Dear Internet,
I am going to a heaping of Halloween parties between tonight and tomorrow. Is it gauche to wear the same costume both nights or is that sort of thing entirely a-ok?

WatchAlso of note: I don’t have head shots because I am a real, live girl but thought the occasion might call for one so I attached my CV to the back of my dental records (which is a one-sheet series of photos of me smiling, profiling, and then shots of my teeth) and fixated a little card in the middle saying MALLORY “I don’t have a head shot” BLAIR. That either seals the deal...

I’m relieved Boxxy didn’t make the list because I had been jokingly toying with going as her for the past couple of months due to our uncanny resemblance (both in appearance and gesticulation) and now I’ve got an excuse to do just that (on Friday anyways.) ...
I am going to be a lil' panda for halloween!
I am so excited! I feel like my life has a renewed sense of purpose! I’ve got positive goals! I am working towards them!
*All this happiness comes with a twinge of guilt, however: I came up with the idea to go as different holidays with Ben so now he’s big time set on being Christmas but I will no longer be going as Valentine’s day (and, even more unfortunately, no longer...
Internetiquette pt. 2
So Parker’s enthusiastic check-ins every time we move an inch has convinced me to start actually using the four-square account I created however long ago. I let it search my gmail contacts and friend requested everyone it pulled up. Problem: Is that taboo? Do you only interact with close friends on four square? Am I like that user who switched from Myspace to Facebook and thought it was...

Me: But c'mooon you never let me copy your physics homework. I'd be tired and just want to get in bed and cuddle and you'd let me stay up doing our stupid formula homework.
Jared: That's right! Nothing wrong with that! I just wanted you to learn, Mal.
Me: I opened my legs for that boy and he wouldn't even open his notebook.
Jared: It's all about physics! You never cared about chemistry, all you care about is physics!
WatchMy supa fly friend Mazik over at Self/Aviary directed the new Mayer Hawthorne video for the single “Green-eyed Love” off of his new Stones Throw release A Strange Arrangement. I like to think of this video and Gnarls Barkley’s “Crazy” as a sort of call and response. When Cee-lo breaks down and begs “does that make me crazy?” Mayer Hawthorne is there to...

Rachel Menken: What is this, like, some solar eclipse? The end of the world? You just do whatever you want?
Don Draper: Jesus, Rachel, this is it. This is all there is, and I feel like it’s slipping through my fingers like a handful of sand. This is it. This is all there is.
Rachel Menken: That's just an excuse for bad behavior.

There were days I wanted out. But then You would go and do things like dive into the Vancouver ocean, big brilliant cliché poem that You are, water rolling off Your back as You swam toward a sunset that hung like a sacred recipe painted all the way around Your holy head.
And then there were the ways You caught me moving back into my cave where the wheels turn, same wheels that drove You off. I...
