I just realized

that this blog has been a self-indulgent pit of whininess and manufactured sentiment since March 26th. How repulsive. Here is a picture to mollify the frustrated masses:



I am sure I have posted this before, but the impossible touristy-ness of the photo and the image of male-pattern-baldness-baby saying "Okay, now get one of me in front of the crowd" gets me every time.

THIS JUST IN: In an effort to remain as pretentious and procrastinatory as possible, I have moved to Wordpress. This blog, and all of its posts, are now at yourbutts.wordpress.com.

From an article on (God help me) Oprah.com: "Savor your longing. Note the clever way it has of reminding you that you are very much alive."

Old songs

It's funny how there are so many songs that I never used to like until I hear them again, years later, and I am just nostalgic enough to be won over.

I just YouTubed and watched every version of "Can't Take My Eyes Off You" that I could find. Including a High School Musical song with the same name that appears unrelated. The version that I first heard and that made me fall in love with it was an a cappella rendition by Penn Atma, who I normally don't like but who nail this song so beautifully. To date, I haven't found one that I like quite so much.
