Blog Aid

This morning I got an interoffice from Ben about his upcoming CD release party. The album is called Love And Other Indoor Games. I just found out what the indoor games are ... being stalked on the Internet! For the record, Ben is not an asshole, nor does he take blogging too seriously, but since the NY Times provided such an unflattering caricature, the least you can do is check out his new tunes. If you like what you hear (I do), the CD release party is 11/23 at 8, a few hours before that other party.

And speaking of blogger shindigs, get your tickets now to Movable Hype featuring The Fresh, Sons Of Sound, Snowden, Asobi Seksu, and DJs Tarts Of Pleasure. Tickets are $10 in advance, $12 at the door.

Interesting? Really? I must have read a different NYT article. The one I read was a tedious account of an insecure woman's inability to see the signs of a dude who is not looking for a serious relationship. I was actually surprised that the NYT published something so completely boring.

> an insecure woman's inability to see the signs of a dude who > is not looking for a serious relationship

i dunno, i found her complete insecurity and neurosis to be what was entertaining about it... and of couse she saw the "signs" -- she clearly says she knew the guy wasn't interested in a serious relationship -- she defies her better logic by still getting stalker-ish despite knowing better.

i guess it was a facile article, but believe me, the nyt publishes A LOT more boring pieces than this one...

"Interoffice?" So I said someone in my own company was "not even hot?" That's great. I can't wait for the Christmas party!

I'm sure he cried himself to sleep over that one, Lindsay. But relax... I'm sure you're used to being the bitch at most parties, not just Christmas.

I know chick-lit is "all the rage" but who cares about reading some self-obsessed loon misinterpret the cues of someone who doesn't care about her. Good lord! Is the NY Times trying to compete with Craigslist!

If he doens't like you get over it and move on. It's that simple.

Also, The New York Times has been publishing tech-challenged crap for the the past few years. Not as dramatic, but the article about the person who thinks that Verizon "busted" her for sharing a WiFi connection is hillarious!
