she said we had a 2 paragraph proposal due on tuesday, but the assignment sheet said two pages. so i ask, paragraphs or pages? “OH yes, I messed up. Two pages. Thank you, Kat, for catching me.”
and then i get the glares of >30 art history majors. i actually said “….I’m really...

If you vote for me in the 2012 election, it is my promise that as your president, i will place a nation wide ban on Uggs, Crocs, and any other foot related atrocity. Smoking will be legal in any bar during the months of November through March. The penny and nickel are more expensive to make then theyre worth? I will get rid of the free loading bastards. Adult sized bouncy castles! Whiskey water...

Be careful. People like to be told what they already know. Remember that. They get uncomfortable when you tell them knew things. New things… well, new things arent what they expect.

comic shopping
when entering a comic book store as a naive 22 yr old female tourist, joss whedon fan, psuedo-nerd (or like me, all of the above), it is important to remember the following tips:
1) keep your wits about you. youre in their dojo now.
2) dont ask for help. appear as if you know what the fuck youre doing, even if the unfamiliar systems of organization make it take 3 times longer then you had...

starting the laziest of journals: the sentence a day journal. and we’re off to a good start:

'Earthscraper' concept hides a 1,000-foot...
did-you-kno:
Mexican architecture group BNKR Arquitectura have conceptualised an “earthscraper,” 65-story inverted skyscraper that hides a mini city underground.
The top ten floors — which, here, would be the “bottom” ten — is a museum and cultural center dedicated to the Aztecs. Below that you’ve got retail space, then apartments and finally, deep underground, businesses.
