Self-mandated three day weekend update:
I grab a window table at Cafe Neo and as I’m setting up my workspace waiting for my afternoon tea and sandwich to arrive, “All We Are” starts playing over the speakers.
There’s a British mom sitting next to me and she just had to explain to her daughter who also has a wee British accent why there aren’t castles in America. And then I look out the window and...
WatchAndrew McMahon and Matt Nathanson ask each other fan submitted questions. I forgot this gem existed until I actually started to click on the ridiculous links in the post below.
When two totally separate parts of my life collide naturally, it’s amazing. This is the perfect example.

What does it feel like to work for a company that you truly considers your interests as well as its own when making decisions?
What does it feel like to sit at a desk where you feel valued and fairly compensated?
WatchHow the hell am I supposed to put up with dudes like Stephan Jenkins dancing like THIS when regular college dudes can do THAT SHIT UP TOP?
More importantly, how are dudes who dance like that shit up top supposed to put up with me dancing like Stephan Jenkins?
These are real thoughts crossing my mind thanks to one Miss Taylah B’s recent webmail.

– Once again, fuck you “Liz.”
You will never be Daria.
You will never be Jane.
You will never be Angela.
You will never be Lindsay.

I had no idea how creative and invested this man is in worlds outside of a music producer’s chair. I’m simply fascinated.

No offense, Yanks
caro:
but after spending the better part of a week in a rural region of a Latin American country, watching Spanish-language news reports about a massive humanitarian crisis in the Caribbean, all this Twitter banter about the upset of a senatorial supermajority might as well be hand-wringing over the finale of American Idol.
There, I said it.
Clearly there’s always a worse case scenario....
Watch2009: slideshow’d: better late that never, right? another year, another imovie project.

[This is long and obvious, but it’s been driving me nuts for years. So here is my Guide to Online Publicity (For Dummies).]
There’s a question that has been bugging me for years: why are 99% of publicists and promotion/marketing people complete useless failures when it comes to blogs and online outlets? I keep waiting for the industry to figure things out and catch up, but it...
