BRAND NEW - DAISY
allisonweiss:
Daisy is weird as hell, but I will defend this band forever. Anyone who complains about the changes they’ve gone through since Deja Entendu or Your Favourite Weapon needs to grow up. Sure, high school was great, but its time to move on. Those were two incredible albums when we were learning how to be kids in this crazy world, but the band isn’t eighteen anymore. So far, The Devil...

(Sadly, not The Onion, and not Zoolander’s Derelicte. And: “homeless”, since he evidently didn’t even bother to stop and talk to him, he might just be assuming so because the guy is black, ‘eclectic’, and on The Bowery. Poor guy could be a roadie for TV on the Radio for all we know.)

ohmerry:
Its been good so far because I run with them- usually about 3 miles.
Then I come home and do my P90X-asskicker workout.
Anyway, its so nice to run again- I run so much better when I’m with people because I talk my ass off.
Today the head coach said “You know, my daughter ran at Notre Dame and I’ll tell you something, and you’ll know because I bet you’re the same way- she’s the kind...

And that's why I don't wear lipstick
I thought I’d make a smidge more effort than usual and added a dab of lipstick to the cakeface routine this morning.
I couldn’t remember why I hadn’t worn any since the day I acquired this particular tube of M.A.C.’s “Chintz” but it’s all coming back to me as I inhale its scent while comingled with that of my musty bus seat neighbour.
It makes me gag...

Grandma over here is in bed
Or at least I was when you called me at 2am this morning. Normally, not a huge deal I guess because I’m usually out, but you knew that I wasn’t going out at all this week because I have a crazy workload right now and stuff.
Yeah, I broke my own rules on Wednesday, because the ex was in town, but that was on the downlow and no one really knew that I went out.
Like, really? WTF? Is it...
racism and YA books

abbyjean:
I decided to do a small case study at my local Barnes and Noble. I counted up all the YA titles for sale: 1067 in all.
Then I counted up the stories that featured blacks on the cover:98, and the number of had blacks as part of a group or pair of multiracial young Adults:2. One of those was an account of the Civil War and the adventures of a freed slave and a...
Don't eat the dog.
kiamatthews:
So I was just outside my hotel playing with a puppy that was walking by and this van pulls up and the dude driving yells “Don’t eat him! Don’t eat the dog!” I, naturally, asked “What the hell are you talking about?” He replies “I know you’re always hungry - Don’t eat that poor dog.” “Fuck you dude” The guy just laughs and continues to say something about me being hungry.
Like, an...

This guy from Tucson, Arizona had a great idea: http://www.onecanaweek.blogspot.com/
Imagine if every household in the Miles Neighborhood left a can of food on the porch every Sunday between 11:30 am and 5 pm. Would anything change? Would there be less hunger in Tucson? That’s exactly what Peter Norback, a Miles Neighborhood resident and all of his neighbors are hoping to prove. Every Sunday most...
it's not just what you say, but how you say it
furrowedbrow:
I get a lot of shit for laughing at inappropriate times, but maybe people just need to work more on their emphasis and intonation when speaking so I don’t look like a jerk when you say something truly depressing.
