so this is happening.

A friend of mine was wearing this last week. I haven’t liked anything so much in a long time. It says:
“It’s 100 degrees in New York and 73 in Los Angeles. It’s 30 degrees in New York and it’s still 73 in Los Angeles. There are 8 million interesting people in New York, and 73 in Los Angeles.”

L.Morells FTW. Glad to see you’re still on Team NYC despite your current address.

Do New Yorkers somehow feel threatened by Los Angeles? I’ve always found that really weird. I don’t know many Angelinos that talk about how New York sucks, but I know plenty of New Yorkers (most who have NEVER ventured west) that are very quick to pass judgement on Los Angeles (as if the pages of US Weekly are a fair representation of what it’s like to live here).
It’s as if they forget that New York is full of douchey bankers and mindless office drones. It’s not a community of 8 million artists.
And also, the weather in New York does suck! Stop being such babies about it!

Rebuttal! I think, at least for me, my admittedly irrational ill-will towards LA stems purely from the fact that many important and fun people in my life have moved there (and rightfully so, don’t get me wrong). It’s based in my own (again admittedly) selfish desire to have everyone I love in the same place.
Clearly both cities have their faults, and I personally have nothing against LA itself. It would be foolish to discount its obvious draw. Maybe New Yorkers just have a more confrontational allegiance to/pride in their city than ‘Angelinos’? Just like us New Jerseyians are far more passionate and quick to defend than people from other states.

Coldplay's Chris Martin: Extraterrestrial

dangurewitch:

Listening to Chris Martin sing about “when [he] ruled the world” in Coldplay’s new single Viva La Vida, I was reminded of the only scientific hypothesis I have ever formed: that upon closer inspection, Mr. Martin’s lyrics conclusively prove he is an alien. I published this theory months ago in the form of the article below, but it was mostly ignored by the scientific community. I hope the Tumblr crowd takes my discovery more seriously.

Can you name the songs these Coldplay lyrics are from?

(A) You and me are drifting into outer space

(B) All of the stars and the outer space

(C) Look at earth from outer space
Everyone must find a place

(D) The future’s for discovering
The space in which we’re traveling

(E) Look up, I look up at night,
Planets are moving at the speed of light

(F) Hundreds of years in the future
It could be computers
Looking for life on earth

(G) You can climb a ladder up to the sun

(H) Come on, oh my star is fading

(I) Look at the stars,
Look how they shine for you

(J) Can anybody fly this thing?

(K) I am a f*cking alien
Why don’t you people understand?
I am an alien from the Nebulus subsector of the
Andromeda Galaxy
I’m spelling it out for you as clearly as I can

(L) Smorgax weeblezod!
Veeble quoznar florgenblox!

Answers:

(A) X&Y (B) White Shadows (C) Politik
(D) Square One (E) Speed of Sound
(F) Twisted Logic (G) Talk (H) Amsterdam
(I) Yellow (J) High Speed
(K) Seriously Guys I Came Here Under Orders From Supreme Commander Gorgax Flerm To Drink The Bone Marrow of All Humans
(L) Zarquon Quorblezar (“I Tried To Warn You”)

God I love this article. If you’re not following CHTV super-writer Dan Gurewitch’s tumblr yet, consider this your impetus to start.

Thank God. After Clinton concedes we can finally stop being a party divided and rally behind one candidate. And what a candidate he is.

The top photo was taken circa 1958 of my grandfather when he worked as a graphic design in NYC. The bottom photo is of me taken 50 years later, also working as a graphic designer in NYC.

Thanks to Justin Ouellette for taking this photo for me. He is an amazing photographer

I love this and I’m so glad DT did it.

After years of people recommending it to me, I finally committed to reading Live From New York, the incredible SNL oral history. I have about 50 pages to go, and I love it.

I just stumbled upon a new favorite quote from Amy Poehler, who observes (regarding being sexy AND funny) that “Vanity is the Death of Comedy. I’d much rather have people laugh than go, ‘Whoo!’ “

This hit home, as users on our site can be quick to judge (especially girls) from their semi-anonymous platforms. Usually our users are super nice to me, for which I am sincerely flattered and grateful, but a recent notable exception is this video, where one sensitive user notes that I look like ‘a Russian man.’ I really enjoyed the comedy I was able to add to this video until comments like that started rolling in, and then I found myself suddenly self-conscious. But I think if I had overthought my vanity that day (I was exhausted and the humidity had destroyed my hair), I wouldn’t have been very funny at all. It’s another interesting element of this whole ‘being a girl in comedy’ thing. You know, wanting to be funny versus wanting to be pretty. Not to say they’re exclusive of each other. I just think you have to be very self-assured to have the outlook Amy Poehler does.

Confession: I am obsessed with ABC Family’s Greek. I’m putting this out there in the hopes that someone I know is also secretly obsessed, and we now can discuss (why do I feel like its going to be Caitlin Oppermann for some reason?). The writing is clever and charming, the characters likable and realisticaly flawed and the plotlines accurate and nostalgia-inducing for people who’ve been there (coming from someone who was surprised to find herself deeply entrenched in the Greek system during college). Its certainly not for everyone, and exudes a fair to large amount of cheese, but I just love it.

BTW, I was excited to see the Phantom flex some of his vocal might when he harmonized with the yoga class. The Phantom always thought he had great pitch.

The people in this class thought we were insane.

On a positive note we have a lot of beer and wheelchair. I think we are in for a great night.

One of the many pictures of Amanda that I wish I had of myself. I especially like the untied shoe. What an angel.
