Don't know what city you want to live in? Go to www.findyourspot.com to help you decide. Apparently, I'm supposed to live in Baltimore, Maryland, New Haven, Connecticut, or Portland, Oregon. My top 20 seems to direct me towards the west coast.

So in class today, we discussed the future of the accounting profession. Doesn't sound interesting yet, but just wait! One reading we had talked about the future of education and how it doesn't look like it will improve any time soon. Apparently, a possible major threat this may impose upon us: that "the under-educated will become have-nots who will rebel against the well-educated elite, including CPAs."

I believe Jeff Hanson, also on Kill Rock Stars, is opening for the Decemberists. That concert should be awesome.
MIFFLIN BLOCK PARTY UPDATE:
I stopped by the station to check in with Jamie, the promotions director. They will come over on Saturday around 1:30ish to set up on our balcony. There will be DJs spinning from 2-5, and Rob's band (she didn't know what kind of band but will let us know) will play from 5-6.
I was thinking to maximize people being outside drinking and not in our apartment, we should talk to the girls downstairs about using their porch, perhaps to have the keg on? Or perhaps have the keg in the backyard (I can't remember if its totally fenced in or not)? Then people could crowd around outside watching the DJs and bands do their thing.
I also think we should take full advantage of $35 Natty Ice from University Liquor. It's just too good to pass up- free delivery and pick up! We could have secret beer upstairs for us. Maybe the discount 24 pack of Miller Lite, ha. The perks of living on the 400 block of Mifflin.

well, neko case is a babe. since i have the new pornographers down on my top ten list, i might have to vote for her...
nicole, i am a big fan of the decemberists cd. i can't wait for that show. do you know who is opening for them?
i am currently "writing" a 20 page paper. and by "writing" i mean i add a poorly worded sentence every hour. it's a slow slow process.

Who is indie rock's hottest babe? Playboy wants to know! And see them naked! Cast your vote here. Neko Case is currently in the lead. Vote for Caithlin De Marrais from Rainer Maria to support Madison. Or actually- don't.

I was listening to Karl's show on 91.7 this morning, and he played "There, There" from the forthcoming Radiohead cd. I liked the song a lot, though I'm a little confused how he had it. When is it coming out?
As far as your open question, I'll take drinking a margarita outside over class any day. However, I wouldn't be reflecting on anything except how cool and refreshing my margarita is.
(It was a lovely party. Yes, a lovely party.)

open question: do you think it is really necessary to attend class the last two weeks of the semester? i mean, i figure i'll be fine if i just show up for the final, you know? i have other important, pressing things i must do...like fly my kite. or reflect on the last four years of school (which must be done while drinking a margarita outside).

Dysfunctional Singles Find Each Other
BLOOMFIELD HILLS, MI—After nearly 10 years of searching, clingy, neurotic Ryan Dollett, 31, has finally found his soulmate in passive-aggressive, emotionally distant Amy Sunderland, 28, sources reported Monday. "I want to be with Amy every single second, I just love her so much," Dollett said. "She has so many amazing qualities, but I think the best is the way she never challenges me." Said Sunderland: "Ryan is quite the catch. I'm sure once we're married, I'll grow to love everything about him, even the terrible way he dresses."
My future?

Apparently, blogging from Grainger Library is not allowed. But it's really good to be busy again.
I only listened to the Cursive cd once through while reading the Nanny Diaries, so I wasn't paying too much attention. Very Saddle Creek though, that's for sure! They should have a Cursive/Bright Eyes etc. tour, and afterwards everyone will cry and slit their wrists.

well, i definitely want to give an ole listen to the decemberists. as for the concert on may 10, why yes. yes, i am free. hmmm. i noticed you said it will provide an opportunity to relax before finals. actually, it will be an opportunity to relax before FINAL, for i only have one. at least i am only planning on going to one, so i better only have one...otherwise no graduation.
I've burned the Decemberists and I think they are excellent . . . upon review of the concert page, they are coming to the Catacombs May 10 and I highly suggest we go. That can be our weekend of music for me to celebrate the end of my final exam (May 9) and for you to relax before your finals!
In other PFFR news, my parents listened to the last half-hour of our show, and my mother really liked the Grandaddy song.

