Internets Shira Laza, trendsetter, has joined the illustrious ranks of Julia Allison and Cary Randolph – she is posting pics of her luggage. http://twitpic.com/xhth2 – This is what happens when your bag explodes from 3 weeks of back and forth traveling! 12:00 AM Jan 10th from TwitPic I still fail to see the point of these posts. Why do we all need to know that you got home from traveling, were too tired to deal with your bags, and just emptied them on your floor? I don’t understand how this is endearing, or engaging, or interesting. It’s pretty much what everyone does after a trip (well, not me, I pretty much sort it into laundry and put Crap away, but I don’t like Crap all over my floor.) I’m assuming this is some kind of trend for this crowd, because I’m seeing more and more pictures of luggage. Have we come to this, internets? As you know, we here at GOMIBLOG have one of those stupid formspring things. It’s handy for a website like this, were people have questions about things we can’t do full posts about. I don’t have one for myself, though. Personally I wouldn’t enjoy it because I think it shows a level of narcissism that even twitter can’t match. I really hate how everyone suddenly has questions about themselves popping up on their tumblrs from I suppose random readers of their…tumblrs. Ya know, because having a blog where you write about yourself day in and day out just isn’t enough; now we need to get strangers to help us perfect the skill of exposing ourselves online. Well, that rant over, here is a perfect example of formspring being used to give some tumblr slug’s ego a handjob: brittanyabeijon asked: You are a great writer! Did you go to school for journalism? Thank you! I declared a journalism major at the beginning of my freshman year but switched after a semester to study English and creative writing. Add a history major to that et voila! 100% nerd with a quick pen. Is this chick for real? Has she read any of Cary’s crap? Any of it? Other questions from her ‘readers’ include telling Cary she has a great sense of style (lulzilepsy) and where does she shop! Bidges please. I guess I just don’t understand why these idiots can’t just EMAIL Cary and ask her this crap, and she can answer personally and privately? Oh yeah, because then the whole world wouldn’t know that someone thinks she’s Emily Bronte. Congrats, with formspring you’ve gone from sort of boring and full of yourself to full on self-involved mirror hog.
Rachel Sklar, Editor At Sklarge and disco nap for your soul, is heading back east after doing something out west: Last day in Mediaite’s West Coast Bureau… http://tweetphoto.com/8385010 4 minutes ago from UberTwitter I didn’t even know they had Mediablight offices on the west coast, but I’m renowned for talking Crap about things I have no idea about. She’s had a good time – she made some new friends, she tweeted that Who’s The Boss girl, and she told me to put a sock in my twittermouth. But alas, awesome times end, and as the Pacific coast residents gather with tears and flowers, Sklarge had to say goodbye to family and head back to…Sklarging, I suppose. OT, was everyone at CES? Seems like half the internet attended. Following rumors of a maybe going to happen proposal, The Amazing Karpov posted what I can only hope is part of Rachel’s vows: I want Breakfast for Dinner, but Rachel doesn’t want Breakfast for Dinner. Compromise: Lunch for Dinner. They will be the internet’s most famous post-ironic meta couple, mark my words. Peter Feld, last surviving knight to guard the Holy Grail, is concerned about your lack of interest in New York senate stuff (it’s the senate, right? What, I didn’t read it): Something is fundamentally wrong with New Yorkers’ level of civic engagement when even Julia Allison can barely move a Gawker story about New York state politics. Just under 300 more pageviews gets a flame for Pareene’s post about her ex possibly challenging Gillibrand, come on gang! What has Gawker come to when even a mention of Julia Allison can’t get the readers in a political tizzy? What’s it going to take, people? A mention of Julia Allison on The Awl??? Sarah Lacy is having problems with yet another visa. Instead of taking this as a sign that perhaps the rest of the planet wants her to stay home, she decided to tweet about how the international visa system could make this easier for her: thanks to *further* visa problems i’m USA-stuck until mid feb. 🙁 about 2 hours ago from web i have never been denied a visa. the hoops are just insane. US needs to take the lead & create a better global visa system for biz travelers about 2 hours ago from web lemme be clear for non-english speakers: i am criticizing the lack of a global visa system, citing the US as the biggest problem. about 2 hours ago from web Obviously Sarah Lacy is being punished because the US has a strict visa policy which is pissing off the entire planet. It is America’s responsibility to put a system in place so Sarah Lacy doesn’t have to do paperwork or turn Crap in on time like a normal person just to go to Ecuador. She’s busy, ok? Make this easier for her! America should be embarrassed by its epic fail system!
