the man that’s always in the union square subway station always keeps my commute interesting. every day he wears this gray sweatshirt with flames on it covered in different sayings. earlier this week it was “REPENT OR PERISH” and today it was something about HELLFIRE or BRIMSTONE or something. i only find it amusing because he clearly had a big batch of sweatshirts made with the...

hawhawhahwh. wonkette commenters are funny. especially the comments about “racha el-ray” and her “keffiyaccino.” also i don’t think rachael ray is actually wearing a keffiyeh, that just looks like an ugly frilly scarf. the pattern is wrong.

i have only read 62 of the 1001 books one must read before they die. i started and abandoned 7. if only i could count movie adaptations.

i heard that common, broken social scene, and third eye blind are coming for dillo day at northwestern this year. i would probably kill to see third eye blind. seriously. and you know what’s really crazy? the amount of people that agree with me.
