sneaky republican google sponsored ad

I just wrote an email reminder to myself to vote in the
Georgia Primaries (for democrat Jim Martin...thanks Christa!)

And this is what Google had to say about it:

life.2

Going through life the way I always did, it's pretty easy to revert to shitty old habits. I'm not really referring to smoking cigarettes or drunk texting. More like when a dude acts like a fucking tool it's real easy to get down on myself and then listen to the same sad song over and over again and maybe sleep all day or buy some brown and write a pathetic blog entry (this time is different!)

That's why it's tough to navigate responses now. It almost feels like I have amnesia - I don't quite know what to do when a dude acts like a dick (among other things), now. So I just dont do anything. I go home, go to bed, wake up, call Christa, we get some brunch. That's that.

What the hell took me so long?

Best Boss Ever

Last week at work nearly killed me. So I was pretty fucking delighted to see this email from my boss this morning:

I was thinking that once we get back on track with CP stuff, we should take a day, leave the office at 2pm and have an offsite meeting at "Spa Sydell" followed by some cocktails.

See you at the spa, betches.

meet your new hero

dewey decimal

Today I long for the days of typewriters and hard filing systems; telephones and good penmanship.
What was so wrong with card catalog? That shit never failed you. Yeah, maybe it took forever to find the card but it never just deleted itself or had a hard drive meltdown or made you feel like jumping out of the 18th floor window. You never had to call that slacker IT dude.

If not for the new Grizzly Bear I'd probably be smashing my computer into bits all over this office.




But, alas, there is always a remedy (technology's saving grace)...

An oldie, but a goodie!



Also, I've been EXTREMELY obsessed with Google Maps Street View. I used to stalk my old spots in NYC but now they have one for Atlanta. Time wasting just got a little bit creepier. Thanks Goog.

meet the depressed

Anyone who can get a 20-something slacker to wake up
at 10am every Sunday is clearly a special person.

I'll miss you, Tim Russert.

No point in watching TV anymore, ever again.

let's talk about feelings

oh man. when exactly did i forget how to be a girl?

(i may have written that exact sentence in my middle school diary,
probably followed by a line that wishes for mind-reading capabilities.)



kiana: once and future middle schooler.

viva life

It's always super good or super bad or both at the same time, but never boring.
Like how a year ago today I was junk sick. In Barcelona. With my family. Hating life.

Here's to now!



(I'm stealing this line:) I'm addicted to addiction. Present case: Elliott Smith's New Moon.
After 8 months of listening to that album non-stop I'm finally (slowly) pacifying the urge to put it on. Sadly, my typical safe fall-backs have totally failed me, so I've resorted my to middle/high school-era favorites...which kind of made me realize that I'm really no different than my 15-year-old self: singing along to the Descendents/Sleater-Kinney in my car. Crushing on everyone. Always distracted.


A culmination of many things, including old times sake and a headache...

I call this SAY IT DON'T SPAY IT:

1. elliott smith - all cleaned out
   
2. beat happening - noise
   
3. frightened rabbit - i feel better
   
4. descendents - bikeage
5. santogold - l.e.s. artistes
   
6. mgmt - indie rokkers
7. the dodos - jodi
8. deerhunter - after class
9. grizzly bear - while you wait for the others
10. miles benjamin anthony robinson - the debtor
11. velvet underground - sunday morning
12. elliott smith - independence day
13. dinosaur jr - quicksand
14. beat happening - tiger trap
    

PS - Did you notice how hot Michelle Obama looked last night? I vote for her.

Lately, every day has felt like the first day of kindergarden.
