A New Low!

After about two straight hours of Nirvana youtube videos, I didn't think it was possible. And yet!

finely ground espresso + mug + boiling water on top + dash of milk= stupid American's Turkish coffee.

in my efforts to not wake up the sleeping dudes on my couch, this seemed the obvious solution. instead i woke them up and now have black teeth.


t minus 36 hours to thesis, reason to go on

.... anybody?

xo, xr,

ninja that shit

Master Splinter says:

Will, my son, it is the way of the ninja to use Scooby Doo quotes in your thesis.

unknown.jpg
what does it mean if i found the perfect quote to sum up my thesis-- its themes, theories and motifs-- even to the point where maybe i'll even use it as a chapter title, or at the very least on one of the inside pages before the introduction, so it's almost the first thing you see.. but that the quote happens to be:

"what would a ghost from outerspace want with yesterday's   newspaper?"

-fred, from scooby-doo


IT SAYS IT ALL

OH MY GOD

THIS ISN'T FAIR

WHERE IN THE FUCKING JELLYBEAN PAPER DOES IT SAY WHETHER OR NOT YOU CAN USE RETARDED SCOOBY DOO QUOTES???

more prtyz

topiary party!
this is a little in-joke for yourself. blow a couple hundred on shrubs and cut them into dinosaurs, then invite friends over to celebrate your new vocation. the key is to stay sincere while your guests wonder if you've lost it. you'll chuckle to yourself, but after a while you'll wonder if you really are crazy. this can be reworked with lapidary, vexillology, terrarium-making, etc.

WASP party, or: tiny deaths of the soul party
"this cake is sinful, allison. i'm supposed to be no-carb but i'm cheating. have you seen the langs recently? they just redid ollie's study. they had a little get-together. i was surprised you missed it. this music is so unusual, is it brazilian?"

have i shown you this youtube video party
this is like a tupperware party, but less talkative and physical. psychadelics/downers welcome. no laptop no entry.

Bated breath

R. Crumb has finished his graphic novel version of Genesis! Too bad my thesis was not actually about this. http://www.crumbproducts.com/

just because it's trite doesn't mean it isn't true

wait a minute...

Words(?)

So I have recently come back to my academic writing after a long and unpopular flirtation with screenwriting, and I am verily reminded of the fact that I have never made sense in college. I blame myself, but also the language which with I am supposed to write. I thought it could be a nice idea to list all the words that Word says you spelled wrong but you know you didn't.

i.e. locational, gentrifier, boosterist, reurbanization, romanticization, consolidationalist, suburbanization, ethnicized

"what are the signs of the end times?"

i just addressed an email to "pierre bourdieu" instead of writing a paragraph about him. 
well, doesn't HE look cozy.

And now..

back to my thesis:

for Dan/Andrea

dan: proof that t-pain's career has the potential to go everywhere and nowhere at once. 



unfortunately t-pain doesn't jizz in his pants on this one, and the dudes have clearly sacrificed some content in lieu of impressive melodic reproductions of every other song out there in the pitch correction universe,  but whateverr

blame it the dexexexexexedrine?

happy saturday!

more party ideas!

body painting / fake irony party
"ha, whatever, it's not like this is about boobies - we're way too evolved to care about boobies, but we'll go to any lengths to taunt the squares." (BONER)

steam room freakout party
this involves the freeman athletic center, hallucinogens, one of those "scary halloween" soundtracks, and pretty serious douchebags for friends.

postponed surgery party
if you have surgery coming up, postpone it and have a party instead!

malevolent forces of god and nature party
stand on the edge of a high place with your arms outstretched for 24  hours, come rain or come shine or come strong gusts of wind. not much of a party, but i'm doing it tonight!

Only better?

Just like nevver.com!
