I’m not here anymore. I’m over here at A House of Lies. Here’s a video of exploding tacos for your trouble.
New Music Video! OK Go - “This Too Shall Pass”
Directed by James Frost. Third single off the band’s recently released studio album, Of the Blue Colour of the Sky.
The video was filmed in a two story warehouse, in the Echo Park neighborhood of Los Angeles, CA. The “machine” was designed and built by the band, along with members of Synn Labs ( http://syynlabs.com/ ) over the course of several months.

It’s only March, but I’d say game over.
I cant make you agree with me or not, but hopefully this will give you an idea how most people feel. Everyone has their own opinion about things and I have mine. I think that my opinion is more agreeable on this argument than the people who disagree with me. My goal in this argument is to get more people to agree with me so that we can change this rule.
Words. I’ve been grading this shit for so long that none of it even matters anymore. I mean, your job in an argumentative paper is to make me agree with you. But what the motherfuck ever, ya know? The fourth quarter starts next week. Research papers!
Although he makes some good points in his interrupter-heavy prose, the main problem with the idea Kirn is proposing here is that it would slash every school’s faculty by 25%. Boosting a state’s economy by getting rid of its high school’s twelfth grades would be negated by slashing that many jobs. Not to mention that the people who teach seniors are usually the most proven and qualified that any school has to offer, and you would be punishing them for the students they fight so hard to engage.
His other point, that highly achieving seniors already know where they’re going and should have the option of moving on, makes sense though. If that happened, before long colleges would not only smile upon and prefer three year graduates, they would damn near expect them. It would do away with this terrible notion that everyone deserves to go to college. If you didn’t do the homework and put things into place after three years, you wouldn’t go. It would step up elitism everywhere.
Once again, I’m neither Republican nor Democrat.
25 points or more in 29 games. The boy is unreal. He’s like a more athletic Dirk.
I said I wasn’t going to post about sports on the new blog, but I might have to reconsider. If I ever figure out the password I set up the new blog with. Oops.

This is Michelle Trachtenberg rapping Nicki Minaj’s verse from Robin Thicke’s “Shakin’ It 4 Daddy,” while traveling through the Holland Tunnel and being filmed by James Van Der Beek. So, basically, the best thing that ever happened.
Hot.
Predictably awesome. Good episode by the way.
About that scene when Sawyer is drinking Dharma whiskey: Who in the original Dharma Initiative was like, “Okay, so we’re starting this project in a few years? First things first. I guess I better wrangle a couple of oak barrels and start stirring”? Is that whiskey with an e or whisky with no e? So many questions, Lost!
