5. More ebay madness: A HREF="http://cgi.ebay.com/ws/eBayISAPI.dll?ViewItem&item=4724643644" target="new">this/A> should help fuel my hipster chic interest in cassette tapes for a little longerMalibu's Most Wanted1. end of my four year relationship with college radio. it's been fun2. this psych paper i need to write to graduate is terrible horrible no good very bad. plus the internet is a big distraction. and a mid day buzz (see free beer above) will also kill your momentum. 3. moving is shaping up to be a bitch, and i'm going to miss this city and papers going to be thin what with all the joblessness.4. return of family guy and the even less funny american dad being A HREF="http://www.calendarlive.com/tv/cl-et-arrested29apr29,0,1880754.story?coll=cl-home-top-blurb-right" target="new">semi responsible/A> for Arrested Development's semi-demise. I mean, this season wasn't quite as well put together as the last but it was still infinitely better than everything else on the tv. 5. season finale of wonder showzen taking a very very long time to download. has this show generated enough buzz to get itself on regular cable for those of us digital cable-less to enjoy it?

You wanted to know what I think is funny - there you have it
i should amend my chart to mention squashing two beefs in one day.
Did you know her when she was at Georgetown? Some girl who graduated from Georgetown mistook me for her in New York (although I am less well-endowed, and I imagine, shorter).
i wish. us gwu folls don't mingle with the georgetowners that much.
i think gwu students have less potential and more cocaine.
i also think she was there a few years before my time in the area..
Really?! I must have led a sheltered existence in college; cocaine was strictly limited to the members of SAE and Pi Beta Phi. The colored folk on campus didn't really fuck with it too much, nor did they really drink (pretty much straight-forward herb smoking).
it's pretty big amongst the female population especially. out of the small handful of girls that i've been close enough with to know whether or not they've had serious coke issues, every one of them have had a coke issue. but maybe i'm just surrounding myself with the wrong people.
and yeah, in my experience mostly white people are fucking with the white lines. although it is huge amongst a certain sect of the indians (american born/raised ones mainly).
i don't touch it though.
1) this book and the stuff you can make from it
2) Sanpellegrino Aranciata has dethroned Orangina
3) I can't stop talking about this film
4) My girl crush on comedian Amy Sedaris
5) Constantine aka Disney Jim Morrison finally got voted off
6) successfully thwarted the baby beer belly from materializing by actually exercising for a change.
lemons
1) i am grinding my teeth in my sleep again
2) i wish the best pho restaurants in this city stayed open past 7pm
I feel validated.

3. I'm almost done with my end-of-semester grading.
4. I got a great annual performance review at work.
5. I've lost 20 pounds (Jeeeeeaah!!!!!!).
Sidney Wicks:
1. Over a month ago, I sent new submission paper to some experts to review before sending it to a journal, and they're taking forever to send comments on it (slowin' my roll).
2. Playin' Mr. Nice Guy, I volunteered to participate in our college commencement (booooooooring!!!).
3. I'm generally tired, I need a vacation.
4. Philly looks like they'll be goin' fishin' with Kenny Smith soon.
5. I got yet another paper dropped in my lap to write today (on top of an ever-growing pile; busy-summer related).

Pa'bajo

2. No records in Indianapolis
3. Two months of freelance work is scary, I need more scrilla and security, not a lot of opportunities for anthropologists in NYC.
4. Yankees are 6.5 games under, still faithful though!
fuck a number 5, trying to stay positive!
THAT IS SO RADD.
Zambia ??? Prophet Band
Baggage Handlers ??? Raekwon
Staring at the Sun ??? TV on the Radio
rice and peas with curried green beans
kittens
[color:orange] one main thing bumming me out right now[/color]
Bob Hunter???s dead (co-founder of Greenpeace and lifelong advocate/fighter for the environment/wildlife)
1. Paper writing not being so drastic right now. Definitely time consuming, but the brutal things are finished.
2. The male vocal version of "Is It All Over My Face?" I'd never heard this until yesterday. It's bizarre. Sounds like how that Orleans record looks. Dudes cannot sing, it's fairly charming
3. Laura Kipnis' book Against Love. I have posted about this before. Though I don't agree with much of what she's said, it is presented in polemical form. This book has been a touchstone for a lot of what I've read and thought about this semester, and is worthy of being so.
4. My mom, dad, and sister coming to visit me soon for graduation! My makes it to DC once a year, and me to Vermont (where she lives) once a year, so it's always exciting to chill at our respective homes and not just where our folks live
5. This one girl I've been seeing being real chill
6. The Wizards last night! They KILLED IT
Bottom
1. Last classes with a couple of professors I really love and have taught me an enormous amount. I hope I am able to keep in touch with a couple of them...
2. Found out yesterday Ted Leo does a medley of "Since You've Been Gone"/"Maps." Dude, stop
3. Trumpet lessons ending and me not putting in much effort the latter half of the(and really all) semester
4. My friend Gabriella moving back to Texas and then maybe to Italy very soon! Boo
5. Palindromes, the new Todd Solondz movie. Not that it was bad, just that it should have done something different. Seeing what he is capable of, this just seems like he's making fun of some easy targets instead of doing some sort of investigation/deconstruction of what makes them work and what that means about this larger "us." Bummer
