“Wild Turkey opened with familiar crowd pleaser “Wow, That Shit Is Harsh,” before segueing into the usual set list of “Woo Hoo!,” “Damn, I Am Duh-Runk,” “I Love You, Man,” and “Woo Hoo, Motherfuckers!” Unfortunately, the band chose this time to bring out some new material, and the crowd’s disappointment was difficult to conceal.”

I am convinced my iPod is sort of sentient or the musical algorithms that Apple is using for ‘random’ is not as random as you’d think.

how else can my iPod read my mind some days? It’s insane.

I see kids in libraries in their teens, happily posting on Beebo or Facebook or whatever catches their fancy. And all I can think is kid you know that’s forever right? Please please please don’t use your real name.

If I were at all academically minded (totally not) I would do some kind of thesis on the concept of privacy with 13-18 year olds. It fascinates me that they seemingly overwhelmingly are aware but just don’t care that much.

Whereas you’ll have to pry my Moleskine from my cold dead hands.

In all seriousity, is there a worse holiday than Valentine’s Day… I was trying to book a hotel room for a client who’s coming to town tonight, and every single hotel room in town is totally booked up. How gross is that. I would hate to work in guest services on February 15th, that’s all I can say about that.
