Warning: I’m going to be the chick of all the chicks below. If you can’t deal, don’t read on.

So this weekend, I had one of those painfully uncomfortable, almost cinematic moments of confrontation with someone I was not prepared to see. Without disclosing too many details about the encounter, it left me feeling incredibly defeated then sad then lukewarm annoyed and now I’m just ligas (like I give a shit). 

If you know me, you know how much I dig GIRLS so far. This is the end of the episode where Hannah finds out she has HPV and the current guy she’s sleeping with is being a real bag of d*s; then she confronts her ex-boyfriend about possibly contracting it from him who reveals he’s gay. Obviously, she feels totally stupid and shat on. But she goes home and plays Robyn and updates her Twitter and her bestie/roommate returns and they have an impromptu dance party in her bedroom. It’s kind of perfect.

Anyway, this scene immediately came to mind after my own happening. I find it particularly comforting for its relatable, meta, cultural/generational reflexivity. Now all I want to do this summer is fucking dance with my friends all night long.

Why Storytelling is the Ultimate Weapon

The new gospel of business storytelling offers a challenge to common views of human nature. When we call ourselves Homo sapiens, we are arguing that it is human sapience—wisdom, intelligence—that really sets our species apart. And when we think we can best persuade with dispassionate presentation of costs and benefits, we are implicitly endorsing this view. But we are beasts of emotion more than logic. We are creatures of story, and the process of changing one mind or the whole world must begin with “Once upon a time.”

Sneaker Pimps - 6 Underground

Do you guys remember this gem? I heard it for the first time in years the other day, and it totally holds up. There’s something very ’90s slutty, mean girl to it but somehow still timeless.

In case you were wondering what my dating life was like


I’d say this is fairly indicative.

Hov could seriously end wars with those pearls. His smile should be deemed a national treasure. 
More amazing photos with his mouth open here.

I know this track is kinda old, but it’s still a timeless *bad bitch* anthem. Whenever I hear it, I vividly daydream about rolling into a party with my girls in slow-mo, just walking past everyone and mean muggin’ real hard.
