How fucking great is the November Rain music video, even 16 years later? I was at the gym this morning and caught it on a random rock video channel that was playing.
Do you remember that moment in the zeitgeist timeline of young America when this video and both Use Your Illusion albums came out? That’s something I’ll miss as the world of big labels, big releases, and high budget music videos fades away forever. I’ve always thought there was something magical that comes with a whole culture getting excited about the same thing at the same time. #

When I bought my Prius, a good part of the reason was because I wanted to be a part of the “reduce global warming” effort. Even though I realized it was a drop in the bucket in comparison to the damage India and China do every day burning coal, I figured it was better to put the drop in the bucket than not.
But now I’m starting to see the benefits. Josh told me the other day that if he had my car, he’d save $50 going back and forth to the Hamptons. That means that I can buy approximately twenty-five things off the McDonalds dollar menu on my trip each way and still spend the same amount as him! Take THAT, Josh!

“ SNL is sort of like high school. The students change, but the teachers and the walls stay the same. In the past five or six years, however, it seems like the show has made a conscious effort to be young and hip. Which is sort of sad. A lot of pieces about celebrities and pop culture. George Meyer used to call it “television crawling up its own ass.

Aniz played this most hilarious mashup for me over the weekend.
So bad. I can’t decide if it hurts my brain or my ears worse.

In 2007, Amazon had a phenomenal year. Revenue grew 38 percent—is that the right number? Yeah, something like that.
Aren’t you supposed to know? I’m thinking a few years out. I’ve already forgotten those numbers.
