I tried to share this discussion the fancy Kinja way, but it wouldn't let me write an intro, and I thought it needed a little context. It's a hilarious (to me) back-and-forth between spelling nazis and techies. Brother is pitted against brother. Kafka's Metamorphosis gets some love. I thought it was all just glorious.
Hello Groupthink! <3 I decided to take a stab at the Gawker/Netflix thing, and I made a few tweaks to the review and would love some fresh eyeballs. Because stale eyeballs sound disgusting.
Sometimes I'm paranoid that Netflix employees are looking at my viewing history and wondering what sort of person I must be. "Whoa! She watched nine episodes of Frasier in one sitting? And last Saturday night she just stayed home and watched Jiro Dreams of Sushi twice in a row."
Hello comrades! Happy Sunday! I decided to throw my hat into the ring for the Netflix thing. It sounded like fun, so why not, eh? If you could take a peek and let me know what you think, I'd be very much obliged! :)
Watching a John Lennon documentary without his music is like reading a Dr. Seuss book without the pictures: only worthwhile if you're really high. It's like a peanut butter and jelly sandwich without the bread: all over the place. It's like an analogy used to open a movie review: forced.
Hamilton "Trollin'" Nolan's latest edition of Gawker NOVA made me laugh harder than I have all day. I was so happy when this feature came back - he has a knack for uncovering interesting stories, and the bizarre, subversive intros are poetic, in a "lol" sort of way. They're so good! They're so funny! No one could…
The Minas Gerais State Association of Prostitutes worked with government-run bank Caixa on an agreement that would recognize sex workers as small business owners, providing them with the means to accept debit and credit card payments and making them eligible for previously unavailable social insurance programs (the…
You had one. Whether it was LiveJournal or Xanga or a carefully-constructed Angelfire page, we all had one. Maybe you were smart and deleted yours, but I was not smart and I just re-discovered the LJ that I started in high school and kept up through my second year at uni. I'm so embarrassed. I was so obnoxious! I…
This was hard for me to write. My heart was soaring last night as the cheers in that room began to swell from the sea of orange. Wendy Davis inspired me. I was invigorated and enlightened to the fact that there are politicians willing to barter my body for votes. I am loathe to tint this victory with any negativity,…
In this week's edition of News That Anthropomorphizes Plants and Makes Me Feel Like a Murderer Every Time I Eat a Salad (lookin' at you, Switzerland), research has shown that produce responds to light-dark cycles for up to a week after harvest.
I spent some time with a friend and her boyfriend last night, and he said something that struck me as odd. I've been mulling it over since, and I haven't really been able to find any satisfying conclusions.
In other news, I am quite proud to have been promoted to KINJATEER today!
So, it happened. Adidas shower slip-ons are fashionable now. Keep an eye out for other fun communal-dorm-bathroom inspired trends. Complete the look with a shower caddy as a purse, Soffe athletic shorts, and toothpaste stains on your shirt/the corners of your mouth/everything you own.
Have you been wanting to take a Spin Class, but were deterred by the fact that the classes are not held underwater? Thankfully, there’s a new fitness trend (it’s European, which means it’s from Europe) in town that caters specifically to the “I can only absorb oxygen via a secret set of gills hidden underneath my…
