Today is a day of excellent ideas
I’m working on - as in, trying to make not suck - an essay about race that is somewhat built on responses to books by Eula Biss & Adrian Nicole LeBlanc, and I kinda really want to call it Three White Ladies Write About Race.

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.

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.

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?

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...
