I Am Giving A New(ish) Tumblr A Tutorial
It’s an interesting thing to do. Meet my friend Peter, who you might remember from this post from my old (and short-lived) blog, and who is new to Tumblr-land. I gave him a few people to follow, for starters, but I think beyond that his “following” list should evolve on its own - naturally.
Anyways, welcome Peter! I know you’ve been here for a little while, but I’m...

A Modest Proposal - Tumblr Burgr Meetup
adamiss:
Ok, I’m gonna admit it, I’ve never had Shake Shack. Yeah, I know, sue me. I promise to have it in the next few weeks. I’ve also never been to Corner Bistro or had a Burger at Luger’s.
I have had: Lucky Burger, Brgr, White Horse, Burgers and Cupcakes, Five Guys, Jackson Hole, Chelsea Grill, Island Burger (the chicken is way better), 123 Burger Shot Beer Sliders, Route 66 Cafe, and my...

“If you are a woman of certain age — that age being the age of growing up with books like Summer of Fear and The Girl With The Silver Eyes and Deenie and Then Again, Maybe I Won’t and Are You In The House Alone? and The Cat Ate My Gymsuit and From The Mixed-Up Files of Mrs. Basil E. Frankweiler — then you have probably already been sent a zillion links from your girlfriends leading...
Ladies Rooms
lovepuppy:
Lets just start by saying this certainly isn’t a den of ladylike behavior. I’m not going to go into what I just observed, except for the fact it left me feeling super uncomfortable.
Anyways, I’m wondering: If there are 4 stalls:
[1] [2] [3] [4]
Which stall get used most, least??
I remember learning when I was in 7th grade that the least used stall was the 1st one. And the...
I Love Judge Judy More Than My Own Grandmother And... →
YAY! Latarian Wilson (this kid) to appear on Judge Judy with his Grandmother who is suing his Mom for $5000 in damages owed after seven-year-old hood-rat emulator Latarian went on a joy ride in her SUV.
I can die happy now.

HAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHAHA.
This Is Nothing Against Them Personally...
But…does anyone else feel like the majority of Mary, Megan, and Julia’s posts are actually commercials?
If I’m right, it’s a pseudo-genius scheme, and if I’m wrong, well, then maybe I’m just confused by their earnest repetitiveness.
And this really is nothing against them personally, I’m just curious. Like the recent “Stack Me” phenomenon....
I'm Sorry
Sometimes being held to a high standard is more hurtful than being held to no standard at all.

High-School Melodrama
I’m going to Liz Phair next week and I can’t fucking wait. I just dug through my storage to find all my cds (Um, when was the last time I listened to a CD?? Note to self: upload all albums to comp ASAP - there’s some good stuff in those shiny colorful discs) and discovered my well-loved and until recently forgotten copy of Whip-Smart. Currently listening to it on repeat. Ah, 6th...
The 6th Foot Is A Hoax! →
OK, fine. So there are only 5 feet that have washed ashore. Geez.
A Really Long Swim →
“A polar bear has been discovered on Iceland, which is hundreds of kilometres from the threatened species’ natural habitat, a local photographer said Tuesday.
“The bear is in the north of Iceland near the town of Saudarkrokkur,” Rax Axelsson, a photographer with Iceland’s newspaper of reference, Morgunbladid, told AFP.”
For future reference, if I ever find...

Yes, that’s right. Another one.

– The first (and only?) comment on my Vegas post. I’m not surprised.
That said, envy is also a Mortal Sin. And, in any case, it sucks to be you!
This Is What Happens When You Save Writing A Post... →
It ends up being titled, “My Spiritual Journey…To Vegas” and leads with the following paragraph:
“So, I don’t know if you heard (because I’m kind of a big deal), but I went to Vegas this past weekend. Yup, somehow, through some strange rip in the fabric of the universe, it was decided that I was to hop on board a so-called “Party Plane” and booze my...
Yikes.
I think I might have to leave the West Village. →

If I can live in THIS apartment for $1500/month, I might join the wonderful world of Murray Hill.
While I will never, EVER admit that I live in Murray Hill, I do live within one block of it. So, I won’t argue with your decision and I may, in fact, encourage it.

There's Nothing Like Having The Worst Photo Of You... →
That said, at least Glynnis and I are the last photo in the slideshow, so the chances of people actually making it through to us are slim. I mean, I was on the trip and I got bored. In any case, my inner vanity is coming out and to combat the fug-ness I’m posting two much more entertaining and mildly flattering photos. So there.
And to those of you out there wondering why on earth I would...
Has anyone ever bought Uniqlo jeans? I need new jeans and I dont have the $158 required to re-purchase my current pair.
Basically, I need a pair of simple, well-fitting black skinny (but not too skinny) jeans.
Thoughts?
5th Human Foot Washes Up On Canada Coast →
“A fifth human foot in a year has washed ashore off the coast of British Columbia, and this time it’s a left one.”
I posted about the fourth human foot, I believe, but now I cannot find it. As soon as I can, I will link to it.
I love Canada, and Vancouver - my hometown - in particular.
Britney Spears At BARE Pool In Vegas →
Looks like we just missed her!
Blargh
I am dressed entirely inappropriately for the weather. Besides being half asleep until approximately 2 hours into this work day, I dressed for the supposed “hail and thunderstorms” that Weather.com predicted. Assholes.
Sneakers and socks = way too hot and stuffy.
Also, I was lazy so I threw on the same ill-fitting t-shirt that I’ve been wearing for the last three days. I feel...

It’s official. I’ve been Gawkered.

Check Blakeley’s Tumblr, he’s been photoblogging the whole experience. Almost home!
Fried Rice, Chicken Fingers, and Potatoe Skins...
I am one of three people in bed, ordering room service, and peacing out at midnight in Vegas. Eh, fuck Vegas. But, to clarify, not “fuck Thrillist” - Thrillist rocked and continues to rock. I, on the other hand, am just an anti-social loser who - according to my sister - feels like middle America barfed and thus we have Vegas. Fact. Night, Night!
I'm an Asshole
You know what’s awkward? Asking everyone around you if the stuff on your seat is theirs, only to realize its your gift bag.
