“… it struck me that in a country where the actual cooking in high-end restaurants is dominated by Latin Americans in general, and Mexicans and Mexican-Americans in particular, the “celebrity chef” doing the Mexican cooking against his French and Italian-American competitors was a very...
What i learned today
so, apparently once i marry my italian boyfriend i have automatically earned the right to work and live in europe as a permanent italian resident, no paper work, no bull shit. after 3 years, no matter where we decide to live, i have earned the right to apply for citizenship with out having to renounce my us citizenship. moral of the story: marry an italian if the chance ever arises.

Apparently there are men who refuse to carry umbrellas because they are not “masculine,” which is a trend I discovered today when I heard a guy in the office ask a few other women, “How do you feel about men who carry umbrellas?” This has incited me to create a line of umbrellas for men. They’ll either be called “umbrollas” or have “no homo” screenprinted on them.

My birthday is in less than a month. I’d like a new coffee table. Or to be put into a coma for the next four years so I can be unconscious until I’m 30.
here are my responses in no important order:
1) yes but which do you want more?
2) why don’t you tell us what you’re really thinking?
3)you are out of your mind, you want to sleep until you’re old and your...

What does it mean that I’m not in the least offended by Pitchfork’s Top 500 Tracks of the 2000s? Am I getting soft in my old age? Do they have their fingers on my pulse (with the exception of “My Girls” and “Blind” in the top twenty)? Have I just learned to stop worrying and love the Pitchfork?
(One thing, though: “Over & Over” should have made the top ten.)
I’m sorry...
b/c this song is a life time of stuck in my head.

You’re at a South Carolina football game, sitting in the sun at Williams-Brice Stadium. South Carolina scores, and as the fans go wild, you tweet to your buddies, “Touchdown, Gamecocks!”
Oops, there’s a flag on that play. All social networking at games is against SEC rules. Gamecocks can’t tweet.
Or can they? The Southeastern Conference told The Observer on Monday that...

If you’re the type of person who says something like, “I’m so anti-feminism (and, yes, I’m a girl),” you are either:
An idiot.
Confused.
I hope that you’re the latter - that you’re actually a woman who has been so affected by The Patriarchy’s (ew) protrayal of “feminism” as a maniacal, irrational philosophy that is based on being a bitter lady. Because if you’re a woman who is...

“The songstress-actress Zooey Deschanel is a gluten-intolerant vegan who doesn’t eat soy.”
Their challenge is simply to cook a meal she can eat. Seriously, WHAT do you eat, other than like straight up vegetables. No wonder she’s so skinny.
Damn, Art Smith is fucked. (via yumwatch)

The Big Dog does it again:
The announcement came after former U.S. President Bill Clinton met with top North Korean officials in Pyongyang to appeal for the release of Laura Ling and Euna Lee, who had been arrested while reporting from the border between North Korea and China.
Nice job Mr. President!

This is something i’ve been thinking about a lot recently. These days, with the niche-ification of art happening more and more, and with all kinds of new sub-sub genres popping up daily, how can you tell whether something is bad art or art that’s just not made for you?
i’m pretty sure art not made for you is bad art to you. even if it has it’s own amazingly cool genre name...
