you boys get ready.
i’ve made no bones about 2011 being pretty sucky for me. and i must mean it, because i rarely use the word “sucky.” well, it wasn’t the worst time in my life (what’s up, august 2004 - june 2008?) but i did catch a case of that depression the kids always talk about. that is a strong li’l illness - i’m still fighting it.
anyhoo, i learned a lot about...

jsmooth995:
I love this Merrill Garbus video where she’s sharing some of her favorite Youtube clips from 2011, and I love it even more for the onslaught of thumbs down votes and “WTF who is this weird lady” comments it drew out of the Youtube denizens.
the more i see of cap’n tune-yards, the more i love. she’s pretty rad.

found between the pages of my joke notebook.
my notes on the last day of the pitchfork festival:
* black tights under a romper in 90° plus weather! your commitment to sparkle motion is admirable. but ladies in full makeup - you do know we’re outside in this heat, right? okay. so quit frowning and checking your face.
* yuck sounds so much like 1995 i think their set took 10 years off of my life.
* how to dress well - a brooklyn...
this year at christmas...
* i discovered that my mother’s favorite curse word was “shit.” she said this a lot…well, until i used it correctly as a one year old.
* my sister gave me some mac eyeshadow (“it’s called amber lights and it looks good on everyone. everyone loves amber lights…”) and a grindhouse burger gift card.
* my parents gave me a sensible sweater and...
i’m off from work. i’ve done all of the holiday shopping that i’m going to do. i only have one appointment today. my brain hurts from overthinking and weighing pros & cons. i have a little bit of money burning a hole in my pocket but i don’t have the desire to buy goofy shit. i’m hungry. traces of sadness are still being felt. my horoscope thinks i should lighten...

obligatory favorite music of 2011 list.
no need for a preamble, right? let’s just do it. (no particular order, by the way.)
ALBUMS:
tUnE-yArDs w h o k i l l - out of respect for how amazing this record is, i typed it out correctly based on merrill garbus’ vision. and her vision is massive: afropop, jazz, hip hop, weirdogaze, ukulelecore, exuberence-pop. true story: the very first time i listened to bizness, when the...
oh man.
i’ve never really tried to used the search function on tumblr. it is TERRIBLE, huh?

wooking pa nub.
I am seeking a nerdy woman with low self esteem who wears glasses, has a great body and great sexual appetite but considers herself unattractive or told that you were unattractive. This is a fetish of mine and I want to live it out…
okay, i think we can let that whole “nerd” thing go now.
(also, i pretty much meet this dude’s criteria - except for considering myself a...

Everyone is excited for Lena Dunham’s new HBO show GIRLS. I’m sure it will be lovely. I’m also sure I won’t be watching it, as I am straight up sick of shows with all-white casts, particularly all-white girls, telling me their all-white problems like everyone can relate. If judging…
last night i saw shame, a movie by british director steve mcqueen. i ended up talking about...

a maxi pad walks into a bar...
i said an untested joke¹ about tampons² during a show last night and it was well received. after the week i’ve had, i’ll gladly take it.
1 - i don’t normally like doing untested material when i’m on a booked show; i prefer to have driven it around an open mic or two. i see comics think of something in the green room and immediately say it on stage. i’m envious of...

how about i TOTALLY FORGOT that the love interest in case’s “happily ever after” video was beyonce?!? look at her - if my math is correct, she was 18 in this video. can you imagine that happening now? or hell, five years ago? d’ya think she answers case’s phone calls today?
i swear to god, VH1 Soul will be the end of me. and by that, i mean when the EMTs break...

occasionally, i find that i’ve let somebody in my life and i can’t for the life of me figure out why. it could be someone i actually know (and in some cases, i know well) or it could be an acquaintance or it could be one of those internet-only relationships where we only speak through email or twitter or livejournal comments. whatever the circumstance, they’re in my life and as...

you know, i kind of wish somebody had stood up on that plane and said to him,”hey. you’re not jack donaghy. right now, you’re not even alec baldwin. you’re that asshole who’s holding up this flight so you can PLAY A FUCKING WORD GAME ON YOUR POCKET COMPUTER. this is how the real world works - they tell us to turn off our stuff and for the most part we do, the plane...

there’s nothing i love more than watching rap dudes FEELIN’ IT in the studio, and that love stems from this clip.

and he's supposed to be the manager...
my make-a-wish request would be to perform 1:56 - 4:18 of this song with posdnuos in front of my family & friends.
runner-up request would be to do the dance from 0:16 - 1:03 of this video.

is for Quentin Tarantino to realize he’s not African American and stop writing us into his movies as if he is.
