i can feel the high down to my fingertips
so unhealthy yet so good
im floating on cloud 9
second week of vacay. been doing nothing but gym-pool-food.
sunburnt. ow. not fun.
this break though? so relaxing. love it.
just kind of getting bored is all. but none to fear. i'm gonna start painting soon!
wow. im reading through all of these posts from just a few months ago and i honestly forgot how rough those times were. some of the content is just heartbreaking. i want to reach back and give that lonely, sad girl a hug. why was she so unhappy? why did she hate herself so much? she's got so much to live for so much potential so much so much
im at a personal high right now. noel's birthday was just yesterday and we had the most amazing time. that was probably the best night/day ever for this whole year so far. i'm so happy. i loved it and i love my friends.
it was amazing.
it took me a really long time to pick myself back up again but i did it. and i did it so well that i forgot so much of that blackness. and i owe it all to my friends and family.
ermagawddd. so it's been forever and a half since i last wrote in here even though i kind of promised that i would write on the regular. but we all know how i am with promises don't we? anyways, i'm currently blasting britney spears in the bg for the first time in a year (probs) and it reminded me of my tumblr-ing days back when i had my equal-phase. anywho, i'm supposed to be packing right now but i don't feel like cus i got hungry and im tired and oh yeah i got this weird ass hydrogen peroxide burn while folding my clothes so that freaked me out. packing is such a chore. i hate it. i have like a million bags full of clothing and still so much clutter in my room arghhh why am i such a pack rat?! this is going to take FOREVER!!
it's now nearing the end of summer.. or at least it is for me. i have 3 weeks off of work due to my lease ending and our move-out date is this weekend. it's been an eventful year here at the lofts. we've been through so much in this apartment and i've grown so much as a person. it's seen me through my highest ups (literally and figuratively!) and my lowest heartbreaking downs. it's seen me through my first big crush, my first kiss, my first job, my first bits of experimentation… my first hosted party, my first friendship break-ups, my first meaningful friendship "hook-ups"… when i look back on this year in the future, i'll have so many memories to sort from. parting is always so bittersweet. this apartment emplifies my youth. my growth into a person. it's what i'll look back on years later and say "remember when…". so many laughs were had, so many tears were shed, so much love was shared in this house. i am just filled with so much warmth thinking about it. i really do have amazing, beautiful, kind, & caring friends. i love them all, ultimately. i am so fortunate.
work has been going well. i have money for the first time in my life and it feels nice. the structured schedule it gave my summer definitely improved it a thousand-fold. i may whinge and whine and complain about waking up early and 9 hour work days, but truthfully, i love my job. i wouldn't trade it for anything else. my office is amazing and funny and the people are nice and it's just a great environment to be in. i'm really happy with it. it makes me happy.
this summer, i got really close to james. he and i are good friends now. there are times when he goes too far, or grates on my nerves, but he's james and that's what james does so it's okay. i'm learning to accept people for who they are and not putting them up on pedestals. i'm learning how to say goodbye to the ones that don't try, and hello to the ones who appreciate me. i'm maturing and it's certaintly interesting to observe.
no updates on the love front. honestly, i'm not even trying, so i'm not surprised or upset or anything. i want to focus on myself right now, specifically, self-improvment. if i can't love myself, how can i expect someone else to? i've been eating very lightly for the last month and going to the gym on a semi-regular basis. there was a point when i bought a 50$ gym membership and went every day for 2 weeks, but that kind of faded out. i was begining to have less and less time and i felt so tired after long days at work and a few hours of hanging out with friends. it seemed like my time disappeared just like that. the days certaintly flew by.
my appetite has shifted drastically. since i've been on this strict diet, i've been eating mainly salads with grilled chicken and a lot of lean protein and yogurt. i've been poked fun at a few times, but honestly, it doesn't really bother me. i feel good and the weight is slipping off and that's all that matters. i've lost 15 pounds in about 3 weeks just like that. i used to weigh 150 at my highest, when i came back from new york and gorged myself on everything in plain sight. but now i'm at 136 and still losing. not bad, self, not bad. ideally, i'd like to be 110-ish, so i've got around 25lbs left to lose. planning on hitting the gym, swimming, and skating my days away for the upcoming month! i am excited!
i'm beginning to have more confidance in the way i look. this is actually a very recent development, as it was last night that solidified my "holy crap i can actually look pretty good for a girl who feels like she's secretly a little boy inside" thoughts. i vamped myself up for noel's party, with the red lipstick and smoky dramatic cat eyes and damn. i looked like a completely different person. jamesie took some photos and i'm super excited to see them when they'll be posted.
i've been growing out my hair. it's still red but i'm probably going to stop dying it soon. i don't want to because i love my red and how striking it looks, but the dye is kind of stressing my hair out since i have to re-do it every month or so due to fading. i dunno, maybe i'll keep it anyways. it's kind of my thing now.
i've got boobs too! this is also a recent development. i dunno where they came from but it's like one day i woke up and looked down and was like "woah". they're still tiny by average standards, but when i wear a bra i actually kind of have cleavage and i've never had that before so it's quite fascinating. sometimes, when i'm not paying attention, i catch myself just staring down my shirt until i remember that oops, normal girls don't do that. heh heh. yay, boobs!
been trying to dress more girly-ish.. or i guess more flattering..ly… so i've mainly been wearing tighter v-necks to work along with skinnies and shorts and tanks out casually. it makes such a big difference to how i look and feel and how i look to other people and geez. it's really quite fascinating.
hmm what else. i should probably go back to packing but i really don't feel like it and once my word vomit starts, i can't find it within myself to stop it. my muse has arrived and who am i to shut him/her/it up?!
actually i think that's all for now. yeah, i can't really think of anything else. i'll write more later.
love you lots,
xoxo stoofz
I'm giving you an out, right now
Seriously, think of how you will feel 1 hour from now, after you finish reading this get up and study for your final, do your project, or just get off the computer.
Some non-realistic but motivational advice: Everyone you hate is getting their work done and moving forward -Your crush is out meeting someone -You will get a better grade if you start studying now -Yesterday you said you would start today
by FARGO_HOOKER (via reddit.com)
Your wounds need to heal from the inside.
You crushed on a guy you don't like, because he paid you a compliment. You reacted so well to that compliment because you're insecure. You're insecure because you lack self-confidence.
