Assuming that I didn’t mess up the queue, I should be leaving America right about now. January 2010 has been one of the most confusing and complicated months of my life. Hopefully, in my year outside of the country things get a little more clear. I’m terribly nervous about this whole thing and feel there is a chance that grad school in Europe wasn’t a great idea after all.
Here’s hoping the plane doesn’t crash.
January 2010
Surprising exactly no one, I totally have been sucked into Skins.

Eventually, no matter how many times I listen to this song…at some point midway through it becomes “The World, Around” and I can’t stop that from happening. I like both versions.
I’m not condoning rape, obviously., You should never rape anyone unless you have a reason like you wanna fuck somebody and they won’t let you. In which case, what other option do you have…how else are you supposed to have an orgasm in their body if you don’t rape them. Like what the fuck?
Ok. That’s fucked up.

Arctic Fox, it’s a Setup! - Mike Birbiglia
In honor of Jenna the arctic fox.
Jenna, are you jealous of kits? Because of their soft fur and how much attention they get?
Oh my god, so perfect! Haha!
Hippos are Marblevores.
Maybe I just don’t like debating with people unless it’s something frivolous. I could never run for office or anything - maybe I’d just like to work as a speechwriter or political strategist, if I had to do something politics related with my life.
I think I’d go with the second option. I’d like to be just as crafty as Karl Rove.
I’m glad I’m not the only Poli Sci major who feels like this. Sometimes I wonder what degree I would have if I never saw an episode of West Wing.
I hate to think what would’ve happened if I found out about House when I was younger.
I’ll Believe in Anything - Wolf Parade
Do you remember when this song was the best thing ever? 2005, man. Before the proliferation of “wolf” bands. Before the proliferation of a lot of wacky music things.
For me, it was (and is) the escalation of this song that really grabs me. And there’s something positive, something anthemic about it.
I LOVE A GOOD INDIE ANTHEM.
It’s still the best thing ever!
This song owned my life freshman year of undergrad.

This is today’s jam, ya nerds.
Today is not that time.
Tomorrow doesn’t look promising.
Can’t. Breathe.
-Mel Gibson: Being racist/anti-Semetic/homophobic; exploiting the cultures that he thinks he’s better than to make money; What Women Want is for you to go away
-Sisqo: The Thong Song
-Nicolas Cage: For not finding another career path; Naming his kid Kal-El; Blaming his assistant for not paying taxes
-Zach Braff: Ruining “indie” music for people
The bolded part is why Nic Cage will never have to apologize to me for anything, ever.
Her reblog is why natface will never have to apologize to me for anything, ever.
The metasciences have their whole album up for free download. If nothing else at least give Four Color Love Story a listen. I’d make out with that song if I wasn’t so shy around intangible things.
The Smiths - Please, please, please let me get what I want
Music for your Monday morning ya hipsters.
I am uncomfortable with the situation. It was very loud. Probably not a good sign.
Does anyone have any recommendations on what’s good as far as international cell phone plans? I’d prefer not to be limited to skype and the like if I can help it. So..any suggestions?
