You know what really grinds my gears? When the Brooklyn Vegan hypes the show I’ve been looking forward to all summer, because this vastly increases the chance of its selling out. Happiness is seeing Boat live at CakeShop with less than ten other people.

Full disclosure: I’ve probably set up 40 or 50 e-mails accounts in my lifetime, between various jobs, schools, and excite/gmail/myway accounts whose passwords I kept forgetting.

Once again, Anonymous brings the logix:
it’s all psychological. if anyone is willing to make the change from PC to Mac it’s like starting off on a clean slate. so many Mac owners probably see it as an atonement for their illegally downloading sins, and want to keep their computers clean with legal downloads. it’s easier [...]

Seattle Weekly has one, too.
I’ll go ahead and ask the internet for any suggestions on who to see/skip (gladly taken in the comments or email). Too bad Wu Tang and Ted Leo couldn’t take [...]

When a self becomes lost in possibility…it is not merely because of a lack of energy…. What is missing is essentially the power to obey, to submit to the necessity in one’s life, to what may be called one’s limitations. Therefore, the tragedy is not that such a [...]
