Why I’m Totally Obsessed With Pulling →
I recently watched all of the BBC series, Pulling (which yes I read after the glowing posts on both Jezebel and The Awl, whatever, they usually have excellent taste) and if there was ever a Right…
where the boys are
meaverly:
Jacob says: Did you see that movie (500) Days of Summer? Two vastly different films depending on who you’re talking to. If you asked a sane person about it, they would say it’s about an immature, slightly gay dude who tries to force every woman into an impossible romantic box that they can’t possibly inhabit in order to prove something about himself. If you ask a boy, he will tell you...
Never apologize for quoting Ja Rule. I’m also partial to the one he did with J.Lo, the one about her being real. Late 90s pop music was the best.
tylercoates:
Baby, I’m not always there when you call, but I’m always on time And I gave you my all, now baby be mine

I have been writing a lot but not publishing/posting. Most of my energy has been devoted to my work blogging. I’m about to take on another celebrity blog, so I’m sure a lot of my energy will be devoted to that once it gets started.
It’s the same pattern I’m so familiar with - sometimes you want everyone to know it all, and other times, like now, the last thing you want is...

Instead of Mad Men, I am watching Pulling Season 1. It is really, really good.

(with all due respect to tess lynch)
scrambled eggs on a poppy seed roll w/ meunster cheese and two slices of tomato from tomatoes from my neighbor’s garden (so good and full of flavor. i would ask him his grow methods it but he is never home)
iced hazelnut coffee
yes, i guess this is brunch. but whatever, i do what i want!

What I want to know is.. when was the last time Lindsay Lohan was on a red carpet? Did someone cancel?
hortenseg:
Whatever on the “taste level.” You have a guy who sent L’eggs Control Top down the runway. Come on.
And did all of the judges get a free bottle of SevinNyne from Lohan? So much fake tan in this episode. You’re in LA! WE GET IT.
Micah's "Black people on Twitter" theory
No, they have their own communities and their own friends that you are not paying attention to. I follow a lot of “those people” for my work blog, and trust me, they know how to use Twitter.

My friend Micah noticed that the Twitter trending topics attract a lot of tweets from non-geeky people: People who use text-speak, and more minorities, women, and teens than in the...
YouTube - 2009Commercials's Channel →
The guy who runs this YouTube channel’s name is Dennis. He lives in Oregon. He just wants to upload commercials and trailers for future generations to enjoy. I find this amazing. Amateur, obsessive archivists are some of my favorite people.
i'm so overloaded on mad men already
so i’m watching re-runs of house instead. i know, i’m lame, but i can’t deal with it anymore.
on the other hand..top chef season 6!? for that, i am so, so, so ready.

While it’s kind of neat to be mentioned in an NBC article (click thru to see where they called me a “powerhouse”), I would love to once, just once, see an article about women bloggers - or women in the tech field in general, or hello, women at all - that doesn’t comment in some way on...

Yesterday, after sketch writing class, we all took the elevator, which was going up instead of going down (because the buttons of the building the UCB training center is in don’t appear to work) and naturally, it stopped on every single floor (there are 12 floors). It was wonderful to witness the 8 or so of us come up with a punchline on every floor. A joke a second! Had the elevator been...