I would argue that you're not developing crushes on people, because you're not chasing the man giving you the compliment — you're chasing the compliments themselves.
Invest a little time and energy into yourself. Work on your life goals, whatever they are, and that will do wonders for your self-worth. With a higher self-worth, these compliments will be flattering, but not special, and you can focus on the man saying the words rather than the actual words.
Or in short form: Gather approval from yourself, and you won't be so desperate to seek it from others.
I was 15 years old and at my first big debate convention in a hotel in DC. My team hated me, so I was sitting in the lobby reading The Patton Papers. I heard voices and looked up. There, coming down the escalator was the most attractive man I had ever seen. 6'4, handsome as a movie star, and so full of confidence you could not look away. I was hooked.
Later that night, I was wandering the halls. There he was, playing a made-up board game on a paper board with those hotel conditioner and shampoo bottles. I'm a bit of a military history nerd, so as I watched I realized he was following Roman tactics. I said something of the sort (I am shocked I managed to speak at all) and he grabbed my shoulders, sat me in his chair, and told me to play as he watched. I did, and turned out to be quite good. When I looked up to see what he thought, he was gone.
Three years later and he is now one of my best friends. I ended up working with him in that same debate organization.
What attracted me to him? The way he carried himself. He looked like nothing in the world could faze him, like the world was his oyster and he owned everything he looked at. He looks into your eyes like he sees your soul. He is the most fantastic man I have ever known. He is one of those people that walks into a room, and you have to listen to what he says. He's like that, and like looking into the sun and being dazzled by the brightness, and like a breath of air right before a storm when it tastes like lightning and energy and light.
No, I'm not still in love with him. But that is why I was.❞
no no no, we're not going to tumblr this
because tumblring things makes it real
and ridiculous and an infractuation
so no
no tumblring
hey tumblr
so i kind of forgot you existed there for a little while
i think that's a good thing though, because it means that i was actually busy with real life (for once)
but yeah.. life without tumblr is refreshingly positive. no more depressive 'wah-wah look at me my life sux' bullshit and pointless jealousy over rainbow-haired stick thin cookie-cutter white girls. man, tumblr is so full of shit i sometimes wonder how i even got wrapped up in it. a phase probably.
but yeah. i'm only back because a co-worker reminded me of its existence today and i decided, 'hey, why not start writing again?' so here i am.
it is now the end of may. i'm well into summer now, and i've got a steady(ish) job for the first time in my life. and you know what, i kind of like it. a lot. the people are nice, the work isn't that difficult, and it's good experience. like a paid internship. and even with my awkward turtle-y SAP 'i-don't-know-how-to-relate-to-other-humans' shite, i think they kind of like me. i think. i dunno— i don't want to get my hopes up or anything because i heard the way they badmouth some of the other guys in the office and man, office drama = do not want. but yeah, i finished training this week and i think i'll be working almost full time soon. might as well, since i'm not doing much else with my summer.
i wanna save up for england and traveling and everything. cus yeah, i'm pretty serious about this. i want to turn my life around and be the one who's actively making myself happy, rather than seeing myself as a victim of the world. so i got myself a job, i'm on a strict diet, exercising (hopefully losing 30-40 lbs this summer.. i wanna be 110 again), getting along with my friends more, eating right, waking up early, and being good to my family.. life is good right now. i just need to remember to take it easy. one day at a time. i am so young and i have so much time. no need to worry.
hm. what else…
i'm afraid i'm becoming a bit obsessive over my diet and weight, but it worked last time and it's not like im not eating at all so i should be good. i'm watching what i eat and counting calories like crazy but i'm eating right and attempting stay active so. things are looking up.
um. the stuff at work makes me realize just how horribly socially awkward i am. the people at work are goofy and accepting and pretty talkative and even then, i can't muster up the ability to be me. to be normal. why?? this is not cool, body. but it's not like i can control any of this so whatever. hopefully with time, i'll get better.
anyways. so this summer is looking really good and i'm really happy about that. of course, there are a few blemishes here and there but nothing is ever perfect so i'm content as is.
to sum things up, i'm hoping to get a lot accomplished this year rather than staying at home and rotting my brain on the internet. i want to do well at work, get a bunch of hours and experience under my belt, lose a shit-ton of weight (baggage weight, i call it.. or depression weight. misery weight? you get the picture), become more active, be good to my body, learn how to skate better (cus i suck), take initiative, start putting myself out there a bit more, talk to people, start learning the guitar (at least 30 minutes a day!!), drawing, reading, and just having fun.
i've been watching breaking bad recently and oh geez i have the biggest crush on jesse pinkman. it is ridiculous. he is an idiot. why do you do this to me, self??
and that is all for today then. i currently have mgmt on replay and i took a 2 hour bath today cus my legs are killing me (they're all wobbly and stuff. not used to working out i guess!) and i need to go fix tomorrow's lunch. and i think after that i'll just browse tumblr a little more and pass out. gotta be up at 5am tomorrow to work out!
okay so yeah. i think you're pretty much up-to-date now.
peace out tumbla'
oh ps. i went on a fishing trip last weekend. it was ok. i took awesome photos so there was that, at least.
i spent the whole of last week wishing to be back at my apartment again. to have my own freedom and to escape from the constant nagging of my parents. and today, i got that.
and just now, i woke up to a quiet, empty apartment and a dark room and the first thing i thought about was my mother and i was lonely.
maybe it's best if we don't get what we always think we want.
i take everything for granted. i'm still such a silly child. when will i grow up?
thinking back on it now, for those past two weeks, i had the constant companionship of my dog. i would dread the coming of the afternoon, because that was when everyone came home and i enjoyed the freedom of a quiet, empty house in the daytime. or so i thought. now that i'm here on my own, i'm reminded quite strongly of how lonely i was during the school year and how precious that little time is with my family.
when you think about it, the choice is obvious. a student, on their own, stranded in an empty apartment with no friends and nothing to do? or being at home, with a constant adoring companion, and a loving family? the choice is obvious.
i feel guilty. i'm beginning to look forward to going home.
why do i always end up messing everything up? just forget everyone else, do what makes you happy. forget them, forget them all. they don't matter. i do. please remember that.

