Last season, Roger on LSD. This season, Don on speed. Next season, Bobby the crack whore.

“I did an Internet search for quotes about life, and what it’s like, and I found life is indeed like a box of sardines (according to Alan Bennett), but it’s also apparently like: chocolates (Forrest Gump), artichokes (Thomas Aloysius Dorgan), pasta (Fellini), pudding (W.S. Gilbert), soup (Flaubert), an onion (Carl Sandburg), and a bowl of cherries (Erma Bombeck). There is a pattern here.”

Re: Playlists

I’ve researched this thoroughly, and if your playlist doesn’t have at least one Paul Simon song, I’m probably not interested. At the very least, I will start to really mistrust your decision making skills, because why wouldn’t you?

Maylist Playlist

Wed, 08 May 2013 00:02:29 -0400

Maylist Playlist:

A playlist for any of the following:

sloppy puns and rhymes and language fun
iced lattes
truffle grilled cheese with brie and asparagus (I know)
bike rides over bridges, up and down avenues, and hell, anywhere else
moving in with a boy and (you hope) never moving out
red toenails
using more semicolons
mild soul searching (nothing serious though - 10 minutes a day MAXIMUM)

But those are just suggestions; it’s for anything you want it to be for, really.

Sometimes

Mon, 06 May 2013 22:43:49 -0400

- certainly not every time - but sometimes, when you’re fighting that particular migraine you get when you’ve been doggedly searching craigslist all day for apartments in between bursts of productivity at work, and keep seeing the same 3 listings dispersed over 50+ ads, only the address keeps mysteriously changing in every ad, and when you call the realtor on your lunch break to get your bearings re: where this apartment actually is, he informs you that he doesn’t even have any listings in that neighborhood, just off the Dekalb L (you know, that migraine), it might behoove you to just remove all the filters excepting desired neighborhood and just look for a while and pretend.

Because if pretending I’ve just signed on the West Village apartment with bay windows and a balcony and that everything will be fine is wrong, I don’t want to be right.

Wye Oak | Strangers (The Kinks cover)

This cover is perfect because if my taste in music was a physical thing that you could cut open, the main two things inside would be anything reminiscent of a traditional folk ballad (like this one, or this one), and bluesy Brit rock.

It is also perfect because it makes me believe in things I’m too much of a realist to believe in (like perfection, for one), and for at least 4 minutes and 20 seconds I get that same feeling you get when the person you secretly love says your name out loud.
