did i really not post here at all during february? talk about a leap month, get it? get it???

not much to report; everything i’ve been doing lately could be summed up with the phrase “trying to shake the winter off my back.” the next two months are going to be filled with travel (austin, seattle, philadelphia) and baseball (spring training in hd, the last opening day at shea, whatever else espn will let me have). right now there are many records i really like (headlights, beach house, m83, violet vector) and many things i want to do (buy patio furniture, go to a financial planner, figure out how to install the long-awaited crossword puzzle program on my iphone, learn how to make a good cream puff) and even a few movies that i want to see.

speaking of movies: i continue to be amused by the abject ridiculousness of squeaky-wheel types who claim that anyone who holds the (very true) opinion that diablo cody is a one-note hack are “woman haters” of any stripe. note to those sensitive little flowers: did you ever notice that it’s only “hating” when it’s people critiquing things that you like? even if those critiques have, like, valid points within? honest to blog, indeed.

    I bought a new TV during February. In SD, it looks like the woman on Diablo Cody’s tattoo is wearing leg warmers. In HD, you can correctly see that it’s rope.
