A few things:
- Can I just say I’m really sorry I haven’t listened to Los Campesinos! until now? Because I really am so sorry. They are amazing. I don’t know what was stopping me. Thank you to those of you who’ve blogged their songs before for putting this idea in my head.
- I’m simultaneously reading Extremely Loud and Incredibly Close and A Bad Idea I’m About To Do because Jonathan Safran Foer is so depressing I need Chris Gethard to cheer me up.
- Craig Finn’s album came out today! If you don’t have a copy yet, what are you even waiting for?!
- I am also embarrassed to say that I just discovered Drunk Girl/High Guy. So embarrassed. I’m sure you all are like “why do I even follow this chick?” Unless you also hadn’t read it until now—in that case, you’re welcome!

As much as pizza and Jim Beam helped, I am still so goddamn sad.

Holy shit Fischer Price. It’s funny how I had the exact same immediate thoughts on seeing this picture as the guy who wrote about it on Mental Floss: omg the way the gas pump fit in the car, omg the way the elevator got harder to push as you got toward the top and the ding and omg just how much fun that slide looked. There is definitely a picture of me as a very small child sitting on this because although it was mostly my favorite toy, it was also my favorite seat? Mine might have been a late-80’s version, but my cousins’ mid-70’s version looked exactly the same, just worn out in different ways.
Also, my grandparents had the plane and I would drag it by its string around their apartment and occasionally crash it into the sink and then have a bystander save the passengers from drowning. Also, the girl in the bottom row, second from the left in this picture was my favorite one because she had short brown hair like me and I liked the color of her dress-thing.

The Ataris - So Long Astoria (Live at Warped Tour 2003)
I was about to post this on my 2002 blog (which I have been posting on a lot more, you guys! follow me!), but it’s from 2003 and I need to stick to the theme!
But anyway, I had this video on some DVD (might have come free with something?) and might still have it and will obviously look for it next time I’m at my parents’ house. I know this is not technically the first snow of the season (stupid weird fluke Halloween snow!) and I already posted these lyrics when it did snow in October, but I could almost see you breathin’ in the middle of that empty street.

“I’ll never relate to your city peeps ‘cause I do most of my thuggin’ on suburban streets.”
—
Julia Nunes’ “The Debt”
Despite the fact that I do the majority of my thuggin’ on city streets, I love this line. I saw Julia this week at Housing Works with my little sister (and previously at The Living Room a few years back with Kim). She is just really fun live and super super nice to her fans and y’all should check her out on her youtube channel.

Uptown Collective’s Tweet of the Week is pretty consistently awesome.

As much as I’m rooting for Leslie to win the election, I’m starting to think that Ron will become the Assistant City Manager and she’ll take his job? I mean maybe, but I don’t know. It just makes sense because the show’s called ’Parks and Recreation’ and that way everyone will still work together. Right?

I really love this girl’s blog and today she posted this and I love this because this is how I feel about style blogs:
“I’ve decided I’m not going to accept new “courtesy of” items. In the past, some of the shops that advertise on this site have offered me samples of their clothes for free, which is awesome because who doesn’t love free clothes? But part of the reason why I like reading blogs (and considered starting one) is that they offer an alternative to magazines. They represent what a non-magazine-model without access to a huge magazine closet might wear, and what she might be willing to hand over her hard-earned money for. Getting free stuff runs counter to why I preferred blogs in the first place.”

Not all of these albums came out in 2002, but I want to discuss the 3 visible ones that did: Taking Back Sunday’s Tell All Your Friends, Something Corporate’s Leaving Through the Bathroom Window and Bowling For Soup’s Drunk Enough to Dance.
Click through to read some stupid shit I just wrote at 2 am about some bands I liked when I was 13. It’s whatever. Also Eminem.

This is a very accurate description of Marky Mark. Also, I just watched some old episodes of TCGS (because it’s awesome, but also because I have no life and just ate half a pint of ice cream and whatever you guys shut up) and Will Hines was on one of them. In other news, I have The LLC’s song about Walter, TCGS’s only fan, stuck in my head. “Walter is calling! Walter!” I should really go to sleep.
