I have a lot of questions.
1) How dare you?
i don't really care about you.

The Big Eat SF: 100 Things to Try Before You Die |... →
I’ve actually eaten most of the things on this list. The only things I am missing are the more high end/pricier stuff like Kokkari, Jardiniere, Zuni or Range.
But the rest: Tartine, La Taqueria, Front Porch, Dynamo, Truly Med, Limon, Taylor’s (uhhh I would beg to differ and think a cheeseburger at Absinthe or even Zeitgeist would be better but this is 7x7 after all!), Papalote, San...

I’ve been saying this for two years now. That song must be stopped.

This is clearly psychological warfare. I feel like Noriega right now. Are they expecting me to come out of my apartment with my hands up to surrender?

– The “value of keeping them hidden”? WTF?? This is what my panel is going to touch on at SXSW a bit - Why are we so obsessed with privacy? Why do we see it as a virtue? I’m gonna save the rest of this article for later, but wanted to instantly reblog this.

Obama Foodorama →
A clever little blog about Obama’s food policy and food habits.
Good lord.
The funny thing is that everyone cares about the Tumblr dude’s semi-naked pictures. Sometimes I think some of you found the Internet yesterday.
tylercoates:
I spend the day away from the Internet and what happens? John Updike dies and some Tumblr dude’s semi-nude pictures are passed around.

Another successful Oberlin pal who just sold the rights to her movie after showing at Sundance this year. Ry was such a character, too. It sounds cliched to say it, but you knew she was destined for things like this. You just can’t imagine someone like Ry packing up her things and going to work in an office. Congrats to her!

– The persona of Meghan McCain. - By Noreen Malone - Slate Magazine
I’ve been obsessively reading up on political daughters the last few days including the McCain girls (I’m fascinated with Bridget McCain and wish they would let her speak in public. On the one hand, she has the best life...
Elizabeth Spiers interview by Mike Geffner
(read the whole interview, it’s great)
rkb:
Read the whole thing here
Mike: How long have you been interested in gossip? And what makes good gossip and good gossip writing? Spiers: I was never interested in gossip personally. (I assume you mean celebrity gossip.) Gawker was like any other publication—it has an audience and it’s designed to cover a specific range of topics. Gossip just...

Judging on how I feel right now
if I didn’t know any better, I’d bet I was pregnant. But ha ha, I’m sooooo not.

Open letter to my brain
All I want is one night where I don’t wake up 4 or 5 times. The only way I can get this done is by tricking you with booze and I don’t want to play that game anymore, boo. Just do this for me. 6 hours, maybe even 7, no waking up. Please?
tools of the trade
How do I do my job (written for those who aren’t familiar with the pay via pageview hustle)?
1. Google Alerts — this is the bulk of where I get my news. I have a ton for each Bravo show. Most are useless splogs re-posting content, but buried in there is real stuff. I also subscribe to a few other fan blogs, but with reality TV, reading the big celeb gossip blogs is a waste of time...

Ed was making fun of me for posting so much Obama content last night but this is HUGE, you guys. This is really important.

DON'T USE FROZEN FOOD ON TOP CHEF
I read somewhere (I’ll have to dig up the link, but it may have been Eater) that once he got eliminated, he asked Padma out and they went on a date! It almost makes me want to write Padma and Spike fic.

What is it about working at a cafe that makes people want to play the worst fucking music imaginable?
PS, confidential to the extremely dirty, inexplicably sexy to me employee in the Anti-Hero hat: I live right next door. Just saying.

What do you write best to?
I find that I’m at my most focused when listening to electronic music with very little words or with repetetive words. It makes me feel like I’m in Run Lola Run, except.. with writing instead of running.

on the lost premiere
In the next 24 hours, I’m going to feel the same way everyone who doesn’t care about Obama felt today while reading my Tumblr.
Ugh well played, Internet.
Anyone excited for TOP CHEF?

Watching Obama put Bush on his plane back to Texas. I like how that’s the first order of business: send his ass home. Michelle looks like she’s freezing. Bush looks so estatic to be out of there.
I like how the inducation Obama is president is that the web site has changed. The Internet owns everything.
