Also, I am HATING this trend of the wonky convex heel, most notably in all of Christian Siriano’s line for Payless.

Actually, it’s 16 jobs, not to mention those jobs are for 6+ profiting products. 700 people working on one project using other people’s money is not the echalon of success, it’s no more myopic than suggesting the only version of success is enterprise profit. 700 people working on one project using borrowed money is more reflective of a liability than it is a “success,” so that’s about what it counts for.

700 people working on one thing! It’s mind blowing.

Mark Zuckerberg launched a website that created 700 jobs. 37signals wrote a manifesto that created 15. That’s got to count for something.

My favorite moment in This Is It

(A video screen dissolves to reveal MJ standing in front of the screen, flanked by dancers. The music fades until there's silence. There's a long pause.)
Kenny Ortega: Ok guys? That's the cue, guys. Is there some confusion here about the cue? That's when you go.
Dancer: But...(looks up at MJ) he's sizzling.
MJ: I'm sizzling. I told them to let me sizzle.

Cook bacon in 2 batches in a 12-inch heavy skillet over moderate heat, turning over once, until bacon is lightly browned on edges but still flexible, 5 to 6 minutes total per batch. Transfer bacon as cooked to paper towels to drain.

Pour off fat from skillet and arrange bacon in skillet in 1 layer. Sprinkle Demerara sugar over bacon and cook over low heat, turning occasionally with tongs, until sugar is dissolved, caramelized (sugar melts very slowly and burns easily; reduce heat if necessary after sugar begins to caramelize), and coats bacon, 8 to 10 minutes. (Bacon will be dark and look lacquered.) Transfer bacon with tongs to brown paper to cool.

This has always been my favorite Halloween costume ever, mostly because of the positioning of the mustard’s hand. Ok put it here? Like here on my hip? Ok, make it flat? What do you mean flat, like open palm? Oh I see ok palm down but flat, ok how is this? Is this natural, do I look like a real mustard bottle?

I also never read Where the Wild Things Are thanks to my private Christian school education and the obvious secular presence of the imagination. But! This was one of my favorite books ever and a Miss Nelson, CSI hybrid would totally rock my world.

OMG U GUYS! Miss Nelson is missing!!!

ok, so I think I’m the only person who didn’t read Where the Wild Things Are as a kid. But I DID read Miss Nelson is Missing. I’m not all hoighty toighty, so I don’t need a movie by an artsy fartsy director. All I want is for there to be a one time cross network special where Miss Nelson, the new chem teacher at Degrassi High goes missing. A witch like substitute takes her place in the interim and now one of her male students goes missing. Upon further investigation Miss Nelson’s DNA is found on the sub but she’s not talking. Thats when it shifts over to Law and Order SVU. They are called in for a special assignment in Canada to see whether the two missing cases are connected. All this crazy stuff happens and it turns out Miss Nelson was the sub and it was all just some kinky game she was playing with the male student who has been at her house all this time. But he comes of age by the time they solve the case and some weird Canadian loop hole keeps them from prosecuting her. Then they move to the US because everyone at home hates them. They move to Wysteria Lane, never to be seen or heard from again because no one watches that show anymore.

They could do this for sweeps or something.

Damn. This book is the shit. Got this lil number at the first grade book fair in the library. Read the hell outta that one. Miss Nelson wasn’t missing, actually. She just dressed up like a witch because she needed some damn respect. Great book, great book.

how could i forget about this book?! so good. that miss nelson was so crafty.

Me: I just need to know if I am dying maybe.
Doctor: You're not dying at all. At all!
Me: So I don't have a parasite or worms?
Doctor: Uh, did you travel to a 3rd world country recently?
Me: No.
Doctor: (confused) Ok so you don't have a parasite I'm sure. You can't have worms or a parasite.
Me: Ok so what about Lyme disease? Or a tumor on my sinus causing pressure on my frontal lobes which could be instigating the constant nausea?
Doctor: (blinks)
Me: Just say I don't have Lyme disease. I have the Internet so just humor me.
Doctor: I think what will really help you is some yogurt and Zantac.

The exclamation I just made - out loud, mouth half full of coffee at 7:30 in the morning - sounded something like, “(gasp!) Fash (gurgle) pan el! Tight! (slurp) Panel!”

ANSWER UHM YEAH!

spangley:

i’m catching up on my zoe report emails & was reminded of these crazy awesome john paul gaultier fishnet panel tights - which i saw kylie minogue sporting when i saw her at the fox in oakland a few weeks ago. both kristen & i were mesmerized by them!

now, do i think that i could pull these off? probably not. and of course, even if i dared try, i’ll have to wait until urban outfitters or the like decides to make an affordable version of them to rock it. they probably make your legs seem super slim b/c of the contrast of the opaque tight vs. the fishnet inset, right? i’m still intrigued - are these fashion forward & rad, or trashy?

“

Why can’t we give love that one more chance
‘Cause love’s such an old fashioned word
And love dares you to change our way of
Caring about ourselves
This is our last dance

This is ourselves
Under pressure

“

My peace and quiet was stolen from me
When I was looking with calm affection
You were searching out my imperfections

What wasted unconditional love
On somebody
Who doesn’t believe in the stuff
