Facebook Friend Psychology

Facebook friend is a psychologist.  Let's just say his name is Sigmund F.
Status: [Dr. F] is completely obsessed with OCD right now.
Comment:    [Sigmund,] I keep coming back to this status update over and over again because I know that will keep you safe and if I don't, you might get hurt.


Misplaced this one somehow, Pheas.  Thanks once again.

Cupcake Cake

I don't know if this is anti-meta, meta-squared, de-meta, re-meta or what...but it's metaprime some kind of way!

The maxi cupcake, an anti-meta to ...
...the mini birthday cake ??

27bslash6 Simile Simile

From David Thorne, who just admitted that he had dyed his hair once:

The product, misrepresented as 'Natural Black' instead of 'Astro Boy black', turned my hair as dark as an adequate simile describing just how black it actually was and stained my forehead and ears purple.

Is it live or is it Memorex?

From: "Tube Tied:  The Comeback and the Radical Notion that Women are Human" by Michelle Dean

http://bitchmagazine.org/post/tube-tied-the-comeback-and-the-radical-notion-that-women-are-human

Re: The Comeback, a 2005 HBO series in which Lisa Kudrow plays a former sitcom star (Valerie) who is trying to stage a comeback with a linked sitcom and reality show.

The “real” show, the one we watch, is a tad meta: it is presented as an extended version of the footage being taped for the reality show. This draws out a fragmented performance from Kudrow, who is usually playing a Valerie aware that she’s performing Valerie for the reality show (someone’s making some noise about performativity in my ear), but occasionally she slips, forgets what she’s doing. And the Valerie that comes through in those moments is less smiley, less calculating—more desperate.
And meta within meta: Lisa Kudrow herself being cast in this role?

Collections of Collections

Sparky, describing a furnished model home with the bookcase decor:

"a collection of those very Reader's Digest Condensed Books collections.  (Yes, a collection of collections.)" 


Thanks, Sparky!
