Re: Noted

1

I'm waiting for someone to tell me my musical notation is wrong.

Any minute now.

I don't understand musical notation. I have, however, resolved to figure out how to use iTunes to purchase the Modest Mouse album from three our four years ago.

Unless iTunes isn't how someone with an Android phone should buy an album.

2: I recommend The Moon & Antarctica. Some people prefer This Is a Long Drive for Someone with Nothing to Think About. Some really obscure people prefer The Lonesome Crowded West.

But Moon rides my gusty bus.

3: just text somebody that you thought about getting that album and your carrier will figure it out, deliver it to your phone, and charge you.

This looks like an exciting new variation on hangman to me.

you know what's even harder? trying to make people go to fucking rehab. "I never want to drink again." "I don't got 17 days." etc. etc.

Speaking, I guess, of music, a friend wants to go see The Book of Mormon.

[Visits stubhub.com.]

Oh, come on. For that kind of money, Trey Parker ought to follow me around and narrate my day in Cartman's voice.

For what it's worth, it is really good. (Though I should probably shut up since we had lottery tickets.)

It occurs to me that Cartman would find my average day boring and lame.

I have a ticket for Book of Mormon in about a month. Friends who saw it described it in a way that makes it clear I will most likely find it grating.

I thought that (that I would find it grating) after reading the NYer review.

You know what is more grating? "A Christmas Tradition" holiday revue at the Savannah Theater. Yup, that's Savannah in Georgia. Let's just say I had better be getting Good Daughter Points for this entire trip.

A day in the life of a Flippanter typically lacks both Cheesy Poofs and Powdered Donut Pancake Surprise.

16.1: Also the impression I had after reading what I think must have been a NYRB review.

I may be able to induce derauqsd to talk to me again now that I got my stuff out of storage and found that I didn't have a fish set at all, but an ivory-handled...fruit cutlery set? my mom says? what, to eat half-pears or something? or dessert set. still probably anathema but maybe less so.

"It's a musical by the guys behind "South Park""?

Is "Rim/snare/kick" the new "marry/fuck/kill"?

22: I feel slightly scandalized.

Also, I believe the classic order is "Fuck, Marry, Kill."
