“Changed My Mind” by e-dubble
Impressive rapper who has been releasing a lot of memorable freestyle tracks. First track on iTunes, worth buying. (Clearly I do not have the cachet to review his music, check out Pigeons and Planes for more.)
So a lot of (the relatively minor) traffic on this site comes from an Amazon robot photo. Haha WHY?
In any case, welcome. I’m not made out of cardboard boxes, sorry to disappoint. But if you like robots then I think we’ll be friends.
This is not cool. I have barely been here 24 hours and I am on the verge of being sick. Is it the weather? Am I allergic to you? Are you saying you want me to go back to smog-filled Los Angeles, where it’s sunny all day every day? Because I will, if you’re trying to punish me. It’s my second home, it will replace you in my heart. So stop it. Last two times I’ve been home, got sick within the same day. Seriously?!
P.S. No but really I love you, I can’t replace you. Please let me get better. Wah.
What a really interesting and worthwhile way to engage readers. I really like this idea, it seems like a great way to get fascinating stories and widen the paper’s presence in Tumblr circles. We need to do more cool things like this.
From crashingnightingale:
I was at the dentist on 9/11. The office ladies had the radio on as we were paying and that’s where we heard about the planes crashing. Then we got home and my parents turned on the news and I remember sitting there in front of the TV as the first tower fell on live…
Cabaret was one of the best experiences this weekend. Possibly even better than the first time around, because I know a bunch of amazingly wonderful O-staff kids and seeing them do their thing on stage made my night. Plus, I got to show K what orientation is all about, and we were in tears laughing the entire time. It’s things like this that make me incredibly grateful for the school I go to, for the unbelievable people who keep it running and breathe life into it, for the privilege of four years here. I am so excited for these new freshman babies (although that means also accepting the fact that my time is halfway done) and this makes me a lot more ready and pumped for my year.

I’m kind of disgusted with myself right now. If I saw me, I’d say
“What the hell. You’re still not over that dumb shit? Move on, it’s done and there are way more important things that should be occupying your time and brainspace. It’s fucking done with so stop making it a big deal. Goddamn it.”
