Dear 90-year old inhabitants of neighbouring units
I apologize in advance. I know, waiting until 1am to take the bins out (including the one with the hundreds of rattling glass bottles in it) is callous, not lessened by the fact that I live right at the back of this cul-de-sac and have to walk past all of your front windows to get to the curb. I realise it’s highly inconsiderate of me to be making “a ruckus”, as one of you fondly...
Why being smart won't get you laid →
I’ve accepted the fact I’ll never meet someone dateable that’s as clever and good-looking as me, but even then it’s hard to find single girls in this goddamn town. [via]
Scattegories
I played it for the first time last night and killed everyone. It’s hard making friends when you’re a genius. And a homicidal maniac.

No responsibility, relatively little pressure, 100% disposable income. Why don’t more people look back fondly on their teenage years?
I think I’ve peaked.
Tess Lynch is undeniably a babe →
As if she isn’t fawned over enough, I just wanted you to take a moment out of your day to reflect on how much of a babe Tess Lynch is… That’s it, back to work.
Post-script: While it may seem I have “a thing” for all my followers, the truth is… no, yeah, I actually do. Hey there, topherchris ;)
Frustration
I always get wickedly inspired when I’m reading interviews with designers like the guys from Karlssonwilker (my current favorite studio. Some kids follow AFL (more like GayFL, right?), I follow design studios). Unfortunately the only time I read designer interviews happens to be on a computer that doesn’t have the Adobe Suite. Consequently I have a stack of A4 paper with crudely drawn...

“Is everyone in favor of sponsoring a picnic for humanists with families?” asked the board president, Jonathan Lamb, a 27-year-old meteorologist, eliciting a chorus of “ayes.”

– Not kidding, imagining little Molls going “Do you promise?” is literally the cutest fucking thing ever. Kill your LOLcats, forget FAILdogs or whatev. Molly McAleer blows that shit out of the water.

its the little things, as always, that get to you.
theres been so many letters, phone calls, emails, everything, pouring, cascading, fawning into this household - like doves. the house is filled with flowers on nearly every surface.
but its the little things, like a candy bar today, that made me well up. you’d never expect the sight of a Bassets Sherbert Fountain to make you well...
“I define success as not working, and I’m a king”
– Along with all the songs about alcoholism, it’s probably not that surprising that I’m into NOFX.
Recap of the week so far
Spent all of yesterday catching up on street fashion
Spent most of today playing Pokemon and being generally unhealthy
New NOFX album is coming out tomorrow
My unlimited edition Avery Edison ultra-collectible knick-knack should be arriving in the mail soon. I don’t know what it is but I’m excited. Fingers crossed for anthrax!
And it’s only Monday. This much awesome means...
NEW NOFX ALBUM COMES OUT TOMORROW →
So fucking psyched.
hipster bullshit : the first mix by G3K →
So I listen to this pretty often when I’m in the mood for some mindless party music. Found it when Molls pimped it a while back. It’s one of the better mixes I’ve heard, so if you’re into this kinda thing, I highly recommend.
TIME's Most Influence Person of 2009 is... Moot? →
Hey, Mainstream Media: Roll over and die. If you genuinely believe Moot has any influence over what /b/ does, then you’re as ludicrously deluded as we all assumed you were. Moot didn’t organize the poll-hacking, the users did. Moot didn’t organize the Scientology raid, the users did. Please stop before you damage the credibility of actual journalism irreparably (if you...

A women is giving birth in a hospital, after hours in labor she finally has her child. The doctor pick up the child looks it over and says “Congratulations! you have a beautiful, healthy baby boy” “Oh thank god” says the mother. Then the doctor starts throwing the baby in the air “YES VERY HEALTHY!’ he shouts, “hey be careful with my son” says the...
Pretty much everyone laid off from Idolator :( →
So what happens when Maura leaves? Will I… will I have to go to Pitchfork? Shudder. I hadn’t realised it until I read the post but most of the writers Maura named I enjoy reading more than any other. Especially Mike Barthel, Dan Gibson and Michaelangelo Matos. This year sucks.

For keeping up with street fashion. I just spent the last two hours on High Snobiety and AskMen reading designer interviews and style tips.

the best day of my life.
nedhepburn:
about six months ago i got very drunk. very, very drunk.
i was up visiting my parents in San Jose and i had gotten haggard on rum and beer in my friend jon’s garage the night before. i’d been sitting infront of the tv feeling very sorry for myself until my father said “why dont you ride the bike with me?”.
i agreed, for whatever reason. he was all ready to go in maybe two or three...

im not sure what to do. keep writing, i guess. thats all i can do. that and act. the neighborhood kids (kids! between ages 15-17!) took me out for tacos, the first real meal i’ve had in over four days. and we talked. i told them things they should know in life, like how pot really isn’t that bad but you should not under any circumstances do it until you’re at least start paying your...
Eli Roth is adapting "Cell"?
Just heard the news. That is bullshit. I’m sure I’ll see it, but I’m sure I’ll be thoroughly dissatisfied. It’s one of my favorite Stephen King stories (perhap because it was the first one I read).

Just… weird. Elaborate storylines in porn are awesome.
