I remember planning play dates when I was little. This is how they would go.
(On the phone)
Me: Hello, this is Julia Heffernan. Is so-and-so there?
Other Person: Yes, sure. One second.

Me: Ok. Can my mom talk to your mom?
So-and-so: Yeah. (off the phone “Mommmm will you come talk to...

WatchFriendly Fires ‘Skeleton Boy’ by Clemens Habicht on Vimeo “Edgy, monochromatic music video for Friendly Fires, directed by Clemens Habicht. The band were transformed into Skeleton Boys as a nod to the track’s title, with the aid of double-sided sticky tape, fans and trillions of bean bag balls.” (via Vimeo)

YOU MUST CHOOSE ONE
Last night, for the first time, I viewed my iPhone as more of a burden than a useful tool to getting things done. Always being connected, always being available, that sort of stuff. Of course one of the reasons was the Tumblrette app but I figure it’s more that I always have my iPhone...
CALLING ALL LOST FANS
tjelle:
Ok People, we have a MAJOR problem. LOST is back on tonight and I never found the time to finish the last few episodes….as in I only made it to disk 4. Anyone want to fill me in?
I’m in the same boat. Fell asleep during the season finale, never did get around to watching it before it was auto-deleted from my DVR. Ugh, I wish they did a recap episode.

Regarding the Eames House
travisekmark:
Charles and Ray proposed that the home they designed would be for a married couple who were basically apartment dwellers working in design and graphic arts, and who wanted a home that would make no demands for itself, but would, instead serve as a background for as Charles would say, “life in work” with nature as a “shock absorber.” The first plan of their home, known as the Bridge...

They have names like “S.E. Cupp” or “Hampton Williams” or “Tucker Carlson” or “Grover Norquist”, which sound like they were generated by some weird web WASP name generator. Bow-tie porn names.
They write horribly, out of William F Buckley’s thesaurus. They “regale”, and plan “debauchery” and drink “frothy Belgian stouts”. Their two choices politically are to...

Battle Bacon
Holy crap. Iron Chef America’s secret ingredient tonight is bacon, fucking bacon. And Alton Brown is rubbing it in my face that he’s the only one that can smell it.

previous/next buttons… I spend half of my time accidentally going to content I have already seen. How are you to remember if previous means previously posted ie. older or if next actually means after ie newer.
Next means older.
I think I just figured that out for myself. I have tumbled for almost a year.
