me: sister is having people over tonight, so I can't build lego
jonesy: ugh. people in the basement?
me: yep
jonesy: whats so good about the damn basement anyway?
jonesy: its a goddamn basement
me: I never said it was all that great?
me: but its where my sister set up her Wii
jonesy: oh
jonesy: and Wii Bowling is basically group foreplay in our modern gilded era.
The H&M here doesn’t feel at all like the ones in Chicago or Copenhagen. It seem to carry only the most Abercrombie parts of the line.
I suppose it’s because its in a suburb of Cleveland, with the target demographic being upper upper middle class white future-frat-boys of amerika.
@ eye doctor: “which is better… 1… or 2” I don’t know! Can’t you use science?!
Brant Charles's Commencement Speech To MIT
bullshit : aedison:
I’m Brant Charles, and 14 years ago I was just like you. Now I’m a meta-physicist.
Being a meta-physicist is awesome and it isn’t even hard. Newton discovered gravity whilst lounging under a tree. Einstein came up with most of his theories by daydreaming. Stephen Hawking just sits in a chair all day.
And the stuff we do is fun, too. Galileo? Dropping the feather and...
final thoughts on lookbook.nu; I go shopping tomorrow afternoon
six more possibilities: 1 2 3 4 5 6
I don’t want to spend a lot of money, also the mall outdoor lifestyle center has only mnstrm stuff. We’ll see. Expect an awesome fashion show tomorrow!!!
A few weeks ago I bought Flight Volume 5, and since then I’ve wanted to build the “Dragon Tank” from this comic.
This is what I have so far.
Photographing black is hard, especially when just taking work-in-progress pics, and not wanting to set up actual lights and so forth.
I have to finish by Friday, or I won’t be able to work on it until spring break, possibly not...

The dentist’s assistant was also his daughter. Kind of neat, but maybe a bit too cutesie.
I thought I was going to be the oldest person in the orthodontist’s office by 10 years but there was a 90 year old man.
Good news is, the bits the doc puts on are super minimal and far back that no one can see them and people don’t notice them when making out with me. Not that a bunch of people are constantly making out with me… but I’ve had these bits in for over a year,...
Back in elementary school when everyone took the bus they had these notices every once in a while to remind the students about not having laces or strings hanging off our clothes, because they could get trapped in the doors of the bus and then it would drive away dragging us behind dying and so forth.
I’m about done looking at Lookbook.nu, everything gets to be the same after a while. But...
Just saw Cloverfield for the first time. Spent a lot of time thinking “who is that?” and then “OH! Lesbian chick from Mean Girls!” and then “WTF she exploded!?”

I do this all the time now.
this changes everything.
Whenever someone posts something along the lines of “you are a nerd if you get this” or “I doubt anyone will know what this is from” I always know/understand. Is this depressing or awesome?
Is it possible for colleges to have web sites that work? My login is never correct, even when it is, and I have to log on 5 times in as many minutes because I don’t fucking know why. And I have to “waive insurance” whatever that means and then when I put in phone numbers its three seperate boxes and it doesn’t auto-skip to the next one so it’s all [123] ugh tab!...
More thoughts on Lookbook.nu
This website has no end. If I scroll to the bottom, more pics load. It’s a bottomless pit of fashion.
Here are more things I could maybe possibly wear: 1 2 3 4 5 6 7 (except never those boots in #7)
Things I don’t ever want to wear:
scarves (feel like an affectation, unless I’m outside + cold)
hats (same)
rings, necklaces, bracelets,...

One Act Play
Scene: Christmas morning
Brother and I each open a present, jackets.
me: medium?
brother: small?
mom/santa: oops!
Jacket swap
‘nother observation re lookbook - is it impossible to be fashionable without skinny jeans? I feel bad for heavier people… also sometimes I need to hold more than a toothpick in my pockets…
I’ve been looking at Lookbook.nu today. First off, I keep having to check the URL to make sure I haven’t somehow shifted over to Hipster Runoff.
My purpose is that I’ll be going clothes shopping next week, to get some new stuff for school. Especially winter-appropriate stuff, I’m well set on t-shirts, not so much long sleeve affairs. So I thought maybe Lookbook would...

HEY! Who are you? Haha.
I’m 3rd year UC and 2nd year Int. Design, and Chicago & Portland are my dream co-op cities and Copenhagen for DIS study abroad. Failed Construction I (nice, right?) so Jerry’s going to have me double section because I’m Spring/Fall… so my first co-op will be 6 months long and...

After the annual Christmas Chaos huge family gathering hosted at the house, and the ensueing cleanup, my family sat down to watch Dr Horrible’s Sing Along Blog which she got me for Christmas.
Folks had never seen it before, they liked it until the very end, where my mom objected to the ending, saying that “its Christmas and a musical, it should be happy!”

A lot of very cool concepts. My favorites are #23 Window To The World, #35 The Ripple Faucet, #42 The Pocket Light and #48 The Collapsible Surfboard
Awesome stuff.

My mom calls in from the other room, “What language is this away message in?”
Answer: “um…. internet?”

Thoughts at Christmas Eve Mass
Oh hey they installed a hot tub at the front!
Is it “wrong” to check people out at church?
My favorite part is the thumb thing over head, lips, and chest.
You can really tell which songs were written in English and which were poorly translated from Latin.

How do I reconcile being a militant agnostic with going to church in 2 hours? Or with Christmas in general?
I suppose I’ll go through the motions (stand up, sit down, pray pray pray!) as a gift to my dad. Do I still get communion? What if the holy water burns me?
