    Congratulations!
    I look forward to the end of slush and ice and ice-mud so I can trundle the ol' two-wheeler out of the basement.

    Today I love
    my dog
    my coffee
    that I am just randomly submitting old seminar papers to journals without editing them
    spring being in the air

    my mom, thinking about living in my new place, friends and frienemies, and my jazz history instructor's study guide.

    also David Caruso

    Nick - WHAT PLACE?
  • swamp_knobbler_mahanswamp_knobbler_mahan
    Today I love:
    Punk rock (esp. Minor Threat and the Descendents)
    Old Built to Spill
    Courier Coffee

    Today I dislike:
    Tediously selecting/cutting out portraits of people in Photoshop
  • DeathDeath
    ^Word on that dislike.
    for me it is tediously making detailed vector traces of photos

    FUGAZI!
    Day of rock.

    I love giving thumbs up/thumbs down.


    I love putting on your own rabbit hat.


    and feeling very thankful for lemons.

    I love planting seeds! Being very methodical in the beginning- strictly following the rules on the packet- then just tossing the last few down like totally whatever.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    lucky you! here the ground is still a frozen mucky mess. not that i have any seeds to plant or anywhere to plant them.

    I'm currently "planting" the "seeds" of my new article by reading all this crazy film theory. Reading film theory is funny because you're like "THAT'S NOT WHAT THAT SCENE IN CITIZEN KANE IS ABOUT!!!!!!"

    I just read a review of the film I'm writing about in which I feel the author gets every single thing wrong.

    SUBJECTIVITY IN PERCEPTION OF THE ARTS

    IS WHAT I LOVE TODAY

    ALSO SNOOPY WHO IS BEING A DILLWEED

    Yeah, that is Tracey Emin's famous tent.

  • swamp_knobbler_mahanswamp_knobbler_mahan
    Today I still love coffee.
    And I'm getting really deep into Grandaddy.
    Seriously, such a good band. Such a band of the late 90s/early 00s. Plus they were skateboarders. "Skateboarding saves me twice."
  • UncleBoatShoes2011UncleBoatShoes2011
    Alex,
    Are you Tracey Emin?

    I loved that piece you made with your bed and the condoms and stuff.

    ALSO, GREAT NEON WORK!

  • DeathDeath
    Today I love being done with this quarter of school.

    also the two episodes of Radiolab I listened to at work
    "Sperm" and "Zoo"

    SRSLY THIS STORY IS SO INSPIRING AND AWESOME
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    that is so amazing. I cried
  • ed_chigliaked_chigliak
    today I love Dear Sugar, on The Rumpus. I followed someone's random fb link and got sucked into reading all of the entries, I am in awe of Sugar's life and how she got to where she is and how she approaches things. Here is a good example:
    http://therumpus.net/2010/07/dear-sugar-the-rumpus-advice-column-44-how-you-get-unstuck/

    also alas damascus gay girl had to go into hiding, and her dad left syria. still an amazing story though.
  • DeathDeath
    My mom.
    I love her all the other days too.
    Last week I got sick and she surprise rush shipped me vitamins, coughdrops, and tea.
    She's the best.
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    lets hear it for moms! My mom is amazing also.

    Today in addition to my rad mom, I love:
    - espresso over ice: it's finally iced espresso weather!
    - my regular bout of insomnia has, for now, passed
    - trying to make my dog swim in a pond

    gay girl in damascus has been written by a 40 year old American man living in Scotland!?!

    Things that make you go hmm

    Could "Urban Honking" be fake too???
    Who is "Steave Shrader" anyways?????????????
  • MirandaJulyMirandaJuly
    I want to know shay shay's reaction to the damascus thing, since she introduced me (and others here, I bet) to the blog.
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    Maybe G.G. is still somehow real... like Scout Finch.
  • ed_chigliaked_chigliak
    It was a big bummer, actually. I only read that entry I posted here, and thought it was so amazing and inspiring, but alas it's a white dude from wisconsin fighting "neo-orientalism" (which btw dude, prolly Edward Said would like to have some words with you). I am a gullible person! Now I def suspect "Gary", also "Stumptown Coffee", and that arduino hack for my new smartphone that Sarah McD gave me was pretty sketchy too, come to think of it....
  • MatthewMatthew
    Such a bummer.
  • MatthewMatthew
    It is all Gary's fault.
  • MatthewMatthew
    Ban his pod.
  • ed_chigliaked_chigliak
    In other news, today I love my mom, my boyfriend, the city of Portland, my friends, coffee, the internet, and most especially all of those people out there (like you!) who are trying to live authentic lives of meaning and grace.

    Life is short people, and there's nothing like hearing that an sweet awesome kid you've watched grow up, just died tragically, a few hours before his high school graduation, to really make that fact sink in.

    I've been in the woods for a week so pardon me for not knowing this already ZA, but what job did you get?! That is awesome!! I am very happy for you and can't wait to learn about it!
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    a one-semester job teaching a core freshman western civ-type class at our alma mater!
    SO COOL FOR ME
  • Cherry_PieCherry_Pie
    I KNOW JUST THE CLASS YOU MEAN!!
    SO COOL FOR YOU!!!!
    Congratulations!!
  • YoursTrulyYoursTruly
    it's different (better) than when we took it, though. Remember how weird that class was? Like "what is this class, even?" Now it's just, like, The Bible and Sigmund Freud. "WESTERN THOUGHT."

    I'm excited! Also scared--I'VE NEVER READ THE BIBLE
  • Loose_ThreadLoose_Thread
    I heard that everyone who reads that book dies mysteriously, and burdened to spread the curse throughout man kind
