Post tenebras lux.

It's Thursday, and almost 5 o'clock. That means it's almost the weekend for this girl.

I begin an internship with Glass Magazine tomorrow, and I'm hoping my weekly trips into NYC will turn into a new feature focusing on interesting things seen and heard around the city. I have my camera packed, and I'm sure enough interesting/crazy/weird people will be around to make blog-worthy things happen for me to record. Like the time a homeless man almost sat on me on the subway. That was fun!

In other news, They Might Be Giants have a new album coming out, and you can listen to it here -- it's a super awesome, super exclusive pre-release album of The Else.

This weekend, go see Hedwig and the Angry Inch at the Baronet Theatre in Asbury Park this Saturday at 8pm (tix $10 in advance/$15 at the door). If you've seen the movie about the glam rock god-turned-goddess (just about), go see it in its original stage format, revived with Aaron Berk as Hedwig. It's gotten good reviews. If you haven't seen the movie, watch it and have its music get stuck in your head. For more info on the theater, click here.

Last night, in an attempt to find the music video for "I Will Follow You Into the Dark," I stumbled upon a YouTube series called We Need Girlfriends, and it strangely pulled me in. It's about three guys in NYC who've just graduated from college and have had their long-time girlfriends leave them. It can be a bit trite at times, but it makes me giggle, and the guys on it are kinda cute. Check it out when you find yourself surfing around YouTube.

(I never found the music video, by the way. Just a bunch of people covering it. Which was disappointing. I don't even know why I wanted to watch the video in the first place. I think it was because I saw someone in New Brunswick yesterday who I thought looked like the singer from Death Cab, but I wasn't sure because I wasn't sure what the singer from Death Cab really looked like, so I needed to check, and rather than do a Google Image search, I figured, let me hear the song AND see what the guy looks like. It didn't happen, though, and I was sad.)

Gay marriage isn't being banned in Massachusetts. It almost was, but now it's not. That's good, just in case I decide to become a lesbian.

It's not officially summer yet in Mother Nature's terms, but I just wanted to remind everyone about Fla-Vor-Ice, that sugary, frozen treat that succeeds at simultaneously being gross and awesome at the same time. All you taste is plastic for the first few bites, but it's worth it in the end, when the ice melts into pure sugar syrup and you get to simply drink it. In fact, don't bother freezing them at all! Just drink straight out of the box. Great as a mixer for alcoholic drinks and shots.

And Mr. Wizard is still dead. 'Tis a sad, sad time in our world.
