in my cd player...

Belle and Sebastian
Tigermilk

I just simply can't believe that LA Michael doesn't like this. You think you know someone...

on the page...

Tim O'Brien
Tomcat in Love

Julia walked into the bookstore tonight and grabbed me from behind. It was such an inspirational thing to see her there in front of me after 6 months in Berlin that I immediately bought one of her favorite books and dove in head first.

singletons...

Laine sent along the link to this week's Time article on the independent lives of single women. I told Erika that in the midst of wedding-frenzy among our friends, this article shouts out like a reasonable, clear, sane voice.

11...

Is 3:11 a.m. too late to be listening to Belle and Sebastian on 11? Perhaps.

pirates...

I showed Todd a preview of whirlygirl 4.0 today. He immediately recognized that I stole the design from my favorite daily web log. He says he hates pirates.

tears...

I didn't mean to make her cry... I just simply wanted her to know how I felt. And then as I kissed her on the forehead, the waitress came over to ask if we wanted another drink. It was rushed and real, but touching none-the-less.

celebrity siting...

James Spader is renting a house on the Cape very close to where Marianna's family is renting theirs. She said she saw him getting into a bright blue Ford Taurus station wagon with a woman and child. To me, that's worse than seeing Tinkerbell's string at Walt Disney World. I mean James Spader, station wagon, family? Where is the smirking, verbally-abusing, sports-car-driving James of my teenage youth?
