Well now I have to watch this entire show, or at least until he gets beheaded or something. Since, you know, there is limited footage of this man’s former beauty.
Also lawl this mofo’s vaguely Mediterranean accent.

I visited a studio opening up in June the other day that’s in the same neighborhood as a bunch of my friends. It’s beautiful, huge, and has a balcony. It’s also pretty expensive, but still $200 cheaper than comparable apartments in the area. Today I visited a house that I might share with two girls from my floor and I am having misgivings. It is a lot cheaper, but I...

The length of this conversation I’m having with Hillary about my… untoward feelings about a very attractive and eccentric vlogger is disconcerting. This is what BFFs (and, apparently, YouTube) are for.

Woman in Comedy: A really scary thing happened to...
gabydunn:
Part of me thinks it’s too soon to be writing about this because I don’t think I’ve completely processed how I feel, but I also think maybe this has happened to other women and I should talk about it in as raw a way as possible. I’m still really embarrassed and ashamed and garbled up inside, but maybe this can start a helpful discussion in terms of women and comedy.
Last night, I was...

Interview with Jesse Lacey (Brand New), Feb. 10... →
literatis:
I love this man so much.
I think that whole idea of ‘no regrets’ was always a silly idea to me, because of course I regret all the places I went wrong. But that’s what creating anything, and being human, is about. Of course, if I could go back and knew what I know now, I absolutely would do it differently, I’d do it the right way, but part of being human is that we can’t go back, we...

Ahh I love clearing closests/finding new stuff/going kind of window shopping. Can we do that + coffee when I come to Boston this fall?!
Yes!! I am seriously going to go through all of my clothes and use some of my tax return on developing depth of wardrobe. Boston has excellent shopping.
so my apartment plan for next year fell through
currently hunting for an overpriced studio in boston. i’m going to need you all to light some candles for me.

Today would have been my grandfather’s 87th birthday. He passed away May 24, 2010. On his last birthday, two years ago, I sewed him a hot/cold pack stuffed with flax seed because he often had muscle soreness from his radiation treatments. I was never particularly good at gift-giving, but everything meant so much to my grandfather. He felt blessed every day.
My grandmother put a lovely...

This isn’t antisocial. It isn’t a sign of depression. It does not call for medication. For introverts, to be alone with our thoughts is as restorative as sleeping, as nourishing as eating. Our motto: “I’m okay, you’re okay—in small doses.”
— Jonathan Rauch, “Caring for Your Introvert,” The Atlantic
All this reading about introversion is...
