I may actually, really, no for reals, trim my fl. It's the coms that are killing me. I suppose, if I was the kind of person that understood being organized on ANY level whatsoever I'd make a no-coms filter. There's probably even a greasemonkey script for this. But I am too dumb to know anything about that stuff.

Holy shit, it's the 27??? Oh jesus. I have so much work to do before I go to Tennessee....HOLY SHIT. Ok, I have a week. Breathe, breathe. And there's a 23K word Frank/Gerard fic I stumbled across in delicious calling my name. It's always thus, isn't it.

I'm dling the Empires record. Let's see what lollerific nonsense I'll have to say about that. Let's work in another window until I listen to it...ok, someone is gonna have to explain this band to me. Who are they and why is everyone suddenly all over them? In other music related news, all I've listened to is Midtown for the last span of hamster time I can't measure because I work from home and have no internal clock. Oh, I see. Jenn just explained everything: "who cares, tom conrad is pretty." This is the Tom Conrad band. Carry on, folks, carry on.

I have some pretty stunningly navel gazing meta about Midtown/Cobra Starship, the progression of post-modernism, generational shifts and adulthood, cynicism and what it means to come to terms with the reality of post-9/11 consumerist America, but I will probably just go on and on to Jenn about it because she doesn't dare contradict me and I'm overly invested in it like it's a real academic paper and I can't handle dissent from what is CLEARLY the Truth. I probably will write it since I can't get it out of my head, but it won't get published here. It's itching at me because it's all so fucking personal, and I think it is for a lot people I know/have known over the years. Maybe I'll talk to JJ and "interview" her about her own similar feelings (I haven't consulted her, but I already know she agrees with my sentiment). Amusingly, I had to come back around to this kind of shitty punk music to get personal about music again. I think that says all it needs to about my life trajectory. Being a stereotype is amusing and self-congratulatory. Oh, sincere cynicism, my old companion!

My entire fl is now David Cook, the LJ election thing (which I don't actually comprehend, but I have like 15 journals so if someone babied me I could vote over and over), and this Empires record. I sort of feel like the David Cook and Empires thing is intersectional.

God, I think there was crank in my coffee today.
