GMG new flash action style love. →
I mean flash as in like, new and shiny. Not flash.
Everyone alive is doing a favorite albums,
So I’ma jump on that bandwagon. 2000-2009, let’s dance. I’m going to number them 1 - 10, so let’s see how well that works out. Oh god.
1. The Postal Service - Give Up (2003)
No comment. Take it as you will. Best album of the decade.
2. Vampire Weekend - Vampire Weekend (2008)
This is one of those albums that I just listen to. A lot. I don’t know what their new...
Today, in the fabric store, a superbly nice woman asked me to reaffirm that I sew a lot, so her son could hear it. That was fantastic. I hope he remembers it, and kind of always thinks “Hey, sewing is kind of cool.”
It really is.
P.S. I picked up the pattern to make a full suit. Dangerous.

Ohmy, I can’t believe it’s almost been a month. Well, it’s back, so go get your glasses and see me try and find mine.

One of the things my parents got me for Christmas was a box of dark chocolate covered pomegranate seeds. Drool.

I was dreaming of a White Christmas...

And now I’m snowed in in Nebraska. Go figure.
You should read Charles Baxter’s Snow, it’s a good snowed-in-in-middle-america read.
The Google preview lets you read this entire short story! It’s really good, you should all read it.
Happy Birthday to Me!
fleetingmoment:
It’s officially my birthday now… Hooray. Does anyone really care? No, they don’t. And why is that? Because the historically inaccurate, semi religious/consumer holiday known as Christmas holds a monopoly on the 25th of December, causing those of us born on this day to feel like we’re being robbed of presents and left out to dry. Naturally, my family and close friends...
Merry Christmas Tumblr!
fleetingmoment:
…and a Happy Birthday to me ;)
To my MVP: Most Valuable Portuegesian! Happy everything!

Eskimo & Sons - Merry Christmas, Charlie...
I have too many resolutions for this new year.
standtallandgrow:
I am not sure how I’ll keep with all of them.
I don’t have a single one. Ho hum.
I’ve learned to really enjoy “Happy Holidays” as opposed to “Merry Christmas.” Not only can i avoid those awkward “I’m Jewish” or other creed moments, but I can also cut out having to add “and have a Happy New Year” to everything. Then, the final point, the best point, is that my birthday lies on December 19th. Now, no one is forgetting...

rockettothesun:
i’m going to tell you a secret.
i used to be a big alien ant farm fan. i may or may not have all of their albums.

That’s no big secret. I think we’ve all frolicked among the Ant-thology at one point or another!
Joseph: Gah, I have nothing to do.
Joseph's Artistic Side: Want to play awhile?
Joseph: I dunno. I don't feel like doing much.
Joseph's Artistic Side: We never do anything anymore.
Joseph: Sure we do!
Joseph's Artistic Side: Remember Got My Glasses? Remember Today Terrific? Snailboat Saga? Displaced Snail Publications? Where have you been?
Joseph: Sellin' cheese, brother, sellin' cheese.
Joseph's Artistic Side: Hey now. Cheese is fantastic.

So I’m turning 23 in nine minutes. I’ve got a glass of eight year old Glen Garioch Highland single malt scotch whisky, Sufjan Stevens eighth Christmas album, and three and a half pretzels. Happy birthday, Joe.

James Mercer collaborates with Danger Mouse →
graciesbusiness:
Lead Shins songwriter James Mercer has been collaborating with Danger Mouse on a project they call Broken Bells.
Broken Bells features Mercer on vocals, guitars and bass while Burton plays organ, drums, piano, synths and bass. The pair play all the instruments on the album with the exception of a full string section arranged by Daniele Luppi. Broken Bells was recorded by Todd...
The curious magic of Christmas shopping is that no matter how much you spend, no matter what you’re out to get, you end up buying yourself something, too. I like to think it’s not a form of greed, but rather a full arc of gift giving. Who needs gifts more than yourself, especially during the longest winter?
The stories I could tell you from the past three weeks. Would be extremely...
Norfolk & Wester - So That’s How It Is
...
So let’s talk about some apples.
The thermostat for the two upstairs bedrooms in my house is in the OTHER bedroom, the room my brother is currently occupying. He doesn’t like heat, but seeing as last night got down to 21, i convinced him to put it on low (around 62-I’m fine with that, heck, I love that). Now, one thing I didn’t think of was the air conditioner that was...

Veronica: Lem, I want to talk to you about your sperm.
Lem: I'm sorry, it got out of its containment vessel, and it's extremely aggressive, a-a-and...did you say..?
Veronica: Yes, sperm.
