I laughed so hard at Snoop, but he's still not creepy enough to be one of those white guys.

I saw all of these things on my last trip to the American west. The amount of lectures I had to deliver on not petting the bison, which are responsible for more national park attacks than any other animal. And the thing that I really couldn't get my head around is that people will walk into the Grand Canyon with no…

But I still can't wrap my head around this preview. Because instead of getting rid of all the pagan stuff, the decorations and materialism, Cameron's solution seems to be to convince the Jesus-y guy that all of that stuff is part of Christmas and he should embrace it? I'm really confused by this logic.

I like the pagan carols that are about eating, drinking and fucking under a tree. They speak to me.

Damn it. I need a merman christmas tree topper.

He seems to be under the impression that Christy Christmas came first and then the pagans "hijacked" it? So I guess fundamentalists aren't really into history either. But maybe that's not a surprise considering they think the world is only like 800 years old.

Yeah, I guess the weird tabloid coverage does help their careers. Being on magazine covers every week of her life must prove to movie studios that they are still marketable.

The pictures are one thing, but the the story lines that go along with them seem to be taking it too far. Like, could I take a photo of Brad Pitt and cut out his head and paste it into a comic book and then sell it as The Adventures of Brad Pitt in Space? Seems like I would have to pay some kind of licensing fee for…

Will Jolie or Aniston ever be due royalties for their likenesses being used in these photo-comic-book-novel-soap-opera-thingies for years at a time?

Ok, but if anyone is looking for a token white friend, I am available.

I don't want to take sides in these celebrity spats. Let's just hate them all.

I sometimes toy with the idea of doing an MFA for the time to do nothing but write, the networking connections, the chance to bond with other writers, etc, but the job aspect of it is what keeps me from attempting it in real life. Although teaching creative writing does sound like legit career path to me.

Exactly. It's a genre with a long history. It will be interesting to see if any of the characters from Girls ends up writing one of these breakup-with-New York stories. (I don't actually watch the show, but do follow the updates on Jezebel, so keep me posted.)

Just curious here, did you do an MFA? And if so, did you get a job out of it when you finished?

I hadn't heard of Ann Arbor or Royal Oak. I need to apply for a research grant so I can tag hipsters there and see where they migrate.

I thought a period in the watering holes of either San Francisco or L.A. was obligatory*, but sometimes storms blow entire herds off course and they end up in Seattle or Portland. Austin, Madison and Nashville are new areas that hipsters are moving into now that rising population numbers have pushed them out of their…

How will this affect hipster migration patterns? Will fewer midwestern 20-somethings be heading to Brooklyn? Will they hit Iowa first? Or will Iowa be a stop-over after New York, before the herd heads for California as these populations have done since the dawn of time?

Everything in that video has come back into fashion.

Gilly Hicks is going out of business.

Hamster in the rasta hat is so wack. Just sayin'.
