I’m sorry, undergrads, but you are The Worst.
Put your damn smart phones away. Close your damn laptops.
It is so disrespectful and rude. Perhaps I would feel differently if I did not suffer from class envy, and I had a smart phone and/or laptop of my own to fuck around on when I should be following the professor? But I doubt it. These...

I never used it to surf the Internet in class. It changed my life in college because I have fucked up double jointed fingers and writing for any extended period of time is painful. I can type much, much faster and organizing my thoughts on screen actually helped my grades.
I feel like a doof now :(
I stopped using my laptop to take notes because a) I’m a loud typer,...

So I’m listening to the new Bright Eyes on the NPR stream. It’s pretty okay! I’m having flashbacks of 2004, when he was drunk as hell and I thought he spoke to my 19-year-old soul.
From the NPR review:
I won’t mince words: This is the best record Bright Eyes has ever made. In fact, it’s the best record the band’s frontman, Conor Oberst, has ever been a part...

working 6-10 on a weekend day is the sword of motherfucking damocles all day long.
… not that I’m complaining about listening to hip hop with Lauren for four hours. I’m just saying. It’s not as much like a day off as you’d think.
I hate hate HATE when people let out a giant SIGH in the middle of lecture. Who fucking raised you?
@Ginger-gal
No, but it could well be featured there. It’s just a top, and I got it at a little dinky boutique that often has Modcloth stuffs.

my brain is in the process of un-atrophying.
theladylaurasaurus:
so far the best part of today has been commiserating with everyone that nobody is ready for this semester to start.
a. men. sister. I couldn’t even read a fucking book over this semester break. It’s www.atrophy.biz/senioritis over here.
yesterday at work, an adorable older boy - let’s say somewhere between 17-20 - came in with another kid his age-ish and an older lady who payed for everything (so, let’s assume the mother of either one or both of them). He was skinny, kinda cute, or at least certainly on his way to being cute, articulate. I liked him.
But so anyway, he bought a Frank Miller Batman graphic novel (Dark...

inappropriate for the internet
(just be glad you’re not married to me, or I’d be telling the world about your ass rash)
So Alan has awful skin. A few years ago, he did two - TWO - runs of accutane, and still had heinous acne for another year before it cleared up. And since then, of course, he’s gone from being oily to hella dry. So now he gets little dry patches and dandruff and stuff (which is really not a...

– Some more great spam/trolling from my other blog. I AM on the lookout for attention, after all.

so, ya know. hi.
so, the tiger mother.
Yes, she was very nice, very sweet, very articulate. Yes, her excerpt was taken out of context, and the larger point of the book is that she’s learned lessons. SHE’S LEARNED LESSONS, you guys. And after the event, everyone was cooing about how incredibly nice and sweet and articulate she was about all the lessons she learned.
But, she still called her daughter garbage. I just… I...

On a past birthday
I drank 4 margaritas
Not a good idea
Oh yes there will be
Margarita in my mouth
I want to go there
Once, I drank whiskey
For six and a half hours.
And then I fell down.
Drinking a Bee’s Knees
Gin, honey, and lemon juice
Gets you a nice buzz
Drinks were fun last night
So sad that I...

When she opened her eyes, I was relieved.
When she responded to doctors, I was happy.
When she gave her husband a shoulder rub, my heart was warmed.
When she stood up and walked to the window, I started getting nervous.
Gabrielle Giffords has now apparently tried to…
Well, me and the coworkers are smashed, so, success.

Our staff member hosting just said, “the Internet has some questions”.

Holding pattern until 7:30. The line is over a block long, and these are the most cranky, insufferable people I’ve ever seen at one of our events.
I told you: geared toward the sector of the public that can’t wait for a new thing to rage about.

Nope, I have no sympathy that you don’t have a jacket, you still have to wait outside. When you go to a big event at a tiny place, you have to line up outside. At least you’re not in New York, where I grew up, where it’s 20 degrees while you’re waiting for the show, uphill both ways, etc.
ampahsand asked: Oh my god, they totally wasted casting Anne Hathaway as Catwoman when they could totally get some crazy crazy blonde to do Harley Quinn. I'm trying to think of someone. Maybe Nicole Kidman unhinged with dyed hair? Stepford style?

The first tv camera has arrived!
I’m happier than ever that the entire front of our store is filled with porno books. Welcome, angry mothers!
Oh sweet Jesus tap-dancing Christ don’t make me go to work. Take my legs, my iPhone, anything! I don’t want to host Amy Chua*!
*unless someone throws a pie.
