Lord hear our prayer.
Watch
I just agreed to be on a SXSW panel called “What the Internet Finds Funny” with my co-editors at HuffPost and Adam Frucci from Splitsider, Sam Reich from CollegeHumor, Doree Shafrir from Buzzfeed, and Jesse David Fox. So if you’re going to be in Austin come and watch. Or don’t. I don’t know what’s preferable — that the room be empty so no one sees me, or...

Live your best life.
Maybe two days ago
I realized that I miss hammock culture. Not like, buggy-backyard hammock or mildewy-never-used-hammock, but a straight up comfortable lakeside hammock. Maybe a book to read. Nothing on your itinerary for days and days. I haven’t had that in a while.
I even went so far as to think that a hammock might be something I’d want at a future point. A lakeside hammock of my very own, situated...

Remembered conversations [pt. 20]
Friend 1: I broke my jaw in middle school and had to get it wired. Like braces.
Me: Like Kanye.
Friend 1: Hah. Yes. And -- this is how much of a prude I was -- when my boyfriend wanted to kiss me I told him I couldn't because of the wires.
Friend 2: Ugh, 7th grade was the worst.
Me: Oh don't worry, when I was in like, late high school a boy told me he wanted me to be his girlfriend and I said I couldn't because of my cat. He told me he loved me and I was like, "Oh, ya know, my cat just died and I'm in a really rough space emotionally."

In case you haven’t...
Still, maybe the best thing about Liz Lemon is that all her idiosyncrasies—her sourness, her prudishness, her love of “The Real Housewives”—don’t have to mean as much, anyway. When the show started, every bespectacled, slovenly, overworked media chick was delighted to finally have a character who reflected her. (I should know.) But we’re living in a golden age for female comedy,...

Things I read in the last 24 hours and liked:
Rihanna’s ‘Birthday Cake’: Reasons To Listen | Ann Powers for NPR Music
We, the Web Kids | Pitor Czerski for The Atlantic
I Am the World’s Worst Sperm Donor | Jack Stuef for The Awl
And this wasn’t written, it’s a video, but it’s also an interview and it’s also an hour long so I’m putting it here:

I was kind of a downer at the zoo today.
[After we've all watched the otters frolic and jump and swim and play with each other for like five minutes]
Me: It's a good thing they like each other.
My friends: [No comments, but they look at me as if to say, "Go on."]
Me: Ya know, like. They're the only other organism the other has to interact with. Forever. It's like, this pond and this grass and this one other otter. So it's a good thing they're playing and having fun, cause it'd suck to be in there thinking, "Ugh, THIS asshole," all day long, ya know? Like, if one was really rude or something. Really intolerable.
Lindsey: Enough.