Speaking of the Supreme Court!!! I went out for lunch today for work and Rehnquist, yes oh yes, Chief Justice Rehnquist was sitting only two tables away!!!!! He was tall and wearing a suit- no flashy robes and was dining with an unknown man. It was very sureal and had the feeling of having acheived life's ambition/purpose. I wanted to run over and..do..I don't know what, but somehow managed to contain myself and not stare too obsessively or get myself arrested. He ordered a hamburger and a side of coldslaw- his usual. Which I learned is sometimes accompanied by a Miller Lite a ciggeratte. Which I think is so tough and cool and very cowboy-esque.
That's all the v. exciting DC news for now!!!!
Kate!!!!

Spoon is on 120 Minutes right now!! They just played the Everything Hits at Once video, which was awesome- it was some sort of animation ("rodoscopy" or something according to Jim Shearer) and really fit the song.
Liz, our mission this summer: see Spoon. See Spoon play Everything Hits at Once. Die happy.

This is Nicole and Liz, drunkenly blogging on Tori's birthday. Tonight we went to Paul's Club, where we paid $1 to play Built to Spill, the Beta Band, and the Beastie Boys, only to hear BTS and half of the Beta Band, before they called last call. Boo to that. We also met a boy from Oklahoma who claimed to be a "hipster." What a lame hipster he was. He was from Oklahoma, wearing some red and white shirt a la Jack White, EMO glasses (his words, not ours), and claimed to hang out with the Flaming Lips. Sadly, he was only 19 years old. Lame.

Hey everybody! My sincere thanks for an invitation to your blogger club. I feel so cool. I always wanted internet friends and communication that went beyond instant messaging but never knew it was possible until now! Truely amazed by life, once again. Also amazed that someone in the office seceretly replaced by old mousepad with one shapped like a golf green. What does this all mean? - Katie (Lizzie's friend in DC) Perhaps can be Washington correspondent/anaylst (my life dream) for I hate pants.
And it's still under construction!!! Once I finish my roll of film, I'll put up a picture of Liz and I in the studio. More to come.
I'm about to take my cable modem back to Time Warner, so I will be incommunicado until I return to Madison around 5ish?? tomorrow. I'll give you guys a call then about going out for T's birthday!
p.s. T, your present is in the mail, so it will be late. If I'm lucky, I'll get it in time for the rousing bowling fun.

Hi. I'm Beth and this is my first posting. I just wanted to take this opportunity to encourage Liz to go to Chicago for law school so that she will be close to Madtown. In the same time zone anyhow. But that's biased...I hear Oregon is lovely too. Oh one more thing, please play some Interpol on the next show :) much love Liz!
I have just returned from a haircut and a trip to Cheapo. My hair is shiny and soft, and I bought a used copy of this Saddle Creek sampler. So far I've heard some Faint and Rilo Kiley, and I am pleased. I am also pleased by the copy of the New Pornographers "Mass Romantic" that I recently burned. Neko Case is pretty cool. I wish I'd seen her when she came last fall. Why didn't we go again?
In other music news, I'm watching what appears to be a Making the Video for a new Xtina Aguilera video, "Fire". She has a big bird's nest on her head, or maybe that's her hair.

There is a big scrape underneath one of the headlights, but it didn't dent. So I'll probably not do anything since it would cost more than its worth to fix. Stupid snow in April.
Its Sunday and I'm up watching 120 minutes!! A Rainer Maria video is on. I can do this because I don't have to work tomorrow!!! Huzzah!
Give me the update on the Pro-Choice Rocks concert tonight. Was Tori able to run it soundly after puking all over herself???

hey! you ran your car into the garage? is the car hurt? what did your parents say about that one?
so...i was in chicago today, and i was walking down mich. ave. when i saw a huge line of police in their riot gear. i continued walking until i reached the intersction (where the line stopped) and i turned down that street, only to find a huge anti-war protest marching in my direction. i thought "oh boy! tons of police in riot gear + tons of protestors = good times." i was thinking the police were going to ambush this huge protest. so i waited while the protestors marched to where the police where secretly hidden. i thought some crazy shit was going to go down. but nothing happened. the police just stepped in line with the protestors. so this peace rally was peaceful. how boring.

I think that's worse the the robot. The avacado definitely made me think of Maggie. I think upon my return we should have fajitas and guac.
I suppose at some time we should talk about music on our blog? Eh, we can get to that later once random fan emails start pouring in after we talk about our new website on the show. I'm inviting Sam as the Perfect Face resident meteorologist, perhaps we should have something weather-related on our site? I would classify today as "Groin-grabbingly cold." We should have a weather scale, like the terrorist color scale, with the bottom (blue) being "groin-grabbingly cold."
Man, if we'd started this blog earlier I'd have SO MUCH to do at work every day!!!

I guarantee that in a few short weeks we will rival the DPC website as the best blogging site in town
