“I like how the potential VP of the United States is a publicity stunt.

– some dude on Digg.com regarding McCain’s pick for vice president.

Why Mr. Wall, I had no idea you read the sporting blogs. I read a rumor that Mariotti might be heading to Boston, where he’ll be as welcome as a thumb tack at a zoo for balloon animals. The man should clearly move to NY where perhaps he’ll enrage A-Rod to the point of fisticuffs. I’d pay to see that.

For those of you who don’t follow the world of mainstream...
Let’s hope there’s no tragic, gasoline-fight accident this time…
(I love the expression on Michelle’s face.)
This week is awesome.
First, the robbery. Now I find out that the owner of Rust, the club my band was playing at on Friday, has vetoed our appearance even though it was the bar manager who booked us. Frustrating. I made that cool poster for nothing. Sigh.

I knew it!
Rock star?
Casey bought me two shots tonight called “Candy Cane.” Is that really the shot of a rock star? Thank god Jared and someone else bought me whiskey shots. It’s 4:35am, and I just watched the USA men’s basketball team win the gold medal. Hope that didn’t ruin the prime-time surprise for anyone. My Sunday is going to be full of doing nothing. I like being not busy much...

Barack: I’ve chosen Senator Joe Biden to be our VP nominee. Watch the first Obama-Biden rally live at 3pm ET on www.BarackObama.com. Spread the world!
Aziz: Hey man, that’s great. I’m actually asleep, I’ll catch ya tomorrow.
Barack: No man, we gotta party! Come out!
Aziz: That’s all good, I’ll party up tomorrow.
Barack: Quit being a bitch, come out!!!!
Aziz: I’m good man.

One of my especially perky co-workers has taken to singing my name at me the first time she sees me in the morning.
I get that you’re tired of the same boring greetings every day at the office. “Good morning.” “How was your weekend?” “I’m a giant tool and hate my life.” But let’s leave singing out of it.
It’s insufferable.

Well, if these geniuses don’t manage to create a black hole that eats our entire solar system, at least they can shoot a proton beam through a mountain. Maybe Al Gore should make a movie about this horseshit. Seems like a much greater threat to the environment than some melting ice.
“I would have ideally liked a hermaphrodite president, if it was up to me...”
– Russell Brand’s endorsement of Obama ‘08.
“Just so you know, that’s supposed to be funny. Even though I am serious.”
– Diddy, after he claimed he could win a gold medal in “Who could have sex the longest.”
Suddenly, however, quite a passionate letter...
What was it. said Will, observing that she spoke with a timidity quite new in her. I have a hyperbolical tongue: it catches fire as it goes. I dare say I shall have to retract.
- One of the strangest spam messages I’ve ever gotten. It was from someone named “Impeach Reagan.”
The Hold Steady almost killed me.
I went to see The Hold Steady play in Charleston last night at a place called The Pour House. What should have been an incredible night wound up being pretty miserable because the venue didn’t have air conditioning.
The heat and humidity was stifling to the point of distraction, and my enjoyment of what seemed like a great show from one of my favorite bands was severely lessened.
It was...
