alexbaca asked: Do you ever hold your camera and feel nothing? It's been like that for me for the past few years which is, well, stupid, but it's like I don't care about taking pictures right now, except "right now" has become an extended period. (I hate it.)

juliannadamer replied to your photoset: I always deliver the photos and then forget to… I’m glad you shared your photos. It’s always interesting to see what the other photographers are seeing. Also, I was very surprised by the way this worked. I’ve never been to a photo call like this where they only play a few scenes.
The partial scenes at the media call feel like a carry-over from when...

WatchEarlier today I thought it’d be nice to have a reminder to get hot chocolate before a meeting in February. Isn’t this the year 2000? Why not just have Frank (our robot assistant) remind me when it actually matters? That’s why he’s the assistant, and a damn good one, because he gets smarter every day.
Also new, along with Salt-N-Pepa’s “Push It,” we can...

Speaking of that Veruca Salt SNL performance, here it is. Holy shit, right? I know. Seeing this is what made me fall in love with Louise Post.
Not that anyone’s comparing, but Louise over Nina forever. Oh, hold on a sec. My phone’s ringing.
Voice: Hello Doug? Me: This is. Hello. Voice: You know that thing you had in junior high for Veruca Salt, Liz Phair, and...

maxistentialist replied to your photo: Everyone, I want you to meet my new Swedish girlfriend… OH MAN
I KNOW. I live the weirdest little fantastic life, but since I’m probably not seeing anyone for at least a couple more months I can treat myself far too well for my own damn good.

Can Rob Harvilla review all of the albums?

Sunday
Coming up today on this station: I choose to reheat soup (for breakfast!), I clear through six long email and write a penpal back, and then fill the rest of the morning up with reading and watching In Time, which will likely be unintentionally amusing.
Later, I have library books to drop off and then will be at the Old Ugly Tip of the Iceberg show in Churchill Square from about 3PM onward....
Ukes for Friends →
Sometimes life gives you lemons, sometimes it gives you a pal who is a NASA/Google programmer and will make you a custom ukulele out of a cigar box.
I’ve said it before, friends. Let me know what your dream is, no matter what it is, and I will help it along. These sort of projects bring me so much joy.

I wonder if people will ever grow tired of paying money to watch one stranger pretend to seduce another (film)
My hands move over a keyboard like some idiot wizard casting spells to produce nothing but vague notions of “this is alright, right?” and shrugs.
Time to go back to reading about Edwardian architecture. See you in the morning, Tumblr.

"If you don't know what to say, say hi."
Anyone who pre-ordered the new Xiu Xiu album, Always, got their download today. As with the last few albums, the production quality feels like it’s risen yet again.
Also, JS and co are now in Tumblr.

“Relatively Prime will be an 8 episode audio podcast featuring stories from the world of mathematics. Tackling questions like: is it true that you are only 7 seven handshakes from the President, what exactly is a micromort, and how did 39 people commenting on a blog manage to prove a deep theorem.”
Tonight I listened to and gave feedback on what I believe to be the first episode...

WatchPushing code to the public at work has its own ceremony. Multiple times a day.
In this video we discuss changing keys in analog samples and I’m totally right about Spinderella not aging.
