. It is their ambitious effort to reproduce and preserve every sound in the known universe, and is a volume spanning many millions of CDs. It is thus regarded as a prohibitively expensive collector's item, released in an edition of exactly one, signed by the band, with accompanying t-shirt and pin. Last known location of the band: somewhere in the region of the Orion Nebula, en route to play distant galaxies on their aptly named "Tour of the Universe." Tickets for their first date at Club Beeblebrox in the Galaxy of Andromeda go on sale in precisely 2,500,000 light-years.

The End.

current mood: cheeky.
current music: wokka wokka wokka.

  • 18:43 So the NLCS is off to a rip-roaringly good start. Plus I get to listen to Vin Scully calling the game, which is never a bad thing to do. #
