Oh, Toothpaste for Dinner.
This works for Alcohol Whale too, which is what I’ve decided Ambien Walrus’s counterpart is.
HAS ANYONE SEEN HIM?
Andrew Koenig (AK-47, the video guy on “Never Not Funny,” and “Boner” from “Growing Pains”) has been missing for a week, last seen 2/14 in Vancouver. Didn’t make his flight back to the US on 2/16. The Vancouver Police are involved, and lots of people are looking. Could you reblog this and help get the word out? And say some prayers or think some positive thoughts?
UPDATE: It’s not that I don’t appreciate the “like”s, but PLEASE DO REBLOG THIS. You might have followers in Vancouver, and though the presence of the word “Boner” may make this look like a joke, I assure you it isn’t. Thanks!
I was in an improv group with Andrew for a while and he’s a really decent, caring guy. So if you’re in Vancouver, readers, keep an eye out.
Mom and I just had an impromptu dance party to Journey. It consisted of Mom, in the kitchen, making me a chicken sandwich while sashaying back and forth - and of me, at my computer, punching the air. Both of us silent, neither of us commenting on it afterward.
If I can convey one overarching theme to my posts on Tumblr and Twitter about my mother, it is that I kind of wish she were my age so that we could be best friends and hang out all the time.
Facebook is trying to inspire me by telling me that NOW is, in itself, an event. So is the next NOW I experience. And it wants me to MAKE something happen tonight at 7pm, not just wait for an event to come to me. And Mondays may very well be the new Saturday, if I have the presence of mind to make it so. Thank you, Facebook. You’re right. Life is an event. LIFE ITSELF IS AN EVENT.

I don’t know about you guys, but if I could directly link my sexual desires to facts I find sexy, I would totally bone this guy.

Um, was JUST talking about Dru Hill.
(This is great, but in no way is R&B ridiculous.)

“It’s not just about that, not just about the ways women devalue their own work, or fail to ask for what they deserve. It’s also about feminist media, and new media, and how those two interconnect. I’ve written a lot, on [Tiger Beatdown], about how crucially important the Internet has been for feminist media – how, in the absence of other feminist media markets, and in a climate where feminist-backlash pieces are often more marketable and publishable (hi, Roiphe!) than pieces with feminist content, we have taken to these here Intertubes to do the writing that matters most to us. But it’s kind of sick, actually, how that is starving us out: everybody knows that Internet publishing pays substantially less than print media publishing, even when it does pay. I’ve done both, and I’ve seen the difference in the paychecks: believe me, it is so substantial that it would make you laugh, if it didn’t make you cry first. But even beyond that, I’ve checked in with or asked around about some of the few remaining print outlets that are specifically for feminist voices, and guess what? A lot of them, maybe most of them, are not doing so well. They’re understaffed, underfinanced, running on fumes, trying to perform this immensely valuable service for as little as they possibly can, just so that they can keep doing it. Because they care; even if they could probably be making more money elsewhere for doing the same kind of work with the “feminism” taken out of it, they’re dedicated to doing the work that matters most to them, which is feminist media. Which doesn’t, not often or not really, allow them to take care of themselves or the people with whom they work.” — The Tiger Beatdown Pledge Drive is officially open. Even if you, like me, are so broke that you cannot afford to pay anyone for anything right now, I said a lot of stuff that was really important to me in this piece, and I would like you to read it.

Hey, Lindsay, remember when you were five years old and wanted nothing more than to be Crystal Gayle? Crystal Gayle with her crazy mane of hair that seemed to you the epitome of being pretty? Well, you’re not five anymore. You’re not Crystal Gayle, okay?
What I’m trying to say is you need a haircut. Your hair is long, but it looks sad. Cut your hair.
Sincerely,
Self
