Before clicking on that list, I thought to myself, “No San Francsico episode, no San Francisco episode PLEASE!!” Sure enough, no episode yet! This gives me hope that one day I’ll run into him when he films in SF (he has said he wants to do that episode).

I am spending the first part of my winter break in Disneyworld, and trust me, I realize that this is an iconically magical place and people who write bad things about the Disney franchise always always come across as Grade A Tools, so yeah I write this post with lots of apprehension. But perhaps I am not the only hater? Maybe there are others out there who would rather sit by themselves next to...

this article is pretty self-explanatory, thanks to the title. i wouldn’t even limit their projects to the holiday season, craft projects are perfect all-year-round.
I’ve always been kind of a craft nut, but is it just me or has the DIY aesthetic suddenly gone high fashion? Of-the-moment deconstructed shirts and bottoms just beg to be copied with some cheap F21 knockoffs, and...

The pictures have been taken down from the landing page, but you can still visit them here. And maybe it’s because I’ve inherited Mommy Wang’s affinity for parsed-down, minimalistic interior decor—our house has the kind of model-home feel that makes you poke dinner before you eat it to make sure it’s not plastic—so it’s not surprising that I’m very...

MTV, drunk on profits from The Hills, decided to give us our own TV show.
We’re excited. More details to come, obviously.
Merry Christmas, Ginsberg (and by extension, all frat boys—you too)!
ADDENDUM: Apparently, MTV has heard my prayers and is bringing back Rob Dyrdek. And get this, there’s also going to be “College Life,” which follows freshman at the...

And, yes I know that having a half-formed...

I’d like to reblog this in its pure form (out of context, that is), but I feel like in context, the situation’s even more ridiculous.
