Petty Concerns
Okay, get ready. If for some reason you are standing up while using the internet, sit your pants down, mister.
There’s going to be another Sex and the City movie.
“This cannot be!” you say. “The last one was horrific, and the actresses are, let’s face it, getting older.” Ah, but lads and ladies, we must remember that, though a truly hideous film, it was a financial success. They’re gonna milk this cash cow till she keels over and dies—in her four hundred dollar manolo blahniks. And what could be better than to ADD BRITNEY SPEARS?
Oh, and the new film’s going to be even longer.
Now that my long-ass break is almost over, I will share my big regret: not venturing up to the Twin Cities. I wish I had visited St Paul friends, and I really wish I’d made it to some Cartoonist Conspiracy meetings. I had a great time when I went over the summer, and I had hoped to go back. There’s always next summer.
A less regretful element of this break is how much time I spent making music. In that vein, I would like to inform you that I’ve put up FOUR more of my songs in the music section. Shitty, shitty recordings as always, but you can still appreciate the lyrics. The songs are 100 Proof, I’m Not Going to Watch Your Sitcoms, Fuck Buddy, and Settle Down (that last one is actually an older recording, but I figured I needed at least one sappy song to go with the snarky ones).
As a general note: I don’t have flickr, or twitter, or any other girly-sounding networking devices…but I do have facebook. So if you want to see pictures of my life, or hear other bland updates of my bland goings-on, you are welcome to friend me there. Unless you’re an asshole.

The high schoolers sound a LOT like Hampshire College students.

I like to think that I look like that second middle school kid pretty much all the time. Except I have boobs.
Plane reservations have occurred! Aliya and I (along with Joe and our friend Julie who we lived with last year) are going to be arriving in Ireland on May 26 and departing on June 9th. “Why Ireland?” you ask. “Why not Ireland!?!?!” We scream drunkenly (Not that we’re drunk. That’s just how we scream). “But also, we have to go to a wedding!” Wedding is on June 6th, the bride arrives on the 2nd. So between May 26th and June 2nd is our bopping around Europe time.
We haven’t planned where that bopping will take us – Germany is a possibility, but Spain is a greater possibility, and personally I’m pushing for Finland. Finland! Deciding is going to take us awhile. But basically, you go and enjoy Berlin and if we’re going to show up there we will alert you! And if not, well, we’ll alert you to that too. You know, in case you want to visit us in Spain. Or Finland.
…enjoy Berlin!

Chris, as my mother would say, you lie like a rug.
Nate: Heh, that one’s an in joke, I guess. A super cool Northfield one.
“Carls” go to Carleton (http://www.carleton.edu/).
“Oles” go to St Olaf (http://stolaf.edu/).
