Oh, you know...
Just researching job opportunities and academic programs in ALL THESE CITIES (and sometimes countries!) I DON’T LIVE IN. My for real DREAM JOB (the other dream job, the one that is not Stephen Malkmus’ personal assistant or young adult serial fiction ghost writer) is open in NYC but it’s only part time. My DREAM ACADEMIC PROGRAM turns out to be a real course of study and is...
UGH
My phone is ringing WAY TOO MUCH today and it’s only 11 and it won’t be time to go home for SIX MORE HOURS and I am having a lot of “AT THE END OF MY ROPE” type feelings because AUGH I JUST NEED A NEW LIFE, CAN ONE OF YOU PLEASE GIVE ME A NEW LIFE??? I can make decent potato enchiladas and I know all the words to the Party of Five Theme and I am a really good listener when...

“Lana Del Rey wants to tell you what she’s wearing. Sometimes, as on her...”
– Lana Del Rey’s Regressive, Beautiful, Twisted Fantasy - Spencer Kornhaber - Entertainment - The Atlantic
This is more important than the author realises, and not in the way that he thinks.

This is probably a good time for me to say that one of the best Lana “talking about...

[The context: Drew is watching Night Gallery and playing the guitar and I have headphones on and am watching Downton Abbey. Because he can’t stand to see me enjoying myself, he keeps periodically fucking with my laptop by smashing random keys in the hopes of pausing, fast forwarding, or rewinding the video.]

I’m home sick from work watching Downton Abbey and I swear to god that I will crawl inside the TV and strangle Lady Sybil if she doesn’t run away with that handsome Irish chauffeur. That is a SOLEMN PROMISE.

“…as far as we understand the harshest criticism of Del Rey, it’s not that she’s “wanting and taking like a man,” it’s that she’s “wanting and taking” just like a stereotypical, anti-feminist conception of a woman: That is, she isn’t wanting at all; she’s existing only as an object of desire, completely in thrall to the male gaze.”

The Best and Most Inspiring example of Taco Bell as a feminist act is CLEARLY bluebeadsandbones HURLING a Baja Blast into some Ohio State Bro Dude’s face when we hit up Taco Bell post-Weezer cover band show. It was the most feminist night of my life and was documented in my LiveJournal as follows:

Two day pass BLACK TAMBOURINE’s first show in 21 years. Happy Birthday to me.
Just got black tambourine day. I can’t leave my cat for so long and I can’t stomach the thought of driving to arlington from bmore two days in row…even though I’d love to see honeybunch.
I would love to go to this, but don’t know if I can make two indie pop trips in one...

Everything is still pretty crummy, but…
I got a ton of work done today and for once my three desks (they are arranged around me in a u-shape) look very clean/manageable, meaning they’ll seem WAY LESS intimidating when I come back to work on Monday.
Because it is Friday, when I leave work at 5pm, “Born to Run” will be playing on the radio. This is one of my favorite...

“Rap Songs About YOU [ME]”
To be fair, I am theoretically very interested in rap songs about me, but I do not think that those are really a thing yet.
Dear Tumblr,
What songs do you listen to when you are in a terrible mood and want to feel better? (I have a long list of songs for when I am in a terrible mood and just want to wallow, but today is not that kind of day.) Right now I kind of just want to get through today and hope that tomorrow will be better.
Thanks in advance,
K

God, I’m not even a Juggalo. But this is alienating. I get that fuckin’ magnets is funny! That’s universal, that’s sacred. Jokes about fuckin’ magnets are not offensive to me.
But . I am not a Juggalo, but that is very real to me. It makes me feel like I’m in a fishbowl. Because the jokes that you make at Juggalos’ expense (other than, you know, Magnets) are really jokes about the ...

This is an… interesting satire that I had to doublecheck my Sarcasm Meter to see if it was working properly.
“Bitchiness is a known issue with many women.” It’s the hard-hitting truth!
And so the Lana Del Rey-bashing economy moves faster than the actual Lana Del Rey economy, a reminder of how free people feel to clobber someone, especially a young woman, for the crime of art. Not always artful art, but that matters less than the elevation of the mundane into something worth exploding. Ms. Del Rey generates so much anger precisely because she does so little. People don’t know...
