I want to find the people that write this horrible slop. And I want to cut them. Deep.

I know this is a shitty article and I would fucking hate to write it, but…

I can’t help but be jealous that they have a writing job at all.

God, I’m such a J-school loser.

After You’ve Gone - Fiona Apple
originally by Marion Harris, 1918
(posted by sometimesagreatnotion)

Any time Fiona tackles an old song, you should pay attention - she usually knocks them out of the park. I don’t think it’s wrong to say that she would have been a HUGE star back in the early days of the 20th century.

It pisses me off that she doesn’t put more of her work out there.

I was just talking about the genius of Fiona Apple today, before running into this wonderful clip. I really wish she’d come out with more songs.

I’ve always had the traveling bug, always wanting to go somewhere exciting and different and experience new things.

But this Thanksgiving, I’m here in LA, just trying to wrap up my last two weeks of school. And I’ve never felt a feeling this strong, but I want to go home. To be with family and friends, to relax and smile, hang out and play games or have some beers.

And how do I say this without feeling too sorry for myself or too emo for my blog?

oh, fuck it: I miss you.

Happy Thanksgiving.

Night Walk

Adam Haslett:

“The expectancy was exquisite. Sheltering the tip with his right hand, he lit it with his left. First came the heat on the lips and then the warmth in the mouth and then his lungs slowly filling. A deep, full breath. Instantly, the calm rose up through the back of his neck, spreading like a flood of perfectly cool water across the surface of his overheated brain. He was in it now—that longed-for gap in time, that merciful pause.

The girls were asleep. The phones were quiet. The media had gone home.

Exhaling was a meditation unto itself.

The speed at which he moved from one performance or task to the next had grown vertiginous. Which, strangely, made the pleasure of executing each one all the keener. Not only to reply by hand to a few of the public’s letters each night, but knowing precisely how to communicate his sincerity through the dark eye of the camera as he explained for the White House website what reading the letters meant to him—there was a pleasure in the exactitude of all this. The strain of it and the pleasure twinned.

A cigarette suspended all that. And for a moment, even here amid the splendor and consequence, it joined him back to the counterlives: the kid who didn’t care about his grades; the freshman listening to the young leftists quote Nietzsche and Foucault; the short-story writer alone in his room after a day miming faith in progress (kneel and you shall pray), believing for a few evening hours that a well-wrought sentence might set people free. Before the organizing principle of Michelle. Before the sorting power of a more concrete ambition. Taking him briefly back to the comforts of the slacker and the cynic. That dark, scattered home promising its own kind of safety.”

“But whenever I meet dynamic, nonretarded Americans, I notice that they all seem to share a single unifying characteristic: the inability to experience the kind of mind-blowing, transcendent romantic relationship they perceive to be a normal part of living. And someone needs to take the fall for this. So instead of blaming no one for this (which is kind of cowardly) or blaming everyone (which is kind of meaningless), I’m going to blame John Cusack.”

"Different Names For The Same Thing"

Fri, 13 Nov 2009 23:44:18 -0800

Alone on a train aimless in wonder/
An outdated map crumbled in my pocket/
But I didn’t care where I was going/
‘Cause they’re all different names for the same place.

The coast disappeared when the sea drowned the sun/
And I knew no words to share with anyone/
The boundaries of language I quietly cursed/
And all the different names for the same thing.

There are different names for the same things
There are different names for the same things…

J-School: one of the few places where you can academically argue over the definition of "bukkake"

Wed, 11 Nov 2009 22:52:40 -0800

Me: I read that line in his paper and laughed because he had to define what the word "bukkake" was. I wanted to argue that his definition was wrong, but I didn't feel like correcting him in front of our professor.
Her: What did he write?
Me: He said that bukkake was when a man cums all over a woman's face. I thought it was when a group of men cum on a woman's face. Kinda like a "train."
Her: Well, it doesn't have to just be her face.
Me: True. Okay, so the defining factors are that, 1: it has to be more than one dude. And, 2: it's anywhere on the body. Good to know.

“For generations, kids couldn’t wait until they reached adulthood so they could smoke, drink, eat four-course meals, make money, drive cars, have sex, and, if they were the type to join the military, legally kill other human beings. Now we would rather log on and tune out, preferably in the womb-like comfort of a Snuggie, which is the perfect thing to wear as we gaze at photos of kittens while gnawing on delicious cupcakes.”

Penis sizes

You show me the woman who enjoys the eleven-inch penis, and I’ll show you … actually just show me the woman who enjoys the eleven-inch penis.

Presented without comment.. because I can’t choose just one smart-assed remark.

I can. Who enjoys the business end of a Louisville Slugger? (That would be the far upper-right “D”.)

Snark aside, there’s no getting around those dimensions. 7 and a half inches diameter is fine, but nearly a foot of pipe for length? I’ve known some tall women, but fuck, the cervix has to go somewhere. I know it’s highly elastic and made to dilate during childbirth, but what do you do with all that real estate during peacetime?

“Childbearing hips”, sure, but that length arrow extends, implying a Carlsbad Cavern of a vadge. if you’re the bachelorette who shades in the upper-right D on the questionnaire, I’m guessing there aren’t a whole lot of guys in the gene pool who can make you happy.

Imagine having to choose a mate on the sole basis of their genital size. It must suck.

Well, I was imagining snark along the lines of, if you’re the type to enjoy a peen of the larger extremities of this chart, would it be a hotdog down the hallway kind of hookup or…? But is there really someone out there with an 11-incher and 9” circumference? Are these figures from Penthouse readers? Or am I just not watching the right type of porn?

And now, Generic1, you have made me (voluntarily) post a penis chart twice on my blog. Congrats.
