Many people have asked if Todd and I are registered anywhere. We are not. We’ve been living together over six years and need nothing. Honestly, the only thing I want at this point in my life is an Atari 2600.
(but thank you so much for asking. you all are pretty great and sweet)

I have resurrected my first ever domain name.
Albeit with a subdomain.
Yep, I brought asmallvictory.net back to life.
All my serious writing, including my music stuff and 3am ramblings, will go there. Tumblr will be just for fun stuff and photos and posting songs.
I started it off by putting that National review there.
This was the domain I grew up with, blogging wise. It will always be home to me and I don’t know why I didn’t...

The National, Trouble Will Find Me: Music to Dance...
I have a weird relationship with the music of The National. Most of the music grips me in places I don’t want to be touched, yet I listen over and over again, letting it not only touch me but embrace me, pull me in close and whisper in my ear. Sometimes it’s ok and I get a certain comfort from it, like somebody sitting quietly next to you, just handing you tissues as you mourn a loss....
The new National album has simultaneously broken...
Probably have about 5,000 words on it after I digest it again.
Also, I am enjoying it on a level at which I’ve yet to enjoy any new QOTSA song. I find this sort of worrisome.

obitoftheday asks: What do you think happens if Yahoo buys Tumblr? And why do we all agree that it seems like a bad idea?
» SFB says: I think Tumblr starts monetizing itself more effectively. For years they’ve tried to do everything but the obvious, but the problem is, they’ve turned down…
So we are all going to just pretend to ignore the fact that turning Tumblr...

i, for one, welcome our new yahoo overlords
A couple of weeks ago there was this article about David Karp and tumblr and it made the rounds here, with people commenting on the part about Karp surrounding himself with his five current favorite employees and ignoring everyone else. Everyone said it was typical Karp, how he’s insulated and doesn’t listen to the ideas and concerns of others, especially tumblr’s users.
So now...

the cake is not a lie
Todd’s mother emailed me about our wedding cake.
Apparently she ordered a wedding cake to be served at the place we are having dinner after our quiet little ceremony.
I never even thought about a cake. But of course you have to have a wedding cake, right? I mean, what’s a wedding without a cake?
Somehow this little detail has stuck in my head since I read the email yesterday and my...

Up at 3:30 with a case of the what-ifs.
Also, starving.
Forgot to eat dinner last night.
Anyone want to go to the diner for some pancakes and coffee?
Fine. Yogurt and overthinking it is.
