I Get Very Emotional (More CS Crash Reports)
Maniacal Rage
Here are my most recent posts:
Anonymous asks: "no really what are you wearing? I want to see your shoe rack again, the onitsuka tigers were a good call."
My clothing consists almost entirely of the following: Diesel jeans, Ugmonk & ISO50 tees as well as some Banana Republic & AA colored tees, and J.Crew and Ben Sherman casual button-down shirts. I usually wear AA hoodies on top if it’s chilly. Shoe-wise, lately I’ve been wearing Puma El Reys and Pro Keds (yes, KEDS!). I still wear Onitsuka Tigers from time to time.
Here’s the thing about clothing: I hate shopping for it, I hate buying it, and most of all I hate having to pick out what to wear before leaving the house. I used to buy stuff all the time that I never wore and eventually donated to charity. These days, I don’t buy something unless I would willingly wear it right out of the store. Of course, due to this new method, I have about 8 shirts in total to my name. But at least I like them.
Hopefully one day down the road I’ll be able to afford to hire someone with good taste to do all my shopping for me. And then they can also dress me. God, that would be great.
Prettify* Finally Has Its Own Domain
Finally got around to doing something I meant to do more than a year ago—I moved Prettify from a simple Tumblr domain (prettify.tumblr.com) to its own real domain (prettifyit.com) where it will be from now on. All old links will automatically forward correctly.
Annoying story: When I started Prettify back in January of 2009, I searched for domains before coming up with the name and prettify dot com was available. I built the site in a few hours, launched it on Tumblr and went to buy the domain—it was taken. It seemed almost as though someone had seen that I searched for it and bought it. A year later, the same exact thing happened when I searched for a domain for That’s Not Art. Lesson: If you find a domain you want, buy it immediately.
Anonymous asks: "Do you and Shawn really have convos like that?"
Yes. Yes we do. Every conversation I’ve ever posted between Shawn and I has been real. I know that’s mind blowing since they’re so weird, but if I could give everyone a glimpse into our daily IM conversations, I would. Oh, actually, I guess we have done that before. It’s called the Maniacal Rage Podcast.
Joe Wong at the RTCA Dinner
15 minutes of awesome, deadpan comedy. Joe Wong should be more famous than he is.
WHYWHYWHY
- Me: For some reason, I almost just Twittered this: "What's it called when you try to fart and blood comes out? Oh, right, a blood fart."
- Me: That randomly just popped into my head.
- Me: WHYWHYWHY
- Shawn Morrison: You really should have.
- Shawn Morrison: But someone would have responded, "Actually, I have hemorrhoids and it's a serious medical issue. Not funny."
- Me: People are always trying to ruin my jokes.
- Shawn Morrison: Wait, what is the term for the fart where glitter comes out?
- Me: Fancy fart.
- Shawn Morrison: Thanks.
- Shawn Morrison: Writing a letter to my mother. Good timing.
Ironing Techniques By Professional Craftsmen (via lonelysandwich)

This short instructional film showcases unmatchably masterful ironing technique that we’d all do well to learn from, but it’s also one of the most absorbing, delicious demo videos I’ve ever seen.
And it’s absolutely true. This video scratches me somewhere I didn’t even realize itched.
Anonymous asks: "I like the wallpaper you have in your home office picture. Where can I get it?"
Based on how many people asked this question, I can say for certain that not nearly enough people are visiting Prettify. You fools! There are loads of awesome wallpapers over there. Including Aurora, the one I’m using in my home office post.
