BACK TO BLACK
Fashion update: today I bought a gray dress, a gray dress with black trim, a black dress with gold flecks, a black dress, a black shirt, and a black jumpsuit. My attempt to integrate color in my wardrobe has failed spectacularly.

THIS AMERICAN LIFE
Today I stopped in at a McDonald’s in my city, which happens to have the widest income gap in a nation that itself has the widest income gap among developed countries. The people at the table next to me were all dressed in identical smocks from a local retail store and were discussing the plight of Atlanta’s poor in loud, grating tones. They opined that the city government was too soft...
TYPICAL GIRLS BUY MAGAZINES
Just got the latest issue of Perspectives on History, the news magazine of the American Historical Association. This month’s exciting cover story: The 2012 Annual Meeting: A Retrospective. Like we need a glossy, full-color spread to jog our memories of something that happened literally last month. Anyways, I usually let my fellow historians be, but this shit is wack for the following two...

Apologies to Kurt Cobain fans but it isn’t his birthday actually. You dont get any more birthdays when you’re dead. Greedy.

What about the black speck on the wall? :snarksnarksnark:
That reminds me not to bash painted furniture against white walls when moving in.
friend: you can't just judge someone from what music they like
me: yes I can
(FOREVER JUDGE
Don't know why I'm so excited about this, 90% of what I listen to is irredeemable garbage.)

Couldn’t you like glue something to the bottom of the shoe? like maybe pieces of some sort of non-skid mat or yoga mat? And that’s a crazy amazing mark-down.
No, gluing something to it would throw me off balance unless I was insanely precise, and, let’s face it, I’m not. What I’m...

why do I suddenly have the urge to scribble all over this picture, post it and confuse the hell out of my 400+ followers… Nice phone btw and OOOooo love the shoes!!
I think you should do this! I love the shoes too, but I almost never wear them because the sole has no tread whatsoever and I almost break my...
IT MUST BE FOR REAL CAUSE NOW I CAN FEEL
There’s one of those alternative X-TREME SKATEBOARDING JESUS churches next door to me, and they have some kind of faith band practice every single day. They need it, honestly—to date, I have never, ever heard them play anything that didn’t sound exactly like an inept cover of Bush’s “Glycerine,” easily one of the worst songs of the nineties. Even as a...
THE SECOND FRESHNESS
I’ve got a consultation appointment next week at Ink and Dagger to see about getting some sick ink, bro. I’m planning to get a good-sized leg piece based on my favorite book, Bulgakov’s The Master and Margarita. Originally I was going to get my boy’s name on my knuckles or a sweet tribal butterfly or even an “I’m Cash Carter” tattoo, but then I reflected...
UNEASY LIES THE HEAD THAT WEARS THE CROWN
Professor: So the letter from the rebel leader proposing that the dynasty be exterminated is passed along to the Yongzheng Emperor. What do you think he does to the writer?
Student #1: Kills him?
Students #2: Kills his family too.
Student #3: KILLS THE ENTIRE PROVINCE!
My job is a cornucopia of never-ending delight. For the record, no, the letter writer was pardoned.

Surely not NME, they idolise Joy Division!
Nope, it’s not NME, as you pointed out, that would be totally out of character. Maybe it was Melody Maker before they went under.
CLAP YOUR HANDS SAY NAH
One of the British music magazines used to have a feature where they’d just tear into a well-regarded band like Joy Division or the Clash for being terrible and having an over-inflated and undeserved fanbase. It was delightful on so many levels, but I don’t remember which magazine had it. Was it NME? This is going to drive me insane.
