Ok everybody. Simmer down. I’ve done some research into the Born This Way – Express Yourself issue. For what it’s worth I’ve really come around on Born This Way. My inner gay homo is just too strong to reject it. Born This Way in the Midwest? This particular one is sui generis when it comes […]

New Optimism —
Once, in the vehicle of chat, Geoff exclaimed, “Exclamation is the new optimism!” And we believe he’s right, by god. Here, a place to explore a modern manifesto.

This has a tinge of cheesy-ness to it but I feel like I would be remiss not to point it out. Please stay tuned until the middle part for the Katie Couric part. Um…. sha day! And if you want to follow the thread, which I recommend (but you have to wait until the end […]
Internet search produces unexpected breakthrough
So. As I’m not a great speller I recently quickly googled “gorgeous” to make sure I had spelled it correctly. Um… I found something interesting in the process. This image came up as the number one result for “gorgeous”. I’m not sure about the whole back story but they refer to the “uncanny valley” which […]
Note to self: Ask doctor re: Inadequate Lashes
I’m fascinated that the threshold for this diagnosis is “having inadequate or not enough lashes”. I can already hear you saying: “Yes, Geoff. Your lashes are adequate. They’re enough”. But you and I aren’t doctors. I mean who wouldn’t put up with a possibly reversible darkening of the eyelids and a possibly not reversible browning […]
Congrats, ladies! 2009 is for US!
Or… it’s the year for picnics. Or we’re going to be made into a picnic. I’m terribly confused, which means it must still be 2008. Wait, what’s that say? Let’s look closer, shall we? Thanks, Korea. Also, Happy New Year, science-ologists!
Allman, Fancy Designer, Declares Piece “A Bold Example of Outsider Photoshopping.”
For a long time–too long, really–I had to rely on others for my photoshop needs: basic cheek-slimming, photocardmaking, prankyanking, etc. It wasn’t like I didn’t WANT to be able to be a grade-A print comedienne/deft re-writer of photohistory. It was, frankly, a classic issue of access and exposure. Cut to new job, fully of fancy […]
Shirt this: Shirting is For Jerks Who Don’t Know How To Sash
Behold, the most terrific birthday present of all time–for real–which arrived in my actual mailbox today. Note that it came with a companion sash that reads, simply, “Asshole”– for use in times of shame and/or lesser optimism. Instructions for appropriate wear-ability were also included. Well done, Austin bureau. And thousand thanks.
If not for queso, then for what?
(Thanks B. Walker of the W. Coast bureau.)
We totally hike!
Totally!
