i have two strange things about which i get very angry and upset. the first are these young men:





they cause me grief. and i'm always slightly embarassed when i let the fact that i know anything about sports at all slip and people say "when did you start liking SPORTS?" the truth is, growing up with my parents ensured that we learned a little bit about a lot things. it was a very liberal arts education.


the second thing are these fine young men:



an emo-obsessed high school period led me to brand new, the only band that has survived the atomic bombing of indie rock music that has replaced my old cd's of goldfinger in recent years.

i love this band.
i love everything about it.
but they have hence forth fallen off the face of the earth.
i will kiss the first person who tells me anything.
unless you don't want to kiss me, in which case i'll shake your hand very firmly.
