confessionizer:

I get nervous when confessioner secrets sound closely to my own. I’m afraid that people reading the secrets will think I wrote them and then I’ll have nothing to hide.

Argh. Confessionizer. Unfollow.

1. How would people know their your secrets if THEY’RE SECRETS??

2. They’re not even your secrets!!

I want to start a new tumblr called STFU You Sadsack and repost every confessionizer post.

currently watching the best episode of full house ever

babybitch:

moniquethefreak:

the one where dj is swimsuit obsessed and after a couple of days on an all ice diet she gets stressed at the fact that the lbs arent melting off. at a family outting to the gym dj pushes herself a lil too hard and shocks the family at her starving herself and overworking. in the end anorexia is solved in a thirty minute time frame. i love you full house.

I love that I texted her 20 minutes later saying this is my fav episode cause I had jsut turned it on. I had no idea she had blogged about it. Bff’s esp even if were on opposite ends of the earth the country. lovies!

I love that episode because of that moment when Stephanie tries to eat one of DJ’s popsicles and Stephanie has the totally 90’s argument “I don’t see your name on it,” and voila, DJ had WRITTEN HER NAME on the popsicle wrapper. Genius. I employed that many times against my brother.

Dinner with Dad

peterwknox:

Any place good to take my Dad to dinner around West 75th street?

He’s from out of town (and paying!).

Go down around Lincoln Center - there’s lots of great (and pricey) places. My recs: O’Neals, Josephina’s, Shun Lee, Nick and Toni’s, and if your dad is a real high-roller, Picholine or Bar Boulud. More here.

HARRISON FORD: City of Gold? Isn’t that what Nicolas Cage was looking for in National Treasure 2? Are we seriously getting the plot for our shitty sequel to Indiana Jones by ripping off the plot of a shitty sequel to a shitty knock-off of Indiana Jones? I feel like that should unravel the space-time continuum or something.

loving everything about this right now. Thanks Ade!

dazzlingdelta: soupsoup: suitep: (via ericlodwick) Great shot. Nicely done. I’ve spent many a late drunken night at Coffee Shop, not late enough to see the sunrise, however. yum just had lunch there yesterday My problem with the Coffee Shop is that block reeks of rotting food and garbage during the summer. I live on 16th on the west side of 5th Ave and I’m SO GLAD my commute now takes me west to the 1 instead of east to the N/Q/R. Even thinking about eating at Coffee Shop or any of the other restaurants on that stretch of 16th St. makes me gag. Blech.

Samantha, Kirsten, Felicity, Molly, Kit, Addy, Kaya, Josefina... I bet there are more by now.

veriloquent:

Did you have an American Girl doll? I’m reading on Jezebel about the new movie. Kit was cute, though I was long out of the dolls when she came around. However, if they brought Samantha to theatres I’d go in a heartbeat to just reminisce.

Molly was my first. Then I got Kirsten, then Addy. But I had aaaall the books and paper dolls (that were available when I was the right age) and I still credit them for my love of history. Also, my obsession with period dramas. My parents were hard-asses and only bought me educational toys, which meant my dolls only got the period clothing which meant I spent most of my childhood playing pretend in the 18th and 19th centuries. My dorkdom didn’t come from nowhere, people.

edatrix: whatonearth: A Chinese child sits amongst a pile of wires and e-waste. Children can often be found dismantling e-waste containing many hazardous chemicals known to be potentially very damaging to children’s health. The world is consuming more and more electronic products every year. This has caused a dangerous explosion in electronic scrap (e-waste) containing toxic chemicals and heavy metals that cannot be disposed of or recycled safely. But this problem can be avoided. We are pressing leading electronic companies to change; to turn back the toxic tide of e-waste. Every year, hundreds of thousands of old computers and mobile phones are dumped in landfills or burned in smelters. Thousands more are exported, often illegally, from the Europe, US, Japan and other industrialised countries, to Asia. There, workers at scrap yards, some of whom are children, are exposed to a cocktail of toxic chemicals and poisons. via Greenpeace.

dear working women of my generation,

just because we got away with not having to wear pantyhose doesn’t mean we can wear flip-flops to work.

love,

me.

Actually, yes it does. It means I’m wearing flip-flops right now. And no bra. :)

…

Seriously, unless I’m having a meeting with someone I need to impress, what the fuck doesn’t matter whether I’m wearing shoes AT ALL? But maybe I’m biased as our head boss is often shoeless a la Bertram Cooper.
