Why I Oughtta

Washington Post article on Erin McKeown.

On Tilly and the Wall.

Decent, but not my best.

My fancy article on The Internationalist — a Weekend Pass cover story.

My article about Los Campesinos! in The Washington Post.

My Washington Post debut!

• I wrote this thing about The Brothers Size — a play at the Studio Theater.
• And this about The K of D at Woolly Mammoth.

This blog may be neglected, but it’s not like I’m not busy.

1. I interviewed Nellie McKay for Express (Weekend Pass cover story!). Click here if you wanna read it.
2. The Go! Team are featured in Pitchfork’s Guest List.
3. Hey kid lit people, here’s a new blog called Chicken Spaghetti.
4. PJ Harvey talks about her new album.
5. Tim Hardaway, bless his heart, wants to become an LGBT youth advocate.
6. Caribou Coffee raised its prices. This is not pleasing, as there is a friendly Caribou Coffee near my new job.

I’ve been worried about this prolonged cutesy phase I’ve been going through — the constant checks of Cute Overload, the twee pop, the pangs to raise multi-ethnic babies.

To cope with this issue and to parody it, I’ve created a new blog that will likely not be sustainable. But here it is.  One week’s worth, at least.

It’s called Oh My God I’m Turning Into Hello Kitty.

1. My article on Doubt, now playing at the National Theatre, is up on the WP Express Web site.
2. Stickles found an awesome picture of Jon Stewart. Three guesses as to why she was doing that.
3. Barbara Boxer is my new girlfriend. And how big of a dick is Inhofe?
4. Weeee!!!! You can download the SXSW performance by The Pipettes here.
5. I linked to this a long time ago, but it’s been updated a bunch. Kori from Mates of State is keeping this baby tour blog on babble.com. It’s pretty insightful as to what life on the road is like when you’ve got a wee blonde babe in tow.

So, I haven’t been able to access TiFaux all day. And I already did the news. And it’s going to be a while till that happens. Here it is on my blog.

• TV Guide has a pictorial of the sexiest stars.
• Prison Break gets renewed.
• ABC renewed basically all its shows — even Boston Legal and Supernanny.
• Larry “Bud” Melman, from old school Letterman, died.
• A “very angry” and “out of control” Jesse Metcalf (lawn boy from Desperate Housewives) is now in rehab.
• USA Today keeps track of The Office stars’ film projects.
• TV Land is going to have a show with the real life Laverne and Shirley — Cindy Williams and Penny Marshall. I thought they hated each other in real life. I’m probably making that up.
• O’Donnell v. Hasselbeck — once again.
• Trends among new pilots include big-name stars, soaps, British imports and (hey now!) DC-based shows.
• Dennis Haysbert doesn’t have great things to say about the new season of 24.
• The boys from Work Out talk to After Elton.
