Emily Haines - Reading In Bed (Remix).
“With all the luck you’ve had, why are your songs so sad? Sing from a book you were reading in bed and took to heart. All of your lives on lend, reading in bed.”
Take one of Emily Haines’ saddest songs, add a music box and some guitar riffs, and you get a pretty impressive remix. Forget reading in bed; listen to music and blog in bed.
Most hipsters aren't afraid of the Conficker virus, because they use Macs.
-Anatomy of a Hipster #86.
Heard so much about this Conficker virus on CNN and around the web. Thank god I switched to a Mac two years ago. Then again, it’s not like I download a lot of crazy shit on my computer.
The sun is finally out, and while I do appreciate it appearing, the glare makes it hard to do artwork on Photoshop.
Life moves too fucking fast these days. I kinda like it.

Chicago Tumblr Meetup?
We (the royal we) have been talking of another Chicago Tumblr Meetup (version 3.0) on Friday, April 24th. We were thinking of gathering at some bar like Crocodile, Flat Iron, Danny’s, The Continental, Wilde, etc… but we (the royal we, again) want to hear from you. Of the choices above (and feel free to make your own suggestions), where should we have the next meetup?
One day I’ll marry a girl like Angela Petrelli…
On the DMV...
Everything they say about the DMV is right…
So I drove all the way to Wheaton’s DMV to get my driver’s license renewed. Although that particular DMV is called an “express center,” I wait 30 minutes in line as a single person *slowly* attends to about 15 people. By the time it’s my turn, they say I have to take a written test. Mind you, it vaguely says on my renewal license letter that I “may” need to take a written exam “if applicable.” Well, apparently the secretly coded “6” on the top of my letter says I need to.
On top of that, they say that the center only holds tests on Tuesday, and the guy tells me to drive to Lombard. By the time I drove to Lombard’s DMV, it was closed. FML.
Fuckin’ DMV. Apparently, from a vaguely-worded letter, I have to take a written test, Wheaton doesn’t have tests today & Lombard’s closed…
Off to the DMV to renew my license. If I don’t return in 24 hours, assume I am dead.
