Pygmania

It began innocently enough. I'd wanted to download a decent Android app for logging my monthly cycle, on account of that shit don't belong in gcal no more. Can you guess what    ± 0   is code for? The app I picked turned out to be a super deluxe period tracker extraordinaire complete with a tumblr presence ( blog.glowing.com ; teh lulz) and infographics  delusions of grandeur: Dear app that tracks the whereabouts of my uterine lining: please, take yourself less seriously. You have my permission. This post is part of a series on menarche and ritualisms and more ™  (oh, my!) See the first installment, conveniently titled Menarche: Archaisms and More!

Quotes I wish she'd call me back now, because I'd like to share with her the last of my dreams, in which the new College of Technical Careers building has turned out to be yet another replica of my own house, like Julie's, this one on a Brobdingnagian scale.      -- Richard Russo \\ Straight Man Back in 2007, when the New York–based web advertising giant DoubleClick sold itself to Google

I'm transferring to NYU or Columbia from FIDM to study psychology, so you'll see me in New York if you live here but I HATE stalkers! — amanda bynes (@amandabynes) October 7, 2014 What do you think her safety schools are?

Savor and enlarge. Rinse and repeat. Can you even? Thought not. Now, moving on to the real meat and potatoes of this post--cutting to a truer, madder and deeper chase --let us consider: The romance of Kate Moss and Johnny Depp. How great is it that all this happened?

reposting a nice little piece from last week's nyt magazine [ link ] with several parts that felt like inside jokes between us. should we feel robbed?

From the window of my first-floor apartment, I heard the cheeping of baby birds and affectionately observed their downy forms and tiny black-tipped beaks: my very own slice of nature. But in May, when the squabs matured into fledglings and flew off, it seems that a horde of barely visible parasites that had been feeding off them — bird mites — needed a new blood supply.

Then enjoy spending the rest of the day devouring more information about it. "Considering the awesome, spooky spectacle of Carol Christian Poell’s “Mainstream Downstream” presentation in Milan for men’s SS04, it’s a wonder the label isn’t more famous.
