The Useless Critic 2.0

HEY! I haven't written in here in a while! A few observations about life: While going through old posts on the UC, I realized I made this post regarding Fiona Apple's new album. It's been over a year. Still no new album. There's even been other posts about a new Fiona album coming out in November 2011, but its now almost mid-December 2011 and there hasn't even been a link of a new single. Reason? Apparently Fiona's record label won't release it. I'm too lazy to look up the specifics, but it's kind of like what happened nearly 7 years ago with her last album, Extraordinary Machine. Will there be Free Fiona part 2? Why can't Fiona just release the music herself? Is she scared she won't raise enough money through a Kickstarter campaign? Really Fiona? ANYWAY. This year I have occupied my time: dicking around on Tumblr, doing actual important things with my life like graduating from college and finishing up a post-bachelor's mental...

My friend mentioned this in his tumblr (which you should follow by the way, especially now that he's in the exotic locale of ESTONIA - which another one of my friends didn't even realize was a real country, shudder: http://totempole.tumblr.com so now you know, like Andorra, Estonia is a real place) about the coincidences he had noticed in his life. for the past few years, I've noticed the same kind of things in my life, remarkably similar things seem to occur in a pattern. but what happened today was just, err, creepy. and warrants being mentioned here, HAI. I do believe that synchronicity is a very powerful (and real) phenomenon. Argue about UFOs and Bigfoot as you will but there's no denial in the existence of this. Sometimes weird coincidences can't be ignored. For example, my siblings are all born on the 16th, as am I, as my parents are married on this day as well. And don't bad things just seem to happen in threes? (or good things too, but I, being morbid ...

On Facebook I always see that little cause in the sidebar: "we want a dislike option!" BUT WHY? what good would this accomplish? I like things quite frequently...you know why? I think it's positive. just a burst of good energy to tell another person "hey this is cool!" even if you barely talk to them ever. I know this is a ridiculous thing to write about, but I wanted to clarify why I like things. it could be a lot more eloquent but, you know. it's before bed. in other news I got kicked out of a bar this weekend apparently. my friend relayed to me I dropped my glass in front of the bartender, silenced the crowd, and someone screamed "BRITTANY IS NOW CUT OFF!" then I went on the internet and discovered why drunks and emailing NEVER MIX.
