Is "mash-up" the new hip way to say "medley"?

I'd say there's a subtle difference. A medley is a mix where bits from various sources are put together in a sequence. A mash-up is a mix that swirls those various bits together so that they occupy the same space. To visualize:
Medley
Mash-Up:
Music is delicious, too!

The cheap stuff might*. I am allergic to sugar beets and tapioca (used to thicken some low-fat ice creams). Also, raspberries and apples.
*well, none of my allergies will kill me quickly. It'd be unpleasant, though.

I spent at least five, and possibly fifteen-plus years of my life with an undiagnosed fungal infection in my lungs, GI tract and elsewhere. It's left my immune system a little messed up.

Well...just like the Adult Swim thing, right now it's less about what he meant, it was the way it was perceived that is the issue here. The title makes it sound like something different than it was. They make it sound like it was the doll itself that was being prosecuted. It was someone in disguise dropping a suspicious package and running that caused the uproar.
I'll just leave this here. Trust me, you'll enjoy it.
She wants Batman's love and she wants Batman's revenge. Together, he and she could write a bat romance.

Maybe. I'm thinking of things like how the source of superpowers in the story makes everyone who gets powers evil...except for our heroes, who are inexplicably unaffected in personality. Seems to happen a lot.

Also in RPG video games, the standard "hit" animation should change as your THACO or BAB or whatever improves. Have they done that? I admit ignorance.

Just saying, because I'm playing Dragon Age: Origins for the first time. Pretty good, despite Morrigan and her mother's wannabe Douglas Adams pseudo-clever word games, and the fact that every female has boobs the size of their heads.

My facebook friends post pictures of every little thing they do: weekend outings, meals, beers they're in the process of drinking...
I just got back from New Orleans after visiting my brother. Didn't feel compelled to take a single picture, and it made me think about how I rarely feel the need to document my adventures with a camera. If I do, it's because it seems like something that I should do. Not interesting, just a realization that I felt like writing down someplace. Congratulations, forum!

The one time I wanted to photograph everything was in the UK. I think my family turned me off to pictures. Some woman in our family is always trying to herd people around like cattle to arrange us into some fabricated memory to look back on. Every now and then I'll take a few, but only if I can do it without a lot of arranging and interrupting.
Candid photos are so much better.
