faux real? that's so....electroclash. i dig it heartily, of course, and would like to buy any merchandise that may be available.

anyone who applied to deep springs DEFINITELY needs to apply to st. john's. in the words of jacob, "it's like deep springs only with less pitchforks and more vaginas." i really wanted to write some eloquent paragraph to convince all you guys to apply and then go there and we can all have fatty parties and get drunk while discussing philosophy together, but then i was like "wait! i just remembered! i'm not eloquent, and none of the taspers like drinking OR philosophy as much as i do!" (except for maybe bryan, that crazy colorado savage.) but. i was trying to describe what i liked so much about it, and i realized that all the things i've been looking at in colleges - class size, majors, advising, living communities - were all factors that i hoped would contribute to creating a type of environment that was exactly what i saw at st. john's. ugh that was the most obnoxious sentence i've ever written. anyway the point is that even if you're like "eh" about the school (like i was a few weeks ago) if you can get a chance to visit you should.

ooh yay new tasp topics. what we're all really waiting for is the brochure though. like yablon (i can't refer to you as alex anymore, there's no reason why not) i think the michigan topic is too broad. the cornell I one sounds like a lot of old english/shakespeare type stuff, which i am definitely not sophisticated enough for. which leaves cornell II and austin. of course, it's mighty hard to beat the adpi house, but my hypothetical year-younger self (who, somehow, has the tasp experience anyway) is somewhat tempted by the glamour and allure of ithaca. don't get me wrong, i loved austin (and the adpi house!) and every single one of you, but sometimes i wonder about how cool it would have been to have 16 more amazingly talented bright and ridiculously cool people in the house. then again, as yablon (it's set, you'll never be alex again) pointed out, there would have been fewer opportunities to get to know people. but - more people to talk shit about, which i freely admit is my only real talent. anyway i had a question that went here, but it was really bad so i deleted it. i'm ass-terrible at asking questions anyway (because i'd much rather just talk about myself, as you all know) and there's a couple of really good ones up already, so i'll answer those.

like tara, i will also readily vote for whomever the democratic candidate may be (any flirtations i had with third-party affiliation were scared out of me by the events of this past presidency), but for a much lazier reason - i won't be eligible to vote until after the primaries, so i've paid no attention to the democratic nomination race. how much do i suck, huh? although i did follow every sordid detail of the recent recall here. look man, if it ain't got a kennedy or groping allegations, you're not getting me to tune in.

natashia, i heart blake. the beats loved him, didja know? tell me more about this colorado business - i couldn't find a whole lot on google, but i know enough to know that if david horowitz is behind something it's probably bad news. as for state quarters, can i implore you all to gaze upon for at least a brief second the incredibleness of alabama's state quarter:

okay. stop. scroll back. look upon it again. they have, understandably, chosen to represent their state by honoring one of its most famous natives - but, the artist, in completing the admittedly difficult task of fitting his depiction onto the one inch diameter canvas, HAS CUT OFF HELEN KELLER'S LEGS. there is nothing in your pocket funnier than that right now - i'm sorry, but the u.s. mint has pulled off the punchline to the best helen keller joke ever.

and with that bit of crassness, i'm going to bed. happy thanksgiving everyone (tae-yeoun! have you still never tasted turkey?)
