There are least a half-dozen U2 songs that literally give me goosebumps whenever I hear them. I can't think of any other band I can say that about...maybe a couple of old ones by Marillion.

Am I being an airhead, or is there no longer a function to sellcheck a post, when there used to be?

So...Bare Minerals Blemish Therapy: I don't know what's in it, and for some reason it smells like the stuff I use to fertilize my orchids, but it works. Expensive. But, pretty much worth it.

I'm not sure whether this playlist will embed, or play if you don't have a Rdio account, but it's worth a shot. Nearly 6 hours of Halloween(ish) awesomeness...

2011 was not a stellar year for customer service. (I still intend to make a post about that, going into more detail.) But here's an abbreviated list of my experience with companies this holiday season.

Nice:
See's Candies (the best)
Sephora
Amazon
Crate & Barrel
DSW
Hulu
U.S. Postal Service

Meh:
Pottery Barn
Godiva
Macy's

Naughty:
Continental Airlines
Enterprise (rental cars)

Going to hell:
Best Buy

Mother Monster returns

In three words, how would you describe Lady Gaga?

Why, are her people doing a focus group on LJ?

Either this one...

Or this one...

They just don’t make ‘em like they used to. No seriously...do they even make ‘em anymore?

Higher state of consciousness

What movies do you like to watch and what kind of munchies do you like to scarf down when you're enjoying some free time?

Does Shiraz count as a "munchie?"

Just trying to string together YouTube videos to recreate last weekend's Duran Duran show at the Fillmore. How did we survive before the interwebs?

Have a drink on me

If you were going to make a signature drink that was named after you, what would you put in it?

Reply 729

Vodka, more vodka, and something raspberry flavored...and of course, one of those little sword-shaped toothpicks skewering a lime wedge and marashino cherry.
