He fucked up. There are times when I’ve watched business people on reality shows, say, Bridezillas, and thought, “You know, you can refuse to serve this person. All of America sees how they’re behaving and as long as you show restraint, it shouldn’t hurt business.” But then he lost his shit, like an idiot. If she wasn’t going to let him reassure her that he was a...

Lots of competition (“Soak Up The Sun,” holla!), and there are still five months to go, but I’m pretty sure by now it’s safe to give the award to Avril Lavigne for “Girlfriend.”
Disagree!
I nominate the Black Eyed Peas for “My Humps.”
hmmm i dunno, “soak up the sun” might be the winner here. oooh, or what about that sean kingston song “beautiful...

When Harry and I decided to move in together, I subscribed to Domino (hipster girl decorating magazine, full of mirrored nightstands, eggshell-blue walls, black chandeliers and funky wallpaper) to get decorating ideas. Not sure why I didn’t just read Design*Sponge and Apartment Therapy like everyone else, but I do like magazines. In the early early 00s I owned magazinejunkie.com (now...

that being said, my initial impression of discovery is a big fat “eh” + *shrugs shoulders*.
The first time I’ve ever heard Ali be wrong about music. ever.

i mostly agree with this review - i think this would’ve been a really great EP, there are definitely some fun tracks (most notably “orange shirt”, that jam gets stuck in my head a few times a day), but overall it’s uneven as a full length LP. some of it just feels thrown together - *ahem* “i want you back” cover *ahem*.
i’ve only given it a few listens so...

…there’s a current discussion about Tumblr alter-egos and the real people behind those.
I completely respect those who keep their names private, as most of us blog about work and such things have been known to get people f-i-r-e-d. As well, we blog about our personal lives and some are not as open to revealing their identities as others. Totally cool and understandable.
