This one goes out to Mr. Cory Null.
Maybe if you play your cards right, I’ll give you the physical photo sometime.

Lost and Found
I love old junk. The walls of my apartment are covered in ugly paintings, found photos, lunch trays, and other borderline tacky things I’ve found over the last several years. I have crates and drawers of more of it just sitting around for a rainy day. Some of it will eventually decorate my apartment. Some will be given away in weird care packages. Some of it will just sit there for me to...

“The lyrics are purely gibberish and are, apparently, intended to sound phonetically and tonally like English. Thus, it’s often said of the song that this is how English sounds to non-English speakers. Enjoy.”

Exclusive If I Had a Blog Mix!
This will probably wind up on the 12 blog eventually, but I post so many there, people told me to hold off. So guess what. I’m posting it here.
It’s entitled “Cheap Imitation of a Wes Anderson Soundtrack.”
Do I need to explain that?
NO.

It took a while because I haven’t had the time to focus on it, but I finally finished reading “Trickster Makes This World” by Lewis Hyde.
Every time I picked it up, he seemed to answer some question I’d been grappling with. As a result I will probably consider this some sort of creative bible for a while. The passages regarding accident, contingency, and control seemed...

Stupid image backlog
I feel pretty good about all of these.
Think you're cut out for 12.7?

Presumably, some of you are wondering how be a part of 12. The good news is that we’re gonna tell you. The bad news is that we’re not going to tell you yet. Check back February 1 for instructions and the application deadline.

A while back I had this idea of creating a mental playlist of happy songs. The point is that most people would be familiar with all or most of the songs on the list. You would read the list and pick a song and be able to imagine it, and because the song is so happy, you in turn would feel happier. I wrote the list for those conditions and decided I might as well just compile it for real....
Find the good.
Over the past few months I’ve definitely experienced a sense of awareness and outlook that is quite different from anything I’ve felt in the past. I am so defined by my bitterness and hate for things. While I don’t deny that I certainly express these things, they are no longer the absolute defining qualities of my personality. (Some people might disagree, but those people didn’t know me when I was...
The Room
I finally saw this movie last night. Best watched with a group of friends. Trust me.
A classic case of so bad it’s good.

I’m not sure where my friend found this, but it seems pretty accurate, especially given the current work situation we’re in. Steadily approaching #5 right now.
Dammit.
Yes, I went to the fan page.
Um. I watched this. →
The seriousness with which these people speak about something so stupid is what makes this worth it. It is incredible.

Holy cow did I spend a lot of time on my couch over the holiday break. So much that my couch now has an official soundtrack.
Look at this guy! He’s digging my couch and the tunes!

CNN is surprisingly funny.
It may be 2010, which is sort of like the future considering that it was 2009 just a couple of days ago, but are we really ready to start talking moon holes? Really? The use of the word “might” MIGHT suggest that, yes, it is a little too early to to start talking moon holes, CNN.
Just the other day one of their headlines read, “Can Dogs Sniff Out Underwear Bombs?” I...

I’m not sure it was actually worth it.
