“Starting in the Middle Ages, people who could not read used an X as a signature. They would kiss this mark as a sign of sincerity. Eventually, the X came to represent the kiss itself.”

- from this fluff piece about kissing. Interesting fact though!

TONIGHT. In case you’ve never been to an outdoor Mike & Molly’s show in the summer, let me sum up by saying they are categorically wonderful.

I just spent a couple hours of my Saturday morning compiling a playlist of some of my favorite hip-hop songs. Mostly clever and posi-hip-hops; I’m into those.

Edit: It should be noted that “First Things Last” can’t be listed as posi- because I think it’s the creepiest song ever and it scares the everloving motherscratching PISS out of me. But I’m weirdly preoccupied with it because of that. Like, one day I called Larry from work to find out what the name of it was. And I bought it on iTunes. And I put it on this mix. SEND HALP.

I moved this little bitty bird from the busy streetside sidewalk to the bushes this morning. I ran into Matt Fear and as we were standing there chatting I looked down and saw this little guy, totally staring at us like HELLO? A LITTLE HELP HERE??

I think the Amazon Kindle is a really innovative and wonderful idea, and would buy one for myself immediately if not for the fact that the thought of a world without actual, physical, tactile books is my own idea of a horrifying armageddon.

Update upon further thought: Scratch that shit. The Kindle is a bastardization. To not be able to flip back to dog-eared pages, to ink up great passages, to not be able to smell a book? Heresy.

“When you fax your resume addressed to the actual decision maker at the business, the secretary WILL ALMOST ALWAYS put it on that person’s desk. It looks like it has been requested or you know that person, and the secretary is afraid to goof up by throwing out something that the boss is expecting.”

- I just got a fax at work of a resume, addressed to the president of our company, from some 877 number. I Googled the number and found it was from the website jobsbyfax.com, which is a service that mass-faxes your resume to thousands of companies at once.
I like the description of me. Secretaries are such fools!
