I hope 47 doesn't mean Jamba Juice, because that is a trend that still has a lot of life left for me and everyone I know.

45.) Slate's weekly article about how amazing the last Mad Men episode was

It's a series of blog posts GOD

2) plaids
5) comedy Scandinavian message board regulars
14) complaining abt hipsters
16. whatevs
18) skinny jeans ugh
20) leaving the toilet seat up

24) worrying that ones favorite tv show is on the decline
26) not being able to afford a yacht
27) ray ban wayfarers everywhere
29) indie anything

48. max

I never actually clicked on the link!

xpost re: mad men articles

if u hate these things u hate me

think about that

the only one that really bugs me above is 46.

tbh i didnt really know what that one meant, but i like mad men, so

lol xpost

im guilty of doing/liking a bunch of these but i am kind of sick of myself so

just thinking about it because the chronicle had an article about a building which they described as being in a Mad Men style. It's just a building from the 60s.

it makes it hard for people w/o cable to understand wtf u mean

haha mad men style

espcially since "Mad Men" buildings look pretty sane

xp

can we still use "mad men" as a universal reference point for drinking in the office?

lol xpost

49. People saying that Animal Collective are overrated, even though probably 99% of the population hasn't even heard of them yet, and then going "but the Panda Bear record was good".

wait i thought of something im sick of

50) disliking things due to the narcissism of small differences, sublimated and explicit self-loathing and kneejerk distaste for things other people feel earnest and enthusiastic about thanks 2 ones own total inability to feel joy

51. people caring about whether animal collective are overrated or not

I still kinda like that for 2009 actually.

xpost

apt 51 there imo

wtf is wrong with things being organic and/or sustainable?
i don't know who michael pollen is really tho.

basically max and #50 otm

50) disliking things due to the narcissism of small differences, sublimated and explicit self-loathing and kneejerk distaste for things other people feel earnest and enthusiastic about thanks 2 ones own total inability to feel joy

pretty guilty of this 2 lol

51) rugby shirts

i don't think there is anything wrong with it per se just ppl going on and on about it and general 'greenwashing' of things imo

I'm more or less with max. I wish there were a few boutique ice cream shops around here, too.

yeah but just wait until there are too many

i feel ok without them

something i'm not sick of is the pinkberry/red mango/assorted knockoffs sour-yogurt fad, because that stuff is good.

xxpost I love ice cream. I don't care if the douchiest person I know is walking around with a cone of rose petal ice cream and that douchey person's s.o. is walking around with cardamom ice cream in a little cardboard cup, I'm still going to love these places and I'm not going to say, "But they were good when . . . "

52) the senate

52)a.) joe lieberman

cardamom ice cream is pretty good

ice cr?m shoppes

My friend sent me an email about Urban Outfitters selling fixies now. I don't ride a fixie, but I do ride a trendy single-speed bike, and when she sent the email, I thought, Well, the next time I break my frame or my rim is ovalized maybe prices will have come down.

ice cram

<3 fancy ice cream of all kinds theres never enough imo

if you can't laugh at too many cupcake shops, i feel sorry for you

Sometimes I'm just jealous of hipsters. I want their girlfriends and their clothes and shit.

i want their lissom frames but not their girlfriends or their shit

My old boss's sweet 18 year old daughter has been making boutique type cupcakes for a couple of years now and I would feel bad saying she's dumb to be doing so.

I want electricsound's record collection.

on a local level:

53) bridge failures/closures

I just don't have many well-fitting clothes.

54) atheism

i kinda think the bridge failure/closure thing is exciting.
