  1. @poshlost Won't ruin your fun any further but yup. (Probably the character whose reappearance is least cause for celebration for me.)
  2. The makings of the worst Mad Men ever: 8 minutes in and it's been all Lane, Crane and Kinsey(!).
  3. What passes for humor in oh-so-enlightened Princeton. twitter.com/cdibella/statu…
  4. @herodotusjr My alma mater like-uhs the bucks. Been trying to ram this bachelor's degree through forever. Sure it will be a cash cow. Ugh.
  5. NPR story reminded me of the awesomeness that is a few songs from every Matthew Sweet album. Using one to get rid of boy band earworm.
  6. How the *%$@ did a One Direction song get into my head? And why won't it get out? #spotifyquick
  7. Yay! @lizzwinstead 's book is downloading to my phone right now. Been waiting for it to come out for months. #delayedinstantgratification
  8. Day in NYC w/ Max all set MT @natltrainday @Amtrak 40th Anniversary Exhibit Train will be at Grand Central for #NTD12 bit.ly/HPttRy
  9. @meau Reading habits one step above People mag these days and guided by what's easiest to read on tiny screen. English degree -> good use.
  10. @meau Will check it out - was in the midst of deciding btwn Rachel Dratch and Kevin Smith(!) memoirs so could certainly stand to branch out.
  11. @meau Agreed, but burned through that one right after it came out. (Thought M. Kaling book was disappointing wannabe and can't finish.)
  12. Need book to read on phone while post-tonsillectomy son sleeps on arm. So far: Jay Mohr SNL memoir and MTV oral history. What else? #lowbrow
  13. Obsessively refreshing Weather Channel app on my phone hoping monsoon holds out a few more hours so we can go to @SesamePlace #10sparenting
  14. I appreciate Spotify's utility for reinforcing earworms though I really should be doing the opposite and pushing this one out. #gotye
  15. Just rediscovered Music OnDemand and now watching Blur's "Country House" on a TV screen for first time in over a decade. #stillawesome
  16. @DerangeDescribe Ah. Read yours too fast and pictured flames, flames on the side of the speaker's face if that was a takeaway from his talk.
  17. @DerangeDescribe Note that's people who write *incorrectly* about experience with MPLP - not who have experience with MPLP. Big difference!
  18. @josteele Find Bridesmaids vastly overrated but it's in heavy rotation here. Will probably appreciate after seeing it several hundred times.
