Thank You!

i think i like option A because they flow well with the o in your last name. it just looks more uniform.

Unmoored.
That’s the word I’ve been searching for and what I’ve been feeling deep in my bones lately. At sea. Lost. Adrift. Floating. Untethered. A little unhinged. Lots of un’s.
Not unloved and uncared for though. People have really been coming through for me. Yes, they’ve canceled and rescheduled, and sometimes can’t stay on the phone or online as long as I need (want)...

Cool People Are Cool
murmurandshout answered your question: Hey, guys: I’m trying to get my websiteredesigned…
I’d have to go with Option B, because I’ve always preferred that type of aover the other. It’s easier to distinguish from an o.
Thanks for the reblog, Sarah! You’re the best. I love a lively debate around typography and the merits of closed or open “a”s.

Ask. →
I’m probably not sleeping tonight (and have not slept well in weeks now), so if anyone wants to ask me something or even tell me something, please feel free. Nobody ever takes me up on this when I post the link occasionally. Let’s change that?
ETA: I realize some of you are normal people who sleep normal hours. The “ask” link is always there, never used, so don’t be...

“I smoked and looked down at the bottom of Pittsburgh for a little while,...”
– Michael Chabon, The Mysteries of Pittsburgh
This struck a chord with me at a time that I really need it. Things are happening. Good things, bad things. Possibly great, big things? I can’t tell you about them until they’re real and not just in the ether, but soon.

The Rumpus: Letters In The Mail →
“The Rumpus is finally starting a print subscription. We’d like to say this was the plan all along, but we’ve actually never had a plan. It’s called Letters in the Mail. Almost every week you’ll receive a letter, in the mail. Letter writers will include Dave Eggers, Marc Maron, Stephen Elliott, Janet Fitch, Nick Flynn, Margaret Cho, Cheryl Strayed, Wendy MacNaughton, Emily Gould, Tao Lin,...

How to Search Your Tumblr and Actually Find What...
Google “Search Term site:username.tumblr.com” (or site:domain-where-your-tumblr-is-hosted.com). Example.
I’ve been doing this for awhile, but I get the idea from how often others on my dashboard complain about Tumblr’s non-functional search that a lot of people don’t know or use this workaround. It would be great if the in-site search ever worked, but in the...

Introducing Book Boroughing: A NYC Literary Event...
largeheartedboy:
When I first moved to Brooklyn last January, I was overwhelmed by the number of literary events. Every night featured several worthwhile readings, and at least once a week something spectacular totally slipped past my radar.
I have come to depend upon the literary event calendars and previews at The Contextual Life, Book Stalker, and Slice Magazine, among others, but none...

down the rabbit hole: part two
I unearthed an old Xanga journal (remember Xanga, you guys?) the other day that I apparently used for exactly six entries in 2006, almost all of which were overly dramatic and highly embarrassing to even skim. Luckily I managed to guess the correct password so I could change the view settings to private. As I’ve written about before, I kind of prefer to just lock down these traces of past...

That I Watched Over the Weekend
Tiny Furniture: I feel like this was overhyped. I wanted to love it, but I only liked it. However, I think Lena Dunham’s screenplay totally nailed the dialogue you often hear between 20-something post-grad pseudo-intellectuals in NYC (and probably in many other places too).
The Brothers Bloom: My second time seeing it, and I loved it even more. Those...

What happens when...
you’ve left your mother’s friend request on Facebook in pending forever? She joins Twitter and follows you there. Good thing I already cut down on/began self-censoring my use after a cousin started following me a long time ago, so it doesn’t really matter. But damn, if any family members follow me on Tumblr, I might have to quit the Internet.

So, you finished grad school. Now what?
Make an obligatory Facebook status post announcing the fact and update the work/school information on your profile.
Update your resume and LinkedIn and start applying for jobs.
Get a haircut, especially if it’s been six months since you last had one.
Have an intense argument on the phone with your mother about why you don’t want to move back home now that you have completed all...

Netflix Recommendations?
Can anyone recommend a very funny/feel good/zone out kind of movie (or TV show) that I can catch on Instant or even on Hulu? I could use a cheerful distraction right now (and I’m all caught up on Parks and Rec and Community).

"Movies Starring Paul Rudd"
Netflix recommendations can often seem like completely random mashups of different categories (see: Dark Showbiz 20th Century Period Pieces; Quirky Con-game Comedies), but sometimes they just really get you.

UWS Thursday Brought to You by Team CoCo
Thinking that the lines to pick up Conan tix and get into the theater for the actual taping would be around the block with long waits because that’s what people on Twitter said, I did the majority of today’s work yesterday and super early this morning. It was quick and easy to get the tickets since we went at 10:30 instead of 8am. And yeah, we could’ve gone home and went back,...
