When I went to London for the first time in 2007, I was a guest on the Foundry’s radio show. While we all sat around a table and talked and recorded, an artist named Armando painted this painting in real time. He did this every Friday for every show, from what I understand. My friends Tony and Emily sat on a couch and watched. At one point an older man dressed like a French sailor wandered...

Thank you bingegardening and masterblaster (who also found it here)
Heeeeeey lazyweb. Recently (like in the past month) I saw a map online that was the United States with each state renamed as the country its size was equivalent to. (I’m not editing that.) I thought it was on The Hairpin or Tumblr but can’t find it, and googling is turning up some other interesting maps but not the one I want. Anyone know what I’m talking about?

I love these.
In my dream last night, Nick demanded a “John Glenn” for breakfast. A John Glenn, for those of you who do not live in my sleeping brain, is a peanut butter, jelly, bacon and maple syrup sandwich. Then Nick said he could really go for some early morning “Urkeling,” which meant wiping down all the countertops. I stormed out of the room at that suggestion, like any sane person...

90% of Tumblr is pictures of pale skinny girls with big eyes, in half-buttoned mens shirts, underpants, maybe knee socks, standing pigeon-toed or photographed from behind one shoulder to show off the whorls of messy hair. apparently they live in fields and pillow forts in perpetual 6 o’clock…
The other 10% is reblogged Don Draper photos.

A dad writes about taking his daughters to the World of Harry Potter in Orlando. Lovely piece. Hit home for me because I was his starstruck daughter — still am to a degree. This quote stuck out to me:
“But the truth is that to a 9-year-old, a star can be almost anybody older — the police officer standing outside the mall, the soldier who walks on the plane, the boys and girls in...

Email from my dad
“Pam and I are going to see the Tulsa 66ers (NBA farm team) play tonight where I will collect a Major Award; a basketball autographed by all their players. I won it at a drawing last Friday when I gave blood. I bet a lot of guys are really jealous.”

Oh my god what is the bookshelf site? The one I wrote about once recently, the one I never bookmark? It’s not songmeanings.net which is all I type whenever I try to remember.
