Today my research seminar met at the library, and a research librarian taught us how to research and hooooooly shit there’s a lot out there about space aliens. Scientific stuff out there.
Librarians are excellent and I’m going to be researching this forever.

I’m trying to pick my at-bat music for reading tomorrow night at school, and I cannot figure this the fuck out.
Party Rock Anthem gets me pumped and happy, but it’s kind of embarrassing.
Catch My Disease is neat in that it makes me feel like an episode of TBTL, but it’s not really right.
Scythian Empires has a nice open, but is so calm and… twee? I dunno. I don’t...
Anonymous asked: Hi! I'm interested in the writing contest you posted about but I am confused. I are there any other rules/restrictions I should know about? I have no affiliation whatsoever with Columbia and I am wondering if I can still enter.

The 2012 Columbia: A Journal of Literature and Art... →
Hey! Submit to our contest, and please pass this on to any writers you know who might be interested.
(In case the name of the journal is confusing— this is a magazine published at Columbia, not one meant for publishing Columbia students’ work. Past issues have included work by Matthew Derby, Eula Biss, and other such stars of my personal pantheon.)
To be repetitive and blunt: please...

The Most Badass Excerpt From Barney Frank's...
Interviewer: You’ve long argued for the decriminalization of marijuana. Do you smoke weed?
Barney Frank: No.
Interviewer: Why not?
Barney Frank: Why do you ask a question, then act surprised when I give an answer? Do you think I lie to people?
Interviewer: I thought you might explain why you support decriminalizing it but don’t smoke it.
Barney Frank: Do you think I’ve ever had an abortion?

How unpopular are these what-I-think-are unpopular...
Bates is boring.
Bates and Anna have no chemistry.
Edith, although the least conventionally pretty of the daughters, is the prettiest of the daughters.
It is a subtle reimagining of Fiddler on the Roof.

re: that excellent cleaning I did earlier—
When I washed the litter box, I failed to make sure that what I *thought* was a spare bag of the litter pellets for the fancy weird litter box was actually a spare bag of the litter pellets for the fancy weird litter box.
It was a second spare bag of the pee pads that go in the fancy weird litter box. (Shut up it works it almost never smells and...

I have vinegared the humidifier. I have Bon Ami’d the litter box. We have a water filter pitcher now; I washed that out, too. I’m gonna wash my tights so I have pretty things to wear this week. And then I’m going to make myself a motherfucking steak.
I felt like a depressed lil sloth at the end of yesterday, so this is partly in response to that.
It is also in response to...

My response when purity ball Randy Wilson tells me the events have nothing to do with virginity. (Thanks to the lovely commenters at Jezebel for this!) I hope one day I can have a gif where I look super sexy and nonchalant, but until then this will do. ;)
Nobody wants gifs that are super sexy and nonchalant.
This is awesome.
Made this for dinner tonight. Unf, as they say. →
EDIT: Wait, Tanner thinks “unf” means… um, completing the act? I thought it was, like, a grunt of appreciation (for a sexy butt or a tasty dinner, more for a sexy butt). So I don’t know. Dinner was really good.

Don’t mind me, just sitting on the closed toilet, feet in warm water in the tub I use to wash delicates trying to heal that weird tendon thing, reading out loud the essay I’m reading at this reading at school next Thursday night.

You know you want to.
I can’t read this; I feel TOO MUCH.
Way before I ever had the opportunity to utilize it, I learned how to perform oral sex on (with? for?) a woman from an early passage from Valley of the Horses. I don’t mean I learned about it in the abstract. I mean details and technique.
And, years later, honest to god, it seemed to...

Okay but the one sex scene in this book is a violent rape.

Home just long enough for potato chips, cold thai food, and tea.
Off to tutor now.
Not sure I like this whole “grad school life” thing.