I just obtained an Arduino Uno and was trying to work through some of the tutorials to become more familiar in using it.
However, I ran into a problem in that I went to go buy some of the components, and the folks at the electronics store wanted to know the wattage. For example, Blink ( http://arduino.cc/en/Tutorial/Blink ) requires a 220 ohm resistor, but the store sells 1/2 watt 220 ohm resistors, 1/4 watt 220 ohm resistors, and so on.
So how do I determine the needed wattage for the resistors, potentiometers, et cetera?
Thank You

New Tippmann TiPX Desert Tan Pistol
In addition to the three items Tippmann has launched last week at the Paintball Extravaganza, Tippmann Sports also announced a new desert tan version of the popular TiPX Pistol. The desert tan version which is the same pantone used by the U.S. Army is available for immediate shipment from our online store at http://bit.ly/TiPXTanPistol or by contacting your local paintball dealer.
Pinokio F1 Prototype
Finally, after months of rumors and speculation, the Pinokio F1 has finally been announced. Don't get too excited because this hopper is said to still have a long way to go. The company has incorporated many new features and a sleek new design. The Pinokio F1 is said to be super light at just under a pound. The hopper will function in nine-volt mode, drawing nine volts of power from the two batteries, providing 10-11 balls per second of fire for extreme battery efficiency, or in eighteen-volt mode, powering the loader to well over 25 shots per second. In two drop tests, the Pinokio F1 prototype was able to feed 32 balls per second. On an Eclipse Ego marker, the F1 prototype was able to feed the marker at well past 25 shots per second over a radar chronograph, with the marker in uncapped ramp. Continue reading

Getting Into The Wonderful Sport of Paintball
Paintball may be intimidating at first, but it's not all that hard. I remember the first time I stepped onto the field. I thought paintball was scary and a waste of time but my friend dragged me onto the field. My heart was racing, i was breathing heavily, and I was sweating as if I had ran 20 miles. I was excited and nervous at the same time. As soon as the ref yelled "Go Go Go" I ran as I have never ran before. As soon as I pulled the trigger once I was hooked. The moral of this very short story is don't judge paintball until you try it. If you are low on money but really want to give paintball a try I suggest getting an Empire Paintball rookie pass (Link will be at the end of the description). This pass will get you everything you need to start paying paintball. Note this pass is only valid at certain locations.

Recipe: Irish Shortbread Toffee Bars
Recipes from The Kitchn
Of my hundreds of cherished cookbooks, my old school community cookbooks rank at the top of the class. (Bonus points if written by a Southern Junior League!) I love reading these retro tomes for entertainment, but they are often the first place I turn for new recipe inspiration, as well.
Last week I dusted off a particular favorite—Notably Nashville—for a little late night reading. As I paged through it, I was amazed at the number of recipes that sparked my interest, and thus made a mental goal to start utilizing the books more often. (Because I never seem to have enough cooking projects.)
First up? Irish shortbread toffee bars. It was said the recipe came all the way from Ireland, and it had been a Tennessee favorite for over thirty years! If that wasn't reason enough reason to make them, they also contained the triple threat: butter (lots and lots of butter), caramel, and chocolate. Consider me sold.
The toffee bars, also referred to as "millionaire bars" (which I found out after the fact), is exactly what you'd expect from an old Southern recipe collection; they were sweet, rich, and oh-so-delicious. Definitely a new classic in my opinion, just like the cookbook they came from.
What about you? Any favorite community cookbooks I should add to my expanding collection?
Irish Shortbread Toffee BarsAdapted from Notably Nashville
For the shortbread:
1 cup (2 sticks) salted butter, at room temperature
1/2 cup sugar
2 cups all-purpose flour
For the toffee:
2 sticks salted butter
1 cup sugar
1 (14 ounce) can sweetened condensed milk
3 tablespoons maple syrup
1 (10 ounce bag) good-quality bittersweet chocolate chips
Sea salt (optional)
For the shortbread, preheat oven to 350°F. In the bowl of a stand mixer fitted with a beater blade (or with an electric mixer), cream the butter and sugar together on medium speed until light and fluffy, about 3-5 minutes. Add the flour and beat on low speed until crumbly, making sure not to over-mix the dough. Press into the bottom of an 8 x 11-inch baking dish and cook for 18 to 20 minutes, or until light golden brown.
For the toffee, combine the butter, sugar, condensed milk, and maple syrup in a medium saucepan. Bring to a boil over medium heat, stirring constantly. Once the mixture is boiling, continue to stir until it is thick and golden brown (but not burned), about 5-7 minutes. Pour over the cooked shortbread and allow to set at least an hour or as long as overnight. (If you love caramel flavor, use all of the sauce, or use less for a thinner layer.)
Melt the chocolate chips in a small saucepan over low heat. Spread over the cooled caramel layer, sprinkle with sea salt (if using), and cool completely. Cut into squares before serving.

