Neccesitates being OK with living in the south and on a farm. Also large appetite and strong hands. Having a knack for tractors and tan forearms a plus.

Girls should know this

Scotch is just whisky from Scotland.

and also…

“[Whiskey] is most often of Scottish, Irish, Canadian, or American decent- though many other parts of the world produce fine examples, including Japan and Wales. Whisky, so spelled in Scotland, Wales, Japan, and Canada, or whiskey, as it’s known elsewhere- is distilled from fermented grains, such as barley, rye, or corn, and is aged in oak casks…Blended whiskeys contain whiskeys from more than one distillery, while by contrast single malts hail from a single distillery.”

Artist Carter features James Franco in his work at Yvon Lambert Gallery in New York, NY through December 6th, 2008. Apparently he’s had some time to explore other projects since that breaking-and-entering-and-raping-of-supposed-ex-boyfriend rumor got out.

Check out images and press release here.

Junk Food Tees at the Gap

The line of JunkFood tees offered at GapKids simultaneously depresses and pleases me. On one hand, it’s somewhat comforting to know that the icons of the generations before us and during our youth are still the most deserving of t-shirt-dom. Who cares about Pokemon or Blue’s Clues? Those guys will never last the test of time. It’s still all about Batman and Mr. Happy and forever it should remain.

On the other hand, buying your child faux-worn new-as-vintage tees seems really weird. All my cool shirts I dug out of the closets at Grandma’s house after my cousins left them there in the late 1970’s, the way they are supposed to be found. They said things like “RC Cola” and “Under Contruction” (with a down arrow pointing towards the crotch). These kids’ siblings would then be inheriting worn out vintage faux-worn new-as-vintage tees??? Sheesh, forget it.
