She & Him // Please Please Please Let Me Get What I Want (The Smiths cover)

The Stupak Amendment passed.

Sun, 08 Nov 2009 02:49:00 -0500

I don’t even have words to describe what I am feeling. This is a waking nightmare.

It takes 100% of the excitement away from the House passing the health care bill.

100%.

Fuck.

(This means no more federal funding for abortion. This has huge ramifications. I’ll report back when I find out what it means for Planned Parenthood’s very existence.)

My teacher sounds exactly like Ellen degeneres.

I only know this because I’m so tired that I keep closing my eyes and just listening.

EMERGENCY: Representative Bart Stupak has just introduced an amendment to the health care reform bill that will eliminate coverage for women's health. I just called my representative and you should too. Call 202-703-9001 to ask him or her to reject the amendment!

I’d seen this kicking around but hadn’t watched until now, I have no idea why. This is fantastic. The world is a better place because Christopher Walken is in it.

Gettin’ Rid of Britta
by Some Worries

Some total genius put the full 2-minute “Gettin’ Rid of Britta” song from last night’s Community online. By Vaughn’s band, “Some Worries.” It’s rad. Take it Pierce!

This song is awesome. I JUST watched this episode.

I’m gonna need a Joel/Britta kiss pretty soon. Not necessarily relationship, just a kiss.

Also, to download this song.

Also, MORE TROY AND AHBED TIME, this week made me a little sad because of the absence.

Chart of the Day: “Explicit Support for Same-Sex Marriage by State and Age” (pdf) by Jeff Lax and Justin Phillips of the Department of Political Science at Columbia University. Created using data collected for a joint paper on gay rights.

Prof. Lax breaks it down:

Seven states cross the 50% mark overall as of our current estimates, but the generation gap is huge. If policy were set by state-by-state majorities of those 65 or older, none would allow same-sex marriage. If policy were set by those under 30, only 12 states would not allow-same-sex marriage.

Berkeley Girl by Harper Simon

She is juniper and roses, she is amethyst and pearl. And though she makes her home in Hollywood, she’s really just a Berkeley girl…. And she drives a Karmann Ghia through the streets of Silver Lake and the hills of Echo Park.

—
If you think this track has a strong “The Sound of Silence” feel… it’s because Harper is the son of Paul Simon.

I like this.

I like anything Paul Simon/Simon and Garfunkel like.

nedhepburn:

this is what its like to be a freelance writer for a living. goddamit. I WANT STABILITY. A GIRL THAT CAN COOK AND A BULLDOG THAT CAN SKATEBOARD.

right now, i can see why people become monks or just have their brains pop like forks in the microwave and spend the rest of their lives collecting scrap metal. i can totally see how someone could do that. or enjoy CSI. or call Olive Garden a “restaurant”.

seriously, i crave normality. i want it to course through my veins like the first hit of a really good drug. i want to shop at malls, wear sweatpants when i’m “not feeling it”, and only read books they sell at airports. i want to eat salad that is served out of a wooden bowl. i want to learn how to play Bob Marley songs on the guitar just so i can misconstrue them later. but no. while THE ENTIRE REST OF THE WORLD (literally, EVERY SINGLE OTHER PERSON ON THE PLANET) enjoys their desk jobs i’m turning into a ‘Guy At The Bus Stop With Things On His Mind (That He Wants You To Know)’, tearing my goddam hair out trying to shop articles around. guh.

everybody is a whore and we are all dogs with money. until then i’ll be here. god fucking dammit.

Oh, so this is what it looks like when the people you admire break down. When being amazing and living life interestingly and with passion gets exhausting.

mikeypizzle:

So I watched this for the first time last night and really enjoyed it. I’m a little upset that i wasn’t more into Firefly when it was on but now i get to go back and watch the entire series in a row.

The movie did evoke one major thought/emotion…It made me realize that i won’t live long enough to for space technology to become advanced enough where i can become a badass space smuggler/mercenary…I will never get to live out my Han Solo fantasy….this make me sad.

GUHHH.

Mikey, if you need a firefly-thon buddy, I’m SO in.

keily:

1. Pretend you’ve never met, then loudly try out lame pickup lines in a swanky bar. Act like they worked.
2. Go on a walking journey and every fifteen feet draw a chalk arrow in the direction you’re going. At the end of the trip, leave a big pile of chalk.
3. Create photo evidence suggesting that you went on an adventure that didn’t really happen
4. Go for a drive. You can only make right-hand turns. When you finally get stuck, turn around and then you can only make left-hand turns. Repeat until you find something interesting. Take pictures along the way!
5. Build forts out of furniture and blankets, and wage war with paper airplanes.
6. Go to a major chain bookstore, and leave notes to future readers in copies of your favorite books
7. Write a piece of fiction together. Outside at a cafe. Ask strangers when you get stuck.
8. Try and visit as many people as you can in one night, and turn as many things inside their apartment upside down as you can, without them noticing.
9. Do the lamest tourist thing in your area that you have both secretly wanted to do forever. Have an unabashed good time!
10. Hide and seek in the park
11. Go around the city with sidewalk chalk and draw hearts with equations inside on random things
12. Drive somewhere unknown and have dinner in a city you’ve never been to. With fake names.
13. Go for a drive with the passenger blindfolded, choosing directions at random. see where you end up
14. Dress up as pirates, commandeer shopping carts, and have a war upon the high seas.. er, parking lot.
15. Go on a search for as many good climbing trees as possible, climb as high as you both can in all of them, compile photo evidence
16. Rent a movie you’ve never seen before. Set on mute and improvise dialogue.
17. Dress up as pirates and go parrot shopping at local pet stores
18. Go to the airport, get the cheapest, soonest departing flight to anywhere when you show up, and stay there for a weekend.
19. Walk around a city and perform short silent plays in front of security cameras
20. In the middle of the night, drive to the beach, so you arrive just as the sun is rising. Have a breakfast picnic, then fall asleep together. Bring a sun umbrella.
21. Dress up as superheros and stop at least one petty crime “ie. jaywalking, littering….”
22. Go to a minor league baseball game under the stars. Tell each other stories about how bad you are at athletics. Randomly cheer for both teams. Eat lots of Cracker Jack.
23. With camera and pair of boots, make photolog of a day in the life of the invisible man.
24. Walk around the city all night and find a place to eat breakfast at dawn
25. Go to a restaurant and convince the cook to create something completely new for you.

This is a knockoff of a Zooey Deschanel movie waiting to happen.

But okay some of them are cute.

I just saw my ad on TV!

It was on Antiques Roadshow UK.

I have to get out of this business.

PS - don’t mock my tv choices. Sick days = bad daytime tv.
