Why didn’t anyone tell me that stupid McCain video messed up my Tumblr layout? Oh, that’s right, none of you actually watch the videos I post for you, not even when I SIGNED UP FOR MCCAIN SPACE to do it. Also, my profile on their site still has not been approved.
They did email me asking me to phone bank for them. No, thanks, John.
WatchI’m writing a piece comparing McCainSpace to Obama’s volunteer dashboard. Check out the first video, right after McCain’s intro — this kid supports McCain because he “doesn’t think a terrorist would”. Also, he says “nu-cul-ar” instead of nuclear. I wonder how popular this kid is.
Aaaand, check out the brief video of the two dudes from SF who...

Its so hot up in here, I feel like I’m melting. Close to home though. So very close.
Little boxes made of ticky tacky and they all look just the same…
Reno remnants.
The bedding on my bed at home is black and white, so whenever I go to hotels, it freaks me out a bit to wake up and see all white bedding. It’s so bright.
I love staying in hotel rooms by myself, it makes me feel so grown up. Also, I love spreading out my toiletries and my clothes and having no one care.

I would like to go back on another weekend, so if anyone reading this wants to come with me sometime in October and possibly split a hotel room, holla at me! (dancethis@gmail.com)
Please be aware that as you probably noticed, I like to party. I also like tacky crap, so whining about how horrible Reno or Vegas is...

This sounds completely awesome. Bands need to get OFF of butt-ugly and awkward MySpace and onto something built just for them. I really am looking forward to finding out about music through...

Dear Pandora,
Yes. Except I do want to listen to Usher. And then Gogol Bordello. And then more Mariah!

Why don’t you have the ability to take 2 completely different artist and create an amazing radiostation for me? i’d really like a cross between mariah carey and gogol bordello. how hard is that? I don’t want to listen to usher. I want to listen to mariah carey, and then maybe...

thank heavens for the wayback machine. taking it waaay back. look how simple it was.
Hey, former emo kids!
I had a job in the computer lab in college and I spent hours poring over attractive dudes on MakeOutClub. I even wrote a social psychology paper on it!! Ah, the myspace of our time…

How many people on Tumblr were once on Make Out Club? Do you remember when Friendster was the new Make Out Club? (This was before MySpace was the new Friendster, making Friendster the new Make Out...

i have a question.
Google Reader is constantly suggesting these lame sex blogs to me, probably because I subscribe to Belle Du Jour, Boinkology, Daily Bedpost, RKB’s blog, etc.
These anonymous sex blogs are almost all pretty bad. But my question is…why are they all on Blogspot?
I have and I am okay with it. You know, speaking as someone who’s family hasn’t documented much and who communicate in a bizarre series of secrets and half truths. Bring it on.

WHY are the nonsociety “lifecasts” still sideways?
I’m glad that I have bitchier people on my dashboard to call them out, though. Because I can not deal with this sideways shit and I refuse to follow them. So, thank you for those of you that can deal with it and reblog them.

everything has been a weird, extended, dark, protracted struggle. i think this is because september sucks. october & november always end up being better months*.

5 books you should read
that i own, from my pathetic “honesty day” with my books, where i ended up keeping about 70% of my library. i can’t let get of these guys. some highlights:

my ipod headphones are broken.
This is a tragedy of epic proportions. And I know I bought two cheap-o pairs because I knew this would happen, but I’m pretty sure I let my housemate “borrow” them and now I don’t know where they are. The thought of having to get through the day without music while I go to the Mission and go on my usual walk is really scary.
I bought them at the Virgin Megastore with...

brother's AIM status update
My brother never answers my IMs, but he is on AIM all the time. I know he is on because his status changes constantly. Tonight’s is: ALLERGIC TO SKANKS.
After looking through his myspace list, I don’t know if I would say he is “allergic” to them.
