Tomorrow is my birthday! I’ll be 22. This is the first birthday I haven’t been particularly excited about, which is the milestone I always figured makes you a grown-up because my parents are so nonchalant about their birthdays.
Also, I am sick and getting sicker but I really don’t need to miss work tomorrow. So probably this is going to be one of the…I don’t want to...

What children think of the Beatles
“There is a girl called Lucy in a marmalade sky,” begins Otto. “Then her boat sinks and she lands in a marshmallow pie. Then a giant shoe falls down from the sky. Then John, Paul, Ringo and the other guy come out and go arrggh! They have two ninja swords, 14 laser canons and Darth Vader. Then the sky fills with diamond warriors who kill...

Kenneth Hoagland went to jail for what started as a cold.
Hoagland had refinanced his Nashville home to pay off the $25,000 tab for his weeklong diabetes-related stay at Southern Hills Medical Center.
The new mortgage left Hoagland out of medical debt but afraid to get sick again.
Unfortunately, he did. In 2004, Hoagland was in a health insurance waiting period on a new job when a...

I feel like I should elaborate on my Nashville trip a little. It only left me more confused then I was before, I guess. I really liked the classes I saw at Vanderbilt, the campus is beautiful, and I had a really great time with Caity and her friends. However, it reminded me a lot of my high school, and I have to make the decision as to whether or not I want to...

HEY JOSH RITTER FANS
I have long been searching for a copy of Josh Ritter’s live cover of Neil Young’s “Hey Hey, My My” because it can only be incredible, am I right? I know it exists because it’s on Doug Rice’s old trading page (here) but he doesn’t trade any more.
So, can you help me? If not, spread the word until we find someone who can…
In other news, I really want...

I want to buy and play Beatles Trivial Prusuit but no one is going to play that shit with me. 1) because I’ll win and 2) I only know 2 other people that know enough about The Beatles to get through it happily. and they don’t want to play. haha
I’m also worried it’ll be like “How many songs have the word __ in it?” HATE THAT CRAP.
There’s a Beatles Trivial Pursuit??...

in the skyyyYYYYyyyy.
OH GOD there was a month-long period in my life when I could not get this song out of my head. I think it’s still one of the most-played songs on my iTunes, just from that one month.
I guess it’s about time I had a “Macca” tag.

Mid-book review: The Time Traveler's Wife
So I take back what I said about enjoying this book. It’s actually pretty terrible. The author (Audrey Niffenegger) has a major problem with narrative versus irrelevant details. There is way too much of the latter, to the detriment of the former. Basically, she has the same problem as Charlaine Harris with the Southern Vampire Mysteries (except not quite as bad; Dead Until Dark was just...
