I find this rather patronizing….
“Long paragraphs are easier to read online with occasional line breaks. Your opinion will be enhanced by pressing “Enter” twice after every third or fourth sentence. “
That was encountered as Epinions comment on my sparkling pj harvey review. While one can occasionally get lost in thick paragraphs of prose, i shudder to think that the rules for web-authoring include the phrase “Press enter twice after every third or fourth sentence.” >sigh

Reserving judgment on the new U2 disc until i get to know it a bit better. Of course, that would have to happen tomorrow if i’m going to be able to get my review done in time for this week’s paper. The album just doesn’t hit me as hard as i feel it should; i’m not sure if it’s a result of a general apathy to U2 or the fact that the album is mediocre. Maybe after suffering through Pop i would actually appreciate it…

How i can tell i’m in college: i walked into my kitchen looking to raid the fridge, but before i made it that far i saw a two hour-old piece of pizza and thought to myself “that is exactly what i want right now,” despite the fact that i have about five pounds of various thanksgiving leftovers in my fridge. Yep, college is all about the room-temperature pizza. Mmmmm.

The samples that appear on Janet Jackson albums speak very highly of her reputation in the music industry. Aside from her multiple Supreme’s and Kool and the Gang references on Janet, she also notably uses a Joni Mitchell classic and covers Rod Stewart on Velvet Rope. The fact that she so effortlessly and seamlessly combines these legendary artists’ work with her own proves that in the end she is certainly the most talented Jackson and the only one that still matters. And this comes from a kid who was raised on the behind the scenes of thriller video.

It’s not as though the show is about me, but i think it just makes me realize that i have no right to be so annoyed that everyone thinks i’m gay, because i really do send out all the signals. And, i don’t mean to… i mean, it’s obviously not a gay thing, but a culture thing – i grew up listening to Madonna and Culture club, and i gesture when i talk, and i take shots at fashion and hair-dos. But, what does that all mean, really? I make snap assumptions about people’s sexual preference based on their small habits too, but i don’t assume anything about them. Those are two different things entirely.
