Malajube’s “Ton Plat Favori”

By Justin | October 31, 2008

Maybe listening to la musique québécoise is a good way to bone up on my lapsed French skills. Non t’as pas finis ton assiette Mais tu manges encore Tu manges mon coeur! Plus t’en manges plus tu payes Mon coeur est rempli de haine envers toi No, you haven’t finished your plate But you are still [...]

Notes to stave off much-needed sleep

By Justin | October 31, 2008

Every Thursday I put the trash and the recycling out to the curb, and every Friday I take it in. Some Fridays, though, I go out the door to find the recycling bin all the way up the stairs, and the trash barrel put back near the bottom of the steps, away from the curb. [...]

OkCupid’s “Personality Awards”

By Justin | October 29, 2008

I’ve had a profile on OkCupid since March. Back when I was more invested in the site, I answered 954 of the questions that are used to judge users’ personalities. OkCupid analyzes the results as users answer more questions, and gives “Personality Awards” based on that analysis. These are little icons that supposedly indicate which [...]

A memorable weekend, for sure

By Justin | October 27, 2008

We, um, “acquired” a McCain-Palin yard sign on Saturday night. We then used said sign in a series of photos involving an assault rifle, a chain of bullets, and a blow-up doll named Sarah Jessica Porkher. A carton of chocolate milk and a synthetic beard and wig also played supporting roles. Overall, it was a [...]

Four times the storage capacity!

By Justin | October 27, 2008

I have been running low on storage space for a while now. I was considering moving all my episodes of Greek and Californication off of my external hard drive and onto DVDs, saving lots of space. But that would involve bringing my drive into work, buying DVDs, and burning them. Then I considered micromanaging my media: deleting [...]

Cory Woodward’s “Slipping Away”

By Justin | October 25, 2008

It seems like my blog has become a lyrics site lately (albeit much more stylish, and with no blinking ads covering the screen). But I can’t help it: this music is just too good. Tonight, in lieu of working on my assignment that was supposed to be handed in yesterday, I’m posting Cory Woodward’s song [...]

I’m just going to come right out…

By Justin | October 22, 2008

… and say it. You know what’s hot? Girls wearing pinstriped pants are hot. Preferably light grey pinstripes, tightly printed, on smooth black fabric. And also, scratching. Scratching is totally hot. What else is hot? Sarah Palin, cheerleaders, and—as a matter of preference—either brunettes or women with black hair.

Bass Lions’ “Ransom the Sunset”

By Justin | October 21, 2008

I’m having a lot of trouble figuring out the words to this song, and the online lyrics sites aren’t helping. One of them tried to tell me that “fragile at best” was supposed to be “fragile breasts.” Yup. Anyone want to help me out? The MP3 is available, for free, from the band. Well, I [...]

The Awkward Stage’s “I Hurt the Ones That Love Me”

By Justin | October 17, 2008

The Awkward Stage continues to defy my best attempts at classification. I got no friends, as I have lost them Down the steepest ridges I have tossed them I burned our bridges while we crossed them I got no friends, as I have lost them Been an angry baby all of my life Sharpened my [...]

I can see myself living here…

By Justin | October 15, 2008

The Connecticut River is so beautiful. I’d love to build a little house on the Portland side, in the woods, and watch the leaves change every year… I saw a 12-car freight train go over the rail bridge, watched the Middletown high school crew team launch and row up the river, and sat on a [...]
