WatchTrailer for the new Mike Myers movie, The Love Guru. Though they won’t publicize this, Guru Pitka was originally a cameo in his script for Austin Powers 2 (which is much funnier than the film). (Yeah, I’m a movie geek.)
“Design is a verb, not a noun.”
– David Kelley (via simko) A good time to explain the ‘verbadjectivenoun’ - my name is Kerri, and whenever someone says they’re going ‘to carry this bag’ or ‘carry this home’ my ears perk up. hence, my name is a verb. (via verbadjectivenoun) We can be in a state of being, we can choose to be in a...

A Warning
verenasays: I’m going up to Saks for work (FOR THE LAST TIME!!! YAY!!!) but in order to keep myself awake and / or from jumping in front of a trunk on 50th Street, I’ll probably be posting inane thoughts and photos from my phone to Tumblr. So: Sorry. But actually, on second thought, my postings aren’t really that un-inane normally, so, well, I guess just be prepared for a barrage of the usual. My...

Numbers Guy →
boutofcontext: nostrich: Fascinating essay in The New Yorker: According to Stanislas Dehaene, humans have an inbuilt “number sense” capable of some basic calculations and estimates. The problems start when we learn mathematics and have to perform procedures that are anything but instinctive. There’s an extensive work on this topic, still on my nightstand half-read: “Where Mathematics Comes From”...

Brick
dontbelievethehype: - a low-budget indie film, a detective story, and an underground movie with touches of film noir. Gripping storyline, incredibly witty dialogue, intriguing characters and brilliant cinematography. I am honestly amazed and captivated by this movie from a first time director. A fantastic performance by Joseph Gordan-Levitt as the main character. I recommend you see this movie,...

"Just Admit It"
jakoblodwick: Sometimes I’m doing email and I open one that was sent within the past minute. I then do “Mark as unread” because I don’t want to look like a loser who just sits there waiting for email. Anyway, I just decided I’m going to stop trying to act cool in this department.

I hate it when people sublimate their lives to others. Especially to douchebags. If being an independant person with independant relationships is getting in the way of your captial-R ‘Relationship’, then there’s something seriousely wrong with your capital-R Relationship. Ironically, as I write this I’m looking at a picture of John & Yoko.
