With 650,000+ followers, Kanye West has decided to follow ONE person in the entire twitterverse. Who has received this most righteous honor? That’s right, Justin Bieber.

“Education= mindless distraction of the masses”
“Considering how dangerous everything is, nothing is really frightening.”
“I <3 Chi Omega!!!”
Library desk graffiti is usually either (kind of) profound or completely inane. But like library book marginalia, I find it fascinating.

Mac from Always Sunny opening a real bar in Philly →

Via The Iladelph comes word that Rob McElhenney—probably better known as Mac on It’s Always Sunny in Philadelphia—has bought a bar in Philadelphia’s Old City neighborhood along with his wife Kaitlin Olson, who also plays Dee on the show.
On the popular FX show, McElhenney owns a bar with the other characters, and the fictional bar is called Paddy’s Pub. To add to...
Fantasy SCOTUS? →
Apparently there’s a Supreme Court fantasy league, popular with legal nerds. Good lord, what am I getting myself into.
Cat freed after being trapped in wall for 3 weeks →
They just did this on an episode of It’s Always Sunny! I guess this is an instance of life imitating art.
Term papers are really impeding my enjoyment of festive holiday things. Grrr.

I used to like 30 Seconds to Mars. It was probably because of my crush on Jared Leto. But this song/video just screams “Pretentious!” and “Grandiose!” and “Generic!” I think it was the shots of hipsters solemnly riding their bikes at the end that really ruined it for me.
Amen! →
Aw, crap. →
Dollhouse > Any show on Fox right now (except Glee).
Let the Twitter eulogies commence.
Who are these “Phillies” everyone keeps talking about?

File under: Reason #324,878 why I hate MTV
So MTV, you say Muse was Stephenie Meyer’s biggest musical influence while writing Twilight? Huh, is that so? Why do we have to bring Twilight into EVERYTHING? Especially one of my favorite bands. Don’t ruin Muse for me. PLEASE.
The filmmakers must assume that Twihards will buy ANYTHING.

Query:
What do you call a singing group that consists of a set of twins who sing lead? Is there a name for this? My brother and I are going to see School of Seven Bells in a couple weeks, which features a set of twins (this group is awesome by the way), and we wanna be hip to the music lingo. My best guess is twintet.
Man, she's a lady/ woah woah woah she's a lady →
How humiliating must this be? And for that matter, how freaking complicated is a gender test? Exactly what are they looking for? Once the pants are down, it should be pretty obvious. That said, girl’s gotta be on steroids or something because she’s sporting a pretty pronounced five-o’clock shadow.
Live Nation = Rip Off
So, my ticket for Regina Spektor cost $38. Live Nation then charged me a $9 convenience charge along with a $5.50 processing charge (isn’t that the same thing?). THEN, they had the gall to ask if I wanted to pay an additional $10 (at the least) for immediate shipping. Needless to say I chose the free it’ll-get-here-when-it-gets-here shipping. So, my total came to $53. For REGINA...
Smashing Pumpkins get 19 year old drummer →
Let’s see, at 19 I was:
- sleeping until 10 every day
- taking bio (in order to go to med school, until I realize I’d been brainwashed by Grey’s Anatomy)
- working at Panera Bread
This kid is one lucky punk(in).
Fat Hipsters now Hipper-er →
Male hipsters are now sporting pot-bellies (ironically?) and apparently we’ve gone back to the age-old standard of beauty that says fat=wealthy feudal lord. I have two questions. When will this be a trend for women and why, with the recent study that says exercise doesn’t help you lose weight (and will therefore inspire people to give up exercising), does America want us to be fat??
Edit: This will be an EPIC week
9/22 - Sufjan Stevens
9/24 - Regina Spektor
9/25 - School of Seven Bells
9/26 - LSAT. Not so epic. Apparently the universe wants me to fail this test.
This can't turn out well
9/24 - Regina Spektor
9/25 - School of Seven Bells
9/26 - LSAT

This is very sad. But I am torn between good taste and the fact that “death by chocolate” is only one of at least 10 puns I thought of while reading this.
