...Du Jour

Obsession:
new project runway season, duh. Angela wears these amazing short puffy skirts and Keith is a beautiful man who makes beautiful clothes and they're both my faaaavorites.

Mexico-Us Border Wall Idea that Wants to Treat Immigrants Like Cattle:
watch this rep's convincing how-to video on the wall he wants to build, it's educational and shocking! haha get it?

Blog by a Magazine Editor About a Book : The other day I posted a link to a book review from The New Yorker about "The Long Tail" which I doubt anyone read, eventhough I swore it was interesting. Well, the author of the book who is also the editor of Wired is now keeping a blog to document the phenomenon he writes about in his book: the end of the blockbusters and the best-sellers and the age of niches complements of itunes, amazon, netflix, etc. It's all Malcom-Gladwell-Freakonomics-Tipping-Point-ish, and eventhough I've read neither of them nor this recent addition to that category, I really want to.

wtf you can't like keith he's an ass.

watching the howto literally made me intensely sad by the end of it. he honestly believes himself.

i sooo know what long tail is, from my internship nonetheless. (they reviewed the book and related it to how the book industry is going long tail with sites like amazon. bookstores can only be mass media, but with online sites niche markets have formed and flourished. which now that i read every word of ur post, u mentioned amazon so this was useless).

i could not find one book on global warming in borders, but did find an entire SHELF of ann coulter, not even including the new releases display of godless.

ok first of all i support you on the keith thing and i pray to god they don't kick him out for whatever you told me because he makes nice creations and whatever.

on the other hand, i like angela's skirts too but did you watch the last episode? i cannot believe they didn't kick her off!!! and i was with kyle and terzic on the malan guy even though i just like him because darcy and i get a good laugh out of his annoying laugh, cause the truth is everything he made was hideous.
