Attention, tenements and facades!  You need this.

I found this photo, courtesy of Joe McDonald who is clearly a visionary, floating in the comments section of The Activity Pit.

I don’t think I need to make a case for why this is such a good idea.

For pants that drink espresso.

I think I speak for a lot of people when I say I don’t know shit about Denmark. Is it the one with the meatballs? Or the tulips? The wind turbines? The herring? But really, says its tourism board, it’s the one with the slutty women who are internet savvy.

I personally think this is kind of ingenious.

I think you do!

Must have computer.

My current computer chair is so old that when I sit on it a little cloud of dust puffs up from the seat and it’s so uncomfortable that often after long periods of working everything feels achy and unsupported. Which is to say I  hate it and it’s time for a new one. But what kind? I’m working on a limited budget. Can anyone recommend and cheap but not ass-, neck-, and back- killing chair?

Sean L. McCarthy runs the comedy news website The Comic’s Comic which isn’t about funny news, it’s news about the comedy world. He broke the news that SNL had fired Michaela Watkins and Casey Wilson and hired Jenny Slate and Nasim Pedrad which is a pretty big deal. Also, he won the reporter contest the year before I did.

And the L. in his name stands for Leighton.

Surely you’ve heard of Fashion’s Night Out, right? Where skinny people save the economy by going to parties in stores or something?

Fashion’s Night Out

Fashion’s Night In.

As some of you may or may not know, there is an animal—at least I’m assuming it’s an animal, I suppose it could be an extremely uncouth tiny human—whose been squeezing under a fairly imposing iron gate and using the area in front of my front door as a toilet. This has happened thrice, this morning being the most recent incident. At first I thought it must be a dog but then I saw a black cat in the backyard. I broke a mirror and threw the shards over my left shoulder to offset the bad luck! Then I opened and closed an umbrella six times in my apartment and said an incantation. I’m now wondering if maybe it’s raccoon excrement because everyone knows cats don’t just relieve themselves out in the open. Oh and I threw the welcome mat which the animal had compromised away in an attempt to get rid of whatever smell is attracting the beast  so today the animal just left a little gift right in the area where the mat used to be. It was a set of nautical themed coasters. Thoughtful, but doesn’t exactly make up for the shit.
