It’s Monday! So here is my new mantra on my mirror for the week. Each week I write a little inspirational message on a post-it and put it on my bathroom mirror. Throughout the week I try to focus on this message to get me through the week.
What’s your mantra for the week?
Here is my mantra for this week:
It’s Friday!
It has been a somewhat hectic week and it’s been nearly impossible to keep my energy levels up this week. I was very happy, however, to find Portlandia on Netflix this week.
Portlandia is a sketch comedy show with Fred Armisen and Carrie Brownstein set in Portland.
If you get IFC or if you have Netflix streaming, I suggest you check it out. Some of my favorites are the “Put A Bird On It” people and the “Did you read…” sketch (YouTube vid below).
FRIDAY, JANUARY 6th, 2012… I <3 Portlandia.
I’ve written before about my love for the streaming music service Spotify. Well I’ve just found another reason to love it; you can send songs to your Facebook friends, and I’ve sent meta messages to my Facebook acquaintances. Well some of the messages are pretty obvious, I guess. Perhaps this is funnier to me than it is to anyone else, but here’s what I’ve sent so far:
I seriously love sending these. If you’re a Facebook friend, you might be getting a delivery soon.
Blog Buddies!! I need help. I’m trying to pick a new pair of glasses. The very cool website Warby Parker sent me five pairs of glasses to try on and get some advice from y’all before making a decision. So help me out guys. Which pair of glasses should I go with?
Click and vote on the pair you think I should get and feel free to leave me some feedback in the comments of this post.
If you’re a normal READER, why don’t you try LISTENING to the audio version of What Some Would Call Lies? My weekly podcast story is usually about ten minutes. Episode 7: Compliments, Booze and Unemployment Checks is about 9 minutes. Check it out.
Some friendships are meant to last forever…and others are meant to last for twenty minutes in the hallway of some lady’s house in Los Angeles while you eavesdrop on two strangers having sex in the next room.

This week I’m totally in love with my new Kindle Fire. Love.
I’ve toyed with the idea of switching to electronic books for years, and I’m glad I went for it.
One of my main concerns was that I would read LESS but buy MORE. But I haven’t had to buy any books yet. I borrowed Chelsea Handler’s My Horizontal Life and I have used the free Huffington Post app to get some news reading in too.
I’m not really competitive…but I do like to challenge myself. And as you read, you can watch the “percentage read” increase. Last night I started the Chelsea Handler book and started dozing off around 30%…but I kept challenging myself to stay awake until 50%.
Nerdy.
I’ve only had the thing for a week, so I’m still learning about some of the apps and stuff. If you have any suggestions, let me know.
Friday December 30th, 2011: I <3 The Kindle Fire.

Isn’t that a freaking hot shirt?? My friends at ooshirts.com have made it possible for me to design and give away a really rad shirt to someone that listens to the What Some Would Call Lies podcast.
Want it?
All you have to do is write a review of the podcast in iTunes. I don’t care what it says. Just write from your little t-shirt-wanting heart. It’s easier than taking candy from a slightly stupid baby… OPEN iTUNES AND WRITE A REVIEW RIGHT NOW! Any iTunes reviews submitted before January 30th, 2011 will be eligible for the shirt. I’ll announce the winner on the January 31st episode.
If you’re looking for a custom-printed shirt, ooshirts.com is a pretty easy-to-use company with reasonable prices (and I’m not just saying that because they gave me giveaways). Their website is super-easy to navigate and their customer service was superb.
At about this time every year we start to see the internet flood with meaningless top ten lists. At one point these lists might have actually served purpose, but now I believe it is used as cheap filler content to be used while the content-makers are off enjoying their holiday season.
Enjoy!
