Great Line:

“Like an aging sitcom that keeps getting moved to a worse and worse time slot, Dennis Rodman’s celebrity is near cancellation.” 

— from No Rebound: Can Dennis Rodman Survive Retirement? by Stephen Rodrick

I used to make long speeches to you after you left. I used to talk to you all the time, even though I was alone. I walked around for months talking to you. Now I don’t know what to say. It was easier when I just imagined you.

PSA: Banana Bunkers are a thing. And the description copy for them is just a total “that’s what she said.”
Ripe bananas can rest easy as they nestle within these protective Banana Bunkers. A hard plastic design protects the soft fruit from getting bruised or crushed in backpacks or purses, and a collapsible midsection expands and contracts to accommodate larger or smaller specimens . The BPA-free case is also dishwasher safe to prevent new bananas from tasting like old bananas.

I often think of the space of a page as a stage, with words, letters, syllable, characters moving across.

“A very merry Christmas, and a happy New Year. Let’s hope it’s a good one, without any fear.”

These lyrics are particularly heartbreaking in light of what happened today. Thank you to Mavis Staples, Jeff Tweedy, Sean Lennon and the Harlem Gospel Choir for this beautiful rendition of the John Lennon and Yoko Ono classic “Happy Xmas (War is Over).”

Many of us these days, we dread the death of a loved one. It is the ugly truth of Life that keeps us feeling terrified & alone. I wish we could also appreciate the time that lies right beside the end of time.

- Fiona Apple, in a letter to fans following her announcement that she will be postponing the next leg of her tour to be with her ailing dog

You guys, at first glance I thought this pic of MK Olsen and her bf was John Cusack with his daughter.

A LONG overdue thank you/shoutout to Carolyn (cboowho.tumblr.com), my partner in the latest exchange organized by SIMYAM (So I Made You a Mixtape —formerly known as Mixtape Madness).
In addition to the sweet tunes, Carolyn added some sweet treats, sweet shades, sweet nailpolish and sweet crafty alphabet letters — I consumed all with great haste. This was her first round, and she crushed it.
Without further adieu, the mix:

Because if the current Congress were actually and physically on fire, they couldn’t pass a Throw Water on Congress Act.

Planning for Autographs at Hoosier Hysteria

  • Me: you could bring a cake and have them sign their names in icing
  • A: hahahaha ... i bet we'd get in the newspaper or something if we did that
  • Me: we'd be memorable ... but I'm pretty awkward ... I'd probably end up accidentally dropping a cake in Christian Watford's lap ... then freaking out and trying to wipe it off
