The daughter of an apartment-hopping deadbeat family helps chaperone her older pill-popping cousin and then, against all odds and expectations, wins the annual Wilderness Jamboree.

From the Dad email files
I just got the following email from my father:
Hey Honeybun,
On Regis & Kelly this morning they showed a video of a Siberian Husky that howls “I Love You” when its master says the same. It’s hilarious! I don’t know where to find it on Youtube. But, you probably can.
Love, Dad
1.) My father watches Regis and Kelly.
2.) My father has problems using YouTube search.

Ok, that is messed up
Billie Jean came on Pandora. I refreshed Tumblr. Everyone’s saying Michael Jackson’s dead.
NOT COOL, COMPUTER ALGORITHM.
I am SO embarrassed.
I just found out that Baby Come Back is NOT a Hall & Oates song. It’s by a band called Player. What the hell?? I am the Supreme Hall & Oates Fan Under 30, how on earth did I get this wrong?! John Oates would totally slap me with his flipper hand jumpsuit if he were here.

I really despise Facebook sometimes.

Would you beat me up if I said the dude second from the left reminds me of you?
Are you kidding me? I don’t even get the sort of femme dude who’s kind of pretty looking on the far left? That’s way harsh, Tai Vince.
Did everyone put forth their 2 cents on the GofG...

Your window for socially acceptable timing on this topic is expiring.
As someone who has contributed to a few established web publications for free (mostly photography, occasionally a party writeup or two), I’ll say this: I did it for free because I was either trying to a.) help out some friends or b.) get my name in print (much like BVan). However, I have always had a full-time...

Reblog with the first CD you ever owned.

(via themattsmith and everybody)
I tell everyone that it’s the soundtrack to Reality Bites, but it was really (gulp) this.
Mine actually was the soundtrack to Reality Bites. Oh, 8th grade. M-m-m-myyyy Sharona!
JJ Abrams and Tom Cruise making Mission:...
soupsoup:
I’ll be honest. JJ Abrams could reboot Howard The Duck and I would watch it. He’s untouchable right now.
I still find it unbelievable that JJ Abrams wrote the screenplays for Armageddon, Taking Care of Business, Forever Young, and Regarding Henry. Regarding Henry! That movie made my grandmother cry. Somehow, I don’t think that MI:4 would achieve the same effect.
Irony is
Someone named smartblonde being confused by a Lionel Richie video.
Additional layer of irony: the Lionel Richie video is “Hello”. HELLO??? Bwahaaaaaaaaaaa.
(Thank goodness there are feisty redheads to sort things out.)
Oy
Apparently, I am an idiot who doesn’t know how to use the BCC function on her friggin Gmail.

I’m laying here in the middle of the night watching some very cheesy horror movie set in an asylum, starring Kate Miltner as the constantly-chased psychologist. And Judd Nelson & the dude who was Dr. Giggles.
I’m sorry, what? BVan, are you tumbling on Ambien again?
On pocket handkerchiefs, again.
brokengentleman:
so, to recap: chivalry is sexist. chauvinism is sexist. finding a specific collection of traits or body type more attractive than others is sexist. putting women on a pedestal is sexist. putting them on the exact level of a male you have a similar relationship with is sexist. looking is sexist. actively not looking is sexist.
am i being absurd? of course. but everything...

icopythat:
rulesformyunbornson has a lot of good (and with the occasional one I disagree) advice. though kate may call the site “nauseating tripe”.
I do! I would also like to call it “pretentious”, “maudlin”, “self-congratulatory”, “patronizing”, “unimaginative”, and “moronic”. Sometimes all at the same time!
Pretentious Buzzwords In No Apparent Order

-Renaissance
-Collaboration
-Idiosyncrasy

You get an F in buzzwords, Vince. Publishing? What is this, 1593? Here are some REAL buzzwords for you:
-Monetization
-Actionable
-Ideate
-Momiverse (I actually heard someone use this today, and almost “momited” all over myself)
Seriously. If you’re...
Oh my.
drunkbrunch:
“Barback” comes up as “Bareback” in my Outlook spellcheck. That’s especially awkward in my line of work.
You are KILLING it with your awkward typo posts today. Literal LOLZ over here.

Oh, GOD. Seriously? rulesformyunbornson is filled with nothing but nauseating tripe. Keep a travel pack of tissues in your pocket and call it a friggin’ day. Actually, forget that. My guess is that blubbering ladyfriend probably has her own pack of tissues, and they’re...
Anyone know any regular outdoor events this summer...

Details, pls.
Check out Amanda’s summer events tumblr, Summer NYC! Lots of good stuff in there.

Someone (probably) told Judd Apatow it was a dumb idea to make a TV show about awkward kids in high school. I’d be willing to be that person isn’t even eating his or her words right now because it was a long time ago. I bet the whole time that person has been telling people, “I knew Apatow when he was nothing!
Just to be clear, Judd Apatow only produced the show— Paul Feig...
Realizations
You know, something that’s really missing from a lot of today’s music is punctuating sound effects. I was listening to to Billy Ocean’s masterpiece Caribbean Queen (No More Love On The Run) this morning, and they really do a great job of explaining to the listener exactly what’s going on in the song. For example, the second verse:
I lose my cool when she steps in the room...
