Muse: Defined
Anyone who refers to him or herself in conversation as a “muse” really means that they’re a “groupie” who is afraid of commitment to a single musician/artist/author/etc. You can be inspirational and muse-like all you want but the amount of hubris involved in talking about it is preposterous.
Unless you’re Salma Hayek.
Another Day In The Family Business
Alternate title: Welcome Back To Festival Season
Keira: did you see the urine vapor? is it close and steamy? ugh detroit
Chaely: Yes. Yes and also yes. Steadman told me that it's from the peoplemover and NOT the sewer but I think he just said that to make me feel better as a big cloud of it wooshed around my face.
Keira: the people mover is in the air, the sewer is underground, i dont know how you can confuse the two
Chaely: It's supposedly exhaust from the heating & ventilation system. I don't know... It didn't smell like pee or poo.
Keira: it could be, but that crap clings to your skin! i dont care if it doesnt smell, it becomes a part of you!!
Chaely: It's really gross when you put it like that. I'm about to make this calzone become a part of me.
Her response was really funny but I can't share it for fear that she would hate me forever if she ever saw this. It was THAT FUNNY!
grrr
kickstand:
So I ripped a hole in the crotch of my jeans, so I decided to go the mall to get new jeans because i had a gift card there. So I look around one store. They have about 8 pairs of jeans all pre ripped or scratched. One pair of straight up white washed jeans(white wash really?! Am I Bon Jovie) and like 2 pair of regular jeans. I go to a second store and they have like 6 pairs of...

Scenes From the Recession | Boston.com →
This is kind of a memory marker. Living in Michigan it’s easy to get so wrapped up in how bad things are here that I forget that the rest of the country & the world is hurting, too. Let’s hope that things can only improve from here.
Acid Beatdown →
This is how they should teach drug prevention in schools. If you read this and you are still willing to get high on LSD, possibly endure a severe beating from some huge Italian dudes and then divorce yourself from your father because your skin rejects him then by all means, you should have every right to do so. Go ahead, man. The world is your purple dancing zebra.
The Other Man In My Life
Chaely: Reggie is in my bed, biting me
Rob: HEY, that's my job
Chaely: he does this when you're not here, recently
Rob: aww
Chaely: he just turned around and put his butt on my leg - JUST LIKE YOU DO!
Paradoxical
I’ve learned that there are two things you should take without a second thought whenever they are offered to you: work and time off of work.
No explanation
“My sister ruined lesbians for me.”
My friend Alex said this at a party last night. As much as I wanted to ask, I was afaid to know why this was the case.

(via kickstand)
Holy shit. If cops came in and shot up my old college apartment every time the hallway smelled like weed we would have all died 20x over. Since when was “weed smell” a cause for deadly force?

Earlier today I stated that Twitter ruined irony. It looks like maybe irony deserved it.
Regardless, I still hate Twitter.
Validation
“I am writing to let you know that one of your photos has been short-listed for inclusion in the seventh edition of our Schmap Miami Guide, to be published early April 2009.”
To be honest I feel sort of fraudulent accepting this. I only spent about 4 hours in Miami and took that photo with my crappy old camera on a whim when I was exiting this incredible rare sneaker store.

Hey Dallas,
Thanks for disposing of our trash. We owe you one.

Twitter Ruins Irony
halfwaynowhere:
Twitter limits search results to 100 pages @ 15 posts per page. There have been 1500 instances of the word “epic” in the last 15 hours. That’s too many.
I’ll bet that at least 1/3 of them were using “epic” to refer to something NOT epic such as eating lunch or waiting outside the movie theatre for mom to pick them up. Twitter is ruining irony. I hate twitter.
Gay Marriage Update | Salon →
There are some really big things going on in the gay rights movement right now that are worth a mention. To summarize the short article above:
- Thursday, California’s state Supreme Court will hear arguments on whether Proposition 8 should have gone through the Legislature before being put to a referendum. I think the answer there is an obvious “no” but we will see.
