Learning some new songs on the guitar...
I like to play along with existing songs and record the outcome. It’s nice when I get a few notes/timing correct. It’s all too rare. On that note, who the fuck decided bar chords should exist? Fuck them. Seriously.
Now I'm involved
Chris (yelling up the stairs): MARISA, where is the other Magic Bullet Blade?
Marisa: What are you making?!
Chris: Tuna
Marisa: Can't you just fucking stir it? It's tuna!
Chris: No! I have to do this!
Marisa: You've been stirring tuna for the past 20 years and suddenly you need a machine?
I got a Magic Bullet Blender for XMas and now my...
Chris (My brother): Whatever! Now we have a blender we can use.
Mom: We already have a blender!
Chris: Yeah, but that one is huge and this one is magic.
Q: Why couldn't the skeleton climb the Agrocrag?
A: He had no GUTS!

Wishlist
A full two days before Christmas on a tumblr no one reads, here is my wishlist. I Like You: Hospitality Under the Influence by Amy Sedaris Cash by Johnny Cash Kitchen Confidential: Adventures in the Culinary Underbelly by Anthony Bourdain Schulz and Peanuts: A Biography by David Michaelis A Heartbreaking Work Of Staggering Genius by Dave Eggers Sense a theme? I’m not typically a big reader...
You think Jamie Lynn Spears has seen the movie...
Jennifer Garner: Your parents are probably wondering where you are.
Girl who plays Juno: Um ... nah. I mean, I'm already pregnant, so what other kind of shenanigans could I get into?
I can't wait to see Juno. I wish my friends had no family like me so we could go to Amherst Cinema on Christmas. Oh well, I can wait.
And to answer Julia Allison's question; paparazzi caught Jamie Lynn and Mom going to see Juno on the day news of her pregnancy came out. I'm slightly ashamed that I know that...
This song will melt your heart in under two...
Tell My Friends to Stop Getting Into College
I’m really envious as I’m only a junior. I’m really happy for them but wtf I want to go to college!!! And that, is my whine for the day.
Christmas is a secular holiday
I’m sick of religious media commentators being up in arms about the perceived secularization of Christmas. I agree that materialism is out of control in our culture, but humans all over the world have been celebrating the winter solstice time since long before Jesus. Roland Martin recently said, “we should continue to remember that Jesus is the reason for the season.” Well,...
asking an expert about love

Happy Birthday, Lip Dubbing
One year ago, today, I uploaded the first lip dubbing video and also coined the term. This has been, by far, the most successful meme I have created. The idea came to me when walking through Manhattan while listening to my iPod. When you’re walking while listening to music, something weird happens: your reality shifts drastically from everyone else’s. If the song is uplifting, you...
Someone please keep the internet away from my...
Lishai has suddenly embraced Facebook’s option to send messages to multiple people at once which makes everyone’s reply viewable to all. She’s sent out two messages so far and they’ve exploded. We went from dressing nice for Nyima’s b-day to wearing nice underwear to an underwear battle with the boys to free underwear coupons from AE to everyone trying to find rides...
Speechwriters LLC are back in the game
happy holidays! we’re writing you today because we have a new EP available for download, and it’s free. about a month and a half ago, our myspace account got deleted. like, completely wiped off the face of the internet, and we’re still not sure why. our online operations ground to a screeching halt, as we realized we no longer had any way of letting the friends we’d made on myspace know...
I appreciate this
Lishai: one excellent quality about you
Lishai: is that you are honest
Lishai: keep it
As someone who doesn't usually partake in drama...
I kind of like when I get to throw on the ‘bitch’ hat. It’s invigorating.
I almost hate going to concerts
They mostly just remind me that I gave up my dreams and that I had very good reason to.
