I saw this and couldn’t resist.

So Spring Break, right? It’s Eels, James Brown and On The Beach (thanks, michael) while riding my bike through a neighborhood that I cannot manage to get lost in, despite the fact that I do not know my way around. It’s all a big circle. After many rainy days, OK-two rainy days, and a completed/mailed internship application to Chicago Public Radio and a house to myself I am enjoying time however I want. In the last day I’ve eaten about an entire pound of green grapes. Also, I am on the look out for an inexpensive road bike to purchase. Please keep me informed. Until then, here are things I want to share with you that I’ve stumbled upon.
VICE magazine. I want to work there, maybe. Here we have this. The picture below compliments it well I think.
Also, VICE brings us the latest in butt health.

Basically everything YOU are interested in comes from VICE’s latest publication……check her out.
Also, there’s GOOD magazine. Here is an interactive on the two earthquakes that recently quaked Chile and Haiti. And if you are a ‘young adult’ (yes, erica, we are growing up SOMETIME soon…) you might want to move away to explore something new. Four of these cities are in Texas. The only two people I’ve ever met FROM Texas (Austin, that is) are really great, smart people. Don’t write it off. Until then, peruse some internet, ride some bikes and listen to poly-sonic-pleasantness, however you may define it.

But people love giving him press. And people love him! He’s been in movies none of which are my favorite. I’ve always hated Zoolander (no matter what, you cannot convince me.) Although I do love the Royal Tenenbaums, who doesn’t love Wes Anderson?!
The New York Times is almost-kind-of profiling him because of this new independent movie he made called “Greenberg“. I do not know what it is about. I did see the trailer quite a few months ago on apple trailers. I remember being unimpressed by it. Who knows, maybe we’ll all be surprised?
My spring break is just as great as driving to Miami. I am sitting on my couch listening to ‘From the Beginning’ Wilco. I have five extra days to complete my Chicago Public Radio application. I am reading uncontrollable amounts for class. And it’s rainy, which means lazy schneeging. Tonight my parentals and I are going to see Alice in Wonderland (more to come on that.) All is well here. Plus, how can we top last year’s spring break? I don’t know about ya’ll but I drove from Los Angeles to Vancouver and back last year. If you have the time (and money) go out and do something crazy! If not, enjoy whatever. I’m spending time writing, reading and music dorkin’…so the usual.

During his hiatus from hosting television, Conan O’Brien will be hitting the road on with the “Legally Prohibited From Being Funny On Television Tour.” The tour will stop in 30 cities, starting in April on the West Coast, hitting New York in early June and continuing on to Bonnaroo before wrapping up in Atlanta on June 14th.
Conan with "intern"
What will this tour consist of? The tour website promises a “night full of music, comedy, hugging, and the occasional awkward silence.” Interesting that music is listed before comedy, reminding us of Conan’s stellar performance on the last episode of the Tonight Show where he played “Freebird.”
Conan will not be banking any money from this tour. His reason for doing it is to keep his writers and staffers employed. “What a guy,” is all I can say.

Try this.
Cartoonist Roz Chast has been a staff cartoonist for the New Yorker since 1979. She likes to list things alphabetically to help her fall asleep at night. With all the anecdotes, I’ve never heard of this one. As much as I’d like to try it out, I hope I don’t have to.

No Parking 10am-3pm Mon-Fri
However, invisible people are apparently allowed to stand whenever they want.

Chew on this:*
At a get-together this past weekend, I took notice off a wall. Once barren, it is now covered in dozens of sheets of paper.
Portrait of 149
“Where did this come from?” I asked Rob – who lives there, spilling some Beast foam on his Adidas.
“It’s a site called rasturbation.com” I didn’t hear it right. “Like masturbation, but with an ‘R’,” he tells me.
“Ohh.”
You just upload a picture and choose how big you want it. This one is 10×10 – all you’ve got to do is staple or tape all the pages together and voila – you’ve got your portrait. And it’s cheaper than a poster, that is, if you print it on campus. Just try not to get caught rasturbating in the computer lab.
So of course when I get on to my computer I enter rasturbation.com into my browser, assuming this seemingly new-age artform is hosted by some bohemians creating a website based on some wordplay (who does that anyways?) Turns out, the aforementioned site doesn’t exist, and the correct spelling is rasterbation.com, and the tiled artform has been around for years. (Almost makes me think of the museum scene from Ferris Bueller’s Day Off.)

This might become pretty popular. It might even replace tapestries as the most common piece of room decor and also as the most flammable textile to be hung from a wall.