Amazing! I was looking for a little something that I could send to my friend to cheer her up and then this popped up! Just one question: What do you think, how long do they keep?
Are these actually Irish? Because they remind me a lot of Nanaimo bars.
Nanaimo bars have a custard filling and a graham cracker base.
Mmmmm, millionaire's shortbread. Definitely one of the best tray bakes on the planet. Also, they may have a history in Ireland, but as Scotland is the birthplace of shortbread and most of the classic shortbread-based confections, I feel reasonably certain this is a Scotch treat. At any rate, they sell a really decent line of these ready-made in the UK that I would kill to get distributed here, although it is probably the best thing for my health that the millionaires shortbread stay as far away from my mouth as possible.
@Holler - yep! I usually make Nigella's recipe and add crushed up candy canes on top during the holidays. A dessert/bar so sweet I only make it ONCE a year!
One. Pound. Of Butter.
I guess you should cut when the chocolate is still soft? Otherwise it might splinter? Any advice?
this looks like something i'd want with a tall glass of milk or a hot cup of tea. gorgeous!
The South is full of traditions/food/music that have Irish and Scottish roots, since a lot of immigrants made it down here. I've had these at potluck dinners and such, but have never made them myself. I may just remedy that later this week and take the majority to work so I'm not overly tempted to eat the whole pan.
That cookbook also looks like something I need to own.
Good point, @Dervla: I forgot to say, serve these with a *very* tall glass of milk!!
I made this version last Christmas and it was a huge hit but very decadent for sure. Adding at least some butter to the chocolate makes it easier to cut. I accidentally didn't add butter one top when making bars with a chocolate top layer and it did not cut well at all. Such a mess.
Does anyone have advice for if the toffee "breaks"? The milk and butter separated. Did I just cook it too long or is it supposed to be like that?
I would love to hear some answers as to the questions about the breakage of the chocolate etc.........I just returned from the grocery store and would like to whip these up tonight. Any comments????? My mouth has been watering for days!!!! : )
@AtomikHBomb - Mine did the same; pulling it off the heat and vigorously whisking mixed it back together before I poured it on the shortbread.
I made these last weekend and they tasted great!! I doubled the recipe to go in a 9x13 pan. My chocolate didn't break, but I did add about a tbsp of butter to help it melt down smoothly. Next time I would have NOT doubled the toffee - while it was delicious, it oozed out the sides and made eating more of an adventure.
Also, there was a HUGE difference in taste the next day! The first day they were good, but nothing to write home about. By day 2, the flavors had somehow melded together and become the glorious flavor I had been imagining. Definitely make these ahead of time!
Will the author come back to respond?
anyone try these with mini cupcake tins? I was thinking of individual cups... I know the baking times have to be adjusted but I was thinking it would look cuter.
This looks like caramel slice- very common here in Australia, most Mum's have probably made it once in their lifetime though some versions have you cook the middle layer too. To cut it once set, use a hot knife, wiping between cutting to get neat slices. And @aliciafig you could try them in mini cupcake tins, just keep an eye on them as they cook- I cook the base until light golden. Here is a multitude of variations on the classic http://www.taste.com.au/search-recipes/?q=caramel+slice&x=0&y=0
I've made these several times and everyone raved about them-so rich and delicious!
Somebody above asked how long they kept. Hilarious question, as if those would survive more than a few hours in my house! toffee! chocolate! butter! aaaaargh! I'm in love.
It seems an easy recipe to prepare but I do not went well, keep trying. I love the recipes on this website.

@yellow coffee cup - don't cut it soft, it'll make a mess. I generally use a sharp knife to get through the hardened chocolate and then a pastry scraper to complete the cutting in a uniform way
As for experimenting with baking trays, I think anything would work as long as you adjust the cooking times for the shortbread and butter the pan thoroughly
I make this every year for holiday potlucks and they are always a huge hit.
I tried this recipe this weekend and couldn't bring myself to use a fourth stick of butter - I only used one stick in the toffee and it still turned out perfect.
I've made these before with the toasted coconut shortbread from Smitten Kitchen and it was very, very, very well received! I may even make them again for the office cookie exchange...

Cannabis offers a number of medicinal benefits. It helps in treating a number of problems such as anxiety, stress and more. Taking this aspect into consideration, I decided to grow them in my backyard. However, before buying it was important for me to know whether or not it is legal to consume it. I did not want to fall in the clutches of the cops and so decided to buy them from a reliable provider. I decided to seek online help. One night as I was exploring the internet I happen to stumble upon this provider that claimed to offer high quality of cannabis seed banks at reasonable rates possible. Without wasting any more time I browsed through the entire site. Upon browsing I found them reliable and authentic. They had a large collection of cannabis seeds. They are the best and the one stop shop for getting top quality cannabis seeds.
They had a large collection of around thousands of strains both common and rare types. Always remember that growing cannabis is illegal in many countries and so it is wise that you go through the laws before buying cannabis seeds online. After going through the laws I came to know that it was legal in my country to buy them online. I was more than happy as I could now grow the cannabis plant in my backyard. This reliable provider offers the best and top quality of seeds. Though they offer the top quality seeds at reasonable rates, they do not compromise on the quality in any way. It was easier for me to browse through the collection of seeds and make a choice as they offer description of each seeds. They offered the best prize winning seed banks, auto-flowering, feminized and regular seeds from all over the world. They offer the seeds as strain preservation souvenirs. The prices were reasonable and easily fitted into my limited budget. You can further filter your search by pack size, prices, yield, plant height, growth and more. This aspect helps to get hold of right strain of cannabis seeds easily and effectively.
Apart from offering quality based seeds, they also offered me with timely delivery services. The order was delivered to me on time without any delay. You can also make use of credit or debit cards to make payment for the cannabis seeds. They offered me with safe and secured payment method. The best weed seed banks offered by them were really the best in the market. It helped me to offer the best yield and growth. When you buying cannabis seeds from this provider you know you are dealing with a reliable provider. I am really impressed with the exceptional services. If you have any queries or doubts, you can get in touch with the experts as they are available round the clock. It is worth that you browse through the strains and types before making a wise choice. Compare the prices and get hold of the best deal. They are worth every penny!

Michael Stipe & Thomas Dozol's New York Apartment
The Selby
We love Todd Selby's photos of interiors. He is continually adding new interiors to his ever-growing list of intriguing apartment. The latest addition is the Tribeca apartment of Michael Stipe and Thomas Dozol. The Selby presents a slice-of-life moment in each subject's life. The apartment seems spare, but reading between the lines, it seems like Michael and Thomas might be moving to new digs. Either way, it seems like a lot of creative thinking happens here.

