Never Drink Hot Water From the Tap →
eek. this is gross.
ugh. morning after.
ceo did not come. thank goodness. i drank too much and spilled on myself in the rush of a flip-cup tourney. i ate half a slice of pizza and a disgusting hot dog. i almost did something very dumb. all cos i was drunk. i woke up on my couch only cos my friend was calling to drop off more stuff in my room at 715a. surprisingly, i made it out of my garage by 810a and drove to the office in silence,...
ugh
i have to go host a party right now. and i’m totally not in the mood. i’m only feeling like a party pooper cos of a couple of boys. which is dumb. cos if i’m sour over two different boys, is there even a real reason to be sour? yes. i’m a silly girl and its just how i feel. i don’t like getting upset over a boy. i don’t like anyone to have that power over me. ...

stream of the new HOT CHIP album →
i like wrestlers a lot. surprisingly, i think this album makes for really good office listening. this stream will hold me over til i can make a legit purchase next week.
Covering The Coverage: Maybe Latinos Don't Hate... →
nice breakdown of the whole (dare i say ridiculous) discussion going on about how brown folks won’t vote for black folks. for people under the age of say, 60, i think this argument is false. of course, that’s just my dinky opinion, but hey - i do live (part time) in one of the latino capitals of the u.s. plus i think this site, guanabee.com, is under-rated. (even by me.) its like...

Austinist: SXSW News & Rumor Updates: Willie, Van,... →
*wheeeeee!* i so hope to see 5% of these bands during sxsw. 10% would be awesome and 25% would be impossible. we’ll see how my vague non-plan turns out… also i’m really looking forward to the nerdy conference at the start of the week. sxsw interactive. oooh. oooooh. ooooooooh.

ESPN.com - E-Ticket: All Too Perfect →
it’s practically heresy to propose a patriots loss in these parts. but klosterman does raise interesting points. interestingggg. and marketable? also. i kinda just like to cheer for underdog. which definitely equals baby manning.

me: haha. dear god i hope not

me: i'd prefer them to think i'm an asexual celibate
“The experts caution that for maximum stimulus effect, we must be sure to spend...”
– Hair of the Dog - TIME as i already discussed with lots of ppl… not sure if this ‘stimulus’ will work. i plan on using the $ to pay off some debt. but as i told my mom, dumb ppl will go shopping even if they’re in debt… so we’re depending on those dummies to save...
slow night
finally hit the beehive last night. um. its a cool space. i definitely dig the live jazz thing. only. hmm. the line outside makes it ridiculous. waiting that long to hang out sipping just-okay beer or pricey cocktails while surveying the mixed crowd of ‘real adults’, drunk yuppies, and lounging hipsters… doesnt make sense. maybe i’m missing something. or maybe thats just...
the end of the j.may blog? →
i dont remember how this came up in convo last night, but my friend mentioned that john mayer’s blog was shut down. :( and so it is. something to do w/ the jessica simpson defense… sucks. he cracked me up. i used to
