There Can Only Be One

Time Magazine has resorted to co-opting NBA playoff ad campaigns as quasi-SNL sketches for their covers. And I have to say, it's such an awesome idea.

My Cousin on High School

I found this old disc of files from the computer I had in high school: pictures, rap songs I made (yikes), and sub Dawson's Creek IM conversations I had. It left me nostalgic, in the bad way: oddly unclean and uncomfortable. So I decided to solicit an expert's advice, as a way to sort out my deja vu. My 15 year old cousin Emily, a high schooler herself, dispensed this wisdom:

me: high school's a weird time man
emily: oh jesus
me: how are you dealing with it
emily: idk lol fine ig
emily: idk idk
emily: lol w/e

So good.

I am pretty confident that an unacknowledged influence on Johnny Depp's terrifying performance as Willy Wonka in Charlie and the Chocolate Factory was Tim Russert. Just in terms of gleefully creepy and pompous facial expressions.
