via cultrvultr:
I’ve been trying to think of ways to spice up my life. I’m 35 years old, happily married with two kids and I have a good job in insurance. But somethings missing. I feel like I’m old before my time. I need to inject some excitement into my daily routine through my arm before its too late. I need a challenge, something to get the adrenaline pumping again. An addiction would be...

“For centuries, in the closed-off and conservative society of rural northern Albania, swapping genders was considered a practical solution for a family with a shortage of men.”

Which makes me think, fuck, if that guy can solve tons of crimes from what’s basically a studio apartment, maybe I don’t need more space either.
Short-notice wedding: how can you make it nice?
So I have a couple friends coming in from out of town this weekend, and they’ve decided to get married while they’re here, seeing as they’re both guys and they can do that here in California now. I’ve been asked to be a witness to it, which is awesome and of course I said yeah.
Here’s the thing: I’m really the only person they know well in the Bay Area. They...

Rock Band Weekly: The Pixies' Doolittle - Joystiq →
Doolittle’s coming out for Rock Band - not surprising since “Wave of Mutilation” is already playable. Still, if I didn’t live in a shoebox, this would be the sort of thing to make me get an XBox 360.
Which means all my Rock Band-owning friends will have to get this album. YOU WILL GET THIS ALBUM.

I always hate it when other people bitch about it, but it really is extremely annoying when you blog something and then weeks later someone else blogs the exact same thing and then it gets re-blogged a zillion times from them, meanwhile your original post is still sitting there all lonely and bored.
I must admit, although I know it’s childish: my sentiments exactly....

Perhaps I’m naïve. Or maybe, through simple disgust and shock, I’m in denial.
The thought of Xtian wingnuts in California banding together to amend the state Constitution and thus override their Supreme Court’s ruling on gay marriage is about as appalling a notion as I ever want to consider.

Unable to afford a proper camera crew and equipment, The Get Out Clause, an unsigned band from the city, decided to make use of the cameras seen all over British streets. (Via Aynne, who clued me in. Would love to have linked the video here, but the player won’t give embed code and I can’t easily reverse-engineer it either, the way they have it set up.)

Really enjoying this mix. I’ve never heard of “dance punk” as a genre, have I missed something in getting older and slightly square? Obviously I should take notes about what’s on here and keep it on my radar.
