check out this six-page-long dress code issued to a sorority at cornell. (i wanted to find a picture of some really classy sorority girls, but that google image search became real NSFW real fast.)

thx liz.

movie review time!

last night, john, g.animalz, liz herbz, rachel and i watched paranormal activity in a dark living room surrounded by more candy than you've ever seen. we all had a great time. it WAS pretty scary when it wasn't kind of dumb.

i give it: 11 biscuits for the scary parts and 4 biscuits for the rest.

here's a tip:
when you watch it, be sure to consider the possibility of the 'thing' being the ghost of an overly-friendly t-rex with a pesky lack of tail-awareness.

watch out

this is what i want to happen to kismet. via

aren't libraries the best?

fact: everyone loves a good library. i dont have to tell you that. today, the huffington post has compiled a pretty cool slideshow of library spaces around the world, old and new. you can rate them, too. so it's interactive!!

that reminded me that during a recent stroll, john and i stopped in the brooklyn historical society to check 'er out, and were pleasantly surprised to find this little gem, the othmer library.

what's that? you were wondering what my favorite library is? oh, well, that's pretty easy. it's the delft university library by mecanoo, in the netherlands!

what's your favorite?

time to learn something!!!

Tennessee forward Wayne Chism doesn't seem to mind dealing with the media, but when you're Wayne Chism, you have priorities. Time is a scarce resource. You must use the day's allotted 24 hours in the most efficient manner possible. This requires economic choices.

Let it be known, then, that when faced with the decision between "talking to the media" and "scarfing mediocre breakfast food at Waffle House," Chism goes with the mediocre breakfast food every time:

WayneChism:

"Every second I'm talking to you is another second I'm not at Waffle House."

i just want to get in a ball under my desk and cry. in a good way.

well that's insulting

jenni farley, aka JWOWW of MTV's jersey shore, is now a 'designer' with her own 'design' company. jdubz bio implies she started the co. before she whore-ed herself on the TV, and after studying god-knows-what for four years at an unnamed local university. her bio also states that her main passion in life is graphic design, [i think that's some of her handiwork to the left, to the left.] which is nothing if not reinforced by her constant jabbering on about the likes of stefan sagmeister and massimo vignelli while wearing scarf tops at karma, am i right? and speaking of that infamous top, you can now buyone! but don't get the electric blue one. i just purchased and we wouldn't want to be caught wearing the same thing!

in other jdubz newz, "in early 2008 jenni was appointed vice president of marketing for the well known [beg pardon?] ignitionnation.com social networking website." [emphasis added]. jicydak, and ypd, ignition nation is a car and motorcycle enthusiast social networking website which i have never heard anything about.

oh shut up, zooey deschanel.

here's a new she + him song. i'm so tired of this mess, but i thought joel might like it.

fever ray schools lady gaga

here's a picture of karin dreijer aka fever ray aka the kinfe lady looking way weirder than lady gaga ever has at some swedish music awards.

she's also seen in the audience of this clip of a super-cute performance featuring robyn.

if i had it to do over again, i'd definitely be swedish. brb googling staygold.

kylie's good luck streak of 2010 continues!!

did you guys get my email last night about some exciting new business opportunities?!?!?! if you would just send on over your money, "you would get a lot of unforseen harvests". isn't that just how i talk?

anyway, obvi something bad happened to my gmail. i did some quick research and learned that i got 'spoofed'!

When a server sends an email message, it specifies the sender, but this sender field can be forged. If there is a problem with delivery and someone forged your address on the message, then the message will be returned to you, even if you weren't the actual sender.

so, in addition to everyone i've ever gmailed getting a cute message regarding gold hours, autocars, and the like, i got 147 bounce-back emails from all the addresses that don't exist anymore (i'm looking at you, jmelton@utk.edu). i guess what i'm trying to say is, you're welcome.

also, guess what i got this week....

J-DOOTZ!!!!!! (that's jury duty). wink!

i'm actually a little excited about this. i've never been invited before! i can't wait to lock someone up and throw away the key.
