good news ya'll. britney is releasing her seventh studio album this summer, it should be out in June. collaborators are rumored to include david guetta, and a bunch of other people. i just think its nice that we dont have to call this one a comeback, since she came back and then managed not to have a breakdown or hair massacre in between. fingers crossed.

have you just stopped caring?
this whole concept makes me question the word "comfort", and what it really means. like, though soft and stretchy cotton pants might feel good, could i really say i would be comfortable wearing that outside?
is this an effective anti-smoking ad?
there seems to be some controversy in france about this series of anti-smoking ads. i wonder why?
hey, look over there... is that thomas wilhelm lighting up?
my so called life, 15 years later
temple grandin and jordan catalano are photographed together at the elle fashion awards in london. apparently this is the first picture they have been in together since my so called life, 15 years ago. angela turned beautiful and poised the way we all knew she would, and it seems jordan is still battling his demons... cry for help.source, via
famous old people in passport photos
There are lots of famous faces to be seen —F. Scott and Zelda Fitzgerald (he is smirking, she looks like a silent-film siren); a ghostly engraving that shows Walt Disney (age 17 but looking closer to 14) on his way to work for the Red Cross in Europe; and the Marx brothers—Harpo leans forward, leering, and Groucho smiles, without his greasepaint moustache. Other albums are worth a look too, as they feature the athletes, illusionists, poets, actors and musicians of the Harlem Renaissance—all tired of waiting in line and ready to go back to doing whatever made them famous.

The layoffs are to be announced on Tuesday, along with cuts to the authority’s administrative and managerial staff, according to the people, who spoke on the condition of anonymity because the revised plan had not been formally unveiled. (via)
i just want to know, if they lay off all the station agents, to whom am i to turn when i swipe my metrocard, slam my pelvis into a locked turnstyle, am asked by the computer to swipe my card again, and then told i "just used" my swipe, like what happened to me yesterday.
if it wasn't for the station agent who opened the gate and let me in, i would've been waiting there for 19 minutes. this is not the answer, MTA.
tanya, this is kind of embearassing.
It is reading season at the Tufts University admissions office, time to plow through thousands of essays and transcripts and recommendations — and this year, for the first time, short YouTube videos that students could post to supplement their application.
About 1,000 of the 15,000 applicants submitted videos. Some have gotten thousands of hits on YouTube.
Tufts, which, like the University of Chicago, is known for its quirky applications, invited the YouTube videos. Along with the required essays, Tufts has for years offered applicants an array of optional essays — “Are we alone?” is one of this year’s topics — or a chance to “create something” out of a sheet of paper. So it was not too far a stretch, this year, to add the option of posting a one-minute video that “says something about you.”
Lee Coffin, the dean of undergraduate admissions, said the idea came to him last spring as he watched a YouTube video someone had sent him. “I thought, ‘If this kid applied to Tufts, I’d admit him in a minute, without anything else,’ ” Mr. Coffin said. (via)
