Why I'll Never Have A 'Most Popular Blog', or, how its time to buy a digital camera

Oh You're So Silent Jens

Dear Web Journal,

Today sucked. I lost four hours of work on a proposal. A proposal that was thrown at me (not literally) only a few days ago. A proposal that I know little to nothing about. A proposal that I had to work on over the weekend. A proposal that is due tomorrow. gaaaaaaaaaah. again: gaaaaaaaaaaaah.

in other news, there is one reason why i am a failed web journalist (okay, okay, i'll say it: 'blogger'). i am lazy. for example, friday i won a ticket from brooklynvegan to see a private acoustic performance of Editors somewhere in Midtown. it's true. i was really nervous about going by myself for some reason (I even made sure to bring deodorant), probably becuse everyone was bound to be uber-cool and unbelievably hot (because those are the kind of people that get to go to these things, right?) and know each other and stand around talking about uber-cool things, like, um, well i wouldn't know really, would I? but i had a good time anyway, especially since they had free Guinness and Harp, and everyone knows that alcohol makes you less nervous. er, right. so i drank my free beer, stayed away from the questionable looking free pizza, and awaited the show. but then! instead of running home to post the setlist and photos (sheesh, i don't even have a digital camera) i went out to meet a friend. And now here i am, monday night, in a relatively bad mood, and no one cares anymore. well here's the setlist anyway:

1. Sparks
2. Bullets
3. Bones (new track. woot.)

Uh, that's right. three songs. is that what usually happens at these things? in any case, i appreciated the gift bag. and the free beer. and the performance. AND i saw a guy i swear i've seen on Blue States Lose before. that's almost like a celebrity. well, ok, even i don't really think that, but it's still funny. and it means i'm infiltrating. first the dodgeball, then the private acoustic performance. what, dear friends, can possibly be next?

Love, Rachael
