hrrrthrrr:is there a name for when you select a word and manipulate the letterforms to depict the meaning of the word? like using the word echo in a large font and repeating it getting smaller. (if that makes sense) or “lonel y.” ——I don’t know if there is a specific name for this, but it is often used in modern poetry (think ee cummings). This sort of...
WatchI think this is my favorite Snippet. OF ALL TIME.

using vimeo as a creative profile for potential...
I recently made a Vimeo Channel called “Why Hire Andrea Allen” to send along with my resume and writing samples to potential employers. Well, good news, I got a bite! One ad agency boss wrote back to me saying he is interested in seeing some creative work from me, “Especially after seeing your mad MJ dance skills.” Even if I don’t get the job, it’s still...
Tumblr - brand replacing generic name →
Szymon: It’s fascinating. People use tumblr as a generic name in their own domains. […] It’s glorious branding victory for davidville. We don’t search - we google… We’ve been very careful never to use Tumblr as a generic noun. It’s always “your tumblelog” or “your account” — never “your Tumblr”. And it annoys me when people get it wrong, even though it probably benefits us. — marco I’m...

flip-floppers
You know what I like to think about? I like thinking about how many people were assholes to Kerry during the 2004 election, calling him a flip-flopper, saying the fact he changed his mind on the war was a reason for not electing him president. How many of those people are flip-floppers now? HUH? Someone needs to shake some sandals in their faces.
WatchRock and roll lives in our house! — stever- If “The R’s” were a reality TV show, it would be so good.

I wish I joined vimeo when Tina Mosh was still around. It seems like she’s the shit. — farfaraway yup, me too. — rocketscience — brianbrown reblogged this and it made me feel all old skool and stuff. Like, yeah, it was a real privilege to get a comment or dig from Tina. I miss her and the Browns’ regular posts on vimeo.
WatchThis makes me lol every time I watch or think about it.
My second-hand embarrassment was in overdrive this...
Carl and I tried to watch the Democratic debate last night but I made him switch it off after about 30 seconds. I just can’t stand watching them attack each other. I dread witnessing people getting embarrassed, and if it’s on tv it’s even worse. The ultimate second-hand embarrassment I experience is when girls give the dude that doesn’t know any better the cold dancing...

anja and I have a friend named Ariel, and here is her story: OH MY GOD. A long, long time ago my friend who works at a 21+ movie theater (theater pub, not adult movies, getcher mind out the gutter!) and apparently someone came in with my ID. Like an old ID that was mine. SHe didn’t confiscate it or anything because a) she was flustered and b) she is lame! two years later, I am...
“I mean, they were touching all that evidence with their bare hands and bell...”
– Carl talking about the seeming ineptitude of police investigations in the ’70s. In particular regarding serial murderers like BTK and the Zodiac Killer.
miracle garlic testimonial
I’ve been feeling sick for a few weeks now. I’ve had crud in my chest, a cough, and stuffy sinuses. I’d get close to shaking it, and then it would all come back again. Thommy said dalas told him to eat some garlic cloves because they’re full of antioxidants. So I chopped up two garlic cloves and decided to attempt swallowing them whole. The first one was way to big and...
“live in the now, man!” this phrase is making me laugh today. try it out. randomly throw it into the middle of a conversation and see what happens! — ianbroyles That’s a good one! Miller and I got in the habit of just randomly yelling out, “You’ve got a smart mouth” over the past week. Hilarious results.
Explrrring...
Sometimes when I discover new tumblrs I find a post that I find interesting and I get curious to see what other people have had to say about it or add to it. I think it’d be nice, as a logged in user, to access the notes from the actual blog page instead of hunting it down. Maybe there is a way and I just haven’t found it yet. — hrrrthrrr said. This has been something I’ve been...
