Life is hard. Here is someone.

i’ve always said that the dividing line between internet natives and their elder generations is whether or not you had sex or the internet first.

TEAM INTERNET.

Also at first I thought this said, “Whether or not you had sex on the Internet first,” and I kind of freaked out.

Well this is one argument in favor of traditional publishing.

We’ve been here 3 hours guys. Thy gave us the wrong sacks. We had to resack.

O, and then I found those George Saunders haikus. BOOM!

mustanghalle:

Well-played, Myspace! I will see you again in 3 years (haha, jk, 2012)

George, I turn to you
When the world has taken a
Crap in my oatmeal

But, seriously
I don’t want to point fingers
Who took this crap, George?

George and the Sasquatch:
Both bearded, both elusive
Coincidence? Hmm

AMERICA.

Peter, looking way cooler than he should.

What about the bringers?

One of my co-workers brings his lunch. He waits until all of us come back, and then we eat together. We admire him for bringing his lunch. It’s one of those things you should just do to save money, like making coffee and making dinner.

Meaghan, in an interview, refering to my fisco-culinary habits. I think I’ll start describing myself as an “admired bringer.” (via matthew)

I really do admire you for this. HAH.

Success is nice because then you don’t have to worry so much about having been unfairly robbed of your very richly deserved success. Success is bad because momentary good fortune can temporarily hide the fact that you are still, despite your success, full of shit.

George Saunders in a wonderful, wonderful interview.

fun fact: a few years ago Halle won the George Saunders haiku contest, and then met him at a party and told him. He loved it.

#meredithyouareamazing.

We talked about Vooks and iBook extras like photographs and outtakes. My feeling is that none of that will matter. Nobody buys a DVD for the extras unless they’re already a fan. It’s not about embedding videos within the pages of text and it’s not about looking up the Oxford definition of a word.

It’s about community. And I don’t know why we ever thought any different.
