it’s been a while since i’ve taken one of these

russann:

Pete took the Prius today so Roxy and I went on a field trip. We were doing just fine until we got to the car wash. She was all “Caitlin always gets the Rain-X and Wheel Brightener and Ultimate Wash and goes through the automatic wash.” I was all “Well, Caitlin isn’t here, is she? Just be glad you’re getting washed at all. And, by the way, who always kept you clean before Cait worked at the car wash.” That shut her up.
Cait had left a mixtape in the car so we tried to guess who we were listening to—-M.I.A., No Doubt, Jenny Lewis, Sweeney Todd, Amy, some guy I didn’t know…
We voted the following:
Best Dressed: Gwen (of course)
Best Vocals: Amy
Best Storyteller: Jenny
Most Innovative and Most Makes You Feel Like You’re Entering A Jungle to Fight Contras or Colombian War Lords: M.I.A.
Most Makes You Not Want to Eat Meat: Sweeney Todd
“Funnest” Car to Drive: Roxy because she is so fast and has a sunroof
The End

Thoughts on Pennsylvania

morganpearse:

Recently noticed:

1. We have a “Lesbian Alliance” that enforces littering laws around my house.

2. My friends here can keep me from feeling lonely if I let them.

There are more things that I don’t feel particularly comfortable disclosing on the internet, so I won’t, but, the point is, “home” looks a little different after being away. I feel less and more comfortable, and less and more like myself.

Alex and I were talking about how it’s lovely to visit Pennsylvania, but we wouldn’t want to move back. And how bizarre that is, thinking we’ve lived the majority of our lives there and, suddenly, we’ve outgrown it. The lavender leather wallet I gave her for her sixteenth birthday was stolen last week, straight out of her purse, as she was coming out of the subway.

It blows my mind to think that the thing is now held captive by some strange woman somewhere in New York.

it is hot and i’m being eaten alive by 1 593 bugs.

We’re borrowing money from China to buy oil from the Persian Gulf to burn it in ways that destroy the planet. Every bit of that has got to change.

another scene from T2!

I don’t have a very big role in this one, but it is still pretty epic

I approve of these. Coming soon: JURASSIC PARK!

Sometimes Cait says weird stuff to me before we go to sleep

Cait: I could flick your diaphragm and break you in half.
Cait: You don't even know nothing.
Cait: At least my face is smarter than your dumb foot.
Cait: I have been welding you some robot arms while you are sleeping.
Cait: I woke up this morning and you were eating a cantaloupe with a spoon. I put it there.
Cait: I built a computer when I was two out of Cheese-its.
Cait: I think she should move out and live on the curb. Or maybe I should. Or maybe we should all just stay in one place.
Cait: WRONG. plus or minus nine. absolute value. O sorry I was speaking in ten dimensions, dumby.

I smell summer for the first time all year.

I used to read about this knife in Dwell. Bennet is a chef.

I feel so lucky.

Caitlin: “It might be kind of scary, so just know in advance.” (Thanks, Cait! I’ll brace myself.)

Eeek have fun! Next Wednesday on IMAX for me!

It is only a truly dysfunctional system that would buy into the perverse logic that the short-term answer to high gasoline prices is drilling for more oil 10 years from now,” Gore said.

“Tell a Lie” Photoshop series by Henry Hadlow starring Ed Cornish. In the project description Hadlow notes - “The most controversial lies told with photography today are those told by news photographers who manipulate their work photographs to tell a different story.”

These are amazing.
