My cousin entered a contest for Duck Dynasty. Her school has a day where you dress up as any celebrity you want and she choose Willie. Help a girl out with some votes?

I know a group a ppl who will be renting a house for Coachella. Ive been invited to go and stay at the house since they all know I’m not fond of the idea of actually going to Coachella event.

The house has a pool. I do love to lay by the pool and tan.

I’ll keep this mind when it comes around next year.

Still not going to buy a Coachella tickets.

I fucked up on this weeks work and am paying for it today.

I still haven’t been able to get control of my junk food intake.

I haven’t really said too much on here lately. I’m not really sure why. Eh, at least I’m going back to the gym.

Hey, guys! Hows things going???

pitchfork: thesufjanstevensmodel5000: Pitchfork’s comma use...

thesufjanstevensmodel5000:

Pitchfork’s comma use suggests they may have been bought out by The Guardian. Most American style guides recommend keeping punctuation inside quotes, while many blogs seem to follow the British approach, which is certainly more logical (it avoids making punctuation an accomplice), even though I find it aesthetically discomforting (and anti-American!). There is one incongruity: Ed Droste’s first quote conforms to common rules of attribution (he said, she said, etc.), keeping the comma inside the quote. The visual inconsistency irks me, in spite of its logic. I would also like to point out an unfortunate “missed opportunity” for a semi-colon (the most provocative of punctuation marks whose prevalence on grad school dissertations is now vindicated by its near absence on Twitter). Otherwise, the post reflects solid grammar (album titles in italics, song titles in “quotes,” and intelligent distinction between “their” and “they are.”) I should point out that TV shows should technically be in italics, but who’s keeping track? Apocalypse Wow. (Just one more thing: whatever happened to “smart quotes”?)

It is nice to know people out there are paying as much attention to our punctuation as we do! For the record, as a rule, we keep commas and periods outside of song and TV show titles, but inside of normal quotes (the final period in the story cited above is outside of the quotes because Ed Droste did not end his original tweet with a period and we wanted to quote him as accurately as possible). For those interested in reading even more about this sort of thing (millions, surely!), please check out this Slate piece about logical punctuation featuring insight from our own editor-in-chief, Mark Richardson.

Not entirely sure why this is making me giggle so much.

The Superhero Media Crossover Project
by Butcher Billy

Just how thin is the line that separate movies from comics? Modern from classic? Pixels from ink?

It’s easy to forget how much the comic stylings of the 60’s and 70’s have inspired modern films and just how timeless those two-dimensional, spandex-clad superheroes can be. This series replaces live action with the lines they were born from, interlacing cinematography with storyboard.

A true homage to Kirby, Ditko, Romita Sr. and all the other artists that kept inspiring and being a reference to the modern media. And all of us.

YAY! So I was able to talk to my Swede!! It took a few dropped calls but we did it. She has a new major crush on a guy (the last one was 6yrs ago so yes this was emergency Skype worthy).

I was able to fill her in on all my details and these are the gems that I was able to get from her:

- Oh, wow, Lena…you’ve really…wow…I’m not judging!!

- Well, have fun but please stay safe and don’t get pregnant.

- Wait until *YOU’RE* 27yo and suddenly you think living with a guy isn’t so bad…just wait.

- Move with me to London! Your husbands over there in London!! TRUST. ME.

- I feel like my new fondness with leather clothing has to do with something of my new personality change.

- Can you ship me Mexican meat and Mexican food?

I’m trying to sykpe with my Swedish Bunny but her damn work keeps calling her!

I need to talk to her about:

- Noel green card wife

- Teacher Mans rude comments and recent activities

- Pedro Boys comeback

- Republican with all sorts of topics

I wish I could just negotiate with the spiders in my bathroom

Thu, 23 May 2013 09:56:17 -0400

Me: Okay well I really hate killing you guys and I know that without you the world would be overrun with insects, so I love you and all, but I kind of really need to take a shower and I don't wanna drown you or have you panic and bite me.
Spider: No probs bro I'll just go hang around in that corner until you're done. By the way, your fan is getting really dirty, my cousin's been living in there and he's not so happy with the conditions.
Me: Oh that's okay I'll have it cleaned and just you can just tell him to move out until it's done.
Spider: Sure thing, man, I'll be over here until your shower's over.
Spider: Dat ass.

latimes: Are hipsters to blame for rising beer prices? Hipsters...

Glendale Tap in Glendale, Calif.

Los Angeles Brewing Company in downtown LA.

A regular patron reads the newspaper early in the evening at King Eddys, downtown's last skid row bar in Los Angeles.

A variety of beers are lined–up on the bar at the Stone Brewing World Bistro and Gardens.

latimes:

Are hipsters to blame for rising beer prices?

Hipsters get a bad rap from a lot of people, with a recent poll finding that just 16% of Americans having a positive opinion

But now there’s one more thing hipster-haters can add to their list of complaints (besides thinking Grizzly Bear’s boring or fedoras fell out of fashion for a reason): Rising beer prices.

Research Sciences President Chuck Ellis, who has been studying beer prices, has discovered that sub-premium beer prices have jumped 6.8% over the past seven months, with craft beer prices increasing at half that rate. And what does he think the cause is?

“I believe the single biggest driver in sub-premium beer price increases is indeed specifically PBR. It has become quite fashionable.”

As an aside, with all of that said: W hat the heck is the definition of a hipster anyway?
