Every problem can be solved by Googling
The sound on my Macbook wasn’t working without headphones, so I Googled my issue problem like I was chattin’ it up with an Apple Genius, and came across a thread that said to plug/unplug headphones about 10 times, as blahblahblahwhateves and it worked. TG4Google. You know, because it’d take longer to turn on my iPod connected to my stereo than to just listen on iTunes.

Pitchfork's review of Flight 1549's crash into the...
watcheroftheskies:
Flight 1549: Crash Into The Hudson [US Airways; 2009] Rating: 3.8 The latest US Airways crash can hardly even be called a “crash” in the onomatopoetic sense; words like “plop” or “bloop” would be better. From its opening (a flock of geese finding their way into the plane’s engine), it’s clear that this Crash Into The Hudson lacks the pastiche of its older NYC plane crash...

Robyn to drop acoustic EP. →
Robyn’s releasing an EP on Feb. 3 with acoustic versions of three tracks from her Grammy-nominated self-titled dance party of an album. The songs you won’t be dancing to: “With Every Heartbeat,” “Be Mine!,” and, “Bum Like You,” which I think will be the most hilarious as an acoustic track. But not as good as this video:

Trish and I thought maybe she wasn’t at the Golden Globes because she was so over winning all the time. But this is bizarre. Also, now is probably a good time to admit that while listening to CSS’s “Jager Yoga,” we sing “Mariska Hargitay” in place of “Don’t mess my holiday.” Check it out; sounds just like it. SVU tonight: get psyched!

WHAT? Well, we’ll always have “Let’s go to the beach tonight, with a bottle of wine.” Bummer time.
Someone stop me
I’ve had Lindsay Lohan’s “Rumors” in my head for the last week, so naturally, I just set it as my ringtone. Please help.

I just found out that it’s “for all intents and purposes” and not “for all intensive purposes”
Making fun of Sarah Palin never gets old. Well, it did. But now it’s in again.
First world problem alert!
Me: The internet is going so slow. We can't have that in this house.
Trish: No. We definitely cannot.
Me: It's so rude.
Five minutes later, it's fine. Whew!

By all means move at a glacial pace. You know how...
I think of that line every time I’m stuck behind some slow walker (aka every day of my life). The Devil Wears Prada was just on before I left for the gym and I was surprised at how many people at the gym ended up in front of me, walking so slow. Isn’t it the point to be the opposite?
