I developed some film today! I’ve been using the 35mm adapter for my Diana+ since screwing up 35mm film is way cheaper than with 120mm. Because 35mm is so much smaller than the area I’m used to using with my digital camera, all my pictures show about half of what I thought they would. Awesome! Haha.
This was in Soho when I went to NYC for a day on my DC trip.
I used to like the Super Bowl because, as an ad major, it meant we would spend the next day watching and talking about the ads in all of my classes. (Although it’s not as if we were doing hard work on any other day of class.) Otherwise, football is the worst sport ever, and I care much more about having an excuse to eat a bunch of junk food than I ever will about any NFL team. I’m also too weirdly obsessed with pop culture to miss out on a night of potential wardrobe-malfunctions.
That being said, the game tonight was actually really good. I decided to cheer for the Saints, only because I actually knew who two of the players were (Pierre Thomas played for Illinois and Reggie Bush is dating Kim Kardashian). Whatever. Ended up being a good choice.
I also liked a lot of the ads, more than I had the past few years. Particularly, the Google one above, Dove for men, the Audi Green Police, and this Coke one. Yeeeah, advertising!

Seriously, this is happening in this day and age? Are these people proud that they are being blatantly racist? And that their only opinions of our president are bad—simply because of his ethnic background? Where am I? What do these people even know about Islam, socialism, what it would be like growing up in a family that isn’t able to afford good healthcare, or being anything other than white, middle-class, hetero, Christians? Nothing? Right.
So embarrassing. :(
More here.
This is a really excellent article about the Internet.
ChatRoulette cracks me up, such a weird and awesome idea. Cool article!

From Black Out Korea. Readers submit pics of people who have passed out around Korea, a common sight I have captured myself, in fact.
Cashew and lemon pesto, ooh!
Walnut and basil phyllo rolls
Chocolate baklava, omg
So good
After living in Korea and using my kitchen about five times, I forgot that I used to cook a ton. So I pulled out my old cookbooks and whipped up a few recipes this week. Gotta take advantage of having an oven and unlimited access to any ingredient I could possibly want before I head back to Korea!
I am fascinated by this building.
It is a massive hotel in Pyongyang that has been under construction for over 20 years since North Korea has no money to finance it or materials to build with. It will be the second-tallest hotel in the world when it is supposed to be finished in 2012—in a country with hardly any tourism or need for hotels. And it’s so ugly.
From Wikipedia:
“It was added to maps and North Korean postage stamps before it was half-finished. After the building’s concrete hardened, it was discovered that the elevator shafts were crooked, therefore preventing elevators from being able to operate in the building.”
So weird.

I feel that I might be in the minority here, but I love Sarah Silverman and am excited for her new season to start tonight.
Jeff Wall, The Flooded Grave
I went to the new Modern Wing at the Art Institute of Chicago on Friday. It was awesooome. Too bad I was dumb and didn’t realize they closed at 5, meaning I only got to hang out for about an hour and a half.
THAT IS THE COOLEST PIECE THERE, HANDS DOWN. also i may be completely retarded for not knowing this but how come none of your posts show up on my dashboard? i am sad. :(:(:( <——seeeee?
Hahaha. They probably aren’t showing up because you might have only added lauralikes, which is a stupid tumblr I made a long time ago and then stopped using and is now stuck as my main one. You have to go to Laura All Over and add it there.
:):):)
