I get this sweet window of time where I can write and shit, then it’s back to the craziness — story of my life, I suppose. I have a big test in ten days, the end of a fiscal year at work, a radio show to resume, freelance crapola and the course I’m a TA for begins tomorrow night. This list excludes my daily life activities or the home improvement projects I’ve stupidly scheduled for the warmer months. That said, if I had endless amounts of leisure time I wouldn’t know what the hell to do with myself. But no more excuses!

» NYC Pop Fest is this weekend, folks. My favorite bowling partners Brown Recluse Sings, secret skatepunks Surefire Broadcast and JEK’s brother’s band Gritty Midi Gang are amongst the cream of the twee crop on these lineups. Props of the Pop Fest folks for curating the shit out of this — I only wish it was this past weekend to conflict/coincide with the No Fun Fest. Can you imagine Merzbow vs. Mitch Easter?!?! I can. No rly. Srsly.

» Why can’t I stop listening to AC/DC? And is it just me, or is there really no AC/DC for sale in the iTunes store?

» In other news, I am just really, really bummed that Veronica Mars wasn’t renewed for another season — another conflicted, headstrong female character bites the dust. And what is up with their lineup next season — Gossip Girl? At least in VMars case (and Gilmore Girls, too), we watched as its characters weaved in and out of these worlds; this new series looks to be like a full-on, raging WASP fetish. Way to go CW, now I understand why Univision whoops your ass ratingswise.
