  1. @samgracelewis Would it be ok if I use some of your photos of the May Day stuff for an audio slide show I'm working on re: The Strand?
  2. Check out my latest pick for NPR's Song of the Day: "Oh Canyon" by Fenster - n.pr/JLWvoF Schadenfreude in a song.
  3. I'm thinking you haven't made it until Twitter decides it wants to verify the authenticity of your account and grant you a blue check mark.
  4. @girlsHBO @LenaDunham Want to watch, but I don't have HBO because I am a 25-YO in NY who works retail and cannot afford cable. Come on.
  5. @girlsHBO Who in the target audience for this show has HBO? And why doesn't the HBO site offer a pay-per-show option online. #Marketingfail
  6. @FdotStokes hmm well I'll try to get it right next time. (Crepes are super easy to make at home, by the way.)
  7. @FdotStokes I recognized you from a Sofar Show over pie today, but didn't say hi. I suppose this is probably creepier though. Oops.
  8. @idislikestephen Got 'em three years ago! npr.org/templates/stor… I know. You're so impressed, right? I hope your week is going well!
  9. Wow this new Yann Tiersen video is dark - youtube.com/watch?v=ukAzlm…
  10. MT @Supercuts: Join us for FREE HAIRCUTS @BrooklynVegan's Hotel Vegan from 12-7 today. @mnemonicdevice holy crap free haircuts!
  11. @mikekatzif aww back when there was still hope in that heart. Too bad there was such a slim chance for an affirming outcome with that movie.
  12. @strandbookstore Ugh. I cringe when I see it. Strikes me as a cheap gimmick--one that will make the book seem painfully outdated in 5 years.
  13. @jamessocol Same. Hope to see you around the hood.
  14. @S___Elliott Curious - has anyone in the Letters group included a return address? Just signed up and writing a blog post about the program.
  15. @emusic Not really into holiday music unless it's "Songs for Christmas" by Sufjan.
  16. Are you saying there's a possibility that Julie wasn't a Mormon?! bit.ly/mY5eQh
  17. Best name for a column about bisexuality: Bi-Line. Someone needs to get on that.
  18. Sometimes I wonder if, in eating something with peanut butter on the train, I might inadvertently kill someone. Then, I eat it anyway.
  19. And now, a commercial from our sponsor. Holy crap. I can't wait to try out my new toys. bit.ly/sym6up and bit.ly/vCJfOs
  20. @danielclowes - nailed it. bit.ly/vpEQql (And I work at The Strand.)
