“Getting rid of your Sag house, that was unforgiveable. Like selling your kids...”
– Colson Whitehead, “Sag Harbor” - clearly reading this on a cold January day to remind me of some of my favorite summer memories.
Nicole “Snooki” Polizzi refused to meet Jerry...

I don’t mean to beat a dead horse (VW), and my vow this week is to listen to the Spoon album I’ve downloaded and haven’t had a chance to listen to and download Beach House tomorrow, but I need to post this article for several reasons.
I normally don’t believe in “the Mondays.” At my old gig, every day sucked, so why differentiate? And at my preferred...
“I wish I could stay home with my girlfriend and watch Seinfeld. I’d like...”
– John Mayer.
Check RollingStone.com for the extras of his really fabulous cover feature, on stands now. As always, RollingStone.com digs deeper and personally, I am entertained that John Mayer basically listed my resume (to RollingStone.com, no less) when discussing his ideal mate.
Help Me!
So today started an unenthused trip shopping for Nike+ running shoes. But before I find the right pair and get my iPhone hook up, I have an urgent question: how can I get my iPhone not to jump to a new song any time I move abruptly?
Everytime I run down the stairs, hop onto a curb, put my iPhone in my pocket and move quickly, or run down the street — basically any quick movement that...

“There are people who read Pitchfork, and Vampire Weekend is the most mainstream...”
– Kris Chen of XL, Vampire Weekend’s label, talking to GQ about the band’s remarkable success.
I think this is a very succinct and accurate way of defining Vampire Weekend’s cultural niche. That niche has been occupied by some other bands; this isn’t exactly a new phenomenon. I think a close analog...

Almost. Done. I wish this dress code were an exaggeration of what recruitment is like. It’s not.
My office thoroughly enjoyed the IvyGate blog yesterday. The guys were mortified that girls act like this - and refused to believe that I was so big into recruitment in my college days.
“To all the people watching, I can never ever thank you enough for your kindness...”

Totally disagree with this dude — I dance more at VW shows than at any concert I have ever been to in my life. It’s totally danceable. I’m not sure if I’m the only one dancing — I get too into it to notice or care. But maybe that’s why on Sunday I got told “You really know how to shake it.” And yeah, when A-Punk, Oxford Comma...

Apple and the Red Cross worked together to create a frictionless way to donate to the Haiti relief effort through iTunes. Click the link (or hit the iTunes Store on your own) and pick your amount - that’s it.
Everyone donates more when it can be done in fewer steps, using an existing, trusted payment system. Any company sitting on such a system has a responsibility to make...

Scrap all former resolutions. This is the only one that matters:
Don’t cry over anyone who wouldn’t shed a tear for you.
No one is ruining my last semester here but me.
Ditto.
In light of all the NBC late night news, I decided that if I’m going to be a thorough entertainment reporter, I need to know the full late night landscape. Which tonight meant watching Lopez Tonight. And honestly? I think he’s as good as the guys on the major broadcast networks. Maybe his humor can push an envelope a bit more than the Tonight Show (the only reason why I think...
