Computer Troubs
Abe has been crashing at my place and though I am now on my screen name and he is floating about downtown, I am getting IMs directed towards him from screennames that include psuedonyms such as “weinerman”. Though he was really adamant about erasing my computer’s entire web history and logging out in fear of me “pirating [his] secrets” after every use, he seems to...

Clark from User Operations of Facebook: Hi Ary, After reviewing your situation, we have determined that you violated our Terms of Use. Please note that nudity and other sexually explicit content is not allowed on the site. Additionally, we do not allow users to send messages that are sexually suggestive, or that other users may find harassing in nature. We will not be able to reactivate your account for any reason. This decision is final. Thanks for your understanding, Clark, User Operations of Facebook
Ary: Clark and any other facebook employee, I'm very lost as to what terms I've violated and find it odd that you won't even tell me what I did wrong. This is very unfair. Unfortunately there is nothing I can do about it at this point, besides let you know you are making a mistake. Messaging sexual messages? Come on, I have a girlfriend that I'm very happy with and when I'm in the mood to jack off, i go to a normal porn site. Not Facebook. So, I guess since there are no "email terms" to violate, I can safely say YOU GUYS ARE DICKS. Thanks, Ary

According to my grandma’s voicemail it’s all over the news today that there are planned terrorist attacks on the NYC rail system (including the subway, metronorth, amtrak, and LIRR) for the holiday weekend. Apparently, they are telling people to find alternate routes to the holidays. I was planning on taking the bus uptown ANYWAYS. Pffft.

new remix out on tommy boy records
jessenovak:
I remixed the song Just Impolite by Plushgun for the new EP “Dancing In A Minefield.” My remix appears alongside the work of total genius Andrew WK. You can hear the song on the myspace page for one of my newer names, Jesse No or even buy it on iTunes
What happened to J. No? Or Jesse Novak? Or $mart Genius? Or Tugboat? You’re killing me, J. No Jesse Novak Jesse No.
Information Architect sounds so much more romantic than it’s definition! All the real world applications for this profession are pretty mathematical. They’re not at all dream-like or something you’d expect a Dr. Suess character to keep busy with as I had imagined. What’s up with that?
Bleep Bloop Bleep
Today was my last scheduled day of shooting. Before I left to go make a fool of myself in public for the last time, Dave called saying he’d rented a car and would be taking me out of the city for the day after we wrapped. What I thought was going to be a romantic getaway I’ve since discovered was just a trick to get me to come with him to pick up the arcade cabinets he had shipped...

“The study describes two early Facebook messages, or “wall posts,” by teenagers who eventually started dating. First, the girl posted a message saying, “hey … hm. wut to say? iono lol/well I left you a comment … u sud feel SPECIAL haha.” (Translation: Hmm … what to say? I don’t know. Laugh out loud. Well I left you a comment … You should feel special.) A day later, the boy replied,...
Big on the internet.
Just got a call that this here tumblr was brought up on the overhead projector of a class in the media, culture, and communication department. While it sounded like it went over pretty well, I can only imagine ideas of “authenticity”, “compilation consciousness” and the “devolution of the interface” being tossed around like bananas.
Here I go again, appropriating your culturez.
I was asked to be in a K-Swiss commercial that shoots in several days. Last time I did a sneakers campaign they turned me into a chonga. No sharpie eyeliner, but I did get a wifebeater and hoop earrings (which you could apparently have seen me proudly wearing at your local European Adidas store this past summer.)

On Puppies
When I was 16 I started keeping a journal midway through the school year that I was going to present to my boyfriend of several years upon his departure for college, wherever that may have been. Tonight after we walked down memory lane, I found myself repeating to him virtually the same ideas about love and life that I detailed in the letter on the opening page of that journal. When he decided...
