Rewatching Veronica Mars In Preparation For The Veronica Mars Movie
"Best. Show. Ever. Seriously, I've never gotten more wrapped up in a show I wasn't making, and maybe even more than those [...] These guys know what they're doing on a level that intimidates me. It's the Harry Potter of shows."
Do You Know Andrew White? (Why you shouldn't let people borrow your DVDs)
Let my experience be a warning to you on why you shouldn't lend anything to anyone.
It's not often I get upset, but today is one of those days where I am tired of being super nice and having people totally take advantage of me. Andrew White is the "straw that broke the camels back".
He borrowed some of my favorite blu-ray dvds about 4 or 5 months ago. Every time I have asked him for it he either has not responded or been busy etc etc. My attempt to text him in February resulted in no response back. Then the following is my attempt to text him today about getting my dvds back and his response
So do me a HUGE favor if you know Andrew White ask him about Alex Garcia's DVDs, maybe after a while he will get tired of hearing about those dvds and just return them.

Currently listening to Gaslight Anthem '45'
Love me some Gaslight Anthem. It's raw, gritty, emotional with a bit of Bruce Springsteen and Hot Water Music.

#Sakuracon Y U Not Sell Day Passes
Just bought my tickets to SakuraCon! Really excited to go just wish they offered day passes.
I was introduced to Sakuracon via a day pass and I have introduced tons of my friends to anime conventions via day passes. If you are just getting into anime you are probably not likely to dish out $60 for a 3 day pass but you might be willing to dish out 20 or 30 for a one day pass as a way to check out what all the fuss is all about. There are also tons of people including my bf who work saturday and sunday or friday and saturday and can only attend one day. $60 for a 3-day pass that you will only be using for one day is pretty steep. So if anyone from Sakuracon is reading this, please add single day passes, it's a great way for people to get introduced to Sakuracon.
What do you think about the lack of day passes for Sakuracon?

Seattle Ranks 2nd for Female Entrepreneurs (link)
Seattle is one of the most highly educated cities and has a correspondingly high median income and low unemployment rate. With 12.5 businesses per 100 residents, the city is highly entrepreneurial, and women own around 4 of those businesses...Seattle is also home to one of the world’s most famous and civic-minded businesswomen, Melinda Gates.
Seattle Ranks 5th For Good Jobs (forbes)
The fastest-growing city for good jobs outside of Texas was another tech capital, Seattle, which is expected to add 136,000 jobs over the next five years.
Seattle Ranks 10th For Bio Hubs (link)
Seattle has one of the fastest growing life sciences markets in the nation and has become one of the core cancer research markets in the nation. Puget Sound’s life sciences is comprised of nearly 1,000 firms employing more than 22,000 directly in the industry, with an additional 191,000 people employed in the hospitals and the medical field....
Seattle has a dynamic mix of life sciences companies both private and public who serve a vast array of activities from cancer research to drug research. The University of Washington Medicine, Fred Hutchinson Cancer Research, Seattle Cancer Care Alliance, Seattle Genetics, Amgen and Bristol-Myers Squibb all are staples of excellence in the market and have seen significant growth over the last decade. A major contributor to Seattle’s life sciences growth can be attributed to industry leading research coupled with generous funding by some of the world’s largest philanthropic organizations, like the Bill & Melinda Gates Foundation.
Seattle Ranks America's Techiest City (king5)
Seattle Ranks 3rd For Smartest Cities In North America (Fast Company)
Seattle. Seattle impressively scored in the top three in four of the six components of the Smart Cities Wheel. Seattle achieved top billing in smart governance, grabbing a No. 1 position in the e-governance ranking from the E-Governance Institute. Seattle has been a North American pioneer developing its first e-government strategy in 2004, and more recently using both RFIDs to track waste and Twitter to communicate about stolen vehicles.
Seattle has always done well on green rankings and showed leadership early by helping to establish the U.S. Mayors Climate Protection Agreement. The city also performed well on the Smart Economy component. In fact, Seattle had the highest economic performance rank of U.S. cities in this ranking (in the Brookings Institute study). Brookings measures economic performance as a function of GDP, employment, population, and income.
Seattle Ranks 1st & 3rd For LGBT
The northwest in general ranked 1st, 3rd and 5th in the Advocate's Gayest Cities in America (link) and scored a perfect on HRC's city rankings (link)
Seattle Ranks 2nd In Most Literate Cities (link)

My Obsession With Robyn Leads Me To Love Vanbot By Default
I love Robyn to death, her Body Talk albums spoke to me at a time when I was confused and going thru a break up and Robyn live is in my opinion far more entertaining than a Lady Gaga concert. My only complaint would be that there isn't more Robyn to consume but until a new album is released I did find the perfect inbetween to hold me over and that's the Swedish artist Vanbot.
She sounds exactly like Robyn, which is not a bad thing when you're having Robyn withdrawals, and she is also from Sweden. Check out some of my favorite Vanbot songs on Spotify belowGet Blog Updates By Email Add Me On Facebook - Twitter - Linkedin
