Dear Weblog,

I think we can all pretty much agree that you have seen better days. This is not to say that you won’t see other good days in the future, I just wanted to let you know that I know I’ve neglected you.

And I’m a little sorry. Not a lot sorry, but you know, a little.

You even lost a follower. I’m also a little sorry about that.

Dare I say that blogging has lost a bit of its je ne sais quoi? Maybe the cool kids are mostly tweeting now. Maybe they’re outside riding their beach cruisers, living on organic soda and overall artsy-ness. It’s hard to say, because I’ve mostly just been at the office, working.

There may be a time in the future when you’ve run your course, little blog. There may be a day when I have to pull you down. But for now, I think you’re still enjoying life, albeit at a much slower pace.

I hope that you’ll have faith in me and know I’m trying to be better…even though I know how you feel about “trying.”

Have a good weekend.

Oh, it’s only Tuesday?

…

Well then. Have a, you know, have a day.

Much Love,

Holly

I love Mondays.

I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.
I love Mondays.

If I keep saying it, will it come true?

Anyone with me? I hope your Monday is going swimmingly!

who's got a clever publicist?

zack's got a clever publicist.

slow news day.

so today i saw a headline that read:

“bret michaels injured at the tony awards”

with no report of his condition. which immediately begs the question:

“what was bret michaels doing at the tony awards?”

i want to go watch rushmore now.

did you know that the band coconut records is jason schwartzman's band?

i love it.

and him.

Hey Lloyd, I’m ready to be heartbroken.

This week, boyfriend and I went to a Camera Obscura concert. They’re definitely my favorite Scottish indie-pop band {worked hard to narrow that one down from my list of all the hundreds of Scottish indie pop bands I listen to}. There’s something special about a concert given by a band they don’t play on the radio playing a small venue in your town. When you’re at a concert like that, you can really feel like you’re among “your people” more than being at, say, a Sting concert.

Now, Sting puts on a good show. I’ve seen it with my own eyes and I know it to be true. But a sold out amphitheater that holds as many people as live in my home town lacks the intimacy of a standing-room-only club downtown. And saying you like Sting is like saying you like pizza or puppies. Like hello. Of course you do. You and me and everyone we know. You scream, we scream…

Saying you like Camera Obscura is like saying you like…well…something that not many people have heard of. You’ve really got something in common with people you stand with at one of their concerts.

Anyhoo, I put a playlist of their songs below. Listen up; you might fall in love.

You’re welcome.

Get down with your bad self and shake what your mother gave you.

Usually, I feel like being at the office all day cuts into the time I really need to build/maintain my street cred.

But then I hear the rockin’ hold music on my client’s conference bridge, and I feel like a bad ‘A’ again.
