Sigh, magazines are feeling it too. Paste, which is probably one of the best music magazines out there (even if it does dig deep into that mushy adult-pop-indie), is begging for your help to stay afloat. Seriously. They have a donation page and everything. Plus, Paste is awesome. Why would we want this magazine to die? Sigh. Throw in $25 bones and help pay for someone’s freelance piece. You’ll feel better for it, trust us. source

The assistant principal is critically ill. His school, and two others, will be closed until the bug dies down a little more. In case you’re wondering, swine flu is still scary, but its scariness rises and falls based on the hour. source
You can’t raise your voice. You cannot touch him without startling him. I lived with the man. Yes, he has it. He also has bipolar but I don’t believe he has been diagnosed with that. I would call him that.
Yvonne Yettaw • Whose ex-husband John recently started some drama with a Nobel laureate, Aung San Suu Kyi, and got her in trouble. Granted, there is a degree of “I hate my ex-husband SO MUCH” in there, but she did live with the guy, so she knows better than most. • source
