– Jonathan Franzen, “Liking is for Cowards. Go for What Hurts.” http://nyti.ms/jzSMMi Hah, it’s funny. I was going to post a quote from The History of Love by Nicole Krauss, which I finished during a rather, well, jarring day at the Jersey Shore with my grandmother and parents. It...

Okay, wow, posting twice in a row. So for my Art Hum paper, I was Googling stuff on color theory and came across this color quiz: http://www.colorquiz.com/.  It is kind of retarded (pre-empting the haters), but it was like the best horoscope ever! (well, except that it says that I can get uncontrollably angry - RAWWWR - and I hold back emotionally. it also says i’m rele in sexytimes - hoh...

weird and intense things
This weekend I was supposed to write a paper for Art Hum and a draft of my independent study project for Tuesday (the former is now almost-done; the latter is now not-done), but I ended up going through Thought Catalog archives. I really liked a few on twentysomethings and love - two of my fave topics.  From “The Kinds of People You Can Date” (sad, but, i suppose, tru 2 lyfe) You...

Below are some excerpts of a Harvard Crimson editorial that was posted to Bwog (one of Columbia’s campus blogs). You can find the full article here: http://www.thecrimson.com/article/2011/2/17/harvard-many-feel-out/, and the Bwog article here: http://bwog.com/2011/02/27/something-we-dont-usually-do/ Though I haven’t felt suicidal ever, this really struck a chord with me. Like others...

a most searing indictment
I’M COMIC SANS, ASSHOLE. BY MIKE LACHER Listen up. I know the shit you’ve been saying behind my back. You think I’m stupid. You think I’m immature. You think I’m a malformed, pathetic excuse for a font. Well think again, nerdhole, because I’m Comic Sans, and I’m the best thing to happen to typography since Johannes fucking Gutenberg. You don’t...
