    As my sister could tell you, I have recently become obsessed with two things: Taylor Swift, and the blog Hyperbole and a Half.

    First, T. Swift.  I’m not quite sure what it is, but recently, it seems like hers is the only music I have been interested in listening to.  I’m definitely a sucker for anything catchy that I can sing along to, and Ms. Swift fits the bill perfectly.  Sometimes I’m conflicted about this obsession though, because on the one hand she’s super great to sing along with and seems like a super nice person (not that I’ve watched multiple youtube videos of her on various talk shows . . . ), but on the other hand I don’t know that I totally agree with all of the messages in her songs (why does every song seem to end with somebody getting married?!?!).  Also, the other day, I was listening to “You’re Not Sorry” on Fearless and I was so excited to discover that it’s almost exactly the same as OneRepublic/Timbaland’s  “Apologize” (coincidence?).  I immediately set off thinking I could make a mash-up, only to discover that a few wise youtube users has already done it before me.  For example:

    As for Hyperbole and a Half–what can I say, I saw this post about moving with her dogs, and I was hooked!  Read it, and I swear you’ll be hooked too.  Hilarious!
