Your New Years Prayers Are Answered

Monday, December 31st, 2007

Since you all needed my help so badly last year, I offered you a list of five possible New Years Eve alternatives to going out, and partying, and having a good time. That’s because you’re all Internet nerds who need to be told what to do all the time. Don’t even try to deny it. [...]

SUNDAY MI– No, Wait…Nevermind

Monday, December 31st, 2007

There is no Sunday Mix Tape tonight because I posted 30 songs on Friday, and that should be enough to hold you rascals over for the next few days. Instead, I’m just going to link to some fun things from around the Internet.

Yesterday afternoon, Alex, Ilya, Sari and I piled into Phoebe’s car and drove west on I-10 to the Pacific Coast Highway, which we took north for a mile or two until we reached Pacific Palisades. The car ride [...]
