kellydeal asked: I THINK IT'S PRETTY OBVIOUS SOMEONE'S GOING TO ASK YOU TO SING "THE CARDIGANS" HIT "LOVEFOOL" AND ALL CONSIDERING YOUR LOVE FOR ALL THINGS CARDIGAN, SO LET'S HEAR IT, BECAUSE YOU ARE AWESOME AND STUFF, YEAH?
I just read a book that was part memoir, part...
See, that sounds really interesting right?
It was the new Elizabeth Gilbert book. See, now you’re judging me.
That’s why I hate the the term “Chick Lit.” De-legitimizing something because it appeals to women, dismissing it as not “literary” enough because its main demographic has a vagina is insulting on so many levels; because being a girl doesn’t have...
Things Gynecologists should never say during an...
yayaa:
Damn!
Score!
Have we met before?
Nice!
CAN ANYBODY HEAR ME?
E.T. phone home
Oh boy
Well, this is awkward
Are you sure we haven’t met before?
Where did I put my glasses?
You can stop moaning.
I’ve got to get a picture of this.
Hope you have good insurance.
It’s times like these I wish I would’ve become an optometrist.
YOU REMIND ME OF YOUR MOTHER.
True story. That’s...
OH FOR FUCK'S SAKE. Working on a Saturday sucks.
Tell me something. Ask me something. Just something.
I like to pretend saying "prettiest please" get me...
Also, thanks!
It just occured to me I could post a video of me...
LOL WINE.

JAMES. I HATE YOU RIGHT NOW.
I fixed my time machine problem. So thanks to all.
But especially to this guy.
I would have fixed it sooner if I took 10 seconds to read the error message carefully, rather than glancing at it and “fixing” the wrong file first.
YOU GUYS. I AM SO TIRED. SO TIRED I SOUND DRUNK.
FUCK BEING A GROWN-UP.

I am tired. I thought this said BONED over Saved By The Bell!
Which I thought was hilariously delightful.
Today just got interesting. In a potentially...
This project is a big deal and is cool and is hard and challenging and makes me like my job. But. OH FUCKING MY. with the stress.
"Exploring the aesthetic boundaries of film...
alinasmith:
It’s so easy to sound like a pompous ass. Just write an artist’s statement and try to find a fancy way of saying “fucking around with film.”
Before I got the self-deprecating explanation, I was thinking “Oh for fuck’s sake, I hate artist’s statements.”
I think jerkfaces is a term of endearment.
This might explain why I’m single.
A friend I haven't seen in a long time said I...
It’s funny, because I am. I can matter-of-factly talk about some sad things, and really positively talk about my life. It’s a nice feeling, one I should remember when I’m being annoyed.
Also, the first time she ever saw the NYC skyline was the first time I ever saw the skyline without the Twin Towers, which apparently stayed with her. It’s funny that sometimes a single...
New thing to add to the "Pants Off Moves*" List
me: I got her a duck towel,
him: A what?
me: A hooded towel that has a duck face on the hood. It was pretty adorable. Also, a copy of Goodnight Moon, and some organic shampoo/body wash baby stuff she registered for.
him: Goodnight Moon is the best. Good night bowl full of mush.
me: Did you just quote Goodnight Moon?
him: Yes….
me: Oh my. That’s the most fantastic thing ever. You...
My rainboots have cherries on them.
Earlier:
Andrew: I don’t have an umbrella or a raincoat. I’m going to need one for this weekend.
me: WHAT? How do you not have an umbrella!
Andrew: I live in a desert.
me: Oh.
Later:
Andrew: I got an umbrella!
me: Do you have rain boots?
Andrew: …….
me: Oh, I guess not, because you didn’t even have an umbrella.
me: Also, you’re a dude.
Facebook: Letting people feel good about being...
Saying your thoughts and prayers are with someone on Facebook makes me angry. Someone is going through the loss of a loved one, an extraordinarily difficult, painfully personal and excruciating series of emotions; and taking 45 seconds to update your status on site a site that lets you validate your life by keeping tags on people you pretend to know is basically worthless.
Even a goddamn text...
Clara Barton was a good person in the way that...
The years of toil during the Civil War and her dedicated work searching for missing In 1868, her doctors recommended a restful trip to Europe. In 1870, while she was overseas, she became involved with the International Committee of the Red Cross (ICRC) and its humanitarian work during the Franco-Prussian War.

I ran my first 5 mile run of 2010 today.
I feel awesome, except that my back is totally fucked up and I ran anyway and now I keep getting these stabbing pains. But really, I do feel pretty great right now.
Confession, I thought about cutting it short but I already told Andrew I was going to run 5 miles and I didn’t want to have to admit that I wussed out.
Also, when things get really bad, I just think of all the mean things...
Part of the phone call that saved Monday.
him: I’m going to make mac and cheese, as long as the milk’s still good.
me: Well, don’t drink it if it’s going to make you sick.
him: YOU DON’T KNOW ME.
him: EW. Definitely bad.
me: I just told you not to do that. AND THEN YOU YELLED AT ME. And then did exactly what I predicted.

ADD & ADHD
Ok, to be totally honest; I simply don’t fully understand these diagnoses. A photographer I work with all the time has a son who has a fairly severe case. He’s convinced that he also had this, but at the time it wasn’t something that was diagnosed. It’s interesting to hear about this, and how it effects his son. It sounds pretty torturous. This is the thing. I mean, I...
Pardon the pensiveness today, I've been reading...
Photojournalism is essential.
Few things are more powerful at turning at distant tragedy into a heartbreaking reality than an image - still or moving. I think as we sit in out ergonomic chairs typing on our pretty keyboards drinking a cup of coffee, it’s important to remember we’re lucky and that in other parts of the world people are trying to get through horrible tragedies on a regular basis.
I think that...
“There is a creative fraction of a second when you are taking a picture. Your eye...”
– Henri Cartier-Bresson, Washington Post in 1957.
The Decisive Moment, as concept, speaks to me in a way about how I’d like to live my life; in a way that religion seems to for others.
In Turkish the words for aunt and uncle are...
Huh. That’s really interesting and useful.
Language is lovely.

Everything that happens is from now on.
This is pouring rain.
This is paralyzed.

No really, I AM smarter than him.
My baby brother: Girls aren’t as funny as boys. Me: It’s okay, we’re smarter. Him: MAYBE IN YOUR DREAMS. Me: I’m way smarter than you. Him: [defeated silence]
You are not one of the guys. You know why? Because...
I am so tired of hearing girls say they are “just one of the guys.” You’re not. Wearing high heels has nothing to do with the amount swear words you use. Liking sports doesn’t cancel out your breasts. A love of video games doesn’t mean you sprout a dick. Stop acting like just because you aren’t a gender stereotype you’re better than me, just because I get...
I'll probably marry the guy who makes me want to...
True story.
So far, the most honest indicator of how I feel...
For example Ray LaMontagne means something very different than Phoenix.

It’s not like we were friends. But, in addition to losing some weight, the biggest difference in the almost five (!!!) years since I’ve graduated is I’ve started giving a damn about how I look. I spent college in a freezing city (Rochester) in a too comfortable relationship. I’ve shown up at a bar on a Saturday in a zip up magenta fleece. Save for the fact that I chopped my...

And then it ends up being basically what you guessed, but even more boring? I DOOOO.
nicky36 asked: Have I mentioned that I think you are really cute?
Wait, I know I have, so here is a better question:
Which is your favorite cardigan?
Wait, I know I have, so here is a better question:
Which is your favorite cardigan?
I've enabling asking.
But I’ll probably only answer the *really* good ones.
See, I really did!
