Tayari's Blog: Stay In Bed All Day Links

I have spent the whole day on this computer. Why? Because people who have no TV, waste time on the internet. Here's what I found worth doing. Or not worth doing, but it's what I did.

  • obsessively monitoring the auction. There's still some good stuff out there.
  • reserving tickets to go to The Daily Show live. (I'll be going in July. There are no Colbert tickets available in the foreseable future.)
  • watching all eight episodes of "The Guild." I can't decide whether the last couple of episodes are offensive or not. You could say, "If you have to ask, then it's not." Or you could say it the other way around.
  • listening to Erykah Badu speak her mind in a way that was waaaay to laid back to be natural, but really inspiring to those of us who feel like artists working outside of the mainstream madness. (I was wondering... what is the literary equivalent of "getting naked and wearing just glitter" that she says makes for pop success.)

    that badu interview was hilarious.

    the literary equivalent: write a memoir where everything is a lie and it reads like bad fiction, but works like bad singers in church, who you clap for, cause somehow when it seems real its enjoyable even when its bad

    I would also add that when you don't have TV (i.e. cable)you spend endless hours watching TV on DVD. Thanks for the links. I'm adding your blog to mine.

    The lit equivalent of "naked with glitter": books about chicks naked with glitter doing ho sh**! Sad, but true.

    Long live Badu!
