The Best Complaints From My New Favorite Tumblr,...
The kitchenette fridge froze my juice. Now how will we have mixed drinks?
If one of the Five College libraries has a DVD, your college won’t order it. This would be fine, except for some reason Mount Holyoke won’t share its “leisure film” collection. Can we have our three copies of Clueless back then?*
Whoever took the Complete Daria on DVD home for break— not cool.
My new year’s is when I...

1) I am maybe the only straight person who took Issues in Queer Studies, which makes every other straight person at Smith a total idiot, because that class was awesome. It had pretty much no work and Rachel and I spent the...
“A fatwah is like the Declaration of Independence. Oh, I’m so glad the Daily Jolt...”

So, a few things:
HOW DID I NOT KNOW ABOUT THE SMITH PROFESSOR QUOTES TUMBLR UNTIL TODAY????
Marc Lendler was my thesis advisor and all-time favorite professor.
The Daily Jolt doesn’t exist anymore?????????
Deadline Hollywood: Dreama Walker To Star in ABC's... →
Hey! Here is something I find offensive:
Dreama Walker, who is recurring on the CBS drama The Good Wife, is set to star in ABC’s single-camera comedy pilot Don’t Trust the Bitch in Apt. 23, which is directed by Jason Winer. The 20th TV-produced project, written by Nahnatchka Khan, centers on June (Walker), an earnest, honest, optimistic girl from the heartland who, due to...
In a reply to my last post about “Shake Ya Tailfeather”, Anthony pointed out that “is that your ass or your momma have reindeer?” remains a baffling lyric. But here’s the thing: it’s only one of the bizarre parts of that song. To wit:
Is that your ass or your momma have reindeer?
I like the cocky bowlegged ones
They be like “he’s the man”...

This is a valid point! Also, everyone knows “No Matter What You Are” right?

Let Me Do Your Publicity!
Reposted from the IRC:
Let me do the publicity for your show, web series, or special comedy event! I spent three years as a professional blogger, so I know what bloggers and journalists want in a press release. I handled the publicity for my own series Vag Magazine, which was written up in dozens of press outlets, including Salon, Jezebel, the New York Observer, and the Huffington Post. For a...

Mike Scollins.: What’s Up With You Guys and Glee?
mikescollins:
I don’t love Glee. The writing bugs me as characters’ motivations change on a dime depending on what song they want to sing that week. But what I don’t get is how many of you hate Glee. It’s not just a show you don’t watch but one that you openly condemn with a passion usually reserved for...
HELP US GET CHRIS KIRKPATRICK TO NEW YORK!
coolsongz4teengirlz:
Hey there faithful CS4TG followers.
We’re Dan Chamberlain and Jason Flowers, and we run this Tumblr. We’re both comedians in New York City, and are currently cobbling together the first installment of CS4TG: Cool Show 4 Teen Girlz- and we need your help.
We would very, very much like Chris Kirkpatrick to come to New York city to be our first guest for the show.
Why Chris...

Suggested Itinerary for Day Four of Being Sick
9am: Wake up.
9:30am: Get out of bed.
10am: Motivate yourself to make some cinnamon toast. Catch up on the last two weeks of Parenthood. Cry.
12pm: Go back down for a nap. Creepily whisper (the only vocal affect you can manage) “maybe some toast when I wake up.”

So, if my throat hurts when I swallow, but it doesn’t feel like KNIVES, I have a fever, but it’s just around 100 and I feel slightly nauseated when I lie down, that’s not strep right? That’s a bug, right? I shouldn’t use the Z-Pack I’ve been hoarding since I had health insurance, right?
Salon: Why I Can't Stop Reading Mormon Housewife... →
I don’t know, maybe it’s just because I have a fever, but pretty much all I’ve been interested in doing today is reading Mormon hipster housewife blogs. All these ladies have immaculately decorated houses and the perfect red lipstick and really cute outfits and good looking husbands and precious fat babies and, basically, make Mormonism look like an ad for Anthropologie.

Do you own a bear costume? Can I borrow it?
I’m looking for a bear costume for Stone Cold Fox’s 1/24 show. In a pinch, I’d consider a lion costume instead. Email me if you have one!

A Vienna shrink (Peter Sellers) wants women, but a Paris editor (Peter O’Toole) has them.
I started a pretty important new Tumblr about one of my favorite things in this world, the movie descriptions on Time Warner Cable.

Well, this blog of Kanye lyrics rewritten to be about food is the best thing of anything, even if Anthony did come up with a better joke title last night (“No one ham should have all that power.”). The above is the chorus of “Monster.”...

Apparently, we’re getting 8-12 inches of snow tonight? I didn’t know this until now, so maybe you don’t either.

UCB WW
Several UCB folks have emailed me about doing Weight Watchers. Would people be interested in maybe doing some sort of email group for the purposes of accountability/venting/discussing how many points there are in the tater tots at McManus? Email me if you’re into it.
Bridget and the Squares On Tour →
Do you live in New York, Philly, Richmond, Raleigh, Atlanta, Chapel Hill, Greensboro, Baltimore, or Boston? If so, you should go see my amazingly talented friend Laura and her band perform. Guys, I hate going to see live music (I am 100 years old) and I love seeing Bridget and the Squares. The songs are beautiful, they’re great performers, and Laura wears really awesome dresses. GO SEE...
