Texts from Last Night

so everybody's talking about this blog, Texts from Last Night, where people send in last night's drunk texts and they get posted, and hilarity ensues. A lot of people like the site, but I'm gonna vote no.

Some are legitimately funny, some drunk mistake or fumbling pickup line:

(508): hdsncx Gizmo asnqw toilet blanasdi
(214): ok, stay where you are, be there soon

and

(815): Why did you send me a picture of a dick?
(630): It was an accident sry. Not mine tho.

But a lot are just people bragging about how crazy their night was or thinking they're funny, and thus, are not funny. For example:

(505): You should really figure out how to get me a picture that will pop up on my phone when you call
(720): Just upload a picture of Bea Arthur. That's what my soul looks like these days

and

(847): I think it's safe to say that I made out with the entire msu campus this weekend

It's not checkouthowfunnyiam.com or lookhowcrazymynightwas.com, it's textsfromlastnight. It has the potential to be funny, but so far, there's a lot of chaff.

Writing

So I be writing a lot recently. I reviewed the Republic Tigers' good but a little awkward show at DC9 (they also have a really good new CD) and interviewed Bison Roughbottom of DC band Assrockers. I also wrote the blurb about Fort Reno Park reopening.

So after a long time, I finally restarted ColonialHoops, my GW basketball blog, on blogspot - colonialhoops.blogspot.com. Hopefully it's a temporary move and the other site will get fixed. Check it out if you like seeing Pops Mensah-Bonsu dunk, or are bored.

so I sent the previous post on Akon to Stereogum.com, and they published it! Pretty cool. Unfortunately reading it there made me realize I forgot an "a" in the first sentence of the post. Doh.
