Rockwell - Somebody's Watching Me →
I’m just an average man/with an average life/i work from 9-5 (yeah i pay the price)/all i want is to be left alone/in my average home/so why does it always feel like i’m in the twilight zone!?
I wonder who’s watching me….the IRS!?
and we'll all float on..
That’s because they have. I saw Built To Spill, their long lost cousins and it was a bro-fest, nowhere near the sensitive indie rock dudes that loved them when I started college.

I feel like Modest Mouse has become the new Dave Matthews Band as far as bro-tastic music goes.
I made a mixtape. →
Having your own website is fun, because then you can cool things like install Opentape and make a fake muxtape. I like it better than muxtape because I was able to send my songs via FTP and it was way faster than the web based thing muxtape had.
This little guy is called songs for hipsters to make love to, and the point is that it starts out kind of loud and happy, with songs about having a crush...

WatchI just stayed up watching this. I am a bit of cult aficionado, I love to study them, and Jonestown is fascinating. I researched them extensively for a paper I did in college and there is a lot of shadiness, namely the cult’s connections to the USSR and local SF government. One of the things I wish the film had told us is how the survivors, the men who describe watching the mass suicide...
Ohh pocketnovel. I’m not going to touch on the rest of her post because who are we to say what the relationship between her and the mystery dude is, but I am utterly floored by the below comments. Is this for real? Is this really what she thought? She really thought we wouldn’t figure out where the stop was? I haven’t lived in NYC in years, I bet I could’ve told you where...
Dysthymia
Like Sarah Katherine Lewis says, you can try to outrun it, but it’ll always catch up with you. It’s always there, it’s always watching, always waiting to strike.
Another reason not to blog about your sex life. →
Too good not to re-blog, apparently some girls will never, ever learn.

You can’t keep from outing your anonymous Tumblr boyfriend as the slightly misogynist PWK, right?
He argues that people on Tumblr have been giving him crap about everything and anything lately (which, to be fair, is true) and he doesn’t want to give them any more ammunition, basically.
He lives in Astoria,...

Everything about this quote is amazing.
on the need to nurture
So, I’m 26, almost 27 (in two months - get ready for an amazing party. It will blow your mind.), and all that shit people told me in my early 20s about how I would suddenly feel a biological urge to have kids after I turn 25? It is true. I can feel it.
Obviously, I ain’t got no man to have kids with and I also am in no place to take care of a kid, so having an actual child is not in...
plan b.
if my panel doesn’t make it on to the schedule, i will be sitting on mat honan’s panel, detailed below. i just invited myself to it.

Please vote for my SxSW panel on how to not go to SxSW yet again. It will be held off-site in San Francisco and require jaded drunkenness.

Okay tumblrs, SXSW voting ends on Friday afternoon, so if you love me, please go vote for my panel, focusing on the teen grrrl bloggers of the late 90s.
Thank you.
a little warning, tumblr!?
I yelled “WHAT THE FUCK!” to my screen when I re-loaded my dashboard and was confronted with this new version.
I am very sensitive!
barack has the tightest game of all.
hope he is getting seriously laid after this email, which they sent this morning.

Taking in your own coffee to the gourmet grocery store and putting it through their grinder because you are too broke to go back to a 2 dollar a day coffee habit and you’ve already bought all this unground coffee and don’t want to buy your own grinder is a weird juxtaposition of the two intersections of my life: the perpetually broke writer meets the fancy pants girl who buys UNGROUND...
“I just want to write and get paid for it. That’s it. I want to be happy...”

Please add comments or something to your blog, frontierindex! So I don’t feel so creepy re-blogging you so much. Also, I need someone to discuss R. Kelly with. This is genius. Thank you.
the polls are closed.
but thank you!

food stuff you can skip over
i usually eat my yogurt out of the container, because i only buy the full fat kind and i can only handle a little bit of it at a time. today, i put it into a cup. it smells really bad this way, really sour; reminding me that what i am eating is creamy mold. i don’t like that, yogurt. you’re not the boss of me.
also, i finally bought darker coffee beans because i’d been drinking...

BitchBuzz Tech: How to Survive A 2.0 Breakup →
So, I wrote this for bitchbuzz and it got posted today and I wanted to add something to it because I know some of my friends might read the second tip “Do not e-stalk” and think I am lying. I have a reputation for having really good Google prowess and being able to dig up all kinds of shit and keeping tabs on just about everyone (which coupled with my pretty decent memory makes me a...
I have been loving this place lately. Tumblr is the new Livejournal, except with funny and clever things like this:

or, sad and pathetic.

Bad. Ass. A month ago I saw two movies back to back by myself. I only paid for one, of course. It was a great way to spend a rainy day.
If you don’t like spending time with yourself - movies, dinner, anything - why should anybody else?
Seriously! I haven’t gone to a movie by myself in...
What a stressful day on the Internet. Pandora may be going away forever, muxtape is gone for the time being, and all hell broke loose with the Melissa/Nick Douglas thing (and I am on mgg’s side; I’ve had to deal with too many thoughtless guys to not be on it.)
Also, I’m sick of hearing the term “overshare”. There are so many web sites when all you can read about...
I am copying someone else on my tumblr list, but I can not sleep and I am super awake. Anyone want to talk?

Love's Not The Way To Treat A Friend
I wouldn’t wish that on you. I don’t
want to see your eyes forgotten
on a rainy day, lost in the endless purse of those who can remember nothing.
Love's not the way to treat a friend. I don't want to see you end up that way with your body being poured like wounded marble into the architecture of those who make bridges out of crippled birds. ...

There are some people that are so obviously out of their leagues that I wonder what fucking planet they live on. I would never, in a million years, consider getting naked with you, and it sort of offends me that you think you could land me.
That’s a maybe, right?
I get this a lot.
When this happens to me, I start to worry that maybe I am not in the...
