TTYN TTYN TTYN TTYN TTYN. TTYN. JK TTYL.

so pretty much there's a lot of internet slang that i don't understand and therefore am not a fan of. (actually, i guess i've never been a big supporter of acronyms in general. exception: roygbiv.) anyways, i decided to invent a self-proclaimed rorschach test of the internet slang variety. basically this was inspired by all the times i've seen tweets and tumblr posts and have not been able to figure out what the eff people are talking about, but then have been too lazy to look up. which usually leaves me no other choice but to guess what the letters might stand for. usually i am wrong. par exemple:

ftw: fuck the world.
gpoy: girl power of yore.
smh: shit! my head!
pma: pumas: maul, attack.

if you must use internet slang (hopefully in an ironic and hilarious way), here are some acronyms i support: nbd. omg. brb. wtf. (but you have to say all of them out loud like en bee dee and oh em gee and bee are bee and double you tee eff). THE END.

this thing that happened to me one time but not really though but i wish it did kind of.

did you ever see how rednecks say “nay-ow” for “now”. i did one time. and also “wawnt” for “want”. “ah wawnt eet nay-ow.” i saw like a whole redneck family today and i followed them around or maybe they followed me around too but i don’t think they did though. because sometimes i turn invisible when i go to stores but only on wednesdays and leap years. and one of the rednecks had glasses and i always think that’s funny when rednecks have glasses. none of their necks were really red though i don’t think. and then they said hey do you want to hang out with us and i said yeah sure okay and so we did and now i am in their redneck family and we sit in rocking chairs and say “nay-ow” all the time. and we are really good at bad words and living in terrible places because we don’t even think they’re so terrible because nothing is terrible when you have satellite tv and four-wheel drive. and we do have all of those things. THE END.

sometimes i feel so lethargic that i disintegrate.

skins series five episode two. metal mania.

this episode kind of sucked. i've come to realize that if you ain't got the stonem family then you ain't got skins. i really do enjoy the new glitched out theme tune, though, so if nothing else just watch that part.

beatz and bleepz: the modular edition

well hello there and sorry for my (roughly) week-long hiatus. i've been very busy mary tyler moore-ing the shit out of new york city. for real though...i'm not even dead yet, AND i already have landed not one, not two, but THREE jobs. one of which is w/ modular as an intern, hence this week's beatz and bleepz is going to be partially influenced by the stack of cd's i got as a signing bonus. you'll notice these are pretty slowed down tracks, probably reflective of the week i wish i'd had...the last one is especially good for those late night situations where you want people to get the eff out yo house:

slowburn-photek
i know (com truise rmx)-franklin
night skys-thrillkill
so high-van she
ask yourself-julio bashmore
golden wings-bag raiders
shews untied-kill them with colour

bonus for the sake of everyone out there mtm'ing nyc:
