“CAMBRIDGE, MA—A Harvard University study of more than 2,500 middle-income African-American families found that, when compared to other ethnic groups in the same income bracket, blacks were up to 23 percent more likely. “Our data would seem to discredit the notion that black Americans are less likely,” said head researcher Russell Waterstone, noting the study also found that women of African descent were no more or less prone than Latinas. “In fact, over the past several decades, we’ve seen the African-American community nearly triple in probability.” The study noted that, furthermore, Asian-Americans.”

“But just yesterday I was walking home from the library and I thought, gosh I feel blue. And then a very petite man from Newfoundland popped up from behind a tree and said, “I know just what you need.” And I could tell I could trust him, because almost all strangers almost all the time are almost always going to help you along on your spiritual journey. So I followed him to a back alley where he slapped me across the face and stole my new $12 woolen socks. The point is I have a book deal and I’ll see you in hell.”
—Eileen’s response to my post on her wall about how terrible Eat Pray Love was. I’m laughing a lot.
DOUSING ALL MY SOCIAL NETWORKS BECAUSE I JUST MET CATHERINE O'HARA AND SHE WISHED ME HAPPY HOLIDAYS AND I SHOOK HER HAND AND I AM NEAR DEATH I CAN'T STOP PANTING.
I CAN’T THINK OF A MORE APPROPRIATE PERSON TO MEET DURING THE HOLIDAYS. CAPS LOCK FROZEN I WANT TO CUT OFF MY HAND AND DROP IT IN FORMALDEHYDE BECAUSE IT TOUCHED HERS.
For reasons not worth mentioning, I just finished watching Eat Pray Love.
It was like eating delicious Italian gelato with a friendly Balinese medicine man at a lush Indian wedding, but, like, the entire time you’re being attacked by killer bees and it’s raining fire and all the guests are screaming bloody murder and Javier Bardem is actually Anton Chigurh.

Amazon’s Black Friday deal was too good to pass up. I shall stream this album no longer.

The new text tones in iOS 4.2 are absolutely hilarious and completely unusable.
Great ideas behind them, guys, but I can’t have five seconds of music each time I receive a text. Shorten each to half a second and I’m sold. Until then, I’m staying the hell away from ANTICIPATE, SHERWOOD FOREST, and NEWS FLASH.

OK, I threw this together pretty shoddily because I was brain-laughing so hard at the idea, but seriously, watching Oprah’s audience freak out over the VW is best enjoyed while listening to this song.
