Can you believe that this is Lita Ford from The Runaways when she was about 16 years old? The Japanese magazines sent me all the way down to Long Beach to make some candid photos at Lita’s family home. You know photos in her bedroom, with the dog, in the refrigerator and with the parents. This was the best from the session. I think I read somewhere that she was not amused about the new film about The Runaways.
I believe the phrase “cool parents” comes to mind.
Well, I certainly hope the healthcare bill passes as-is, but I just know — know — it’s going to get raped and butchered along the way from point A to point B. I sometimes feel like this administration has been little more than compromises where there shouldn’t be and stubbornness where there should. Still, if I can get healthcare out of this, I’m down.
Name: Matthew
Tumblr Name: sharpless (duh)
Nickname: Matt, “Sanderman”
Birthday: June 13
Age: 26
Location: South Jersey
Current school/job: Nothin’. That “wearing thin” thing I mentioned? Yeah, there you go.
Status: Um… do you mean, like, “relationship status”? Quite single, and resigned to remain as such for the foreseeable future.
Random fact about you: I honestly believe that women from the 1930s through the 1960s were the best women. I mean, no offense to modern-day ladies, you’re neat too, but when I look at, read about, and watch all the Rita Hayworths, Myrna Loys, Ava Gardners, Marilyn Monroes, and even just the pin-up models… I just feel like I was made for another time, in most sexual regards.
Hobbies/Interests: You can put my hobbies and interests into two categories: “Things I like and that I actually do,” and “Things I like but never take the time to do.” In the first category you’ll find video games, Internetting, listening to music, and television. In the second category you’ll find reading, writing songs, writing fiction, writing non-fiction, being productive, and carving out a bright future. In broader terms, I love, love, love fiction and anything involving creativity and imagination. More specifically within that, I dig science fiction and westerns. As you can probably guess, Firefly is a bit of a wet dream.
Do you smoke/drink: Do I drink? Yes. When I can. For health reason, I can’t do it very often (and currently, I can’t do it at all). But yes, I enjoy alcohol. Do I smoke? I have. I smoked cloves for a little while. I still enjoy that, but I don’t do it anymore. I would, though, if the opportunity presented itself.
Favorite Tumblr bloggers: (I’m too lazy to add links to their blogs right now. You do the math.) youcankeepthechange, yourfavoriteredhead, merlin, magnetical, replicant, mayjah, bizarreandbeautiful, angelinaadoptme, sparkleneelysparkle, jasonpermenter, and I think I’m actually going to just stop there, because I’m now realizing that my brain is nowhere near competent enough right now to remember the many people that I’m quite fond of. Just assume that I love you.
Why Tumblr?: Because I’m a pretentious moderate Democrat. *shrug*
I’m dead serious. I’m extremely frustrated by… well, everything, and I am absolutely willing to do any work you ask of me, if you will pay me for it. If it’s within my realm of capabilities, I will do it for you. I don’t currently have the energy to elaborate on all the shittiness going on around me right now, but… Well, yeah, just let me know if you’re interested.
Serious inquiries only, smartasses.
My dashboard doesn’t fill up anywhere near as quickly as it used to. Most evenings, it grinds to a slow crawl. And I’m fairly certain that, of my nearly 600 supposed followers, barely a quarter of them actually read my posts, or even use Tumblr at all.
Did everyone get lives? Move on to another corner of the web? Tumblr is supposedly still successful. Is this just happening within my little sphere of followers/those I’m following? Admittedly, I don’t use Tumblr as much these days either, but I wouldn’t have expected many other people to follow suit, all of a sudden. Ever since the summer, everything just seems increasingly more dead. I’m just puzzled, is all.
So, what gives?

Abed: Jeff, did I say anything in my sleep last night about farm animals or Brian Williams?
Jeff: I don’t think so.
Abed: Cool. Cool, cool, cool. Lucky Charms?
Jeff: How are you so satisfied, all the time, Abed? I mean, don’t you ever want anything more out of life than cereal?
Abed: Sometimes, I like to pour hot cocoa mix into cold milk and drink it like a cold hot chocolate. I call it Special Drink.
Jeff: And some day you will know it by its real name: diabetes.Community 1.08 - Home Economics
Okay, so I got caught up on this show between last night and this morning (I have no life, clearly) and here is what I have to say:
- I think I’m in love with it.
- Abed is hilarious.
- The Halloween episode was the best.
- I nearly died when I fell off my bed while laughing at the last 5 minutes of said episode.
- Joel McHale, do me now.
First of all, I completely missed the “Special Drink” lines. For years, I’ve been putting Swiss Miss cocoa mix into cold milk and drinking it as is. I always enjoyed it because, aside from the chocolate-flavored milk, a lot of the mix would rise to the top, creating a thick top layer of moistened powder, which I would consume with a spoon. No one else ever seemed to do this, so this reference makes me smile. Henceforth, it shall be called “Special Drink.”
And second, I’m shocked that it’s taken you this long to watch the show, Wendy. Shocked. It’s actually taken me a while to fully warm up to it, as the first few episodes struck me as being merely “okay.” The last few episodes however, especially last night’s, have cemented Community as something that I like very much.
(All right, I’m talking too much, but I need to make a third point: Chevy Chase was hilarious in the most recent episode. Over the years, I’ve come to think of him as a has-been, since he hasn’t done much of note in recent years and, well, that’s how everyone else seems to think of him. But dammit, if last night’s episode is any indication, the man still has it. A lot.)
There’s a noticeable lack of The Tick (in comic book form) on the Internet. Distressing.

Star Wars Uncut - Scene 072
(via James Patrick Robinson)
If you want to know why the Star Wars Uncut project — in which fans reconstruct the original Star Wars by filming 10- to 20-second scenes in whatever style they choose — is utterly brilliant and full of endless potential, look no further than this clip. It took me around 5-10 seconds to realize which scene they were depicting, but when it hit, it hit hard. Just incredible.

Guh. My mind is not staying within the designated areas.
The Yankees will most likely win the World Series in a very short time and as a Phillies fan, I feel the need to say the following:
- the Yankees are still a bunch of stupidheads
- the Phillies are still great
That is all.
