Virtual Flaneurism

Who knew Nicki Minaj could be so meta?

Some good news on the LGBT rights front from abroad: The United Kingdom has elected to lift its discriminatory prohibition on blood donations from men who've had sex with men.

Sadly, this good news is tempered by the fact that the policy has been replaced with a one year deferral, which still effectively prohibits all men living an active gay lifestyle from donating blood. Still, this policy change is a step in the right direction, and any movement away from homophobia should is a good sign.

I realize I've been posting less lately, and a lot of it is music. I fully blame the internet, which has been doing a shitty job entertaining me with awkward cats.

Or maybe (I must now wonder) --- have I seen so many awkward cats that I'm desensitized?

This may be the worst epiphany of my life.

I was in Chicago last weekend, and spent a pathetic amount of time Shazaaming in Reckless Records, the yuppie hipster record store that inspired "High Fidelty." Needless to say, hipster jams may abound on the blog.

This whole video is funny, but the last clip is child gold.

This video/dance performance is epic! Start at 3:00.

Blogger just updated its interface, and it always seems to be on the internet, the interface is less user friendly than before. Mainly, I have to click extra buttons to get tags, the title lines don't save previous entries (which was always a huge boon for me, as I incrementally number most posts). Also, it looks like poop.

Clearly this is the best way to get people to clean up after their dogs.

In love with this:

How I can simultaneously have a crush on someone and hate them is troubling.
