– Anais Nin After crying over my lost job yesterday, I did what I hadn’t done in a long time, read. I went to the library and picked up three different works by Nin and started salivating over her words. I’m going to take advantage of this respite for however long it lasts (hopefully not...

Me to Random Guy with his Girlfriend: Could you like, move ten inches? It's just that, you're not a small guy and you've decided to plant yourself on my feet.
Guy's Girlfriend: Are you gonna dance?

Guy's Girlfriend: Why aren't you dancing?

Guy's Girlfriend: Why would you come to a Girl Talk show if you're not gonna dance?
Me: This isn't Girl Talk. (long pause) It's Dan Deacon.

I intern for a music magazine, and we receive something like 50-75 new cds a week, which has only increased my thirst for new...
