IT'S FRIDAY, but i have saturday school tomorrow...

UT needs one of these.

Medellin, Colombia was once known as one of the world's most violent cities. It was the center of a major drug cartel, which actually took its name from the city. Now Medellin is enjoying the spotlight for a new socially-conscious public transportation system.

To understand this story you need to know that Medellin is in a valley surrounded by incredibly beautiful green mountains, which have also become the location of many neighborhoods on the steep mountainsides.

And yesterday, Medellin's mayor inaugurated a giant outdoor escalator. It was built for residents of one of the city's poorest districts, with the aim of better integrating them into the city and the broader economy.

The slum is located on one of those hillsides, and its residents have long had to climb hundreds of steps - the equivalent of a 28-story building - to get home from work. Now they can stand and be transported on their new 1,200-foot moving walkway that turns a 35-minute haul into a six-minute commute. The project cost about $7 million. (via)

"closer" to a new lauryn hill album.

"We're getting closer," she said with a chuckle. "We're getting closer. That's all I can say."


quit jerking me around and just do it. or dont do it. but just do it.

an explanation.

hay y'all, just wanted to tell you that i texted my friend, lo, to ask her what was up with that hills ending and she told me to check her blog in a few minutes, and she would write it out there for me. so i did, and here it is:

TWIST! Tuesday night, viewers said in disappointed shock, "OMG was ‘The Hills' really fake all this time?" I mean, that's what you guys have been saying forever, right? Ha ha. Don't worry. It wasn't fake. I have never shot any ‘Hills' scenes on a stage of any kind.


Rest assured, we were simply poking fun in the way that our viewers have done since the show began to air. Our show's undeniable production value sometimes made the validity of it all questionable, but in truth (and this really is the truth), the relationships with those on the show are real.


Lauren, Kristin, and I have known each other since we were all under 5ft tall. No conspiracy there. As for the others-we met them all when moving to L.A. Sure, some relationships were pushed by producers, but once pushed, blossomed into real life friendship (or hatred, take your pick).


So, lovely reader and watcher of ‘The Hills'-it was just a big joke's on you, without it really, truly being one. Just messin' with you guys a little. In the end, we're all in the same boat, right?

SPOILER ALERT RETROACTIVE!!

RIP the hills + captain phil

i'm a day behind, BUT... last night, i watched two things:

first, i watched the hills finale, which was a hot mess. i don't believe for one second that chicken tetrazzini even stepped foot on a plane to europe. i also don't believe for one second that the show was in any way fake. you can't fool me, brody jenner! I KNOW IT WAS ALL REAL! you guys are my friends! you wouldn't lie to me. i miss you already.

then, i watched the deadliest catch. and speaking of real, one of the main characters, captain phil harris, died of complications from a stroke. this was the conclusion of a four episode build-up, and i'm relieved that we finally made it. jicydak, phil asked the crew to keep the cameras rolling, and i think discovery channel kept it pretty classy in their depiction of his death. oof, i just cried and cried.

the internet is a-buzz with discussions of reality tv's first real death. most agree that the show is to be commended for its discretion, authenticity and sensivity in handling the matter. the episode was the highest rated for the d-est c, and third highest of any discovery program, with about 8.5 million viewers,

on a side note, captain phil's death was watched by 5.5 more millions than the hills finale, which aired during the d-est c's after show, which drew 5.6 million, which was still 2.6 more millions than the hills finale.

something has to replace the hills... why not this

no one else can feel it for you.

one ep left y'all. don't forget to watch, tomorrow night! word on the street is LC and whitney are gonna show up. but maybe just the after show.

hey lauryn hill, why did you quit music?

"There were a number of different reasons," she said. "But partly, the support system that I needed was not necessarily in place ... As musicians and artists, it's important we have an environment — and I guess when I say environment, I really mean the [music] industry, that really nurtures these gifts. Oftentimes, the machine can overlook the need to take care of the people who produce the sounds that have a lot to do with the health and well-being of society, or at least some aspect of society ... Oftentimes, I think people are forced to make decisions prematurely. And then that sound radiates." via.

oh i forgot to tell you...

To Audrina: Where are you?
From Audrina: I'm sitting on the deserted roof of a hotel surrounded by fairy lights. It's a completely natural setting. Where are you?
To Audrina: I'm on my way over.
From Audrina: Why? What do you have to say?
To Audrina: I don't know what to feel or say.
To Audrina: There is nothing better than Audrina Patridge.
From Audrina: OK, I'll see you soon. But if you smell like Kristin, I'm leaving.
To Audrina: Nah, baby, it's not like that. If I wanted a girlfriend, I would totally love you.
