your phone is going to work on the subway now

good news!? MTA is dragging itself by the bootstraps into the 90s and will finally provide cell service at six pilot subway stations on 14th street. via.

As promised, underground cell-phone service for AT&T and T-Mobile customers is coming, and will start at six subway stations on Tuesday. The A, C, E, F, L, M, 1, 2, and 3 platforms along 14th Street, along with the C and E station at 23 Street, will provide the testing ground for Transit Wireless, with all stations expected to be connected by 2016. No one will ever have to put their devices away again. [amNY]

as the 250,000 hit, Chad Lemon gets...

a date with 2Pz sometimes correspondent STARLA!!

whenever her schedule is clear, you can fly (yourself (on your own dime)) to new york city and buy her dinner and a movie. Of course Starla will choose the movie, and the dinner location. Starla has expensive taste, and many New York restaurants are cash only, so please keep this in mind.

Thank you Chad, and you're welcome.

RIP REM

the iconic indie band of the 80s and 90s is calling it. did you know that nightswimming was written about micheal stipe's boyfriend casey spooner?

whats your favorite REM song? leave it in the comments.

you win again, internet.

after weeks of dodging all the internet's attempts to convince me that lana del ray is the new hotness, i've surrendered. this song is beautiful. no one can deny it.


and check out this one, called "diet mountain dew".

i'll pay attention to you for a minute, LDR. let's see where this goes.

an open letter from troy davis

written on september 10, 2011:

As I look at my mail from across the globe, from places I have never ever dreamed I would know about and people speaking languages and expressing cultures and religions I could only hope to one day see first hand. I am humbled by the emotion that fills my heart with overwhelming, overflowing Joy. I can’t even explain the insurgence of emotion I feel when I try to express the strength I draw from you all, it compounds my faith and it shows me yet again that this is not a case about the death penalty, this is not a case about Troy Davis, this is a case about Justice and the Human Spirit to see Justice prevail.

I cannot answer all of your letters but I do read them all, I cannot see you all but I can imagine your faces, I cannot hear you speak but your letters take me to the far reaches of the world, I cannot touch you physically but I feel your warmth everyday I exist.

So Thank you and remember I am in a place where execution can only destroy your physical form but because of my faith in God, my family and all of you I have been spiritually free for some time and no matter what happens in the days, weeks to come, this Movement to end the death penalty, to seek true justice, to expose a system that fails to protect the innocent must be accelerated. There are so many more Troy Davis’. This fight to end the death penalty is not won or lost through me but through our strength to move forward and save every innocent person in captivity around the globe. We need to dismantle this Unjust system city by city, state by state and country by country.

a pretty good "catch up", in case you have no idea what this is about

a new oh land song

from that movie where a little boy runs around shooting people.

congrats, meg and vomas!!

2Pz friends meg and thomas got married a couple of weeks ago. a little story:

five years (almost to the day) before this photo was taken, which features the now ubiquitous "VOM" face, our little thomas was visiting his friends in new york city. we took him to the tennessee alumni bar to watch what i believe was the first game after we moved here. needless to say, we overdid it.

in a particularly raucous moment, thomas lost his composure, and, well. he vom'd into a plastic cup. just a little. but it happened. he calmly excused himself and went to the bathroom to properly dispose of the cup. he is now and will forever be known as "vomas". the end.

The enchanting village of Monsanto is located on the side of a mountain in Portugal and is home to an incredible sight. With houses squeezed between gigantic boulders and tiny streets carved through the rocks, the village's appearance hasn't changed in centuries. (via)
