not a real problem
tumblr should not have gotten rid of their filtering feature. if i’m looking for audio only, i should not have to look through pages of bullshit inspirational quotes and reblogged photos from fuckyeahskinnyho or whatever to find one song.

I had a feeling stuff like this was being said, I just didn’t know how bad it would be.
Rolling home at 5pm on a Sunday night, after leaving the house at 12pm Saturday must mean I had am awesome weekend, right? Yes, you are right.
this is my favorite song. i have posted it like...
Just watched a smirnoff ice commercial that wants me to believe very hot people drink smirnoff ice and that it inspires them to build water slides and not pass out in some single dorm room bed after having an awkward hook up with someone, which is what smirnoff ice actually leads to. That and tears. And vomit. And headaches. I’m just really offended by it.
nothing makes me feel like more of a tool
than when I wince when my cousin texts me in broken myspace texting. But UGH, she has a blackberry with a real keyboard. I have gigantic fingers and an iPhone with a touch keyboard and type almost perfectly on it. I DON’T UNDERSTAND.
WatchWhenever you feel like everything is wrong, watch or read Isabel Allende.

I am having a hard time relating to everyone’s heart felt missives over Michael Jackson’s death today.
But that’s okay, I don’t have to relate to everything. I hope everyone is geting through this okay.
It's really come to this, Plus-sized furniture →
That was my first impression, too, not that OMG EVERYONE IS GETTING SO FAT WE NEED THIS, but how comfortable it would be for people of all sizes. Like, no one thinks of first class airline seats as being just for fat people, you know?

“burn in hell, pedophile!”
Oh, Internet.
Also, the URL has the words “death, died, and dead” in them.
Oh, SEO.

Case in point:
1. Videogum JUST posted dina manzo’s first ever reality show that she did on her wedding.
2. I posted it on April 8.
I mean.. yeah, they’re way funnier than I will ever be, but do you want to have the inside scoop and look crazy with encyclopedic knowledge of stupid shows? I think you know the answer.

reality tv blogging woes
A few of the commenters on BravoFan think that because there is simply MORE gossip on Danielle to report than there is on the Manzo sisters that I am somehow being paid off by the Manzo family. Which you know, is stupid. Before, some of the other commenters thought that I was someone known as “Pizza Girl” who is this kind of mythic figure in the Real Housewives canon. On the first...

Following a conversation with Rachel and Janine yesterday about Christopher Weingarten’s speech, and with Rachel about the Iran elections and Twitter, I have been thinking about why Tumblr pisses me off so much lately. (You can compare that statement to my number of posts recently and make a reasonable conclusion along the lines of “if you can’t say anything...
Emily Magazine: Why I write for free →
I mostly agree with what Emily is saying here as I can and do write for free (but when it’s a project I really like and/or friends are involved), but it’s very, very easy to say all of this when you have a book deal and are living off your advance. Let’s put it into some perspective here.

I love Atlanta. I usually don’t like places that are not in California or New York City, so take note, this is a good thing. The sprawl is unfuckingreal, but still: I like it. Eventually, I will have to come to some place like this, because I truly can’t stand the pretension of NYC or San Francisco.
Anyway, today I went to the High Museum of Art and it was great! I judge art purely by...
