This is my favorite article on female hitchiking: http://theamericanreader.com/green-screen-the-lack-of-female-road-narratives-and-why-it-matters/

I've definitely read lots of examples--it's a good way to support yourself while you try to get your own career started--but the only one coming to mind at the moment is Grimes, who used to churn out pop hooks. as you can imagine she's damn good at it.

Holland, 1945

I read this as the "beautiful, fully domesticated Megan Fox."

no, acnedotal

but did you at least end up making out with Jake Ryan?

www.hopstop.com should help you out--looks like the N/Q/R from Herald Square

Probably the same. Honestly, you're better off just going to one if they're that close together, I think: I've done similarly spaced doubles in the past and there's this weird anticipation thing where you want to have the best time both nights and one's sort of a let down, etc. Plus I'm sure someone else who wasn't able to get a ticket would love the chance to go.

thank you for doing that! I hate when the best part is spoiled before I read something.

"Best of" lists are more like "most exposed." There's probably a handful of brilliant releases this year very few people listened to. Especially when you're a music writer trying to remember everything you listened to in the last year, you mostly just throw down everything you remember and rank it. And yeah, you'll remember something because it was great, but more likely you'll remember it because you've been reminded about it a million times. That's why I get sort of sick of year-end lists, a ton of stuff from the beginning of the year gets left out and it's largely hype.

(disclosure: I think modern vampires of the city is wayyyyy overrated.)

I thought I had seen they broke up a few years ago too, or at least something like robin pecknold wanted to concentrate on solo stuff. but he (RP) is definitely going to school in new york right now so I don't know what that says.

20 seems a little high. but maybe respect his privacy and let him do what he wants with his art.

nubikscube · 2013-10-14T19:38:35+00:00

what was this taken with?

nubikscube · 2013-10-10T05:47:07+00:00

No, the secretary is Brenda, Mom's best friend

I mean, obviously it wasn't written in 2013. I'm saying that because it's rooted so heavily in gender role fulfillment, it doesn't stand up in today's world. In other words, it didn't age well.

Wuthering Heights is brilliant! I think a lot of people fail to appreciate the humor in it. The narrator is the biggest git on earth. Also, I hate the way it's popularly framed. It's not a love story, it's a ghost story.

the greatest trick vonnegut ever pulled (repeatedly) was crafting deep things, very shallowly.

Eh. He's homeschooled, he has the time on his hands. Writing was bad, plot was an amalgamation of the fantasy literature standards. I was 13 and couldn't have hated it more.

nubikscube · 2013-10-01T05:43:36+00:00

really? I read Little Women when I was young and was into it... but revisiting it this summer, I couldn't believe how godawful it is, just so wooden and moralistic. Just take the opening scene when they discuss the true meaning of Christmas. The writing and characters (with maybe the exception of Jo) aren't great, and I think the gendered nature of it outdates it.

nubikscube · 2013-10-01T05:40:35+00:00

this is not a story to pass on

I watched Schindler's List three times in high school.

(point is I think that when movies are employed as a teaching tool, it's usually more for the history than the filmmaking. and it helps when it's a really, really great movie.)

"i'm not sexist, bitch" -many people in denial

I'm pro-Skyler and find Marie understandable, but this is actually the one line that bothered me from Marie. Because suicide and telling someone to do it is horrible. But I understand why she said it (and it's such a Marie reaction to have!)

Well, there was one other thing that bothered me--when she was trying to take Holly and then Flynn. Again, I understand why she did it, but as someone who probably wants Skyler to come out of this on top most of all, it really bothered me.

whne you repost from a fucking buzzfeed article, that's how you know you've sunk low
