The problem with spending most of my time blogging for a place that’s so niche is I run across so many interesting things all day and I have nowhere to put them. Tumblarity is an abusive relationship and I’m not going to lie and say it doesn’t bother me just a tad to post something there and then have no one like it. It’s too much, ya’ll. My fragile heart can’t take it. So I’m going to try to post stuff here, where it is less important to receive validation. This blogging thing is such an addiction. When will I ever stop?

My headline today reads like a dieting thing. I will blog-diet my way to a more… readable Internet persona? What does Internet fame even get you these days? Besides a blog that analyzes your every move and has dozens of people calling a normal sized woman fat for not having visible ankle bones? Speaking of cankles (as someone who has a pair), I was SO HORRIFIED when I learned that term. Great, one more thing to be judged on. Trust me, I do not care about that at this point, but I do admit that I don’t ever wear shoes with ankle straps.

Anyway. What did I come here to talk about again? Oh, here, a few interesting things of note:

1. Why We Keep Dying.
I’m not cool enough to know who Dash Snow was, but apparently he died and a lot of people have things to say about it. This is an interesting blog post on how drugs keep killing people off in “the scene” and how angry the writer was at Dash for leaving a daughter behind.

2. Mixtapes for Hookers celebrates Mary Magdalene, one of my favorite ladies to study.

3. Amazon bought Zappos. I’m only telling you this because apparently everyone on Twitter feels it is their duty as an Internet Citizen to tell you this. Now I’m also telling you.

My favorite, favorite thing today is something I did post over at BravoFan. It’s Padma Lashkmi in Glitter, the Mariah Carey movie! The movie so bad that even watching it in college, WITH A FORTY (yes, you were there too once) wasn’t enough to salvage it. It was turned off in about 30 minutes. Anyway, here it is. I love the “80s” music at the beginning:
