74TH HUNGER GAMES TICKETS NOW ON SALE AND SET TO OUTSELL LAST TWO GAMES COMBINED!
After harassing the Gamemakers pretty much all week, they finally confirmed that YES! It’s only the first day they’ve been on sale and tickets to this year’s Hunger Games are projected to make it the best-selling Games in its 74-year history! Gamemakers are attributing this to the particularly outstanding line-up of Tributes — including D12’s first female volunteer ever Katniss Everdeen; along with the promotion of Seneca Crane to Head Gamemaker. I know I speak for everyone here at Capitol Couture when I say WOW, the pressure is on, Gamemakers!
Am I the ONLY person who actually re-reads everything he writes? Poorly constructed sentences like this one are everywhere and it bugs the shit out of me. Is the “they” referring to the Gamemakers who can confirm ticket sales? Or is it referring to the harassers who clearly can’t?

Uncharted Books is a new bookstore that was funded on Kickstarter and had a Tumblr before it was born. It’s a dream spot for book-web-community nerds and I absolutely can’t wait to see it (and all of you.)
We will, obviously, be attending.
Ana asked for chili,

so I went to the store and sliced and diced and got the basics in the pot. Then she kicked me out and took over.
I just caught her adding FREAKING PEANUT BUTTER. Jeezy creezy.
Hahhahaha, this chili is going to be pretty good.
I gotta admit, it was pretty good. It wasn’t recognizable as chili per se, but it was worth a second bowl.

I think Michelle Obama wins this one.
Especially since I think she’s addressing it to her favorite president, which is (by the way) adorable.

Dove commissioned a study on how advertisements influenced girls ages 10-14. 77% of girls did describe themselves in negative terms when comparing themselves to beauty advertisements. The internet headline writers decided to distort that into “77% of girls think they are ugly.” That is not the same thing.
“Alright, Frogman. Here is a picture of Ryan Gosling’s abs. How do you think your abs compare.”
“I’m not entirely sure I have abs, to be honest.”
“I’m just going to say that you think you’re ugly.”
“Wait, what?”
This is why I don’t trust hipster hand statistics.
