i have "never gonna give you up" by rick astley in my head and it's driving me crazy!

please enjoy this photo of stephen malkmus from 2001, just because.

see, mom? i was just gifted when i drove you insane with my really loud, aggressive music for all those years.

random kitten generator. really, really cute.

cake b-sides and rarities.

the pea throwing incident.

i wrote to michael jackson in 5th grade during the "thriller" heyday. bastard never wrote me back. and, as i mentioned yesterday, i wrote to bob catalano from "dancin' on air." but i think that's it. but i DO know someone who wrote to courtney love in 1991 or '92 and got a hand-written response back...if you're reading this, testify, sistah!

i used to have a shirt that said "i shot j.r."

since "the office" isn't on this week, play some games! "bobblehead bash" is new, i think. i played a fill-in-the-quote-type game yesterday, and it was really hard!
