Metro notes:
There’s a busker playing guitar at the Huntington station every evening. In my book he’s not a real busker because he plays with sheet music. But that’s neither here nor there. The point is - I’ve heard him play Wonderwall 3 out of the last 7 work nights. He’s also fond of Hallelujah because I’ve heard that one twice. Mix it up, dude! Also, learn...

The Benedict Cumberbatch Situation | Huffington... →
megsokay:
I feel like I could have probably put more thought into publishing this, I needed to get this out of my system so I can think about things other than Benedict Cumberbatch’s performance in Sherlock again.
It’s a great performance. Seriously.
It’s comforting to know I’m not the only one with this situation. We need a Cumberbatch Syndrome Support Group or something.

This fake boy band is in almost all of my memories from late middle school. We were really into them.
This is the most important news of the day! I loved everything about 2gether. The movie, the show, the cds, the parody-ness. I hope it happens!

So I stretched my publishing legs and sent them an explanation of the problem and what part needs to be...

Has anyone ever had their iPhone just delete all their music? I was downloading something from iTunes (while listening to something else) and then it froze for a second. Next thing I knew I’m looking at a blank playlist page. It’s bad enough as it is that my phone’s home button rarely works and won’t end calls.
“You remember last February? You cleared grocery stores out of all the essentials (and some of the extracurriculars). The fact that things were staying open was news. We’re getting a small fraction of that much snow today, so little that we won’t have to wait for a week for it to be cleaned up (which, ask any Northerner, was the problem last February, not the snow itself). This is what we...

“Why is Downton Abbey the realest show on TV? Is it because the Crawleys own Yorkshire like fox terriers own the Westminster dog show? Is it because of Ms. O’Brien, a lady’s maid so cold she could make ice crumpets in hell? Is it because in season one Thomas wanted to…
Heard this gem of a phone convo last night near my hotel. “We’re on the bridge. There’s like water underneath it. Like it’s just in the middle of the street.” She was carrying a lot of bags from Forever 21.
