“Day 3 and 4: This diet is much harder on the weekends. This city is stupid...”
– this article on Gwyneth Paltrow’s new cookbook is far more entertaining than you imagine it will be.

Dear Guy Who Insisted I get on the Streetcar Ahead...
I get that you’re coming from a good place, here. “That’s the way I was raised”, you said, and I don’t think you meant anything bad by it. While I’m all for giving the infirm, or the pregnant, or the Carrying-A-Lot-Of-Stuff, or the Dealing-With-A-Small-Child priority in a lineup, I’m a perfectly healthy, Not-Carrying-Much-Of-Anything woman. And so what you...

Watching Every Jeff Goldblum Movie: Jurassic Park... →
This is clearly the greatest blog of all time. It is also the reason I watched Independence Day this afternoon, while cutting reproductions of a marriage license into Rorschach shapes with an xacto knife for an art installation (g-g-g-grad school!). Jurassic Park (1993) Total Goldblum Rating: 8/10 Jeff Goldblum is a rock star of a “chaotician” who knew this whole “resurrect giant carnivores”...

– This story about the Bounty replica going down in Sandy (and her strange journey to being out in the storm in the first place) is super intense!

kottke.org: The Postal Service to reunite →
jkottke: The musical duo, who only ever released the one album, will play Coachella and some other dates. But no new album. Yet. After years of inactivity, the group’s website now features a graphic that reads, “The Postal Service 2013.” As part of the reunion, Sub Pop is prepping a deluxe edition of “Give Up” next month to commemorate the album’s 10-year anniversary, Billboard has learned....

All the Books I Read in 2012
The Big List! Late as usual! Here is last year. And once again, I failed to hit 50 books. Perhaps 2013 will be better, given that I won’t be in school for most of it. Once again, I want to promise myself that I’ll keep notes while I’m reading, so I don’t have to recall it at the end of the year. But we ALL know how likely that is. Asterisk means a re-read.  2012 BY THE...

WatchWatch
unspentlove: I didn’t quite finish this animation because I ran out of paste and time. But I am happy with the new experiment of adding white paper in some of the frames to imply movement and erasure. This time around I also dramatically increased the number of frames, so the motion is more fluid. The wall also has a very appealing dimensionality to it now, feeling and looking like a fungal...

All the films I watched in 2012
It’s time for the annual Movie List!! This is every film I watched in 2012 (plus, for the first time,  TV series at the end!). Asterisk means a rewatch, and the number in parentheses is the release date. Here is last year’s list, for the sake of comparison. 01 - Bring It On (00)- spending the day watching (more or less) bad movies is a New Year’s Day tradition! The best part of...
