why i am not afraid to take your money, by amanda... →
Whether or not you are a fan of, or are even aware of the existence of, Amanda Palmer/The Dresden Dolls, I think this latest blog post she wrote is a really fascinating look at the current state of the music industry and what we might come to expect from its future. Or at least I hope. Because I really love being an Amanda Palmer fan and I would love to see other musicians embrace their fans to...

I think it’s safe to say I just came up with a new short-term goal that may or may not get me in some serious trouble.

Life, and Death, can be incredibly unfair
After spending the entire day oscillating between crying and being numb, it amazes me that there can be any tears left after a certain amount of time. I imagine there are few things as heartbreaking as having to bury such an incredibly gifted, generous and bubbly 22 year old woman on the eve of her birthday from something so unexpected and ultimately preventable as the fucking flu.
I certainly...

So I didn't watch the Emmy's
and don’t really care. But I saw some clips of Neil Patrick Harris, and he’s pretty amazing. ALSO, in terms of results I’m super stoked that Toni Collette won for lead actress in The United States of Tara and Kristin Chenoweth won for supporting actress in Pushing Daisies.
Other than those I didn’t really care who won or lost. So that’s cool.

Why the hell did I put off watching How I Met Your...
I decided to start at the beginning and Jeezus is this show fantastic! I find it really incredible how a show with such an overdone and cliche premise can have such brilliant writing and remain hilarious for so long. It’s not often that I literally laugh out loud at shows, even shows I find really funny, but it seems to happen quite often with this show. I’m still kind of shocked at...

and I will admit that I’ve always been one who actually enjoyed school. Not the homework or the tests, but I really get a lot of satisfaction out of learning new and interesting things and enjoyed going to my classes, for the most part. That being said, since I’m out of school and kind of missing that atmosphere, anyone have any suggestions for good lectures/classes I might be able...

Fran Drescher in Talks with Fox News →
Ready your mute button: Washington Whispers is reporting that Fran Drscher, the former star of The Nanny, is in negotiations with Fox News for a talk show. Figures that the conservative network, when searching for a liberal—Drescher is a Democrat—would choose one who is nearly impossible to listen to. Drescher has served in the State Department as a public diplomacy envoy, and is also in talks...
