Damien Jurado - Working Titles
...
Congratulations! And shameless family-promotion. →
So, my mom started writing a few years ago, and she puts me to shame. Or rather, she should serve as inspiration.
She just epublished her first book, Another Place on the Planet. And it’s only $4.99 for Kindle! She says there will be a paperback out on Amazon in a week or two. Maybe you’d like to buy a little light reading?
Having read a couple of the drafts I was surprisingly...
You're amazing but... I thought we agreed that no...

I saw these pants in “feeling pepper & green” on Oh Joy!.
Let me walk you through my thought process: “Oh look! A model has short pants and big thighs, like me!” “But my pants are higher wasted.” “Wait. Are her pants pleated?” “Are her pants pleated!” “I thought we all agreed that pleated pants...
Yankees pick up Ibanez →
Total bummer.
I just read this morning that he was still unsigned, and while he may not be entirely missed as a player he would be totally missed for his presence in the clubhouse.
And now the Yankees have him for a year and $1.1 million.
That’s a heartbreaker, folks, a real heartbreaker.
“RIP” is a little much, but “We’ll miss you” isn’t quite enough....
Streaming: Damien Jurado, "Maraqopa" →
Happy Valentine’s Day: The A.V. Club is streaming Damien Jurado’s new album, Maraqopa, which comes out next week on Secretly Canadian.
He’s playing in Philly in May, just a heads up.
All things Dinosaur →
Coujo did a pinterest search for dinosaurs. Go ahead, browse through them all. It’s Friday afternoon. You’ll feel better about life.
I have the cookie cutters, I need to get on the dino-shaped sandwiches. (Pinterest: Margaret Kosbob)
And the dino jewelry. (Pinterest: Ene Lagunzad)

And why don’t I have a dinosaur print dress?! (Pinterest: Jenna...
You're amazing but... those are expensive...
So, this exists: Brownie of the Month Club by Gilt Taste.
Amazing: They make (acclaimedly) the best fudgey yummy brownies from top-of-the-line ingredients. And the pictures do look really good.
Also amazing: They are delivered to your door every month for the length of your subscription (3 or 6 months). You get a different kind every month.
But they only come once a month. And it’s...
You're amazing but... you're so amazing you sold...
Le sigh.
Sharon van Etten sold out for her Philly show next Friday. Sold Out. I was planning to pick up a ticket this weekend. This makes me have a sad face, a very very sad face.
Kind of like this cat. And I don’t even like pictures of cats, but this cat had sad face that best expressed my kind of sadness.
You're amazing but... I said it was nice to meet...
So, this is from nearly two months ago, but it seems that today I am on a kick of reading really bad dating communications (or maybe it’s because I’m reading Jezebel for the first time) and this one is really ridiculous in that over-the-top-amazing way.
FromJezebel:
“Lauren” met “Mike” one night at the New York Philharmonic. Little is known about the exact...
You're amazing but... you belong on okCupid.
I found this gem of an internet dating email today on Jezebel (yes, it’s from July, but it’s still amazing). I dated a few guys (probably 20 years younger) who operated this way except without expressly saying it, and this made me shake my fist at them again although it’s been years. It’s really tricky when he doesn’t send you an email telling you he’s a...
