Randomness

[rusty_halo]

This is so sad: David Brooks on how we never escape our high school selves (in relation to politics, but still).

On the plus side, Stephen Colbert rocks SO much. Colbert at the White House press thingy: part 1, part 2, part 3. And because YouTube is awesome for finding random stuff: Colbert in a cheesy 80s new wave video and "I have a Dreamsicle." Oh, and check out the recent 60 Minutes profile--very interesting.

I admit it, Stephen Colbert really is nearly as awesome as Jon Stewart, in his own particular way. It was so cool to see him utterly shred the Orwellian bullshit that passes for discourse these days, right there in front of the president whose entire administration is built on said bullshit. And did I mention that I have Colbert Report tickets for this June? >:)

I missed Veronica Mars last night because they were showing BASKETBALL. &^%#*!!!!!

I tried to get Alice in Chains tickets during the NYC presale today, but of course the server was overloaded and by the time the page actually loaded they were sold out. Ugh. At least I have the Boston ticket to fall back on.

Pig announced more tour dates. Hmmm... should I fly to Fort Lauderdale? I hate that they're taking so long on this; airplace tickets are getting more expensive every day. :(

My life these days is incessant roommate hunting. *sigh* And work worries, and lots and lots of work...

Right now, I'm working on the ability for users to leave restaurant reviews at SuperVegan. It's going to rock--if you're looking for veg*n food in NYC, this will be the site. Don't forget to watch the LJ feed: superveganblog.

Back to work.... I'm not going to read my FL today lest I inadvertently get spoiled for VM.

I can't believe how many concerts I'm missing because of travel. I can't even come see you in Boston. *sigh* But, at least I can right after.

I was lucky on VM, because I get two different stations, and BB wasn't on one of them.

Also, REscue Me new season is the end of this month.

I just found out that I missed a college classmate on Colbert's tv show (J. Meacham). Small, small world.

My favorite line from the Colbert profile on 60 Minutes was when he said he didn't let his children watch his show because he's insincere when he's performing and he doesn't want them to see that.

Youthinking of doing the seattle show?

By the by, the Colbert thing...that was impressive and he was staring RIGHT AT BUSH saying those things.
