To save you time, and to waste more of mine online, I have now out-nerded myself. I now have a fully operational life stream, tumbleblog, and procrastination machine.
Phrase of the Day: Nuke the Fridge
Nuke the Fridge
Sample usage: "Man, when Peter Parker started doing the emo dance in Spider-Man 3, that franchise officially nuked the fridge."
Everyone start using it so it'll become even more annoying and we can go back to using Jump the Shark, like the good ol' days

Girl Talk
Monday, June 23
Girl Talk is on top of his mashup game... mashing up Radiohead, Sinead O'Connor, the Police and the like (I can't list the rappers because I can't keep 'em separate these days). The new album, Feed the Animals, has leaked onto the interwebs, and you can stream it legally on Myspace. Read the Pitchfork interview for details.
Le Sigh
So, I didn't get the internship I interviewed for last week (again). I always get my hopes up because it always seems so... close, like it's in my hands but then it slips away. This quote made me feel better temporarily, George Carlin on too many colored ribbons: "Red for AIDS, pink for breast cancer. I've got a brown one. It stands for eat shit motherfucker!"
RIP, George Carlin

Quote of the Day: Teddy Roosevelt Edition
Thursday, June 12
Do what you can, where you are, with what you have, for as long as possible.Teddy Roosevelt (see right) said that. Although he was a racist (see right), he was fine orator. He also preferred to be called "The Colonel" after retiring from his position in the First U.S. Volunteer Cavalry Regiment. Later, as president, he asked Congress in December 1901 to curb the power of trusts/monopolies "within reasonable limits." His Congress "did not act but Roosevelt did, issuing 44 lawsuits against major corporations." He did things 'imself.
hPDA / work update
Tuesday, June 10
hPDA: I needed to look up what Workflow referred to... You know, for work. So I spent a little time on Wikipedia. Thankfully, I came across an important personal organizing tool for those overwhelmed psychologically by the current trend of using "computers" to stay organized: the Hipster PDA.
Work update: I am beginning to understand the meaning of the phrase, "A camel is a horse designed by committee." And Dilbert and Office Space are now amusing in new ways. I'm frightened of what else may be coming...

How could it be?
Friday, June 6
The sun and stars and everything, everything
and I'm 9 to 5, 6 to 4, or, yes, outside the wall
knowing everything, watching and waiting, born into captivity
I set the stars free
Watch them, on a string
I could, I'm capable
Stirring, and such
It's a small day to be alive
And without a small hand to hold
and I'm 9 to 5, 6 to 4, or, yes, outside the wall
