Do not provoke the homeless
Here’s a funny ad for 92 Y Tribeca about advice for tourists from New Yorkers. It’s got David Cross, Janeane Garofalo, Dave Hill, and Kumail!
That’s why
I love the Golden Globes soooo much more than the Oscars, and if you want to know why, it’s because the Golden Globes makes the attendees laugh and forget that they’re on camera.

My Summer of NASCAR
I was in the summer between my freshman and sophomore years of high school, having just discovered Doc Martens and the band Bauhaus (a dangerous combo), and I planned on spending my entire summer reveling in those two discoveries. My parents, however, had other ideas. They thought that I spent too much time indoors, and were probably quite tired of my long-suffering sighs and declarations that people were poseurs, so they decided I should go on a little trip with my cousin Kate. Kate was spending that summer with her father, and Kate’s father was the head minister of NASCAR. During race season, he traveled from racetrack to racetrack to be with the drivers, and therefore, so would I. If you could find an exact polar opposite to being goth, it would be this trip.
Diet Secrets Revealed!
Thanks to Shannon, still hands down the coolest boss I’ve ever had (and I’ve had some cool bosses).
Oh No You Didn’t. Oh Yes I Did.
Late last night, I saw a commercial for Dominos Pizza that introduced their new slogan “Oh Yes We Did”. And what they did was listen to people telling them that their pizza tastes terrible, and improving it.

In this documentary about it, they talk about all the complaints they’ve heard, and how much it stings, and then they talk about how they’re trying to get better. Like, the head chef of Dominos is talking about how his feelings were hurt. FIt’s weirdly sad, and makes me weirdly proud of Dominos. I’ve never liked their pizza, but good on them for acknowledging what we’ve all thought about them for years.
(I’m a blogger- can I get one of your new pizzas for free now Dominos?)
Guess who forgot the guy who started Dominos, Tom Monaghan, is a total jerk? Me! Thanks Vivek.
Kay Leclaire, I love you
Please watch this video about a kitten rescued by a world-renowned 60 year old mountain climber who just happened to be walking by. Please, for me?
Thanks Neatorama!
Dating hints from a man.
Lemondrop has a guy-written post about the top girl behaviors that annoy guys on dates, and while I usually get annoyed at being told what qualities my gender possesses that are “annoying”, because god forbid we annoy men, this was actually a good list. So I present to you my favorite entries from “Things Women Do on Dates That Suck That I Wish They Wouldn’t Do Anymore”. Jump it!
I wish a very personal earthquake would pin you under your own stupidity.
Stupid Taylor Momsen, who seems to be known mainly for her horrible dye job and bad eye makeup, was asked if she was going to be donating money to help the earthquake victims in Haiti. Her response?
Um, right now I’m trying to just finish my record and getting through the last season of Gossip Girl for right now. So not so much thinking about that. But it’s awesome that everyone is ya know working towards a good cause.
Thanks princess!
