whoa! we’re gonna have a party

Some things you never forget. For me, these things include the entire ninety word title of Fiona Apple’s second album. And where I was when I first encountered the Vengaboys. It was in a fancy hotel in Helsinki, if you were curious. It was also, not coincidentally, I feel, where I first encountered a bidet (I was mystified).

Also, I need to remember that, in order to function, I have to hear “We’re Going to Ibiza” at least once in every 90 day period.

don’t try

No, do not try to make sense of it: there is none to be had. I just think there needs to be a little bit more absurdism in today’s image macros. The memes are getting too mimetic, if you ask me. Hence, Akkadian winged lion, dutch process cocoa, and Freddie Prinze Jr.

A joke, to be sure, but I wholeheartedly support the introduction of “vrly” (verily) into the popular vernacular of both spoken English and lolmemes alike.

Points

• I think I used up my weekly allotment of enthusiasm thinking about that George Baker essay.
• As such, I cannot summon the interest to fully consider what possible significance there might be in having two sexy-airport music videos come out within two weeks of one another (One, Two). 70′s revivalism : yearning for pre-AIDS sexual license : : fantasies of airport debauchery : weariness with/incredulity of the “heightened security” of the last 5 years? Not quite. I know there’s decent analogy for what’s beginning to look like the dominant music-video zeitgeist, coming out of the second quarter (the invisible specter of a lustful Kelly Clarkson’s assaults an unfaithful ex-boyfriend in an airport terminal, airport men’s room in her newest clip, which seemed to have got ganked from YouTube), but I’m too tired to really think about it more.
• Freelance work sucks for more reasons than simply because “freelancing” is a polite way of saying “unemployed.” Web design, from a business perspective, is not something I was cut out for.

In fairness, though, I spend most of my time thinking about things like this
