n+1: internships →
“Interns are involved in all aspects of the magazine’s production—printing, distribution, publicity, subscriptions, web administration, transcription, carrying boxes, and bartending. Interns should expect limited involvement in editorial work during the internship itself.”
1. Bartending interns?
2. Is it worth it if you literally are just a coffee monkey and don’t really get to...
If my expectations of pre-relationship behaviors are different from yours, then we shouldn’t be thinking about a relationship in the first place.
I firmly believe that monogamy should happen before a relationship is established to prove that it can and will happen in the future. Excessive? Probably. But it’s the only way I can prevent the past from repeating itself. If you talk like...
I have miraculous free time right now, which I would ideally like to spend having sex, but that isn’t really working out for me right now (or ever) so I’m just going to watch Misfits and eat my feelings.
Someone please teach me how/where to meet girls...

There WILL be photos of me at our birthday party next weekend.
I’m tired of it looking like I’m a hired photographer. I want evidence that I was there, with my friends, to look back on for myself. And part of that is the photos I take, but that also means seeing photos of myself with my friends.

Sheri just finished watching Tea's episode of US...
Sheri: “I think I want to watch the last episode of the first season.” Riley: “You want to watch Tony get hit by a bus?” Sheri: “Yeah.”

Some people say they believe in god because he makes the world beautiful. Well, I believe in science because science makes the world’s beauty more apparent.
What's Happening in Egypt Explained. (UPDATED) →
promotingpeace:
The basics: Egypt is a large, mostly Arab, mostly Muslim country. At around 80 million people, it has the largest population in the Middle East and the third-largest in Africa. Most of Egypt is in North Africa, although the part of the country that borders Israel, the Sinai…

shitphotojournalistslike:
Is shooting between 7 and 10 frames per second ALL THE TIME necessary? Probably. You need to get that perfect shot, and shooting single frames might cause you to miss. But that’s not why we do it. We do it because it looks awesome, sounds awesome, and it feels like we’re shooting a machine gun.
Hell, you’ve got Dual Digic 4 Processors. Use ‘em.
PREACH.

eturosanna:
and other antiquated sexual terms that need to be brought back.
Since when was this an antiquated term? I hear it all the time. You guys just need to be lesbians. Or watch more porn. Or both.

So I had this dream:
There was a cat. It seemed nice. It was kind of weird that the cat was in our apartment, but I was all “Yay, kitty!” and didn’t think about it.
Then the kitty started being all sweet on me, and something seemed weird.
THEN IT TURNED INTO A WOMBAT WITH SCARY TEETH AND TRIED TO EAT MY HAND.
THE CAT WAS A SHAPE-SHIFTING WOMBAT.
And so we tried to kick it...
Worst mistake ever: went to sleep so tired I forgot to set my alarm to take my pain meds every 3 hours, woke up 5 hours later looking hilariously like I was smuggling golf balls in my cheeks!
It was so stupid, I had to laugh at myself.

We just put in the dvd for Despicable Me.
The minions started giggling in the dvd’s intro, and Pogo ran into the room and stared at the tv.
(He also does this when we watch Wall-E. He likes things that make the same noises as he does.)
Shortage of steel pans has Detroit-style pizza... →
This is possibly the worst thing ever to happen to Detroit pizzas. I hope the Jet’s guy manages to get them replicated.

I've had surgery before, but that doesn't mean I'm...
Going under is weird, and I bet they’ll do it with the mask, and last time they did it through my IV (which is way more fun, you don’t have to think about it), and last time I was in a place with emergency rooms but this time I’ll be in an oral surgeon’s office in an office park. And office parks are bizarre places.
I mean, I was really anxious before my breast reduction...

My mom didn’t like the ringtones that came with her phone and asked me to find her a different one. So we paged through my itunes library and she picked Dan Deacon! Nice job, mom! Now her ringtone is Woof Woof, which is going to make her look music savvy.

why I’m having a crisis right now… I need to find, for this summer, in the city:
an apartment I can afford
an internship in the industry (or I’ll never get hired post-graduation)
a job that can sustain me completely
I know that I have to pay for everything on my own, because my parents don’t have any money to help me. And I have a little bit of money saved up, but I...

why yes, I've always been a nerd.
Going to bed so I can read for another 2 hours without getting lectured on my “poor sleeping habits.” It’s just like when I was a kid!
Eric, I always cut my own bangs!
I always cut my own hair completely! I haven’t had a professional near my hair in at least 3 years.

Are you serious? Godot video game? →
My idea of a Godot video game: played on a console that only allows two controllers, the game refuses to let you move past the mini-games until a third controller and player has been added.
Which I think is funnier than the fake game tediously described in the article, but that’s okay.
I want a Freud video game where everything you do sends you back to start with a giant Freud boss...

Last night my dream was about stealing someone’s identity and then someone else trying to mass-murder an entire high school with her bare hands (cracking people’s necks) and running to a “hermetically sealed house” that had a broken side door the wacko homeowner had forgotten about and a giant room with princess & the pea-style beds, and then I woke up.
The night...
