#79: She's obsessed with pink...

100redflags: We’re not telling you to ditch your favorite pink sweatshirt or even give up on frosting your birthday cake in coral. Pink is a perfectly fine color in moderation. But when you pull out your fuchsia JUICY COUTURE sweatpants and matching Victoria’s Secret PINK tote, don’t be surprised if we go running for the hills. Maybe your pink obsession came at a young age when Mom...

The Frenemy.: City Love →

thefrenemy: When you move to a city, you become meaner. You are harder. Less optimistic. Tough. Do not make eye contact with anybody in the subway. Read the book you’re kind of halfway through, listen to the terrible music you hope you’re not playing loud enough to hear. Pretend you’re the kind of…

Why I Should Not Recycle Pizza Boxes, and More... →

This is really great info. I had no idea you couldn’t recycle things with a bit of food left on them. worldli: I have always recycled pizza boxes - better to recycle more than less, right? Wrong. Food contamination ruins millions and millions of dollars of recycled paper every year. Other culprits: adhesives - that includes Post-Its. I had never considered that recycling my sticky...

How Does Everyone Spend Their Day? →

This is a really interesting and interactive graph that shows a breakdown of how people spend their day. I didn’t think anything was particularly shocking but it’s worth playing around with for a moment.

Mm-hmm, so getting a job will kill me, huh?

Apparently every hour that you sit in front of a computer (or TV), your chances for heart disease increase by 18% - EVEN if you aren’t overweight or out of shape. Your chance for cancer also increases by 8%. This is totally the Australian’s way of telling me that I shouldn’t get a job. Instead, I should just move to Australia, surf all day and eat good food. Sounds like a decent...

Looking for a 2010 Reading List?

Well you won’t find it in Miranda July’s reading short, recently published in Vice. However, this is a perfect example of a writer with a developed voice who consistently stays in character (or in reality?) Although a legitimate nut, Miranda July is a source of inspiration for me while I’m working on developing a succinct written voice. Check out her other works: No One Belongs...

Meaning of ♥

nettap: today needs a good love post. What does ‘love’ mean? A group of professional people posed this question to a group of 4 to 8 year-olds: ‘What does ‘love’ mean?’ The answers they got were broader and deeper than anyone could have imagined. See what you think: ‘When my grandmother got arthritis, she couldn’t bend over and paint her toenails anymore. Rebecca - age 8 ‘When someone loves...

Seeking Employment

Sorry I’ve been quiet lately. I’ve been working my way across the other side of the world and my internet connection has been limited, to say the least. Headed back to the land of opportunity in the next week and I need a job! Currently looking for employment where the coffee flows like rain and the rain…well, nevermind. SEATTLE!

Really Long Article I Wrote on Social Networking

Social networking is all the rage. Unless you haven’t walked outside, turned on your TV or been visited by anyone in the past year, I’m not telling you something you don’t already know. Social networking and the act of broadcasting your life – or lifestreaming – to the larger online arena is nothing new, but it is gaining massive momentum and doesn’t show any signs of slowing down. However, as we...
