  • d.c. related desktop photos (via metblogs). i've got a cherry blossom one up right now.

  • sex advice from editorial assistants (via mediabistro toolbox)
    What do the following books say about a person's sexual characteristics:
    - A man currently reading The Da Vinci Code?
    Boring in bed, needs a treasure map to find his way to the crown jewels.

    - A woman reading He's Just Not That Into You?
    Desperate. If you need that many signposts to figure out if he likes you or not, it's bad news.

    - A woman reading The Five People You Meet in Heaven?
    More concerned with the afterlife than the here-and-now. Probably not that great a lay.

    - A man reading How to Talk to a Liberal if You Must?
    Run! He's going to want to do missionary the whole time . . . or anal.

  • this idlewild video - cute boy/cute girl alert (via carl)

  • the news that radiohead is back in the studio. don't fear the guitars, guys.

  • that new coldplay mp3 "talk" (i don't have a link, but tommy has it downloaded on the server at home and it's pretty good). i'm sure you can find it on the internets somewhere.

  • the fact that i didn't apply to columbia for j-school - MA? MS? one year? two year? i'm already confused. i'm going to be a great reporter.

  • thinking of all the fine wining and dining i'll be doing near and in cortona at the end of april - we finally booked roundtrip tickets for a fabulous $500. here's our delightful villa.

  • anticipating the premiere of nbc's The Office tonight. i'm sure it'll suck, but a girl can dream, right?

    • by the way

    The guys over at Begging To Differ have invited me to join their site, and I've said yes. So if you've always thought BTD's pretty good but could use more shrill, uninformed commentary, well, give it another look.

    I doubt my posting here will be affected much -- I'm planning to approach the BTD gig with a higher signal/noise ratio than here, the goal being 2 or 3 substantive posts a week. Plus the content will probably be more political. I'll probably cross-post technical items with this site.

    That's it! Return to your homes and families.
