Honestly, all you need is someone tall enough to dance with.  A sense of humor and a good prose style is probably more important to any girl worth having (in my opinion)

well, being on the receiving end of creepy, unsolicited emails on Facebook, don't lead with a "hey, we appear to be of the same nationality and therefore should bang" line.

my helpful hint (from days long past): if a guy lists American Psycho as one of his favorite books, he probably hates women a little…and most likely hates them a lot

I'm buying some Segura Viudas cava for my wedding because I think it's cheerfully morbid to toast with that at a wedding.

I'm a fan of tea smoking things.

I am so mad that Pliny the Elder is on hiatus.  I'm cutting down my beer intake and I want my empty calories to be special.

I'm still dreaming about the tri-tip we made this weekend.  Best use of $2 Chuck EVER.  It's marinated in wine, garlic, rosemary,olive oil, and massive amounts of black pepper and we served with a reduced sugar cherry-chipotle bbq sauce.

Cancer!  The most romantic disease (after we wiped out TB).

I watched it.  SPOILERS:  Midway through, it becomes about Nazis. It's beautiful to look at, but Sean Penn as Robert Smith is about as entertaining as you think it's going to be.

He also milked the joke of being near-celibate and perennially single for a very, very, very long time.

Wizard of Oz has hot topic cross promotional appeal (like Alice in Wonderland).  Respect the power of teenage girls wearing stupid outfits!

hah.  That article filmed me with an absurd amount of glee.  Especially because mayoral candidate/city councilman Eric Garcetti lives up the street and the blogger thought taking to the internets was better than going to the likely future mayor of LA.

Still mad that he didn't have the stones to have Jay embrace his gay. I loved Kevin Smith in high school, read the comics even and enjoyed what Dogma was trying to do.  To have Jay end up with Shannon Elizabeth seemed like such a cop out.

(golf clap): that's like every notes meeting I've ever sat in on.

based on various weird internet usage studies, Utah is the porn watching capital of the internet.  Mormons are doing a fine job corrupting themselves.

(pictures a little rhombus with wheels, looking like it's speeding away).   So much forward momentum!

I remember seeing them in concert with Architecture in Helsinki when their first album came out.  It was the birthday of one of the AIH guys and Clap Your Hands came out dressed as hot dogs and wookies to dance along to a couple of songs.

This.  100% this.

Facts about the people who pay for documentaries: 1/3 of them want AS MANY SENSATIONAL FACTS and famous people as you can cram in there, another 1/3 are rich people with an agenda, some will give you 250K and demand a movie as visually interesting as, say, Training Day or a Soderbergh experiment (while also demanding…

Most sandals for men are unattractive and poorly designed.  Most men's feet are gnarly.  I tolerate them (barely) on my mister because he likes to wear them and we live by the beach, but my 7 year old cousin made fun of him for wearing them to a family event.  If a 7 year old is giving you shit for lack of effort,…
