- I'm fairly drunk right now, which seems like a totally appropriate condition in which to update my LJ after months. Dudes, it will be my 12th LJversary in about a week. I'm learning to accept fandom's move to Tumblr, but we've been here a long-ass time ( Read more... )

So I watched the video of 1D covering Teenage Dirtbag and then I died because my heart exploded into a million sparkles. Though I wonder if any of the audience knew the song or if it was like the time Dashboard Confessional covered El Scorcho and there were only about five of us singing along ( Read more... )

One day I will stop listening to 1D's Over Again. I don't know when that day will be.

But this is not about that! Okay, so, Rod called me one day and was like, "read Battle Scars." (Don't read the Amazon reviews if you don't want to be spoiled.) And I was like, "does it have to do with reproduction of systems of power, critique of gender/race/ ( Read more... )

- I have a cold. I always get a cold about a week before my period (no, I have no idea why) but I cannot afford to have one now when I need to cook. I'm going to break out my mom's old face masks. Also, I'm loading up on Zicam, because it's what my mom's former doctor recommended, and when a leading thoracic oncologist who routinely treats ( Read more... )

- I'm banning myself from all political news until late tonight. I'm just going to do work and ignore all things political because I'm ridiculous about politics and it makes me nervous. Seriously, insipid_paragon spent two weeks with me in October 2008 and I think I spent more time reading Nate Silver's blog posts than I did talking to her. The way she and my ( Read more... )

- Blocking Tumblr, LJ, and a bunch of other sites yesterday gave me the time to read a book and a half and cook dinner for six people. And only a little withdrawal ( Read more... )

( totally accurate picture of my life right now )

- So, people keep blogging about obsessive teen girls and boy bands and I sort of want to say, "please stop jacking my dissertation topic," but I'm also kind of relieved that there still isn't anything showing up in the academic world, and also a little happy that there's some analysis I can cite, even if it doesn't, like, offer a thoughtful ( Read more... )

Justin Bieber just descended with angel wings. I am drunk enough to think I imagined that, but it's actually happening. Parents keep asking me where my kids are, and I tell them I'm a grad student researching teen pop and they're intrigued. I'm really kind of afraid that I'll be drunk at the 1D concert next year and just be like, "I'm here because ( Read more... )
