I was gonna call this ‘conclusions I have come to recently’ but there is only one conclusion

Most of the world is wrong when it comes to the (supposed) superiority of “Don’t Fear the Reaper” compared to “Buring for You.”
A majority of my words have gone to fictional pursuits, thus the strange silence on iwilldare.com.
My boss laughed when I told him I had to think so hard about goals last night that I gave myself a headache and am tired today. He found it reassuring that my goalessness extends to my personal life.
Today is annoying and making me hate everyone.
Except Jeff Tweedy.
For a brief and ill-advised moment this morning while I was making coffee I made the decision to start referring to myself as “The Jodi” in an effort to make everyone call me that. Then I decided that was dumb.
I was maimed by rock and roll.

Fact: “Burning for You” is the jam.

Everyone knows that the original title of that song was “Burning for Ewe” and I for one cannot condone man on sheep love no matter how good the guitar riff. Thus “Don’t Fear the Keefer” is clearly the winner.

The important point is that Buck Dharma wrote both songs, as well as the far superior “Perfect Water.”

As the only person in these parts that owns the entire BOC discography, I shall now consider the matter closed.

Also, Jay Farrar > Jeff Tweedy.

Contrarily yours,

Oh Timmy.

Are we really supposed to believe someone who admits to owning the entire BOC discography to be able to clearly judge Jeff Tweedy superiority over Jay Farrar?

Tweedy is more fun when he’s not out in left field, but he does spend a fair amount of time out there. Jay isn’t quite as much fun, but he is a little more dependable.

Everything I know about Oyster Cults, I learned from The Jodi.

Things I Want to Tell You

Someone needs to invent a bug repellent spray that not only keeps the mosquitoes away but includes some sort of anti-itch stuff to keep the bites you've already gotten from itching like crazy. [+]

Interview #2 at place I would enjoy working at went really well. I'm pretty pumped. [+]

Can I get an AMEN! This woman responds to the Jezebel Hullabaloo the way I wish I could have, had I not been blacking out with the rage. I agree that drinking a lot and having a lot of sex with different men is not feminism. It might be your lifestyle choice and a lot of fun -- go you, but it has nothing at all to do with being a feminist. I think once I simmer down a bit, I will chalk up the whole Hullabaloo to a few drunk 20something girls being stupid and naive, because, that's what 20something girls do. We've all done it, and not to get all sage woman of the earth, but something changes for women when they turn 30. I don't know what it is, I cannot define it, but other woman will agree 30 is a magical age where suddenly you seem more yourself, you think before you speak, you look back at your 20something self and realize what an idiot you were, but you still love that girl. I'm just hoping these Jezebel-girls will be so kind to their 20something selves when they look back at how absolutely foolish they were. {via fimoculous, whose comments are all men discussing the issue which makes me a little sad}. [+]

I had avoided the whole Jezebel hullabaloo until this morning when I was reading Mediation's thoughts on the nonsense. I followed his links to the Metafilter discussion and it was after watching the video there that I blacked out from sheer rage. I'm so angry I can't even write anything coherent. [+]

I just applied for a for reals job for the first time since 2000 (three fors in one sentence, go me). I feel a little like I'm going to barf. I forgot how nerve-wracking it is to want something like this. [+]

"Never mind that while he was on my ass about being in lust with a celebrity who lives in France and has two children with a French model, Greg was in love with a girl from, you know, like, down the street." Peabo cracks me up. [+]
