Cleverly disguised as a responsible adult
My sister bought me 2 magazine subscriptions from my nieces fundraiser:
- Dwell: I just flipped through the pages and I already KNOW it’s going to make me dream about (depending on my mood) a gorgeous house in the suburbs with wall length book shelves and an open kitchen OR of a lovely prewar on the UWS with exposed brick and a leather sectional
- Mac Life: which I’m sure will be way over my head, I will probably just look at the pretty pictures and daydream of being bffs with Steve Jobs
I also purchased 2 subscriptions from the aforementioned fundraiser, Glamour and Elle. WHY???????? I broke the golden rule, you know the one from the sunscreen song that was really big circa 1998 “DON’T READ BEAUTY MAGAZINES, THEY WILL ONLY MAKE YOU FEEL UGLY”. I think he forgot to mention that they will make you dissatisfied with your hair face clothes jackets shoes life etc.
FURTHERMORE I subscribe to New York Magazine which I hardly ever get through by the following Monday.
SO many magazines, so little time! Sometimes I fantasize about how much reading I would get done if I had a commute to work. But honestly all I want to do right now is read my tumblr dashboard and catch up on google reader but these magazines are glaring at me from the coffee table!!!!
I started singing “I’ll get you my pretty and your little dog too” in my head while I watched this…and I’ve never even seen the wizard of oz!! I’ve just heard the phrase in so many different contexts and apparently I subconsciously associate it with phagocytosis..anyways here is a little dose of Sunday Science for you..enjoy!

Neutrophils are the most abundant type of white blood cells in mammals and form an essential part of the innate immune system.

Before I attended the Monster Ball, I thought Lady GaGa was good—really fun pop songs, crazy performances, etc—but after seeing her live it all sort of came together for me. She is an artist in every sense of the word…her ability to write refreshing, fun, uninhibited pop music, the planning and creativity that go into her shows, her devotion to her superfans, everything…I completely support her and am so excited to see what she does next.

Andrew McMahon on Returning to the Studio with Something Corporate for Upcoming Release
We have more good news for fans stoked about seminal Orange County alt-pop act Something Corporate reuniting for the first time in five years to headline the second day of Bamboozle on March 28. The band, which blew up in 2002 with the smash “If You C Jordan,” spent last week in a Santa Monica recording studio.
“We basically went back with this idea that we would kind of revisit a couple of demos that we never really ended up putting on the first two [Something Corporate] records but that we still loved and that we always wanted to get to,” says piano-playing front man Andrew McMahon. “So, there’s a song by Josh [Partington], my guitar player, called ‘Wait’ that we played acoustic before but went in and figured we’d do a full band version.
“We did ‘Wait’ and then did an old song of mine called ‘Letters to Noelle,’” he continues while seated on a metal folding chair at the rehearsal space for his other band, Jack’s Mannequin, in Mates Studio of North Hollywood. ”We went back into the studio sort of with the idea that we wouldn’t be bringing in brand new material so we could get it done quickly and not have to do a bunch of pre-production and stuff. We just hung out in the studio for a week. First time we had been in a studio together in, God, probably four or five years.”
The demo versions of “Wait” and “Letters to Noelle” originally appeared on the super obscure Galaxy Sessions EP, which McMahon gave away to members of Something Corporate’s mailing list who sold more than five tickets to the band’s May 11, 2001, show at House of Blues Anaheim. Something Corporate became the first unsigned OC band to sell out the venue.
The freshly recorded versions of ”Wait” and “Letters to Noelle” will appear on an as-yet-untitled Something Corporate “best of” compilation scheduled for release in late April or early May on Universal Music Enterprises. “We just did those two songs for the record,” McMahon says. “We’re working on possibly a couple of remixes, too, that are still kind of up in the air. I think there should probably be three or four tracks—whether people have heard them before or not I don’t know—but that will be the new recordings, or new mixes.”

My 4 year old niece Megan… she is the cutest. She has so much personality too, probably way more than most 4 year olds. It makes me so upset that she won’t remember a time when I was always around…and so jealous that her other aunts get to see her, her brother, and her sister whenever they want..I wish I could call them right now…gah I need to stop, I’m making myself homesick!
the five stages of grief (waking up before 7:30 edition)
- denial: “is that my alarm? that is not my alarm. it is not time to wake up. i just fell asleep. i have been asleep for five minutes. it cannot possibly be the morning. no way. is this real life? this isn’t happening.”
- bargaining (aka a clash of the titans between the tired version of me and the academic overachiever version of me): “okay, do you really have to go to this class? skip it once. just skip it. andrew carnegie and oil monopolies and the 14th amendment will still be there next class. just don’t go. you can afford to miss it once.” “ARE YOU KIDDING ME I CANNOT SKIP CLASS, I WILL FALL BEHIND AND THE PROFESSOR WILL KNOW AND I CANNOT SHOW WEAKNESS FKJGHDFJGHDF”
- anger: “i hate myself. i hope taxi hits me while i’m crossing tremont street. what kind of person signs up for an 8:30 class knowing they live a half hour away? what kind of person does that to themselves. fuck. you.”
- sadness: “the morning is dark and cold and unforgiving and my bed is so warm and i want to turn on some acousticy songs and cry.”
- acceptance: remove myself from bed and begin minute by minute countdown to my 11:30AM nap. winner.
2a. bargaining with the state of your higene: “can i risk not showering this morning? eeeh……20 more minutes sleep. i mean…i can shower tomorrow. my hair’s still good. ill just put it in a ponytail. i’m fine.”
oh my god, it’s like you guys are reading my mind. i have this argument with myself every. day. regardless of what time i have to wake up.
Hahahah I lost the argument with myself this morning, skipped my class and went back to sleep
hilarious
interesting that this made it from vanessa to alaina. this is literally my life. crossing tremont street at all.
Cool that I am supposed to be a “professional” now and I STILL go through this almost every morning… I always make it to work but not until hitting snooze 4-8 times. Bargaining with personal hygiene and “if I walk really fast” definitely happens more often than it ever should.
LOST: Every Timeline, Relationship and Twist (In 5 Minutes)
[submitted by radiopantsdance]
LOST fans never cease to amaze me. This rules!
I don’t really talk about it in crowds anymore. Maybe I’ll make an offhand comment about Jacob or the statue or something at a party, and see if anyone in the crowd gets a glimmer of recognition in their eyes, and then I’ll know I have a fellow LOST watcher in my midst. But more often then not it’ll end awkwardly with someone saying “Oh, I don’t watch that, I tried watching it for a couple seasons, but lost interest when [smoke monster, four toed statue, polar bear, etc.],” and I’ll nod politely and agree that the show got [boring, weird, unbelievable] at some point. The reality is, I’m just as obsessed with the show as I was four years ago, and I feel like I’m being rewarded for that loyalty tonight, with the start of what I’m hoping will be an awesome season.
Perhaps I’m just sentimentally attached to the show. Do you remember where you were in your life when you started watching LOST? I’m so excited to find out what this season has in store for us loyals - the ones that suspended our disbelief and looked past all the bullshit. I’ve never been one to walk away when shit got a little weird, so I don’t mind being the girl at the party with an unhealthy obsession with LOST.
