Every time I see a dog in a movie, I think the same thing: I want that dog. I...
– Roger Ebert, writing about how much he loved his childhood dog. The rest of the essay is both beautiful and heartbreaking.

I’m at Clifton’s for the weekend and there is a party happening not twenty feet away…yet I am in his bedroom in my pajamas on tumblr. I mean, I think I participated in the social activities or whatever for a good while, it’s just that I’m so tired and I suck at beer pong anyways. So why not hole myself up and start reading The Deathly Hallows? Sounds like a prime...
I just saw a guy sitting on a street corner, bike laying askew and shoes sitting next to him. One can only assume that he just barely missed getting hit by a car…and kicked his shoes off in a fit of joy? That is the only plausible answer that I can think of right now. It made me COL.
Yes, season 1 of the atrocity and awesomeness that...
My unwavering love for Seth Cohen persists…he is pretty much the only reason I watched that show. Certainly not for Marisa’s wiiiide range of acting skills or Ryan’s cock-eyed sideways glare (his only real addition to any scene?). Summer is just cute, as she should be.

“Those key chain/wallet/id things were my gateway drug. I think it’s cute and collegiate of you.”
Let it be noted that I verbally harassed her for owning that shit. She’s got bags and checkbook holders and make-up bags. I hated it. But those damn wallets are so conveniently priced, so logically organized…I folded.
(718): no, I didn't make it. Instead, i watched...
fuck you dream (?)
About two nights ago, I had a dream where I managed to cut my right foot off with a plastic knife. In the course of the dream, it was sewn on again somehow. I was walking around with a limp but still going about my everyday activities. It felt so real that at one point during the night I was afraid to crack my ankle (which I do quite often) in real life because then my foot might fall off. Only...

This Is Awesome, You Should Watch It of the Day: San Francisco’s legendary Lombard Street was converted into a playable, life-size version of Milton Bradley’s classic children’s board game Candy Land.
From SFist:
Princess Lolly, Princess Frostine, and King Kandy will be on hand to help celebrate the board game’s 60th anniversary. According to the Examiner, “Kids will draw from a...
The New Year
My sophomore year of college begins on Thursday at 8 AM. I spent all summer worried about whether or not I’d be returning to VCU and here I am. My room is almost settled into, although I will miss having Crepes as a roommate. Like a lot. I didn’t realize just how much time we spent with each other, but good times and bad, I’m so glad she was there. My new apartment-mate is nice...
oh, bother
did i just do the thing where you get mad at a person right before they leave so that their leaving seems less awful and more welcomed? i told myself i wasn’t gonna do it, which meant that my subconscious received the “TAKE LID OFF OF CRAZY JAR” command. well, it takes two to tango…i was provoked, i tell you!
Sometimes I repeat "Alia Shawkat" over and over in...
Eric Bana (I) - Biography →
Ok, so I thought that Bana just did a really good Australian impression…now I know that he does a really good American accent. I feel dumb.
Here's a little tidbit about me:
I’m afraid to listen to music while I sleep because a) I’m scared there are subliminal messages in them and b) it may lower my chances of hearing someone sneak into my room. Oh, and c) it might make me have crazy dreams that I am not prepared to deal with.
It's a grown-up moment
Today I have to go to an optometrist appointment by myself, which may include choosing glasses alone as well. Let’s hope I don’t walk out of there looking like a fool.
