aint no big deal, it's innocent
Okay, so how can I get Katy Perry to be my friend and follow me? This is not a rhetorical/hypothetical question. I am looking for a serious workable strategy.

so um i think i love you
Dear Tumblr,
I like you because you remind me that there are people even more obsessed with the internet than me. You open me up to a world of other addicts who are okay with what they are. You make being a junkie a perfectly acceptable thing.
I also like you because you are not a haven for stupid people. The world is full of bad writers who think they are good writers. These people write a...

“It will give children nightmares.”
– Pitchfork, on Stephin Merritt’s Coraline, an off-broadway production adapted from the recent stop-motion film, adapted from Neil Gaiman’s novella. Creepy audio samples can be found here. The whole thing seems terrifying. And also awesome.

wine is bottled poetry.
I’ve been in Napa this weekend frolicking the wine country. Visited Cakebread Cellars for a tasting of aged library red wines in their executive lounge. Awesome. Then dropped in at the Napa Wine Co. for a sampling of collected wines by Napa sellers. Awesome. Then finished the day at Mumm Napa, where we intended to sample vintage champagnes and then stroll through the photo gallery, but...

Kristine:
I just tried to search for your name in the Facebook search bar, but instead of typing "Ashley Lystne" I started typing "andthenyouexplode."
Does this mean it's time for me to get off the internet?
Ashley:
lol no, that is never the answer
ps. i'm flattered that at least in some context you thinking of me primarily as my internet self, because between the two of us, i think she is much cooler than my self IRL

women i want to be: inara george
The first track I heard from the Bird and the Bee was their cover of Rihanna’s “Please Don’t Stop the Music.” Oddly enough, despite an obsession with pop females, I’ve just never really liked anything I’ve heard from Rihanna. I thought “Don’t Stop the Music” was mostly just annoying and tried hard to avoid it, though it found its way far too...

et la vie est belle
What a week. I woke up reeling from my now week-long self-celebration, wondering at how I managed to survive so many midterms in the interim, and also realizing that my next week ahead is just… oh, more partying.
I guess I don’t have too much to complain over, seeing how as I’ve spent today only in the so-strenuous activities of shopping, laying around in bed, and sampling...

clapping like a million hands
I do love love love the new Timid Tiger/ House of Love (which you can dl here).
What can I say, I like HAPPY MUSIC. It’s why I get ready pretty much every morning listening to Vampire Weekend or the Submarines. I’m a sucker for cheer and optimism.
Grab also Golden Arm here, and what? YOU DON’T HAVE THEIR WOMANIZER COVER?? It may be even better than Britney Spears and hey,...

This is the first and probably only time in my life I’m sad to not be in Texas. Freaking everyone is going to be at SXSW next week. Including Port O’Brien and whatever the band that was formerly Tempo No Tempo is now called, groups of Berkeley boys all of whom I’m either friends with or pretend to be friends with. I’ve also been flooded with emails asking me to get out to...

these are just bodies
Okay so I am hopping onto this new blogfad in the hopes that my blogfriend Kristine will build me a blog to bring home to mom & dad. Actually I should hope that neither my mom nor my dad read any of my blogs, ever, but you know, I just mean a pretty little blog that will make me some nice arm candy, that I can be proud to stand next to in pictures, or you know, lead people to on the internet...
