You guys, this extended version of the Degrassi TNG theme song has a guest rapper.
P.S., when you were little, did you imagine that theme songs were always sung by the people on the show? I did, probably thanks to Alan Thicke and Mrs. Garrett.

Gregory Crewdson, “Beneath the Roses”
This photograph reminds me of a rainy night I spent with my parents in Scranton, Pennsylvania. It was August 20, 2007. I remember this because it was the night we spent on the road while we were in the process of moving me to New York.
Needless to say, I found Scranton a bit eerie.
HK Starbucks has some unconventional treats, it would appear. Also, when I first looked at this I was thinking in US dollars rather than Hong Kong dollars, and I had a genuine, my-dad-style moment of, “That price is OUTRAGEOUS!”

Television Personalities - Part Time Punks (via alextypical)
you guys, I haven’t heard this song since I was a freshman at UC Santa Cruz, and Josh The Lowdown gave me a Television Personalities tape. It was definitely a major sound for me for a while, but then Velvet Goldmine came out and suddenly it was all about Bobby Conn and Roxy Music.

p.s., it’s really dark outside!!
One of my posts was recently ‘liked’ by the folks at a Tumblr called A Place to Love Dogs. I recommend that you take a look! It is like the Anne Geddes of dog images crossed with the LOLcats of dog images, but with maybe less irony than the synthesis of that dialectic would entail.
