Apparently it was really important to me to screenshot the uber-gay guy from Project Runway and his vest made of book bindings (!!!!) and save it on my desktop for three weeks. Priorities, guys. Priorities.
Really really loving the new (to me) Beirut album.
Love me, love me
Song was karaoke’d last night in honor of our two friends who are studying abroad this year and couldn’t be with us. We miss dem muchooo.
Girl Talk's Ultimate Summer Playlist
Girl Talk gave his ultimate summer playlist to the Vulture a few years ago, and, while summer is pretty much over, thanks to lovely SF weather Indian Summer is coming fast. Rendering this playlist still relevant, thank god! Gems abound, including the inclusion of Lovefool, a Phelan Hall/life staple.

Old-Timey Subway Train Campaign of the Day: To promote the upcoming second season of its critically acclaimed period series Boardwalk Empire, HBO, with a little help from NYC’s MTA, will install a throwback subway train that will run through September 25th — the show’s premiere date.
Starting on Saturday, September 3rd an authentic vintage 1920’s train will run on the express 2/3 track in Manhattan throughout September (specifically, from 12 to 6 p.m. on Saturdays and Sundays). Originally operated by the Interborough Rapid Transit (IRT) system, the train began service back in 1917 and will once again be operational. Customers who have the opportunity to ride the vintage train will be transported back in time to the Prohibition era with authentic details such as rattan seats, ceiling fans and drop sash windows, as well as a custom branded interior featuring Boardwalk Empire-inspired period artwork.
NB: During the final weekend of the promo, HBO-branded people will be handing out complimentary MetroCards near the Times Square-42nd and 72nd street stations.

As if there weren’t reason enough to go to NYC. Preferably sans hurricane, though.

I used to listen to Blue every night as I fell asleep in high school. I got nostalgic for it and put it on last night…and knocked out instantly. It’s kind of amazing that my brain still associates Joni with sleeeepytime.