It's a mess
Did they just move in or is joint slob-dom their M.O.?
so much bottled water
Is the selby site crashed?
Not much interest beside that they are famous working artists.
I should post my mess, it's a much prettier background and better furniture for my mess to sit on!
Seems they were afraid to revel their kitchen or Bathroom!
I hope they are moving and not just a mess.
Like always very creative of the commentors here-
1) this place and the way they live I envy as a fellow New Yorker
2) since I am aware that the ^ are female commentors, please cover your eyes when viewing something cool and artistic. Or just quickly open a west elm catalogue if you require balance.
That's all!
I agree with recon1. It might be messy (read "well lived in") but as another NYer, I am totally jealous of that space!
I find this quite interesting. Because it's Michael Stipe and his boyfriend. Because the photography, the bones of the space, the furniture, the objects are beautiful and interesting. It does look like they are packing. It's also interesting because it's not a typical photo shoot of the perfect home of a star, although that can be good too. Because maybe we're getting a genuine look.
lol, i'm not sure why but i luv this place perhaps because it lks so lived in and untidy. and best of all they seem so happy together... i agree w/above comments i'm jealous! of both their place which they might be moving from and how happy they both appear!
btw... i'm a female. lol!
It's a nice space, but doesn't look like its being used to it's full potential. Just because it's Michael Stipe doesn't warrant a tour of the place...it looks like a disaster.
Hey, there's Gwyneth Paltrow.
redhook1, I noticed that too -- jesus, guys, get some reusable bottles! Or maybe they have reusable bottles but can't find them under all the piles of stuff . . .
maybe they dont spend all their time "staging" the apartment?
my apartment is trashed. id rather not spend my free time organizing for organization's sake.
..i get bills. they are on the table.
That's definitely not Gwynnie... but oh, it must be nice to be Michael Stipe's kept boy. He can spend all day working on his "art" (aka, taking polaroids of people in the bathroom) while the hubby is out bringing home the (veggie) bacon.
Oooh. hejiranyc, retract kitty claws and cut Thomas a break! He's talented in his own right. No, really. And anyway, I'd love to be Stipe's kept boy... or unkempt boy... or just his boy, period, seeing as how I'm a girl who's harbored a Platonic soul boner for le Stipe since I don't know when. And what I love about his apartment? He doesn't have to be tidy. He doesn't have to prove anything. He's Michael Stipe. And we're all gonna be singing "Everybody Hurts" forevah.
I find it's refreshing to look at a celebrity home that showcases their normalness. most creative/artistic types I know do not keep a tickity-poo tidy house. Unfortunately a lot of the celebrities showcased nowadays are not actually "artist" of any medium, just pretty faces. They obviously live and work in this apartment, it's not just somewhere to show off their success. If you look beneath the clutter, their are some really nice pieces, that dresser certainly sings to me.
He allowed a photographer in his home and did not pick up his dirty laundry or put away his clothes or tidy up.
That is not refreshing that is LAZY and disdainful.
Stop drooling and move to Newburgh New York if you're not a famous rich musician and you want a spectacular space and only have a normal salary (look at Door 16 delightful delicious home) she has the right idea. A home like hers in NYC would be for only the rich / famous celebrity.
Am I the last person on earth to know that Michael Stipe is gay? I've had a crush on him since I was like 15! I love his apartment, it looks like the perfect party place. Love it!
^ huh
I'm glad he's messy. So many people's homes are such un-livable hotel-like spaces. Yeah, for messiness.
hejiranyc - was it really necessary? I don't think it's any of our business how their relationship works! It's insulting to call one of them "kept boy". I didn't know it were another gossip site. WTF? Leave them alone.
As to the point of this entry- their apartment - I find it refreshing, real and beautiful. It's alive, great interior. As others said - it doesn't look like they are trying to prove something or make another magazine entry. I feel much more comfortable around places like theirs than some of the tidy, rigid and "perfect" spaces that are shown around here.
Recon and Jamesdedein :
I am a male and I still think it is messy (if they are not moving). I am also very artistic and know there is a difference in art and clutter/mess.
And although I love NYC, that is not the only place that has cool/awesome/artistic/great artist/great homes and so on.
Nice try though.
Someone sign these two up for the Spring Cure.
I would suspect that there are more AT readers out there that live like this (loft space aside) than live in pristine, photo styled neatness. I love that Stipe and Dozol just invited the photographer in, completely unashamed of the chaos.
Richardin LA and others that think it's ok to have a mess, I say, yes it is if you are running around and can't clean til you get back home. If you just sit in a mess day in and day out, I really hope you do not teach that to your kids (if you have any) of have people come into you house to take pictures. I have a 9-5, I have a ball and chain, clean my house, take my daughter to school, school activities, go to gym and so on but refuse to have the top of my dresser look like a laundry bin.
I don't know how anybody cannot be shameful of their house looking like this.
Mess is not a morality issue.
Come on Michael -- you were in the closet all those years and you couldn't find some time to clean it up a little?
Seriously, this place would be depressing to live in, for me anyway. I couldn't think with all that crap lying around. It's ironic that they started with what has to be a multi-million dollar space and yet it looks awful.
To each his own...
It's a bit 'young' for a near 50 year old rock icon, but hey....it's Michael Stipe!
An 'artsy, messy' millionaires apartment.
Though I would like to see Morrissey's place (ex-Smiths, who Michael had a crush on!)
I always had this stereotype that gay guys have impeccable taste in design and such, but I am actually delighted to see the exception right here.
And I didn't even know Michael was gay.
I didnt know either
this is the real deal. most people live in a mess. go and see the patti smith movie. she lives the same way. the rock god and goddess share the same interior decorator. genius.
You don't need to read between the lines. One of them references something "for our new apartment."
Also, just noticed the change of address envelope on their desk. Didn't notice this before.
Jeeze, if you look at the pictures on The Selby site it says that they are in their "New Apartment".
To each his own in their own spaces.
I think the apartment has great bones - it just doesn't seem "done" yet. I liked this post. I am a longtime REM fan and a fairly new AT fan. It's always nice when your favorite things combine - like Oreos and milk. Thanks for the guilty pleasure.
Love that the main emphasis seems to be art ~ love, also, the courage not to tidy up for a photo shoot.
well, i'm an artist and pretty messy, but i'm not in love with the cardboard boxes as a permanent (?) feature! mostly i'm bothered that the title for the solo photo show is "I'll be Your Mirror" -- from the Velvet Underground song, of course, but already used as a photo book title by Nan Goldin!!!! the photos even are vaguely like hers. c'mon, push some boundaries here, Thomas!
I think their loft is delightfully disheveled. It's real, lived in, and authentic. Personally, I loath clutter and disorder, but everybody is different. Kudos to AT for highlighting the fabulous photography of The Selby once again, even though it seems to infuriate the AT peanut gallery.
Recon1, your "open up a West Elm catalog" comment was right on the money (and hilarious).
Despite the surface mess the space appears clean, which to me attests to the 'moment in time' quality of the photos; the boys aren't afraid to let you see the living they do in their home. If a photog went back a week later, I bet they'd find very different circumstances, even if it still wasn't acceptable to the superorganized folks mouthing off here. If all this stuff was static, the place would become dusty and dirty quite soon. (I've been suddenly "laid up" by illness on two occassions and was shocked at how soon things go to h#ll.)
i like the dresser a lot. anyone know the source?
completely charmed by that space.
the chaos isn't accidental...theres a big difference between a pile of vintage cameras, and say 3 heaters that dont work taking up a corner of a room!
'life' isnt going to look out of place here which is how it should be!... having said that. i think even beautiful clutter is alot harder to pull off without lovely high ceilings and open spaces...
Come on (some of you) AT commenters. It's obvious that they are in the middle of moving in and that this photoshoot is a moment in time. There are fantastic objects and art here, and what you get is the feeling for the place, for what they surround themselves with. And the catty, sour grapes comments (Stipe's "kept boy", for crissakes) and the sexism ("I am aware that the ^ are female commentors, please cover your eyes when viewing something cool and artistic") are really beneath the usual tone of this site. If you're so riddled with envy that you can't either appreciate the photographs or refrain from being bitchy, then just move on and go and look at something else, please.
I want that space with nothing in it so a can drool
It's a hot mess posing as cool hip. Not buying it.
I like the space and I like the way their stuff fills it. Even if it wasn't in some form of disarray there would be no Dexter-like fastidiousness here; what a relief.
1 to Juliet. This comment, "... female commentors, please cover your eyes when viewing something cool and artistic," should be removed and the commentor banned for its insulting sexism. Perhaps you've never noticed that 99.9 percent of all home design sites are run by women.
I think it looks like what it is: the comfortably disheveled digs of two creative, busy people. Great apartment, great pics. What's all this fuss about?
I didn't find the place to be messy, beautiful apartment.
Looking at the photos made me happy... then I read the comments and ppppffffffffffffffffftttt, all the air went out of my happy bubble.
Some of the mess I interpreted as "studies" for projects. The collection of logo'ed paper coffee cups, the collection of airline related ads and give-aways. Maybe I'm putting my own view on these things, but rather than being too lazy to throw away their take-out coffee cups, I assumed it was a graphics study for some future project(?)
For someone who could easily afford every designer piece and a showroom apartment, this place feels real and unpretentious. Yes, it's messier than what I can personally live with, but it also has a lot of energy. Looking at the photos was fun.
And I have to say, the comment, "since I am aware that the ^ are female commentors, please cover your eyes when viewing something cool and artistic," is VERY insulting and doesn't add anything to this site. Nor does the "kept boy" comment.
Like I said, except for Alexander Wang, all the Selby people are junk collectors! This is a place I would neither like to visit or live in, but I am sure they are just waiting for all the Italian furniture to arrive. Meanwhile, they do have some lovely art. I love their Bas Jan Ader photograph (I think it's Bas Jan Ader).
Whatever happened to that old saying "If you have nothing nice to say then say nothing at all".
Think before you post "could I say this to their face?
I don't understand why this is here. There's not much sense of the design of this space in these photos. Why not wait until they're unpacked? No criticism of the guys here--but what were the editors thinking?
Geez people! Get a f**King grip!
A lot of you cought the situation at hand and made comments in regards to it and that's good.
When I went through the Selby pictures, I caught onto the fact that things like coffee cups were collected to probably study the graphic art on them. It's more messy than I'd have been able to live in but also know that when one moves, they live ni dissarray for a little bit before things get unpacked and such, what I could not tell was were they moving out or in? Somewhere I missed any reference to which one it was (moving in).
For the record, I'd not been aware of Stipes being gay in any real way for it was never really talked about that I can recall, at least not publically (if so, I'd probably forgotten) and I'm gay and consider myself pretty good at figuring it all out.
What I do love about the entire photo set is that it's not pretentious in any way, uber fastidiously neat and tidy like so many photo shoots and their style is not me but there is an authenticity about all of this and when you catch someone in the moment, you are catching as is, no tidying up at all and it's the what you see is what you get. End of story.
Insults and stereotypes will get some of you no where and BTW, not all gays are neat and tidy, nor have the decorating gene either.
there really are some pretentious wankers that post on this site.
Quisera felicitar a Michael y a Thomas por las fotografias que han tomado al departamento. Soy fanatico de REM y la verdad que admiro a Michael.
El departamento es muy original y la verdad que los felicito
Is there some sort of accomplishment involved in being unpretentious? How pretentious!
Stipe spent alot of time railing against styrofoam...whats with all the plastic bottled water? And a case of FIJI water no less...the plastic of choice for famous envrio hypocrites: they pump it out with diesel engines, ship it past their water starved population to China, and then it gets shioped another gazillion miles to Michaels apartment???? Tell me its a sculpture.
I don't need to know that Stipe is a musical genius to know that his digs ain't all that. Sure, some nice art, and *ok* furniture, but a mess is a mess by another name, as is an old cliche club chair.
Enfin, bref: Musical genius doesn't equal "WOW!" dazzling shappy-chic.

How Sanford's Affair Affects His Kids
A scandal like this can have long-lasting effects on children.
When Governor of South Carolina Mark Sanford admitted yesterday to having an affair, he issued an apology to his wife and sons Marshall, Landon, Bolton, and Blake (whom he left alone on Father's Day to go on this trip). He also apologized to his staff, friends, in-laws, and the people of the state of South Carolina.
Gaining forgiveness from the family is going to be no easy task. His sons are likely reeling from their father's betrayal, says family counselor Rosanne Tobey, LPC. "When a father cheats, he not only cheats on the wife -- he cheats on the whole family," she says.
When she counsels families going through infidelity, Tobey normally advises parents not to tell their children about the affair. But obviously, there is no way that Sanford's sons can be shielded from this devastating news. After all, the entire world knows about their father's indiscretions now. How will this affect them? According to Tobey, "Kids in this situation usually feel embarrassed, ashamed, and betrayed."
Tobey says kids whose fathers cheat usually need a lot of coaching, counseling, and comfort, since their support system at home is compromised. She says children of men who've cheated often experience trust issues in future relationships. "Not every person they meet will be a cheater, obviously, but they think, 'If I can't trust my father, then who can I count on?' As a result, they can have a hard time trusting anybody." Tobey says that with the right amount of counseling and support, it's possible that the core of their relationship can be saved -- but it's going to take a lot of hard work and dedication on everyone's part.
I feel for this family but this isn't the first and certainly won't be the last man who cheats on his wife! I don't understand why men can't keep it in their pants.
The Daily News said it best, this guy is "Buenos Airhead". What a fool! For him to stray on the woman who has helped you politically but to turn your back on your young boys on Father's day is appalling. I'm glad his wife did not stand behind him during the press conference. No woman needs to do that. It's his shame not hers.
How stupid can you be? You had everything going for you and you threw it all away. I am mostly a Republican but this party gives us nothing to work with. Why dont you just give the next election to the Democrats?
He is a piece of crap. Go back to Argentina. You were even warned by your wife about the affair and did not consider her feelings. Thinking with your little peepee again. Kick his but to the curb and take it all, he will always cheat.
Added zealous information of excogitation, I am willing to conceptualize it. There are so galore developers excavation on this part but this is one of the mortal original intent ever. Thanks for distribution it here.

While we are all waiting for the Galaxy Note 3 which may or may not appear at the IFA starting next week, Berlin Germany's electronic consumer event, more information has been released hot of the web stands about the device's camera packing 4K video capture for some crisp goodness and impressive audio playback.
[Update] The Galaxy Note 3 with 4K resolution? Now that's crisp!
What we knew
What we had already envisioned for Galaxy Note 3 tech specs is pretty complete, even before Korean Economic Daily was tipped-off by their Samsung source, or so-called industry official, with this audio and video news. From the huge array of leaks, we've got the Note 3 running either on a Snapdragon 800 or Exynos 5 Octa 5420 processor, holding an enlarged memory of 3 GB, the standard 16/32/64 GB of internal storage on top of the microSD slot, a 5.68-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display, a 13 MP camera and the latest Android version, 4.3. The new phablet will undoubtedly be packing an S-Pen stylus like the other devices from the Note series.
What we now know
With this newest update, it looks like the Note 3 has got more to offer: owners will be able to record videos in 4K which is a note-worthy boost from the 1080p video capture that its predecessor has to offer. Now that's crisp! Not only that, we could be looking at enhanced audio quality of 24-bit, placing the newcomer ahead of competition and way past previous Galaxy phones.
All this murky leak and rumor business will be shone under a new light next week when we, fingers crossed, see Samsung deliver the Note at the IFA where AndroidPIT will be ready, pen and paper in hand, for some mad note scribbling. Let's see if any of our IFA predictions will come true.
What do you think about this new info? If we think we now know everything, chances are more will be revealed in the days to come.
[Update 27.08.2013 at 4:05 PM, Berlin]
New leaked images have just appeared of the Galaxy Note 3's screen, which like we mentioned above should be a 5.38-inch Super AMOLED Full HD display. The pics came from a certain SonnyDickson's blog. It looks like the site was trying to post parts for the new iPhone when they suddenly received these leaks from a trusted Chinese source. The pics so far don't show us too much, however allow us to think that our speculations on the size are correct. The images also show that it's slightly different than the Note 2 in that the boarder is slimmer and that it's about 1.8 mm thick. Other pictures were also released on etradessupply.com. Leaks are popping up like gopher heads all over the place!

The weather is just opening onto that spring-hopeful thing where days are warm and nights are not, are just about freezing. And that, my friends, means it may almostalready be maple-sugaring season.
For that, or who knows what other, reason, I have been putting maple syrup in & onto everything lately. Not kidding. Today I have eaten maple syrup glazed on smoky tempeh, in a cole slaw, and on these walnuts.
These nuts!
They are so crazy easy to make and the payoff is major. I've brought them to two parties in the last few weeks and consistently everyone wants to eat them all. You will too.
I've just been eating them on their own, but they'd be great in a salad, or sprinkled on ice cream or yogurt or maybe practically anything else.
1/3 cup pure maple syrup
1 tablespoon neutral oil or melted butter
1/4 teaspoon salt
1/4 teaspoon (or to taste) red pepper flakes
2 cups halved walnuts
Preheat your oven to 325° F.
Mix the syrup, oil, salt, and red pepper flakes together and toss with walnuts. Pour the mixture into a baking dish and bake for about 30 minutes, tossing once or twice, until the syrup has hardened onto the nuts.

@captainrumi I believe that they are making 13, which I am glad for, because 6 was just not enough!
@daveactor7 That's what I thought at first too, but on a second look I think @dan1 is right. This guy has a much darker complexion and different features.
@daveactor7 I don't think so, man. That guy above looks more like Michael Jai White. The guy from season 1 didn't look like that.
hang on isnt that black zombie that guy from season 1? The guy who couldnt kill his own wife who is a zombie? Im not being stereotypical here he just has similar features or its just me

Gil: You any better?
Catherine: What do you mean?
Gil: Your little major-minor blowup about Lindsey not wanting a party.
Catherine: Oh, that. Yeah. I'm just afraid that I'm making her weird, you know?
Gil: No.
Catherine: I work 24/7. I have no time for my friends. My daughter rarely sees me having any fun. And all of a sudden, she doesn't want a party.
Gil: And that's because of you?
Catherine: Yes. I'm her mother. She mimics me.
Gil: Well, then she'll be fine. I mean look at you.

Work Rights for Living!
We all have busy 21st century lives and it's over time for workplaces to change to reflect this reality. This can benefit everyone – employers will benefit from higher productivity, improved recruitment and retention and better staff morale and it will dramatically improve the quality of workers' lives and levels of job satisfaction.
The PSA Women's Network is developing an agenda called Work Rights for Living. This will give us a "to do" list when we're talking to employers, negotiating employment agreements and lobbying for change to legislation.
What do you think needs to change?
We've set out some ideas to get the discussion started. Are they good ideas? Are they unrealistic or are we not aiming high enough? You can add your comments in each of the sections that follow.
Got friends and colleagues who might also be interested in joining in this discussion? Please forward this link on to them.

