LOOOOST
Here are my ideas for a LOST themed food party: -Peanut butter cupcakes (for the jar of PB that Charlie gave Claire) -Smoke Monster smoked tofu (will possibly make you see or hear scary things) -Pink fish cake or loaf (made with one of these cooking molds, tastier than the bear food Jack & Kate ate in their cages) -Tropical fruit salad (mango, papaya, pineapple) - 4 8...

dalas is singing in the shower right now: “Drop it Like It’s Hot” turned seamlessly into “I Love Trash” from Sesame Street. We made $40 taste testing baked potatoes today!
It seriously takes me at least 2-3 viewings of a Cingular commercial to realize that they are doing that bar-logo thing in every shot. I don’t know what it is, but Cingular’s ideas just don’t register with my brain.
“I’ll TTYL witchu later”
– Rachel
Married people have lower rates of all types of mental illnesses and suicide. But what about the murder rates? Marriage is terrifying. J/K!
Here’s something you should try: Find a way to lightly wet your underarm with apple cider vinegar (wet a folded paper towel or a sponge with apple cider vinegar). Then put a dusting of baking soda on top of the layer of vinegar. You can use your fingers or you can use a makeup brush or pad. This creates the best deoderant I have ever used. It makes your underarm smell totally neutral. I put...
More on fruit
“”The way you’ve got to look at fruit is that it’s better to eat fruit than biscuits, cakes and puddings, because there’s very little energy value in it and it’s not fattening,” he says. “A bit of sugar gives you a lift and takes the pangs of hunger away. But it’s not full of all sorts of other nutrients as well. That’s a myth.”...
Fruit LIES
With whole fruit, the cell structure is still intact, and you swallow pieces. They take longer to digest and the sugar in them is released slowly, rather than the rapid spike in blood glucose produced by drinking juice, or a smoothie. “If you liquidise it into goo it’s just like drinking ordinary Coke. Or worse, actually,” he says. “It’s still a sugary drink. Wow. I...
Saddest Kinds of Dads
anja: It's sad because he had a kid
alice: kind of... but not as sad as a kid with a junkie for a dad
anja: I feel like that's equally sad- junkie VS good dead dad
alice: yeah i guess so, but dead junkie dad is okay

I got 17 out of 20…Thanks to Sam Reich for posting this cool challenge — paulscheer Don’t be fake with me, I got 18 out of 20 right! — andreaallen I got 18/20 as well! And with one of the wrong ones I was suspicious but tried guessing the opposite of my gut reaction. Can we get paid to do this somewhere? Guessing smiles all day? I would have felt weird if I got most of them...
It's Over
Hillary Clinton was on the Tyra Banks show yesterday. I guess she’s just trying to get votes from the female viewing population, but I would never vote for someone who went on that show. It was a total disgrace. It totally bummed me out because it would be cool if a woman was the president, but this really made me respect Hillary Clinton a lot less. SORRY! It disgusted me to watch Tyra...
Lady of the Flies
My house is infested with flies! Ahh! It’s like something out of a horror movie when they’re all swarming around your head. I have NO idea where they’re coming from. I don’t have rotten food anywhere, the kitty litter is clean and I’ve searched high and low for any kind of source….. No. Idea. — butterflyeffect Woah! This happened to me in my old house in...
I just had a dramatic moment at the pedestrian crosswalk that dalas posted about a couple days ago. I was standing there, ready to cross, and noticed an SUV coming that didn’t really look like they were planning to stop. Since they were still a safe distance away, I started crossing the street and they slowed to a stop. When I was about halfway in front of their vehicle, they were rear-ended...
Dear everyone who consistently fails to stop their car so that I can cross at the pedestrian crosswalk, or even fails to stop when I’m halfway across the pedestrian crosswalk: Don’t talk on your cellphone when you’re supposed to be driving your car. — dalasverdugo Seriously, wake the fuck up! I’m not a driver so I didn’t realize until very recently that there is a...

In addition to my etsy shops, I also sell vintage clothing on ebay. I have some auctions ending today around 3pm PST. Lots of good stuff!

Can I get excited about this? — diniscans It’s almost as good as a rocketship powered by farts.
“I can’t even hate on this soy latte nigga. I knew deep down the shit was played...”
– Nigga Know » Soy Latte White Man on Soulja Boy Hahahaha! I’m speechless. This might be the best thing ever written in repsonse to something I’ve said. The commenters also have some awesome descriptions of me.
snope that shit god damnit
Why don’t my stupid myspace friends ever Snope anything? On any given day there will be like 3 bulletins all about missing kids (who don’t exist), petitions to prevent myspace from shutting down (that’s retarded), or ~urgent safety alerts~ about online predators/real life killers (also nonexistent). It takes like, 5 seconds to copy/paste a line of text into google to see if it...
WatchIt was in a can, sprayed on like easy cheese, and organic? no way. — ianlee Thanks for reminding me to Tumbl my own video, Ian! Pancakes in a can! — dalasverdugo I love you pancakes in a can!!

Is dating as glamorous as it looks in “Sex and the City”? Or has it changed since then? Is there a darker, harder side? (PS Why is it so uncool to like Sex and the City now? Is it because it was popular and it’s uncool to like popular things?) — juliaallison Probably because of the zeitgeist. Which culture finds irrelevant, dated, and compartmentalized opulence cool? Some...
When you two get down, who's wearing the cloven...
When it first came out, I really liked the Bjork album Vespertine. I recently listened to it again for the first time in years, and now that I know who Matthew Barney is I find it really hard to listen to her singing about him falling asleep inside of her and all the rest of that similar garbage.
I went to the post office today to mail a bunch of stuff. The post office that is within biking distance for me is pretty crummy, because it’s REALLY slow and I always have to wait in line for a long time. I’ve gotten to the point where I just expect and accept it. Today on my way out (after maybe a 20 min wait), a lady in line with her kid started hassling the ONE person working the...
