How Not To Write About Female Musicians: A Handy... →
Maura/Sound of the City have been A+ all week, with good stuff that makes me think-y, and good stuff that makes me angry (see: link above). Can Lana Del Ray just fizzle out, already, please? I would like to go home to NJ this weekend and burn my parents’ copy of T Magazine in some kind of ill-advised protest.

A bit worried that this is going to be one in a series.
Fun Fact
I thought it was some kind of slang for an a drunk/messed-up person?

So the B-52s didn’t intend for “Tin Roof Rusted” to really mean anything when they wrote the song.
But it took on a life of its own and became slang for pregnant. So even though that’s not the original meaning in the song, it’s kind of common law what it means now.
So basically Blaine says...

oh, glee
You are infuriating, and yet: “Loveshack!” An incredibly corny, ridiculous, “You’re the Top!”
/sidenote: I should investigate the B-52s, right? I might have some fun with that.

I mean, he probably would have tried to save Latin, had it been discontinued, since the big dork stuck with it long enough to win some awards!
(I took 5 years of Latin, and I could *not* believe that anyone would actually want to take the national tests.)

I wonder if Baby Blaine will be wearing a bow tie.

I wonder if baby Blaine will have his curls running free, or if he started with gel at an early age.

yay, Giants!
- I still don’t know about that Bradshaw TD. That was just weird.
- Eli’s daughter is adorable and looks like a less cute version of my little cousin.
- Would have liked to see Nicks as MVP, but so it goes.
- Props to the camera folks for not cutting to the Mannings and Gisele 20 times. Restraint!
- They keep reporting how more women are watching the NFL, and yet the commercials...
The brotherhood of NBC
Cute ad, especially the Fallon part at the end. Baldwin would make a great JB Biggby.

This episode of “Portlandia,” in which Carrie is supposed to be watching “The Cabinet of Dr. Caligari,” but is distracted by other shit, especially reality TV, is very GPOY.

hell or glory - I don't want anything in between
-I just might like Glee’s version of “Smooth Criminal” better than the original.
-1-week temp assignments blow. No time to really establish yourself. No time to get to know people.
-Unemployment has really screwed with my sense of time. The days all piled into each other, with nothing in between.
-Stayed too long with the parents again; now, that sense of melancholy.

“EXPLO is ineffable… Not only did I discover more of myself at EXPLO, but I also...”

gosh
I was supposed to be online for 10 minutes, to check the train schedules for tomorrow and to send my timesheet in. Instead, I wound up listening to showtunes and goofing off for an hour. I have no defense, your honor. Today was a good day.

you know what's a shame?
There’s no Dockery/Stevens duet of “If You Were the Only Girl.” I have to make due with this Doris Day version.
