Ryan's Jungle Fun: Words from a Hotel Parking Lot
http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2009/04/words-from-hotel-parking-lot.html
Sunday, April 12, 2009. Words from a Hotel Parking Lot. I did not write this. I found it in the parking lot of a Best Western in Countryside, IL. That weekend was one of the worst weekends of my life. This is one of the worst nights in my life. Tonight, I think I've just had a panic attack. In order to try and calm myself down, I'm transcribing these words and uploading them to the world. Subscribe to: Post Comments (Atom). FiveThirtyEight.com: Electoral Projections Done Right.

Ryan's Jungle Fun: May 2009
http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2009_05_01_archive.html
Monday, May 4, 2009. Once again, I am dreadfully failing to come even close to being productive. Time to write on the old blog again. Tonight's topic, sports musings. Predictably, the football purists howled. Pep Guardiola berated the Blues for refusing to play actual football. What did they honestly expect? That's the big question. Hiddink experimented with one possible solution by finally debuting a 4-4-2 with Drogba and Anelka up top together and Lampard on the right wing. The experimented proved ...

Ryan's Jungle Fun: November 2008
http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2008_11_01_archive.html
Friday, November 28, 2008. You're Not In Good Hands With Heurelho Gomes (Fulham v Tottenham blog). Every term, IES runs sponsors (subsidizes) a trip to a Premier League football match. Typically, they get tickets to a Fulham match? The exact same answers as me. As we walked, loud, call-and-response cheers went up. At first, I couldn't make them out. Then, Dan told me what they were. Tottenham fans were yelling "YID ARMY! And other Tottenham fans were calling back "YID ARMY! That's an utterly confusing qu...

Ryan's Jungle Fun: April 2009

Monday, April 13, 2009. One more reason that I am somewhat rubbish at life. Instead of writing my own blogs, I know simply regurgitate others' words. *Sighs*. I was listening to a new song on Marina and the Diamonds' Myspace. When I decided to read her blogs. Minus the stuff about celebrity, this encapsulates a lot of what I've been feeling. Here's what she wrote:. Back from New York. Feel greedy and horrible for spending all money in new york. Feel mean for being mean person in life. L, you've got that ...

Ryan's Jungle Fun: June 2009
http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2009_06_01_archive.html
Monday, June 22, 2009. The Comforting Ache of the Summer Holiday. I am sure I have no lost my entire readership after ignoring my blog for a couple months. That presumes that I actually had a readership, though, which probably flatters myself. Anyhow, here is what is up with me:. It is nice to be home because I am happier here but I find that happiness bothersome in that it is strictly localized to home. I am not happy when I am at school. I feel like I'm not really.

Ryan's Jungle Fun: December 2008
http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2008_12_01_archive.html
Sunday, December 21, 2008. Song of the Day - Warwick Avenue by Duffy. Note that the London post a couple beneath this one is new, but since I started it a while ago it appears below the Premier League post. In that post, I mention Warwick Avenue and the Duffy song of that name, so it seemed like a good time to spotlight the song itself. Anyhow, the song was a big hit for Duffy. It was her third single off of. For reference, here are the song's lyrics:. When I get to Warwick Avenue. Outta my mind lately.

Ryan's Jungle Fun: January 2009
http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2009_01_01_archive.html
Saturday, January 24, 2009. After buying a new Chicago card (because the old one won't read anymore) and purchasing a ticket for the Ting Tings concert, I'm wondering whether or not $50 is too much for a Morrissey ticket. On one hand, he's a honest to goodness music legend. On the other, is he really 2.5 x better than the Ting Tings? Plus, I've heard that he's brilliant live. Sunday, January 18, 2009. This Post Is A Reminder. Saturday, January 17, 2009. Now everything is wrong. Next up is "Die Tonight," ...

Ryan's Jungle Fun: May 2008

Thursday, May 29, 2008. Ting Tings Rip Off Ali Love (Both Are Quite Good). So the Ting Tings excellent "Shut Up and Let Me Go" has been all over US TV, making them the latest act that nobody in the US would pay any attention to until Apple gave them a commercial. Made them cool. They join Feist, CSS, and Yael Naim in that club. Ali Love, despite being a really fun artist, is probably best known for doing vocals on the Chemical Brothers' modest hit "Do It Again". No other reasons than these most likely:.

http://ryansjungle.blogspot.com/2009/03/vv-brown-bringer-of-hope.html
Wednesday, March 4, 2009. VV Brown - Bringer of Hope. I must say I was happy when I checked Twitter today and saw this tweet from VV Brown:. I just love nerdy intellectual men who are awkward and witty. They are so super sexy. ) especially those who dont realise there hotnesss! Little Boots (pure pop). La Roux (New wave). Mini Viva (Xenomania girl duo). Pixie Lott (Not terribly synthy, Gabriella Cilmi-esque). Alex Roots (Avril Lavigne-ish). Here's her debut buzz-building limited release "Crying Blood".
