One Night at Asssscat, or What to Do With a Date... →

What a sad, pathetic guy. After watching the video, I actually wonder if he made the whole thing up; although, of course, regardless of whether it’s true or not, it’s messed up that he thought this was an appropriate story to tell. To me, everything about his monologue seemed like a case of super-nerdy guy trying to impress the cool kids with a story that he thinks will make him look...

Steve Jobs’s Best Quotes →

mbooth: The internet has been buzzing since the announcement yesterday afternoon that Steve Jobs has resigned as the CEO of Apple. The Wall Street Journal’s Digits blog has a great roundup of some of his most quoteworthy soundbites. Some of my favorites: “Creativity is just connecting things. When you ask creative people how they did something, they feel a little guilty because they didn’t...

Welcome to Bizarro Week

Yesterday, my buddy Pedro gave this here Tumblr a shoutout on the Huffington Post and today, one of my tweets ended up on the Los Angeles Times’ Nation Now blog. Oh, and I lived through the first earthquake of my life. Not sure what’s going on this week, but I’m down with it.

Do You Suffer From Decision Fatigue? →

I have so much decision fatigue, it’s not even funny. Before I ordered this purse yesterday, I found seven options I liked and sent them to someone whose aesthetic choices I trust, then bought the one he liked best. I only buy pre-made salads because deciding between all the salad bar fixings causes me too much anxiety. I joke that if I get married eventually, I’m going to make my mom...

Woman Attempts to Avoid Her Image for a Year →

I have to say, I think my self-image has improved since I stopped owning a full-length mirror, two years ago. It wasn’t a conscious choice, I simply don’t have room for it in my bedroom. On occasion, I’ll look at the mirror in my roommate’s room if she’s not home but, more often, I glance at myself in the window of the flower shop next door, on my way to wherever...

What Happened Between the Neanderthals and Us? →

It’s so fascinating to consider that at some point, humans and Neanderthals interbred, despite their genetic differences (although scientists don’t yet know how these varying genes exactly manifested themselves — the stereotype of a hunched-over, be-loinclothed beast is unproven and questioned by many). Interestingly, Neanderthals have been found to be more genetically similar to...

Bachmann's Views On Slavery Are Worse Than You... →

Ryan Lizza’s profile of Bachmann reveals that Bachmann’s odd perspective on slavery isn’t a series of gaffes, but rather “a world view.” Lizza explains that Bachmann is a believer in a kind of Christian conservative reimagining of slavery, where “many Christians opposed slavery” but owned them anyway and didn’t free them because ““it might be...

Eating Bugs to Save the Planet →

I don’t think I’ve ever eaten an insect — at least, that I know of. I guess I’d be open to it, as long as it’s in a form that in no way resembles the bug’s actual carcass (I usually have the same policy about animal meat).

You are too busy being wonderful →

“There is not TIME in your DAY to remind someone of how wonderful you are. And not in the Tyra Banks Disney Channel movie self-empowerment way, either. In the factual way. In the way that if someone does not speak French, and you are walking around speaking French all day long, it’s just not a fair exchange. You do not have TIME on this EARTH to tread water and slow down to educate some idiot re:...
