the washington post's going out gurus, whom i talked about when i mentioned them dissing local music blogs last week (not enough hip hop or go-go or stuff beyond indie rock, cliqueish, agenda-driven), have officially launched their own entertainment blog. their first music post? a blurb about a neko case concert in baltimore.

anyway. i shall be reading!

UPDATE: in a weird turn of events, kyle notes that the neko case posting has been taken down, while all the other original posts remain up. no idea why.
UPDATE2.0: apparently taken down because "the show was yesterday." okay. this is extremely boring, so i'll stop now.

tommy is one step further along in the march of death today: he's just turned 25! so leave him a big wet sloppy comment kiss to congratulate him on his official entrance to the mid-twenties club. welcome! really, it's not that bad, i promise.

the post sez:

TODAY'S BIRTHDAY (February 15). You are wealthy in love this year. The investment of quality time and affection that you put into friends and family yields the true gold, so don't bury yourself in work. Romance thrives when there are challenging shared goals at stake. Singles are infatuated and then get the prize in June. Some marry in July. Love signs are Scorpio and Aries. Your lucky numbers are: 20, 1, 12, 32 and 14.

don't worry, though, tommy. i'm not going to spring a surprise wedding on you this july. (that's because i've always wanted a fall wedding!)

celebrations, cake and liver disease are in the process of being arranged; we shall keep you informed.
