30 Songs You’d Probably Hear In Eric Forman’s Basement

Kindle

Kitty and Red are upstairs watching variety shows. The gang is downstairs in the basement. Rock ‘n’ roll runs the world, and disco is the anti-Christ.

Picture it: Point Place, Wisconsin, the 1970s. Eric Forman and his best friends Hyde, Kelso, Donna, Fez, and Jackie are hanging out in his basement. It’s time to sit on the broken couch and discuss what happened that day at school, eat a popsicle from the freezer, or light up and sit in the circle. It's the '70s and the gang is living a typical suburban life of nothingness; one of them walks toward the curtain near the basement door to pick an album from the little shelf. Cue the record.

The Most Adorable Mugshot Ever Is Also Fake

Kindle

I know 19th-century France was NO joke, but even this would be too extreme.

OK, so this is definitely the cutest mug shot ever; the photo (taken in 1893) is of François Bertillon, a 23-month-old toddler, who was “arrested” on charges of gluttony — for “nibbling all the pears from a basket.”

Fortunately for François, he was spared the guillotine since this mug shot is a fake. The image was taken by his father Alphonse Bertillon a French police officer who created and standardized the modern mug shot.

Life Stories: An Interview With Gary Shteyngart, Author Of “Little Failure”

Kindle

The author talks about growing up in Russia and New York city, nicknames, and his new memoir, Little Failure .

On the Life Stories podcast (available on iTunes), memoir writers talk about their lives and the art of writing memoir. Recently, Gary Shteyngart came on to talk about Little Failure, where the acclaimed novelist writes candidly about his Russian childhood, emigrating to New York City in the 1980s and becoming a Reaganite youth, then a stoner whose college nickname, based on the depth and breadth of his substance consumption, was “Scary Gary,” until a close friend finally convinced him to clean up his act in his late twenties.

Below are some highlights from that conversation — the entirety of which you can listen to right here:

Life Stories: Gary Shteyngart, author of Little Failure

Via beatrice.com

On the title:

“'Little Failure' was my mother's nickname for me. It's really a combination of English and Russian, “Failurchka” — failure is the English part, -chka is a diminutive meaning little. I had just graduated from Oberlin College, I was writing my first book and my mother was pressuring me to go to law school. I was living in this little studio apartment with many friendly roaches and, you know, not much in the way of savings, so to emphasize how she felt about my life to date, my mother nicknamed me 'Little Failure.' And it kind of stuck; I felt very much a failure for a very long time.”
