well, that's just true...
me: lord, slate wrote an article- what can choke and californication teach us about sex addiction...
halle: well, the best place to learn about things is from tv shows and movies
halle: or at least that's what TV and the movies tell me
your cock also rises.
I took few notes in college. Very, very few. English majors don’t have many notes to take; mostly just eye rolling and writing things in the margins of books like “Ha!”or maybe, “Nice!”
Sometimes I’d be filled with scholarly ambition and write the name of whatever we were reading on the top line of my little legal pad, with the date, and then just scribble...

a mini press release of sorts:
We are thrilled to announce that this year’s “REVENGE OF THE BOOK EATERS,” will also feature TUNDE ADEBIMPE & KYP MALONE (from TV on the Radio!), BOBBY CANNAVALE, and PARKER POSEY. That makes this year’s line-up quite a doozy. To wit: A story from This American Life host IRA GLASS. New songs by DEPARTMENT OF EAGLES (members of Grizzly Bear). Talking from DAVE EGGERS and...

i still never read that damn book.
“You’ve never read this? Oh my god,” he would say, as if to confirm my complete lack of interest in life.
“Someone has to give this to you.” He would take the book out of my hands and flip through the pages. “I can’t believe no one has given this to you.” He’d shake his head and walk over to the bookshelf, stick it behind 100 Years of Solitude or something, which I hadn’t read...
sincerity is dead
as it turns out, wearing a shirt that says “i’m not gay i just like rainbows,” just makes people think you’re gay. Damn you, Irony!
On another note, I made many nice new lady friends today.

Hrm, it seems that all my favorite musicians have a song called “sexy girl has shaking orgasm during sex.”

Mostly there was a baby crawling back in forth in front of us that we were making faces at rather than listening to the story. And you know how babies get a big ol kick out of standing in front of you, holding onto your knees? Well this baby was no exception. But let me tell you this led to what was without a doubt the most awkward exchange between strangers in the history of human interaction...

me: haha no i feel like a bit of my soul escapes me every time i put a picture of myself up on my blog
hallekiefer: its a distinct possibility
me: yea i dont doubt it
hallekiefer: that's why the amish dont have blogs
this is what 90% of our conversations are like:
hallekiefer: cuddling a guy with a boner encased in boxers is like one of the top 10 joys in life
me: AGREED
me: GUHHHHHHH

There is something so wrong about this, and yet so right.

I want your Sarah Palin erotica
rkb:
Inspired by my recent Erotica 101 workshop, where I asked attendees to write erotica about a “prominent political figure” and 4 out of 5 picked Sarah Palin, I’m issuing a call for Sarah Palin erotica. Anything goes as long as all characters are over 18, no bestiality or incest (usually erotica rules) and somewhere, somehow, Sarah Palin is in the story.
No pay, but you will get credit and a...
old love: you're in new york forever, aren't you?

My feet remembered the wood floor in my bedroom. I stood still in the middle of the room and stared at the bookshelves full of books that I had fallen asleep staring at for two years, titles that read like lullabies: Sotsass Associates, The Illustrated History of Girlie Magazines, Komar & Melamid, Vladimir Tatlin and the Russian Avant-Garde, Sex Toys 101…I never opened up any of them....

Every time I smoke pot I am convinced my heart is going to stop. I can feel my heart beating and feel the blood going in and out of it, and once you become aware of this, it becomes hard to let go of; such multi-tasking going on in our bodies, how do we keep up? I can still hear my father telling me, “Some people, the first time they do drugs, they just die.” Ha! The cruelty.
