Catching Elephant is a theme by Andy Taylor
3D approximations of dorm rooms are now available on my college’s website. Fun fun!

Tweet of the Day: What you did there: I see it.

A place I’d like to call my own.
Sign of being raised in L.A.: this place is not earthquake-safe.
Taught my computer to play an uncut, uninterrupted Pandora stream.
By which I mean I downloaded Pithos. Same diff.

No, no, I think you’re a bit confused, that’s just how you get to Georgia.
I tried it and it doesn’t work. Aw.
Billboard: “When Jesus said, ‘Love your enemies,’ I think he probably meant don’t kill them.”

OneUnited bank is a major bummer
Lack of access to financial services (as opposed to pay day lenders) is a major obstacle for many low-income Americans as they try to establish financial security and save for their children. OneUnited was one of a few banks that claimed to focus on low-income minority populations who otherwise have little access to banking, and therefore little access to small-business lending and college saving accounts.
Unfortunately for a good chunk of the Los Angeles, Boston, and Miami areas, where OneUnited has its branches, OneUnited is coming under investigation for improper use of bank funds, including the payment of the owner’s mortgage and sports car lease.
This scrutiny has come upon the bank in connection to a scandal involving Congresswoman Maxine Waters of South L.A., whose husband was on the board of OneUnited at the time her staff was lobbying for protections for the bank.
Another bad day in banking for low-income, minority Main Street.
UNRELEASED: Ke$ha - Goodbye
Ke$ha before she was Ke$ha. Her voice sounds amazing on this track.
See, now, this is what she needs to release. This is the kind of music she needs to share with the world, not those drunk songs! This is lovely! It has an Alanis Morissette vibe to it! <3
She’s so much better when she sings this kind of song. <3
Her voice is cool!
Using LaTeX to write a Calc BC study guide for use this fall: genius way to combine LaTeX practice and annoying math obligations.
Music recommendations
I’m looking to “add diversity” to my Pandora station.
It’s based on Kid Cudi, Janelle Monae, MSTRKRFT, Miike Snow, Ratatat, Steve Aoki, LMFAO, Daddy Yankee, the Fugees, Daft Punk etc.
I like dance-able music that’s upbeat, with a strong bass, a little hip-hop-y. But nothing angry/insane (MSI) or too… light.
Most of my Tumblr people have excellent music taste.
What should I add?
