Really, guy with red shoes that match your red patterned scarf? You really want to check yourself out in the mirrored surface of the elevator as you ride it for exactly one floor up from the lobby?
Real world Tom Haverford. Not cool.
I had to drop off my car at a mechanic for service and then get taken by van to the closest Metro station. My shuttle ride was spent with a veeeeery chatty Californian septuagenarian who clearly still wanted me to know she was cool and with-it.
It was surprisingly pleasant.
Okay, I know I’ve been throwing a lot of stuff at you today, but this NYT article — Generation Sell, by William Deresiewicz — should be required reading/discussion material for people interested in our generation.

How I Learned to Live Google-free
…what do you think?
I wonder what it would be like to try using the web without Google or Facebook for a little while.
I might try it at some point.
Today, I opened up WordPress to find that I had six spam messages waiting. I always secretly hope that one of the many spam comments in my filter will be a thoughtful comment that somehow got tangled up with the junk.
Sadly, this was not the case today. Maybe next time.
No, really. It did. I’m (mostly) off Twitter today, as I’m focusing in on some big projects at work. But when I checked it at lunch, look what was there to greet me.
Clearly, Twitter needs me. Well, too bad, buddy. You’ll have to mosey along somehow without DVD SMRVL today.
(PS — This could also be some kind of subliminal advertising for post-Qwikster-fiasco Netflix, but I still think Twitter itself was calling my name.)
If you’re subscribed to this blog (or if you’d like to be), go ahead and click that shiny new “Subscribe to Smrvl (RSS)” link in the sidebar. I did some monkey business behind the scenes* and it will help me out a bit if people use that instead of whatever they’d already done in the past.
Thanks, you’re a pal! Here’s a picture of Ron Swanson smiling at an art show to reward you for your good deed.**
*The monkey business was adding this blog to Feedburner, for those who care.
**To be fair, Ron is not actually smiling at the art in this picture. Wouldn’t want to misrepresent Ron.
The Minnie Driver!
Waaaahahahaha hah ahaahah haha ha…
..ha…
Yeah, I made that one up myself. Feel free to use it yourself, though. I know you won’t be able to resist, it’s so good.
