thisbearhatescarol-deactivated2 asked: Thanks for following the baddest bitch ever to solve a mystery
Oh JEEZ
Leah: Ugh, eff The Nationals
Justine: I thought you liked them?
Leah: The Nationals? No? I used to like Werth, but no longer. What a dickbag.
Justine: OH HOLD UP. I thought it was about the band. Not the baseball team.
Jean: Haha, yes, The National, singular, is much cooler than the DC ball club.
Justine: Hahaha yes. I understand now. Dur dur dur me.
Leah: Phew. My reputation was almost in tatters there for a minute.
“I am a good person.”
– Ponzi schemer Bernard Madoff. Madoff told New York Magazine that his therapist told him he was not a sociopath and he had morals. (via officialssay)
Oh please, my therapist tells me the same thing and we all know that it’s completely untrue.
If you have any desire to see my photos from...
Go here (part 1) and here (part 2).
I have no need to spam you all with photos if you’ve no desire to see them.

Be back later. Heading to Stockholm to pick up...

Kafka works for Capital One
Capital One Customer Service Representative: What can I help you with?
Leah: I'm going to be using the card out of the country and I didn't want a fraud flag to prevent me from using it.
Capital One CSR: Sure. OK, I see you have a card that hasn't been activated yet.
Leah: I do not.
Capital One CSR: Oh, are you sure? I see we sent you a new on in August.
Leah: I got this one last May.
Capital One CSR: Are you sure you didn't get one in August? Check the expiration date.
Leah: [Gives the expiration date]
Capital One CSR: Well, since you haven't activated the card, I have to cancel your account.
Leah: I'm sorry, what? I never got a new card.
Capital One CSR: Well, right. To prevent fraud, we have to cancel the account.
Leah: Why can't you cancel the card that is apparently floating out there in the mail? Why do you have to cancel this card? I was planning on using it overseas.
Capital One CSR: No, it doesn't work that way, but it's your choice.
Leah: What's my choice?
Capital One CSR: I can cancel your account.
Leah: How is that a choice?
Capital One CSR: Ok, well, it's not really a choice, but it's your choice.
Leah: No one at Capital One has contacted me in this extended amount of time that I've been using an old card to ask me why I hadn't activated it. Why don't you have safeguards in place? I've been using this card for months and there haven't been any fraudulent charges.
Capital One CSR: OK, but you understand if I don't cancel your account and in the next week there's fraud, I won't be able to help you.
Leah: It doesn't concern you that I've been using this card for months and no one noticed this until I called specifically regarding fraud flags?
Capital One CSR: It's your choice.

First things first: GREAT show, GREAT movie, GREAT book.
This reminds me of an intensely stupid argument that occurred on the Pavement mailing list c. 2004 right after the film came out.
I think everything about this film is great — Schliessler’s camerawork, Tim McGraw’s chilling performance, and so on — but the thing that really acts as the glue is the soundtrack. For a movie...

But my god, all of those of you who discovered Arrested Development or The Wire years later and had a revelation?
Mark my words: in three years we’re going to see people marathoning these DVDs and talking about how it was a brilliant show and how they can’t believe it never got any wider viewership or how ridiculous it was that Connie Britton and Kyle Chandler didn’t win Emmys...
Ugh, vague FNL spoiler, you guys
But doesn’t he know that Julie Taylor is A SLUT?
It’s not me who said it. It’s that other lady.
Something I wrote in an email to someone
“All My Friends” is actually my ringtone because I’m ridiculous in that I find it amusing to hear “Where are your friends tonight?” when someone calls me, but no one calls me – at least not when I have my ringer on – so it’s more of a cruel joke I play on myself!

That’s some bad karma right there.
A Motherfucking Plea For Tenderness:
theoreticalgirl:
I am still in dire need of a place to crash for SXSW Interactive this year. I would prefer to not hassle my Austin-based friends (who probably need the solace and comfort of home as the Industry Locusts descend upon their fair city).
Think of the good karma coming your way if you can let me chip in for a share of your hotel room — even if I wind up sleeping on the floor.

Today, I found out my husband is cheating on me with my therapist. The same therapist who’s been encouraging me to work on my trust with my husband and self-esteem issues. They’re planning on getting married as soon as the divorce goes through. FML
Pretty sure this is just someone who watched The First Wives Club recently and for some reason wanted to be Diane Keaton in that instead...
