Primary Source Library-Based Social Anxiety

From: Lindsay
To: Shaw, Stephanie, Andrew, Travis
Subject: Bookshelf Dysmorphic Disorder
People Who Were Over the Other Night:
I was just looking at my bookshelf because I was bored and noticed that it contains "The Rules" and "He's Just Not That Into You." I would like to explain for any who saw it during the "bookshelf analysis and judgment" portion of the evening that the reason I have those books is because I was writing a book proposal for a parody book a few years ago right after the latter came out, but then abandoned the project because that's what I do with projects.
Kelsey Grammer's autobiography, however, I own in earnest and have read three times.
xo,
Lindsay
ps: this isn't the first time people have come over or anything, I just never looked at my bookshelf in this light before.

FRIEND:  I love that even the NPR you get is racist.

Jesse Lange for (Junior Class) President!

* I have a huge crush on this 16 year old kid who stands up to Bill O'Reilly. Watch the whole thing. He's like a young Brad Pitt, with balls!! "Rising Junior", indeed!

* (There are) 100 Things Funny (about): The Washlet.  The parody possibilities are endless (and surely forthcoming on Youtube. Off the top: "A Washlet Named Hal".)

* Ritalin Readings is still tomorrow and is still going to be awesome. See below for details. Yay!

Quick!

Vote for my Gawker tshirt slogan before it disappears! (it is: (Full Disclosure: I Know Everyone)) Joke explanation: I hate the full disclosure name drop.

Yeah, this is what I'm caring about right this second.

Nick D'Agosto Joins the Cast of "Heroes"

10m_2The guy from Election and The Office continues his meteoric rise:

"The actor will play Claire's boyfriend, West, who is said to have "a very cool superpower."

I bet it's his face! I guess I have to start watching "Heroes." Also, everyone I know who has seen his movie "Rocket Science" (out 8/10) says it's really good.

It's Not the Wayback Machine, It's Time Out New York

This week (as part of what I just learned is an entire issue about hipsters), TONY presents a quiz: are you a hipster? OMG (but before OMG was said all the time)! It mentions Misshapes!! It's so deck! Here are some pitches for future quizzes:

* Are you a hippie or someone over 30 who doesn't smoke grass?
* Are you a flapper or whatever flappers called people who weren't flappers?
* Are you a slave owner, an abolitionist, a slave, a sharecropper, or other?
* Arst thou a witch?
* Do you have the plague or not?
* Do you walk erect?

If someone from Time Out is reading this, call me! There are like, so many other periods in history whose quiz-time has passed besides 2003!

separated at the gym

In this poster, Seth Rogan bears a striking resemblance to a certain blogger-columnist-pinup-cohost of Ritalin Readings (Tuesday!). Does he not? Look at those eyes! Okay, it's probably more of a real life thing because I can't find any photos of that particular look, but something after the jump.

Kittenpants sent me some sad news this morning. But I perked up when I found out about my chances with this guy.

Yes. We are in our thirties.

Worker's doin' it too!
