unofficialreed: themessmaker: one of reed’s senior theses was entitled, i kid you not, “the lack of phallic imagery in herman melville’s seminal work or moby dick: total misnomer.” i need to be at this school. No it wasn’t — that’s the title of a fake thesis used in a mocumentary made in … 2001, I think? It’s an excellent film (“Behind the Thesis: Who Is Ruby Starr?”) starring several of...

gingerhaze: Helen Mirren wants to play the Doctor Am I just super into this? Yes I don’t even care about Doctor Who unless it’s the pinball game, but I would care about it if Helen Mirren were involved.

thejollymonarch: motherjones: Your “Yes, really” of the day. Watching Rick Perry repeatedly annihilate his own campaign is literally the only enjoyable part of following American politics nowadays. I was hoping he actually said it out loud…that would have made my day. Spelling it “Kim Jong II” in the headline of a press blast is a little bit of a let-down. But it also...

“I continue to be surprised, horrified, and delighted on a daily basis.”
– While we’re on the Wiley Wiggins train, a quote from the AMA he did on Reddit. Part of a conversation on his philosophical beliefs and working on Waking Life. I like it a lot.

It's Not For Everybody: Wiley Wiggins's resume →
I have this thing about actors who do other stuff. I don’t know how to explain it. The little kid from Dazed and Confused (“little kid,” what, he was 17 when he played an 8th grader) is fascinating to me because, while he has done a few other movies (including Richard Linklater’s other cult classic, Waking Life, which he also did animation for), he does...

“Will do. Love 2 U! See you next 2sday. Mom”
– Email from the matriarch. Mom. Is the word “Tuesday” really so difficult? Also “love space 2 space U” is pretty much just as time-consuming as “love space you.” Regardless, I love you, too. See you next Tuesday.

If my crazy, ridiculous, melt-down of a night last night taught me anything, it’s that THERE IS NO REASON WHY I DON’T WEAR FOOTY PAJAMAS ALL THE TIME. Why in God’s name have I been wearing anything else for 24 years? So tempted to wear them to my study group meeting in an hour.

Amy Poehler and Rashida Jones Perform a Duet on Late Night with Jimmy Fallon ?UESTLOVE YOUR FACE. Your face plus the fact that you played “Lyin’ Ass Bitch” for Bachmann’s walkout song a couple weeks ago. These things mean we were meant to be together. Because I also have a face and a hatred of Michele Bachmann. That’s the recipe for a successful relationship, right?

hipsandhearts: jeeby: take a break from studying for finals Kidz these dayz, with their finals and their retro fake-CDs that they can stream for free … when I was in school, we had to access the shared libraries on our network’s iTunes. This looks like a pretty good mix though. Too bad I’m not in a library procrastinating with my earbuds, but manning the front desk at my job. #pambeesly ...
