meghan mccain has good taste in music! who woulda thunk? i dunno why this surprises me so much. i mean, she’s 24. she likes music. this is the music 24 yr olds (and 29 yr olds, *ahem*) listen to…still, it’s. just. weird. to me.

from the comments:
“imeem, last.fm, lala, etc. - all dedicated to not giving the music consumer what they want: unrestricted music files on the consumer’s own hard drive(s) at a low, low price; so, hardly surprising that they are in trouble.”
dear sir, it’s not that simple. :/

ugh. this, along with the completely ridiculous prop 8 ads running on television right now (“our children *will* be taught gay marriage” - RLY? i seem to have missed the class about marriage when i was in THIRD GRADE and my parents were DIVORCING. also, WHO CARES?!?), make me so ANGRY that i am using CAPS way too MUCH.

“I’m so confused,” says Topherchris about the video to “Womanizer.” “Britney Spears is telling me not to objectify her while writhing around in a manner that leaves me no choice but to objectify her.”

me: oh yeah!
me: haha
me: oops, i forgot

We caught each other’s glances a few times throughout the night at the Hemlock on Tuesday. Your friend came over and told us to come over to chat with you. We talked for a bit but it was a rushed goodbye. Never got the chance to get your number. Care to meet up for a drink in the near future?
steph: did you go to the hemmy on tuesday?
me: yep
steph: can this please be one of you?
