At separate times this morning I have shown my toddler nephew both ”When We Grow Up” (Michael Jackson and Roberta Flack) and “Halocene” by Bon Iver. He really liked the Bon Iver. My dad did not.
I know what/who I am. Ugh do I ever.

The [German?] word for
that feeling when you like a song but KNOW it’s really bad, like it’s not actually a good song, and you’re embarrassed to like it. But it’s not a guilty pleasure because with guilty pleasures they’re soooo bad that everyone is ashamed to like them. Instead, this song is only bad to a specific type of person who can discern shitty from not shitty and formulaic from...

#1 I had a dream last night that I showed up late to a yoga class (not at my studio I have no fucking clue where I was) and went right into warrior 2 and the instructor gave me some bullshit piece of equipment that looked like a floating raft and said I needed to use it and I said “Actually, I’d prefer not to. Is there anything wrong with my form? Would you fix it for me?” and...

Has there ever been a Dad in the history of dads who was like, “you know it’s chilly in our house, let’s turn up the thermostat!!” ??
“If you’re cold then put on a sweater, Elizabeth. I feel fine.”
“DO NOT touch my thermostat, you’re not even wearing socks. Put on some wool socks. You need slippers.”
“It costs me a fortune...

KATE HAD BABBY DAX!!!!
so excited for her and Dominic. love you guys.
I accidentally said to my boss’s wife that she is Tami Taylor and started yelling “clear eyes full hearts can’t lose” at the end of the speech he gave about our first year together as a commercial start-up.
Needless to say I am nervous that this means end of day they are going to start watching FNL thinking I am insulting them about being really dramatic when really it’s a HUGE compliment and...

#1. When I came in and showed my coworkers my rings they all asked if I was engaged and I was like “basically” and they were like “do we say congratulations?” and I was like “you guys we have a dog — I mean at that point you’re in it to win it” but now I am like ughhh my family is going to ask about it and I’m gonna be like “you guys...

Just realized the part in “power” when he says “this is way too much, I need a moment” — that sound bite is pretty much 2011 for me.

Tim: All right, it is cavity time. Ah, here we go. Which reminds me, did you hear the one about the rabbi and the farmer’s daughter? Huh?
Jerry: Hey.
Tim: Those aren’t mahtzah balls.
Jerry: Tim, do you think you should be making jokes like that?
Tim: Why not? I’m Jewish, remember?
Jerry: I know, but…
Tim: Jerry, it’s our sense of humor that sustained us as a...

marianniepants:
This is an essay that I wrote and it came out in PANK today. Neato! If you want to listen to it instead of reading it—because who reads, anyway?—that is also an option. Spooky.

I am a woman on the verge of a nervous breakdown, because our showerhead is wonky. Sometimes people at work bake things and I am forced to eat them against my will. It’s raining. The skin around my eyes is thinner than it was this time last year. I made tea, I was really excited about it and then I burnt my tongue. I do that approximately three times a week. My...

Tumblr crowdsourcing - Etsy sellers
So you all have seen some of the collages I have done recently — pretty straight forward as to what I like to do. Do you think I should bother creating an Etsy seller account for photocopied postcards, cards, etc? I don’t know how competitive that kind of art work or that area is on the site, I do know that even though I love thrifting I don’t want to even bother with selling...

I should preface this with the fact that this morning I cried on the bus at a part when one of the characters in The Hunger Games dies. So I’m a pretty open crier.
But, the last 15 minutes of six feet under (the series finale) just absolutely wrecked me.
I thought The Wire wore me out, but I haven’t cried this much since I watched Dancer in the Dark and had to drink some water and take a walk....
