Time Out New York: 25 things to do when it's raining

jordanreid:

This weekend (on the East Coast, at least) is gearing up to be a miserable one, weather-wise. Check out this article for some NYC-area rainy-day activity ideas, including watching your favorite archived TV shows at the Paley Center for Media, making your own shabu-shabu at Swish (I just might go tonight), and shopping for vintage finds at the (indoors) Antiques Garage Flea Market.

There are so many things to do! Now someone needs to make a list like this for Vancouver…

The curious case of the Tupac poster

Very rarely do I ever come across posters I would put up in my room. When I walked into Poster World the other day and saw this one, the first thing that came to my mind was, “I want this.”

I’m not a fan of tupac. I’ve never listed to his music. I know who he is and that he was gunned down the las vegas strip after fight night, but that’s about it.

Here’s why I love this poster.

1. He’s giving the middle finger.
The middle finger thing is a little inside joke between me and my family. It doesn’t hold the same venom it might for other people; I frequently flip my family off and they always laugh because my middle finger is crooked. So, this little gesture is close to my heart in a strange, twisted, oddly amusing way.

2. He’s shirtless.
Anyone who knows me knows there are two things that will always freak me out: photos of nearly naked guys and fish. Yet, somehow, his shirtlessness does not disturb me. This is probably because he is not giving me the ever-seductive (feel my sarcasm) abercrombie “come hither” look with his eyes. Regardless, in the same way I continue to post photos of fish on this tumblr and somehow still open links Kaiti sends me that contain various degrees of unmentionable disburbidness, I want to hang a gigantic poster of this nearly naked guy on my wall.

4. You can see his underwear.
I hate when guys do this.

5. He has a gun tucked in his pants.
SO BADASS.

3. He has “THUG LIFE” written on his stomach.
There is something so deliciously ironic about an antitype of “thug life” wanting a poster of a guy with a tatto that says “THUG LIFE” across his midsection.

4. He’s smoking.
Non-smoking girl wanting a poster of a guy smoking! Irony!

5. He’s shirtless, has a tattoo that says “THUG LIFE”, is smoking, has a gun tucked into his underpants and is giving the middle finger, all in the same photo.
So many degrees of awesome, ridiculous, gangster badass going on, I can’t even take it.

Only question left is… who’s going to get this for me for my birthday?

7. Repair small holes in screen.
Plug holes with clear nail polish, let dry, repeat until filled.

Spray the stuck zipper with shaving foam.

64. Unwrinkling plastic materials.
Heat ironing board with iron, lay materials on, smooth with hands.

Definitely something to bookmark.

Twelve swimming pools worthy of your admiration

If I ever fell into pool number three, I would kill myself. The only thing that could make that more terrifying was if they put fish in it.

Pool number five looks really nice, that is until I read the caption. APPARENTLY THE SHARKS ARE CAPABLE OF JUMPING ON THE SLIDE WITH YOU. No thanks!
