Someone get this out of the grey! We need stories!

Okay, I'm going to continue to do my pathetic guy obsessing here, because if I continue to do with my family and friends they're going to smack me.

hey Burt, I left you a present on GT, because you hadn't seen it yet. I added a gif. You'll know which one. Enjoy!

Wooo! After a somewhat very shitty start to the month, things are a little brighter - I have my third interview with a company I'm DYING to work for* coming up this Wednesday, a fiercely fierce outfit to wear to said interview, and I might get to see THE Guy. Very tentative plans with him, but after two weeks of radio…

Guys. I'm writing a paper for my grad class and I have no idea how I'm going to finish. I'm essentially taking an argument from an article that I critiqued for my oral presentation, which compared (futilely) the works of Machiavelli and La Rochefoucauld (17th century moralist), and rearguing that if we accept that…

Are any of you doing a gift exchange at work and have no idea what to buy for the person you got? ME.

How does Lorde get noms for everything BUT Best New Artist? Grammys, you make no sense!

Burt I am there with you, so call new music, I just want Pink to win it all.

F yea, Lorde!

Thank you so much. I think the most hellacious thing is just encountering each new development and not knowing if things are going the way they're supposed to go. It's not all so bad individually.

I think bonobos already own the slutty monkeys trademark...

That picture just screams "I'm Kevin Spacey and i ain't go no time for Zack Braff"

I would think about becoming a Christian again if it meant getting to wear a little guillotine charm around my neck.

And if Jesus were beheaded with an axe, imagine how popular the Gene Simmons bass would be with Christian Contemporary musicians.

Private school. Not public.

This is the biggest reason why in Mormon churches and temples there is no cross, or any other overt symbolism like that. Lots of paintings of Jesus though. The goal is explicitly so attention can be drawn to the resurrected Christ, and not the crucified Christ.

You guys are a bunch of smarty-pants and probably already know this, but I believe that the word excruciating comes from 'ex crucios' - from the cross, or I crucify. Crucifixion was so awful that they came up with a word to describe it.
