Good or bad?

Hi. I just found out that your roommate for Valencia, Brendan, will not be attending the program. You will stay in the same housing though. Just wanted to let you know that you are in a single now.

YOU BITCH

I'm going to post about Harry Potter, but it will be in the comments section of this post. It includes my favorite scenes, so anyone who isn't done, don't look at the comments.

Hey Guys...

How does it feel to be LEFT OUT?!

Nazi Socks

I looked down yesterday and paused briefly to look at the company logo printed on my sock:

Huh. That kind of looks like a swastika. What kind of company would have a logo that looks so much like a swastika? I wonder how many steps it took to get this company's logo approved, and I wonder why at none of the steps anyone went "hey, wait a minute, that kind of looks like a swastika."

after harry...

i just finished.








now what?

HOLY SHIT

MY GOD HARRY POTTER! I'M SO HAPPY! I'M TAKING MY TIME READING IT AND I'M ONLY ON PAGE 250. IT'S AWESOME!

If I suck balls, then I can't even imagine the type of shit Colin Ste ers sucks

Colin, I don't care if you're joking, which there is good chance that you aren't, because that shit is not cool. NOT. COOL. If you could see my face right now, you would not see me laughing, because I am not kidding. I have to go reserve my copy today, so I can spend the first 600 pages wondering if you are telling the truth or not. If you are, I will never forgive you. And I will take my revenge on you. Many, many times. If you aren't, I will still never forgive you, but there's a chance I might, at some point, forget, and that my thirst for revenge will, at some point in the distant future, be sated. FUCK YOU.

Also, Alex, you spelled Nymphadora wrong. Don't worry, I fixed it.

Tom Fry Sucks Balls and so Does Aarons mom

All you cool music aesthetes can blog and discuss Pitchfork. I'm gonna talk about Harry Potter.

The New York Times has carried three articles about the book in the past two days, and I cannot eat them up fast enough. They just published a review of the book I didn't read it closely cause I don't want any possible contamination of anything, but I did glance it over and it seems to be a rather glowing review of not just the book but the entire series. THey used the word bildungsroman, those New York Timers...



Here's my theory, Harry kills Voldemort (obviously) and everyone lives happily ever after. Neville gets killed off, and Snape turns out bad. All the speculation has precluded any discussion of the simple story book ending! Why shouldn't everyone (except Neville, he's dead) live happily ever after?

I could download the book, and part of me really wanted to get it off the internet. But I'm too lazy, and I've got the book reserved at River City Bookstore. So in a little more than 48 hours, we'll find out.

I'M SO EXCITED!

Oh. My. God.

I found this on P4K today:

Pitchfork: What song did we miss yesterday? [Deacon's set was cut short because of safety concerns.]

DD: "Wham City".

Pitchfork: I figured. Did you bring the whole crew for the choir?

DD: Yeah. Not the original, I couldn't get the bus for the originals. I made these huge blow-ups of the lyrics for the crowd, and I think 500 lyric sheets. That's why I was most bummed. It would have been the piece that most involved the audience, especially the people who couldn't see, because they would have had the lyric sheets and heard the other people singing the rhymes, and I was really looking forward to hearing that many people, when everything drops and it's just the chanting part. I was really looking forward to that. I was going to open with that, but I thought opening with a 12-minute epic might not be the best idea [laughs].

FUCKSHITDAMN!

Wayne Coyne's Helpful Hints

For all you kool kids going to Pitchfork, here's Wayne Coyne giving you advice on how to have an enjoyable experience at a multi-day music festival.

You don't realize how much I'm beating myself up wishing I had gone to Chicago this weekend. OH WELL!

News

This marks the first time in the history of the brog that any significant news has been broken.

Today, my boss offered me a job to stay on the campaign until the Iowa caucuses. I would be working in Chicago a full-time youth vote staffer on a major presidential campaign.

But lord knows I am conflicted. For every minute that I spend fantasizing about Barack Obama being president, I spend another daydreaming about 807 College next year. I am excited about the Senator’s health care plan. But I am also very excited about the Stan Beverage Show.

After a careful five minutes of deliberation, I made a decision- I would do it.

I need someone to sublet and hopefully I can find that person.

I may not be coming back in the fall. I will be back for winter.

Shit.

A little something to PUMP YOU UP

I found this Grizzly Bear interview/performance on the NPR website today. "On a Neck, On a Spit" sounds awesome. Very awesome. Look out Chi-town.

Also, can Anne and I get on this "Blue Line to California" at Union Station, where we will be dropped off?

ok so i don't post here b;ut i'm posting now in response to the few posts i read

1. tom, i know granger titcomb. his dad works with my dad. that makes us like step brothers
2. colin, i like your joke. however, i find that most of hte sun dress wearing girls with large sunglasses often end up hotter than i expected but also bitchier thani expected. lots of stupid people come into aeropostale. and also lots of people who speak little english. not lots of hot people...they all go to teavanna, the store i WANT to work at but requires 3 montsh of training (phhh, i probably know more about tea than half the employees, i went to CHINA)
3. i like family guy
4. pitchfork sucks
5. greg tom and i recorded a rap song freshman year adn talked about redoing it this year and didn't and now i'm listening to some old beats i have and we will make a real rap album this year. so everyone needs to start thinking of a name for our rap group (please not team hipster) and a rap name for themselves
6. iphone=oh my god
7. alex you should have gone to see prince you pussy

hearts, stars and rainbows

Because videos aren't lame when I post them...

Hey all.

Sorry to be pulling a total James on you guys, but I found some videos that I wanted to share.

1. Family Guy makes fun of the American version of The Office

(This is for you Sciuto, Greg, Fry, others)



2. A commercial I like.

This isn't the commercial I initially set out to find, but this one is good too. I don't care if you've seen it, see it again.



Yeah. Those are pretty worthless, but I'm pretty bored.

Who is pumped about the super Chicago weekend this weekend?

Quick question: how do I get from O'Hare to wherever I'm staying? Follow up question, where am I staying? Is there a Metro near there?

Xoxo,
Colin

PS: Yesterday while I was at the gym I saw this guy who, after finishing his reps on the machines, would take a quick look around before adding 10 to 20 pounds to the amount he was lifting before he got up and moved on. At first I thought he just wanted to lift more weight, but he didn't return to the machine. My only guess as to why he was doing this was that he wanted to impress whoever came after him by showing off how much it looked like he had been lifting. What a stellar dude.
