In Things You Should See…That I’m Not Going To Make Separate Posts For

- Based on the popular Twitter Handle, this video is now making me re-evaluate everything I say.

- Do you like previewing and downloading exclusive music legally? RCRD LBL does just that and featuring Miike Snow, Of Montreal and Moby on the front of their page. Check it out and don’t miss out on these hot tracks.

- From The Boston Globe, Nicole’s story on her transformation at a young age and sense of self is touching and so very real for many kids all over the country going through these same feelings.

- Who decided that we had to stop using the Comic Sans font? Up until junior high, this was what I thought would become my signature font (clearly I hadn’t been introduced to very many,) but these days, seeing this font means the user lacks a sense of professionalism. The Comic Sans Project has decided to replace the text in common logos and brands with this font and you know what? It’s not half-bad.

- The trailer for Men In Black 3. Does Will Smith never age?

- A very sweet story about relationships. If you’re a swooner, like me, you’re going to love it.

This graphic from Mother Jones was a little unsettling.

Lastly, bacon wrapping paper – dedicated to Meghan Elizabeth Addie Penny Lane Merita Addison.

This was kind of like an “In the News…” post, but better?

In Seattle News…

There was so much Seattle news swirling around yesterday that I decided to just make a separate post for it away from the rest of the pop culture news going on in the world.

- During Bumbershoot weekend, Kevin informed me of a new car service named Uber that had just been brought to Seattle that I could use in place of taking a taxi or the bus. So how does it work exactly? Uber is an on-demand car service that will pick you up from wherever you are and take you anywhere you need to go in a sleek black car. Known as “everyone’s private driver,” Uber is a service that is all about convenience and style. If you’re a member of the service, then your payment is just charged to your credit card so no more fumbling at your dolla dolla bills! This service is great for a night out, but is also the safer bet in place of a taxi or bus – - as suggested by Kevin.

“In Seattle, pricing currently starts with a $7 base, plus $3.75/mile distance and $0.75/mile time fees with a $12 minimum and $50 set rate for Sea-Tac.“

To learn more about the service, click here to visit their website.

[Source]

- PBS is making a documentary that will highlight Seattle’s thriving music scene. The program titled “Seattle Music…something in the water” isn’t all that clever, but will feature some of your favorite local bands including The Head & the Heart, Shabazz Palaces, Pickwick, Macklemore & Ryan Lewis and a few others. The show will air on October 21st.  [Source]

- Storefront installations will be returning to Broadway this fall/winter! The last time this happened was back when I was a freshman and back then I don’t think I was able to fully appreciate it. Storefronts Seattle will take over vacant store fronts on Capitol Hill stretching from Pine Street to Roy and will be decorating them with creative and visually pleasing installations. [Source]

- Food trucks are rolling up with a sweet surprise! Street Wheels, a new hot pink truck parked on 2nd and Pine, will be dishing out their treats every day from noon-6. Their menu features a number of ice cream sandwiches, chocolate dipped ice cream bars, and a handful of your favorite classic desserts. [Source]

- Molly Moon’s has been named the King County Executive Small Business of the Year! [Source]

- After one man stiffed a bartender last week at one of my favorite bars in Capitol Hill and then criticized her weight on the receipt, the locals went nuts. Something you should learn of the day: If you’re  going to stiff a bartender, don’t pay with a credit card. Capitol Hill locals harassed the guy via his Facebook to let him know that he is just not welcome back to our neighborhood ever again. This story got around so quick, I even found out on The Frisky shortly after the incident. Read more about what happened here and here.

In Things That Don’t Make Sense Today…

- Kanye West joins in on the Occupy Wall Street festivities while wearing a $355 Givenchy shirt and gold chains. Way to stick it to the man!

- When Kristen Stewart wasn’t able to articulate complete sentences without stammering we thought it was funny. When she decided to open up her mouth in a recent interview about her educational years, we wish she just wouldn’t.

The actress doesn’t have any nice things to say about her former teachers and actually blames them for not supporting her by preparing her packets while she was away working…

“School became genuinely uncomfortable,” she says. “I was feeling a little self-conscious about the acting thing with my peers, but also my teachers became a problem. They didn’t want to do the extra work or put packages together so I could keep up while away.”
“They failed me. My teachers failed me. Not one, but all of them. 

Wait…K. Stew – you mean they didn’t spend any extra time creating a customized lesson plan for you so that you could succeed as both a scholar and a child actress? Or…are you bitter because you are blaming them for letting you stammer all over the place in interviews? Truth hurts doesn’t it?!
