It’s been over a year since Marc Jacobs showed harem pants on his Spring ‘07 runway, but we’re just now spotting them in H&M and on Topshop’s website. The latter just posted their newest trend category called, “Can’t Touch This,” (which also happens to be Vogue’s new phrase of choice). The collection includes a pair of silky, silver pants...

The monthly email newsletter from my mom - parsed
Good Morning Nicoel, (I would say so, you sent me this email at 5 am my time) An update on [my aunt]: She’ll be having a lumpectomy for her bc (um, do you have to abbreviate breast cancer?) on April 11th. It’s day surgery. Once the pathology report comes back the oncologist will outline the proper treatment. I’ve just finished my placement at the Veteran’s Health Centre...

Bullet Notes on The Hills
A little late to the party, but I just finished watching Monday night’s episode of The Hills this morning. I reblogged this on my other blog. The whole soundtrack to recreating The Hills - annoying. Do you really need to put the entire soundtrack up in the corner for us MTV? Yelle - millions of Americans who had previously never heard of Yelle are going to be converted and start combing...
Oh, hi, do you actually live here?
I walked in on a couple in the throes of a pretty steamy makeout session in the vestibule of my building coming home from work. The most annoying part was how inconvenienced they looked looked as Ii finished my cigarette and fumbled for my keys. I get that you’re probably loaded and that making out in the lobby seems like a good idea, but if you could just go back to whatever trashy...
Math is nuts
yourdp: desaturated: UNBELIEVABLE MATH PROBLEM Here is a math trick so unbelievable that it will stump you. Personally I would like to know who came up with this and why that person is not running the country. Grab a calculator. (you won’t be able to do this one in your Head) Key in the first three digits of your phone number (NOT the Area code…) ...
Gossip Girl gossip!
dontshushme: TV Guide is reporting the following: “Hey, Uppity Ausholers, Gossip Guy here with a piece of prattle that’s going to make your ingrown toenails curl. I’m hearing from an extremely reliable source that a male character on Gossip Girl will be revealed to be of the gay persuasion when the show returns on April 21. Who? Can’t say. Won’t say. It’s too good a surprise. I will, however,...

Out of my hands
“Out of my control” I wanted to say, with some hands in there for effect, but there was nothing I could do to quell his fury. It’s not personal has become my mantra of late.
I need to go for a run I think, either that or get a little more face time with my yoga mat.
She was supposed to go to a bbq she told the caller in hushed tones, no I hadn’t been invited because of my falling out with the hostess. She feigned disinterest but I didn’t really care to be social after such a long day and I didn’t exactly feel slighted. I’m not going to go into specifics about the falling out but I essentially had to fire one of my friends. We...

baugher: That was how long it took between the “I’m done” post and a fresh picture of Our Lady of Introspection. If her lips aren’t pursed, her mouth is wide open. I wonder what that means. She cautions that although she is not restarting the blogging yet, she will, on rare occasions, post random things, and won’t be back in full force until mid or late April. I tend to...
Celebrity sex tape challenge
johnbrissenden:
My friend H and I were recently playing that old childhood favourite, The Celebrity Sex Tape You’d Least Like To See. I beat H out the park with Rosie O’Donnell.

sarazucker:
i went to dinner with my parents tonight after seeing the counterfeiters (amazing movie, must-see) at our local independent cinema. as the meal progressed, i became more and more upset, leading to tears, feeling that they do not currently support my choice in future occupation.
to begin, i am currently in grad school getting a masters in library & information studies with a...
Healthy Me: Day 24
emilyposts:
Thursdays are always a hard day to workout because I have a really long day. But I made time today before my night class, and I’m glad I did. I tried running for 40 minutes, but after 5 I was just drained. I’ve been so tired this week. Instead I walked on an incline for 40 minutes. I thought this would be easier, but I felt so lazy for walking that I set it on the steepest hill and...

topic: relationships
tumblinas:
i haven’t posted a serious topic in a while, because i wasn’t sure of what to say, but i wanted to get the opinions of my fellow tumblinas about “girl stuff”. i have girl friends, i’m not the sort of girl to say that “i just get along with guys better” because i think that is a bit of a cop out, but i like to listen to other girls and see how they feel about issues that are typically...

Cowboys & Indians
So I just got invited to a themed birthday party by one of my (former?) friends on facebook.
I say former because we met through work but I was her boss and we clashed on many fronts and ultimately, when I had to make a tough decision I acted more like a boss than a friend.
I can’t really figure out if she simply did a mass invite and essentially invited all of her contacts or if...
Liar, Liar
Me: You have a blog?
Reluctant Blogger: No
Me: Why is this blogger window open then?
RB: You must have left it open...
Me: No, I didn't
RB: You must've
Me: (hits the back button, revealing a previously unknown blog) Then what's this?
RB: How did you do that?
Me: Why should I tell you. I'll just keep it a secret and start a foreign-language blog instead
RB: I'm starting to realize how you felt when I confronted you about writing about liking that guy on your blog...
Bowling for Morale
I attended another company-sponsored event yesterday, this time bowling. I’m not a huge fan of bowling, and I refused to play because I’m terrible at it and I can admit it. Chalk it up to being a poor sport, but other than snowboarding, I’ve never been a huge fan of sports I suck at. My regional manager and a disgraced former manager who’s working his way back up the...

tourist season - who taught these kids manners?
tumblinas: ok, so i know most of you live in NYC, city of perpetual tourists, but we get millions of them here in DC as well. Especially gaggles of school groups all crowding in to see the White house, monuments, Archives, etc. Typically I don’t mind, but school groups are the worst. I work in a building that is directly across from the National mall and two blocks from the White House. ...
