Reading Lindsayism tipped me off about Maura Johnston being one of the editors behind the new Idolator blog! That's pretty cool, and it looks great. I like music. Actually that reminds me of a project. I was having dinner with a high school friend who's getting married and she asked for suggestions for the best wedding deejay music of all time. If you have any songs you'd recommend as favorites or know of any good lists that exist, email them to me. When I am not drowning in my own lack of sleep, I'll post a full list. My lineup started strong with Nikka Costa, hit a few obvious choices like "Life is a Highway" and "Spirit in the Sky," and ended on George McCrae. I'm clever and knowledgeable! But yeah, email me your suggestions and then we'll enjoy an awkward silence for a while.

As I was walking home tonight I decided that I am going to start a casual twice-monthly show at this bar I like where I interview people and make witty comments that everyone laughs at and talks about for the rest of the evening with their pinkies raised. So that's going to be pretty cool.

I saw Jon Friedman doing The Parkside Lounge last Monday, and he had this whole bit about talking to his dad, who was like, "Bear with me!" and Jon said for some reason he suddenly pictured his dad as a bear. And boy, it was so simple and great and he did such a good bear-dad voice, and then had such a nice clean callback with,"I'm working on a TV pilot...called 'Bear With Me,'" and I think about that a lot and it makes me laugh.

Also I was at this party and this guy was talking about getting a reacharound from an octopus. That makes me laugh less, but you kind of have to respect the concept.