The public sector has a low rate of part-time working and workers often pay a penalty for working part-time in terms of their rate of pay and the kind of work made available to them.
What is needed?
• Commitment from employers to equality of pay and employment opportunities for part time workers.
• Rights to part-time working for those returning from parental leave and transitioning out of the workforce.

There are a few things we know about Canada to be true facts. They have stunning surroundings and scenery, they have an abundance great hockey teams, and it seems sprinkled throughout the country they have great rock bands as proven by Machines.Back To Workshop
"We had an absolutely terrific time working with Forefathers. They are fast, efficient, and very friendly, always willing to do whatever it takes to make sure the product turns out the best it can possibly be. We look forward to working with them in the future!"
When we were approached by Machines for the design of their new EP we were given a theme that had a very unique vision and a lot of room to grow. Initially the band wanted to create an old renaissance / empirical feel for the foundation of the art and add in mechanical an even hints of steam punk elements in to the layout.
The result was something even we didn't expect , and out of a lineup of albums this one will grab the attention every time. We had a blast creating this mechanized, timeless empire and have a sneaking suspicion there is a band lurking within there that is on top of their game.

Lotus have confirmed that the development of the new Lotus Esprit has been put on hold. The owners of Lotus, DRB have not made any offical comment on the Esprit.
The Dany Bahar Esprit was revealed (by Brian May and Naomi Campbell) at the Paris Motorshow on 30th Septmeber 2010. The car featured a mid-mounted 611bhp 5.0-litre V8. The top speed was to be 330 km/h and acceleration of 0-100 km/h 3.4 seconds, The Esprit was due in the spring of 2013.
New Lotus Esprit Technical Specification
2 seater, mid-engined, rear wheel drive
Under Dany Bahar's Leadership of Lotus
Dany Bahar, Chief Executive of Group Lotus said "The Esprit is the ultimate supercar. In the past when people thought of the Esprit, they thought of the movies, Bond, Pretty Woman, Basic Instinct but this time around, the car is the star of the show." "One has to be very careful when taking on the challenge of reinventing such an iconic classic as the Esprit – everyone has an opinion. There's a fine balance between acknowledging the greatness of the past whilst at the same time rapidly leaping forward to the future and ensuring that this car not only does the name Esprit justice but also the Lotus brand. I think we've managed to find the balance and in doing so created a new icon, a car people will find hard to resist."
Dany Bahar continued in his speech "Not only does the Esprit look incredible but it has the performance to match. We've stuck to the Lotus core values of performance through lightweight and teamed them with future technology and exceptional engineering to ensure that the Esprit will be the leader of the pack. The design is aggressive, you have to see it to appreciate how low and wide the proportions are but it still retains a level of dignity, of class and most of all exclusivity. I'm very proud of this car."

kissdistinctlyamerican replied to your post:There are worse things than being "fat".
Boring? Stupid? Ignorant? Bigoted?
I am fat and happy. And, so "they" tell me, sexy.
I'm planning to write a whole mini-history of my life as a fat chick, but I'm on tumblr-break.
I never fully understood what happened. Had I somehow unnerved him? Shaken his confidence in himself? In me? Did I simply not need him enough?
It's true that I was focused on other things. On my syllabi and my student planner filled with color-coded post-it notes. On my clipboard and my rough drafts and my red and purple editing pens. On my flurry of index cards. On my sheet music. My Diet Peach Snapple and my monogrammed L.L. Bean briefcase and my favorite hooded sweatshirt and the Gore-tex Nikes that were the only thing I ever wore in the snow. My head was full of Baudelaire and Savonarola and Neruda and Benjamin and Virgil and Machiavelli and Erasmus and Borges. They kept me company, they required my undivided attention, and they were greedy, devouring most of my energy, so whenever I came home to an answering machine full of hang-ups and terse, accusatory messages, all I could do was shrug.
For a long time afterward I wondered if I'd done the right thing. I wondered if I was crazy for giving up love for a trip to Europe. But in the end I realized that there always would have been something. That if he was jealous of books and theoretical men, I could never win. And that if he were that insecure I'd expend unfathomable energy just to break even.
My heart stayed empty for years. I remained self-contained. Became more so. I threw myself into my work. I rode that wave of determination all through my last year of college and well into grad school. I buried myself in academic success. I worked so hard I almost never had time to think about anything else. Very rarely I'd wonder, Am I cursed to be good at everything I do? Every single thing? Except love? I tested that idea, tested it with my tongue like I was poking at a toothache. And then I moved on, busied myself with something, anything, and managed to never answer that question.
I still remember. I still savor the little details. Like how he'd get manicures to combat the grease under his nails from working on his truck. How in spite of this girly indulgence he was the most masculine man I've ever known. The tiny mole on the side of his nose, the inky color of his hair and the way he carelessly tucked it behind his ear, where it curled under his earlobe like punctuation. How the skin on his face was impossibly smooth and deliciously pale. How he called me "honey" and made it sound like my name. The way he insisted on holding my hand while he drove. How if I fell asleep in the car he'd wake me up by driving over the rumble strips. That he adored candied peaches. How he'd sit me between his knees and run his fingers through my hair, never hurting me even as he worked tangles out of the mane I rarely brushed. That he always smelled like dryer sheets.
Best of all? How we could be anywhere - at a frat party teeming with people, in a crowded bar, or even mired in a sea of elementary school kids in the dinosaur room at the Museum of Natural History - yet when he caught my eye and grazed my elbow with his fingertips, I felt like we were the only two creatures in the universe.
And for a while? For a while we were.

1) For Silent Install:
a) You can record your menu selections in the PTC.Setup installation utility in a trail file to replay them at a later time: <dir>\setup.exe -uilog
b) To replay the PTC.Setup trail file, you must first rename the trail file using the <filename>.txt naming convention. For example, rename the pc_trl.txt.1 file to install.txt. To replay the trail file, use this new file name with the -uitrail argument at the command prompt:
<dir>\setup.exe -uitrail install.txt
2) For Silent Uninstall:
You can create and use the PTC.Setup trail file to uninstall Pro/ENGINEER. Create the PTC.Setup trail file as follows:
<loadpoint>\uninstall\i486_nt\obj\psuninst.exe <loadpoint>\uninstall\instlog.txt -uilog
Use the trail file to uninstall Pro/ENGINEER as follows:
