According to this site, this is what I’d look like if Botticelli painted me. I appear to be both high and wearing a retainer.
Do it for yourself! I mean, what else do you have to do?

I am Lauren Farmer.

I’ve never been the kind of girl to anticipate what her wedding day may be like, or the kind of house I’ll someday live in, or even what my kids names might be. But I can tell you one thing, Lauren Jr. will wear these shoes.

I thought for the first time in 25 years I was about to forget my birthday, then I remembered that one crazy day in 2004 I decided to befriend all of the Lauren Farmer’s Facebook would find for me. Let me tell you, they get up to a lot of trouble. Lauren Farmer from Alabama likes to be in lots of open relationships and make dirty wall comments. Lauren Farmer from Texas joins inappropriate groups. They confuse the hell out of my mini-feed.
Happy Birthday Lauren Farmer from Georgia, tomorrow!

You should be seeing much higher quality videos from me in the near future!
Thanks Marco, for the camera recommendation.

This is what you call being in the right place at the right time (or the wrong place/wrong time, depending on how you feel about the situation).
I was minding my own business last night walking home from the gym, past Port Authority, trailing 4 police officers on regular patrol. All of the sudden, their radios started buzzing and all I could make out is “cab” and “front of Port Authority” and I quickly realized “Oh shit! That’s where we are!” There were 3 cabs parked out the front of PA, the cops cautiously approached the first one, nothing. Approached the second one, nothing. As they crept up to the third I heard one of them say “this is it, this is it” and all four of them drew their guns (I’d never seen that before!) 2 went on one side, 2 on the other and approached the cab, tapped on the driver’s side window, pulled the door open and dragged the cab driver out, throwing him to the ground, cuffing him.
I thought about videoing, but I was legitimately concerned for my safety so I settled for this photo. Shortly after, more cops arrived and asked us to all move along, so I did. I never found out what was going on. Pretty exciting though, and this is an awesome photo.

A 65-foot tall replica of Rockefeller Center by Chris Burden, entitled “What My Dad Gave Me.” I took this photo today of the sculpture and the real thing in its shadow.

We had a for-real fire drill this morning, as in down the stairs and out to the park with our HBO emergency backpacks full of space food, contact solution, flashlights and bandaids. Priscilla did not man-up with the acting skillz, but I expect her to in the future.

Showbiz Pizza's robot band cameo in MGMT's Electric Feel video
If you’re a kid from the 80’s and lived in a region where Showbiz Pizza reigned over competitor Chuck E. Cheese you probably remember the animatronic band that played while you ate pizza. It turns out they have a name — The Rock-afire Explosion and they make an amazing comeback in MGMT’s Electric Feel video after a nearly two decade long hiatus. More on Rock-afire here.

Love the MGMT video. AND Showbiz Pizza.

HOW TO Land a Plane
1. Call for Help. Take the chair on the left. Put on your headset and switch on the radio. Tune it to 121.5 (the emergency channel) and push the talk button on the yoke to contact air traffic control. They’ll call an instructor to guide you down.
2. Set the autopilot. Get nagivational aids (like radio ranges) from air traffic control and input the figures on the keyboard.
3. Program your approach. The instructor will give you a frequency, which you enter into the Instrument Landing System. The device will then pick up radio signals from the assigned runway and provide both lateral and vertical guidance (i.e., calculate the precise speed and angle of descent, usually 3 degrees). The autopilot will begin to slow down the plane - which is handy, considering if you tried and stalled you’d drop like a safe.
4. Prepare for Landing. Keep an eye on your speed (the gauge is on the left monitor). When it falls to 130 knots, flip the switch to lower the flaps, then pull the lever to release the landing gear.
5. Brake carefully. If the brakes are engaged when you land, you’ll blow out the tires. Once you touch down, push the tops of the pedals. (The bottoms are for steering in the air.) Exhale.

Just because you go to lunches with Chris Brown doesn’t make you a better person than me.
Aaron. I beg to differ.

iamneurotic.com
After reading someone’s submission about counting the number of times it takes him/her to drink a glass of juice, she started doing the same thing.
This is exactly what I worry about while reading iamneurotic.com.
I have at times had a mild tendency towards certain OCD behaviors. The best documented example of this is the year I spent journaling what made each day significant (example: “38th day of the last time I’m less than 13 less than half a year.”) I find this site so fascinating, but I get concerned that one of these crazy neuroses will hit a nerve in me and I’ll start doing them. So I don’t read it, but I wish I could.
