Thank you to scatteredsleep  for posting about this awesome article on why Taylor Swift is a horrible role model and did not deserve her Grammys (and why Lady Gaga totally should have won).  You should totally go read it, but in case you are pressed for time, here are some choice exerpts:

I downloaded "(Do You Wanna Date My) Avatar" from iTunes earlier today.  There were two options:  the mp3, which I downloaded, or the music video...which was marked as "clean."  I'm used to seeing censored songs on iTunes, but how did they censor a song that is entirely about virtual nerd sex??  (I didn't download or watch it.)

Ellis was here last Wednesday, and Katie finally sent me pictures.  ( Read more... )

I woke up this morning at 11am to good food smells and voices in the kitchen.  Dragged myself out of bed and to the kitchen, and was greeted by a very cheery Heidi in an apron, making pancakes ( Read more... )

1.  Get back into shape...for playing the violin.  It sounds goofy, I know.  But between practicing and hour yesterday and an hour today, my back hurts and is full of knots, my neck has a knot in it, there's a chinrest bruise on my chin, my left shoulder hurts, and both upper arms hurt.  Absolutely pathetic.  However, my playing is not nearly as ( Read more... )
