Yay my new state

You passed a referendum affirming the right of gays to get civil unions and defeated an awful, awful initiative that would’ve frozen state revenue at current levels!  Yay!  It is too bad Chris Christie LITERALLY MURDERED OBAMA but all politics is local after all.

Spotted on the quad

A small girl dressed in a full-body dinosaur costume.  This was today, two days after Halloween.  I like to think that the girl was aware of this fact, but decided that she didn’t care.  Because she is a dinosaur.

Julian Casablancas - Out Of The Blue

Eight songs and forty minutes? Really?! Thank you so much. Honestly, Julian Casablancas fucking gets pop/rock music so well. I’m not sure what that third Strokes album was all about—I’ll kind of assume they were just doing like just too much coke and thought it would be fine to keep adding retarded shit ‘pon retarded shit. Between this album and the Albert Hammond, Jr. albums, I still retain hope for another good Strokes release. Sí se puede. Sí se puede.

I am looking forward to listening to a non-96kbps version of this album, but I suspect it’s going to take a while to get over how much this song sounds like “Ana Ng”-era They Might Be Giants.  Not that this is a bad thing!

Problem Girl: The ultimate faux pas (of friendship)

This is one of those things I would’ve thought had been linked everywhere, but it does not seem to have been, so here you go: a very good anecdote about customer service, knife-wielding maniacs, and friendship. (via dubodee)

Hey, want to watch the Pete & Pete “Halloweenie” episode?  Of course you do.  It’s an amazing episode!  And also it has Iggy Pop.

Watch ‘em all: Part 2, Part 3, Part 4.

A brief but telling statement about political information

“I don’t know anything about Tibet.  I have very vague knowledge about Tibet.  Except that it needs to be freed.”
