Yes! And tartar sauce on the side (why, God, why?)!

Dear Krakoffs,

Thank you/I'm glad. :)

The Ile St.-Louis (Paris) is pretty much the Archetypal Quaint and Charming Parisian 'Hood, and I always love trekking out to Mont St.-Michel. (Versailles, maybe Giverny, etc.) Definitely drive, but keep an eye out for the signs that say, "Today, your car will be reclaimed by the tide at 15:30 [or such]!" :)

Got it. Well, I'll look forward to still seeing your work around these parts, then. :)

Hey, I hope this isn't too stalker-y, but I thought of your amazing ways with seams and fabric when I read this: [twitter.com] (It looks like he's received a few replies but is still looking for someone who could create something?) Anyway, sorry if this is too bizarre/intrusive a way of sending you this (which is…

I think the book about your childhood has tremendous potential. I'd read it!

1. Congrats!

Ask yourself if you really think they expect you to pay them back. The answer is: probably not. Anyone who says, "Your parents must be rich" is missing the point. The question is not what your family's income is; the question you're asking is how to ever repay them the sum total of those four years. Ultimately, you…

"html", I mean. And I still can't believe it works. Forty-one million dollars, and even an English major can hack it?!

You can read the NYT if you strip off everything in the url after "htm'" and then refresh the page w/ the new, shorter url (for each article). But yes, the CS Monitor is well-regarded.

Leave the gun, take the pirozhki.

I think you have to call people on it and make sure you get to finish your thought (even if you have to wrestle your ground back by saying something like, "Oh, I wasn't finished," and then just steamroll ahead). I also think it's become way more culturally permissible (wrongly) to interrupt people, so it's not…

Yes, a couple of months ago, when it was shown at Sundance: [bit.ly]

@SubvertAParadigm: Whatever one thinks of her refusal, her PR team should be fired for letting the coverage of it get so splashed around everywhere.

@Sed_Quis_Custodiet...: Jezebel did that last summer. I got a very cool mix CD from someone in Vancouver!

I've watched all the footage of the tsunami coming in over the fields in Sendai—and I have no words for this photo: [inothernews.tumblr.com]

@archaeo_girl: Have mercy. That is gorgeous.

@seatangle: Ooh, I buy cards on Etsy, especially letterpress ones. But (and this is just my two cents) I tend to prefer shops that focus on one thing—a card + vintage clothes store seems...hard to unify, in terms of design (unless you're selling a lifestyle brand or whatnot). Instead of "Hey! I'm an artist, and this…

@girl_ninja: I'm a Zipcar member—only one drive under my belt, though. I love it, but I will say: read all the freaking material and watch the videos on their site (in particular, how the debit card for gas works), so that you do not end up in a shouting match with two gas-station employees off the New Jersey Turnpike…
