WHY IS 'THE GREAT GATSBY 3-D' A PHRASE WE ARE ALL SAYING LIKE IT'S NORMAL? WHAT DYSTOPIAN HORRORSHOW FUTURE ARE WE LIVING IN?!?!?!

GODDAMMIT AUTOCORRECT I AM NEVER TALKING ABOUT DUCKS.

anytime I talk to friends in suburbs/country I realize the basic function of NY is to make the banal fantastical & the fantastical banal.

"oh yeah, that's two naked people having a fight on the street that's not a thing" "oh my god you live in a HOUSE? that's INSANE"

also, @leighalexander's piece on twitter etiquette is a great/necessary further riff on basic creepiness of 'follow'  http://thoughtcatalog.com/2013/a-letter-from-your-11721st-twitter-follower/ …

the murderous, soundless machinations of facebook's "other" folder.

reminded of Luc Sante's 'My Lost City' essay this morning. always worth rereading, any day, always:  http://www.nybooks.com/articles/archives/2003/nov/06/my-lost-city/?pagination=false …

still can't get over how my computer autocorrects "selfies" to "selfless." everybody thinks they're a philosopher.

@leighalexander oh man. 'but you do something/anything on the public internet how dare you have a reaction to any way I act toward you'

I will forever overuse the word "gauche" in loving memory of that time an ex said "just bc you say it in french doesn't mean it's not tacky"

I wrote a thing about #followateen for @newinquiry. youth, voyeurism, &why teens are better at the internet than you  http://thenewinquiry.com/essays/all-our-little-lives/ …

"Vonnegut is the Manic Pixie Dream Girl of literature"

the weather thinks you're pretty.

"New York is the things that a drunk person is shouting too loud on the street at two in the morning"

& finally, as I've said it before: if you're watching GoT & not reading @leighalexander's recaps, you're wrong:  http://boingboing.net/2013/05/14/game-of-thrones-s3e7-i-am-you.html#more-230117 …

(I'm so, so, so glad I've never liked a person as much as I like 'blonde on blonde')

well my neighbor just let me hang out with her twin st bernards so basically all my problems are meaningless white noise bullshit now.

one single convenient word for wanting to be able to tweet the way it smells outside. #spring

should be a precise single word for 'woken up in the middle of the night by the thunderstorm, put back to sleep by the rain'
