A while back I asked people on my Twitter friends list to DM me with the answer to a really simple question: What is your favorite color? I got some really interesting responses, and I thought to myself: “Hey self” “Yeah?” “What if we do a really neat post out of this?” “Well! That’s a [...]

This is how I first encountered this speech pattern meme-thing in the wilds of soup. It made no sense and every time I saw it, I giggled like a small, feeble-minded child. The absurdity! The expressions! And oh how the mind delighted over the many awkward possibilities of the missing verb. This pattern, “I accidentally [...]

Day one was fraught with challenges, up to and including having trouble finding the venue. It took a lot of wandering around, a phone call, and I think two concierge desk stops to finally figure out that the Copley Plaza Marriott was in fact through the Copley Plaza Westin and the attached mall.

It features vocals provided by Karin Dreijer Andersson from an electronica duo called The Knife (whose album Silent Shout has also been on repeat [...]

A clear and flagrant disrespect for all things was extruded from the two young men chatting back and forth on the mostly empty train car and left the air palpably unclean. Crisp suits, slick and greasy hair, shifty bright eyes, and utter animal stupidity were readily apparent upon a quick glance. Typical upper-class white boys [...]

If you’re unfamiliar with the term “papercraft”, it can be defined as: taking a pattern for a 3d object and constructing it entirely out of paper. Not quite like origami, since you are encouraged to cut, glue, and supplement to [...]
