Home on a Friday night. Drinking a beer, eating some Ramen noodles, watching some Mad Men. It’s cool, ‘cuz I’ve got it like that.

Things I Did Tonight: >Worked super overtime. >Ate fast food. >Watched “Coyote Ugly.” >Sang Leanne Rimes songs. >Felt super lonely and single. >Restarted my fucking OkCupid thing. >Felt even more super lonely and single.
Woo life in the big CITY!
Sorry about the pity party. I’m off to read myself to sleep.
I love the idea of eBooks. I’ve been trying out the iBooks app on my iPhone. I get the idea, and I love the concept of having an entire library at my fingertips, but I cannot get over how good it feels to actually hold a new book in your hands. Underline passages and write notes in the margins. Smell the pages. Crack the spine. An electronic interface will never replace that for me.

“Stop telling me what to do. I know what you want.” “So do it. Harder. Again.”
So, uh… Don Draper likes it rough. (From Mad Men’s Season 4 premier, “Public Relations”)

Because there was once a time when all this felt like it mattered—
I am sick of cramming my feelings into 160 keystrokes (as if the glass of my iPhone could feel or convey anything at all). It’s so watered down that everything’s lost meaning. I want parchment and ink. I want a letter I can hold in my hand, fold in my pocket and read without switching on a screen. I want postcards...

Seeing History in ‘Mad Men’ →
An awesome interactive timeline by the New York Times lining up events in the past three seasons of “Mad Men” with real-life historical events. It even chronicles events in the later-60s as a sort of “preview” of what might be in store in later seasons of the show. As a huge Maddict and history buff, this is super cool.

Faulkner at Virginia →
The University of Virginia has uploaded a number of lectures by influential American author William Faulkner that were recorded during his two-year stint at the university in the late 1950s.
These are phenomenal, especially his readings of his own work. ”A Word to Young Writers” is a must-listen.

UGH. I am marking this weekend off as a total disaster. I need to take a refresher course in keeping my crazy in check. At least I can admit it, right? And admission is the first step. Although in retrospect, it clearly isn’t my fault, I am still done, done, done.

i am oh-so moody. i.e., feeling rather depressed on this the day before my birthday. while i’d rather just curl up in bed, drink a cup of coffee and read the day away, i should probably go out and have a good time. so i think that’s what i’ll resolve to do. right-o.

I don’t know. I really don’t know.
Maybe it’s the indecisiveness. The illusiveness. The way I can’t ever really nail down what’s going through your head. Like you’re speaking another language. Life is full of ins and outs, and I don’t like sitting on this side of the fence. Every night I string out the worst of all possible conclusions I can reach...

Plan Will Cut Two Traffic Lanes from Division →
Three years from now, Division Street is going to look a lot different.
City council approved a $7 million plan this morning to rebuild Division Street from 10th Ave to 39th Ave as a more…
It will be nice to get rid of the “sometimes this lane is parking, sometimes this lane is traffic” part of the street, but my big concern with this is the same problem with about any street...
