We Are Providence

This might be one of the most succinct pieces on my hometown. And to think that I found it on tumblr.

peartree:

I won’t kid you, on average there are more rainy days than Seattle, and lately it feels like we’ve taken a commanding lead in that department.  The drivers are terrible and the roads which they travel upon are shattered, pothole laden, tire killers.  There is no parking anywhere, and for those who try, they often return to where they left their vehicle to find it either towed or ticketed.  The politics are completely lopsided, and psychologically incorrect.  Almost the entire state legislature is made up of people who call themselves Democrats, yet many of their ideals align more closely with folk who style themselves as Republicans.

I’ve seen this picture floating around tumblr for the last few days… am I the only one who thinks this baby sloth is much less cute than downright creepy?

Weezer feat. Sara Bareilles

I Want You To (acoustic)

I’m torn by my love of the older Weezer, an indie crush on Sara Bareilles based on that one song where’s pretty adorable the whole time (is that every song?  I dunno), and then there’s this song about Rivers not being able to seal the deal and telling the girl that he doesn’t have all night, because really, emo men with thick rimmed glasses have things to do. What does that even mean, he doesn’t have all night?  He’s going to keep up with her because he’s desperate for her to make a move, but he doesn’t want to because he feels awkward about it, so he’s hoping that by simply following her around, she’ll figure it out.  But hopefully soon, because he doesn’t have all night.

But the song is catchy!  AGH.

I already loved this song, but with the he said/she said angle, it’s pretty much the story of my life.

I nearly fell over when the bartender told me the price… and not because I was drunk.

I am at a bar in my parents’ new redneck town and there’s a country cover band with a tone-deaf lead singer doing Toby Keith’s “As Good As I Once Was.”
