INFP- Why you want one: They’ll read you poetry and rub your back while you fall asleep, they have the most comfortable beds. Spoiler Alert: May suffocate you with intensity. May cry during a commercial for McDonald’s. Where to find one: Getting existential at some dive bar with a small but intense looking group of people who all look remotely like someone who used to...
The beaches here are really nice.
I need to keep telling myself that because everything else about living in this place fucking sucks.

Does everyone know that New York & Company has...
I feel like this is something everyone should be aware of. They look like proper office appropriate attire, but they’re stretchy from top to bottom. They are heaven and everyone should have some.
If you use code 6266 before Feb. 7, you can get 30% off and right now you can get 50% off a shirt with any pants purchase.
Go forth and shop, ladies.

One may come home soon, it is unknown.
However, with three people in one house, it is rare that any of us is ever in the house completely alone.
I think this calls for a dance party.

villagevoice:
I think I’m a “Fuck Me” kind of guy. Not as a command, obviously, but in a “I’m fucked, my life sucks,” sort of way, because it has an added bump of shock value when compared to your average swear. Plus, if said around the right people it easily devolves into a contest of Exorcist impressions, though her “fuck me” is different in meaning.
“Twat.” I watched seasons 1-3...

I beg your pardon?
I had to go to the website of a seafood restaurant in Myrtle Beach to clarify some information today. I was laughing hard enough when I found that one of their catchphrases was “You can’t live on wishes…but you CAN live on FISHES!!”
Then I saw this:
And now I’m practically hyperventilating.

I'm apparently just now getting hit with the whole...
More annoying than randomly unfollowing people for me, it’s refollowing a number of people that I recently decided to unfollow in a minor purge of mostly nonsensical/picture related things. It was a refreshing purge, one I felt good about, and now these things are showing up again and I’m so confused.

I am getting major side-eye
For not attending the CEO’s “State of the Company” address right now.
Our department is very tiny and has absolutely nothing to do with the rest of the company. I cannot bear to listen to a two hour lecture on things I don’t understand that don’t pertain to me. I am up to my fucking neck in paper, so pardon me if I’d rather get some work done so I don’t...

I guess I should get angry more often
During my rage this morning, I called up my boss and flat out ordered him to call the outsourcing people and demand a few particular things. He passed it off to someone else. I just talked to the someone else, and guess what? The outsourcing manager had been completely slacking and not looking at the right reports and he was aghast and embarrassed about what his people were doing.
He apologized...
I finally snapped at work today
I’m a pretty patient person. I like to think I’m rather understanding. My coworker says that I am a “Type Z” personality in contrast to her “Type A.” Throughout this whole enormous clusterfuck that my workplace has been for the past two and a half months, I think I have weathered it pretty well. I’ve been keeping my coworker generally calm-ish and...

Where there are two walls of magazines, packed in together so that only the beginnings of the titles show? There are a lot of magazines that start with a w. I eventually gave up and asked for help. It took the lady a while too, even having a computer at her disposal.
I don’t know if you’ve seen this month’s W cover, but it’s Rooney Mara in her getup for Girl With The Dragon Tattoo. Imagine buying...

Spring 2011 Couture: Dior
tallgirltales:
John Galliano presented a gorgeous collection reminiscent of 1940s & 1950s Hollywood, which was the intention as it was an homage to Dior illustrator, Renee Gruau (who created the design house’s iconic imagery from those years). Loved this…my favorite thus far.

I am fantastically in love with this dress. It satisfies my love of the coziness of extra long sleeves as...

So much for a good night's sleep
I’ve got to get off Tumbr. Even my bloody nightmares are about cats now.
This was a murderous cat. It was murdering people. Luckily, my brain didn’t let me see any bodies but there sure were a lot of pools of blood. Eventually I caught the mangy beast, black as night and with some sort of emo haircut, tufts of hair sticking up all over the place.
Then I called 911 to tell them that...

Paranormal Activity (2007)
onesecondmoviereviews:
Horror movies are typically satisfying because they fulfill our urge to be shocked and titillated while sitting on our asses. This movie was satisfying because it satisfies the urge to see the main character thrown across the room like a fucking rag doll.
HAHAHAHAHA.
Yes.

As if I wasn't murderous enough about this day...
My coworker is listening to some workout video (to get ideas for things to incorporate into the classes she teaches at the gym) and is getting a kick out of one terrible song in particular. I can’t hear the video, thank christ, but every three minutes or so, she busts out with a ‘LET ME SEE YOUR HIPS SWAY!” in some sort of demonic lower octave.
I’m torn between wanting to...

My phone updated it’s Droid operating system this morning. Luckily, I knew it was coming, due to some conversations with a techie about an app I downloaded last week. However. I don’t like it and I want my old one back. *foot stomp*

Mini-Movie Review Monday
Scott Pilgrim vs. The World - I don’t know anything about comic books and very little about gaming, so this wasn’t one I was in a huge rush to see, even though I figured I would enjoy it. Let me tell you, I laughed a lot. It’s really cute and clever, and it should get some sort of editing/special effects/sound awards. It probably won’t, but it should. Michael Cera is still...

Blast from the Past
I went out to dinner with some friends to this local pizza joint. The music could have been straight out of my college radio show circa 1998. It was surreal.
The Wallflowers’ “Sixth Avenue Heartache,” Guster, Mighty Mighty Bosstones, Stone Temple Pilots, Better than Ezra?!
A little “Elderly Woman Behind the Counter in a Small Town” action, just for good measure.

If only all working could be Saturday working
I’m not saying I like working on Saturdays, but if all the other days could be like the work experience I had today, it would be glorious.
Two other people were in the building. I wore whatever I liked. I brought my laptop and caught up on Season 2 of Party Down. The phone didn’t ring. Only one stray person stopped in to bother me. I got more done in 4 hours than I do in two regular...
