The Quiet World
In an effort to get people to look
into each other’s eyes more,
and also to appease the mutes,
the government has decided
to allot each person exactly one hundred
and sixty-seven words, per day.
When the phone rings, I put it to my ear
without saying hello. In the restaurant
I point at chicken noodle soup.
I am adjusting well to the new way.
Late at night, I call my long distance...
“I like people too much or not at all.”

This….might have just given me a new fear. Mind blowing.
Pray, think about, donate, wish, hope. Do whatever you can.

This is an awesome service and the guy who runs it is super nice. Buy some quality shit made out of the stuff that you photograph!
Caveat: I don’t know the guy personally, but I chatted with him and he appears to be a nice guy.

Fault.
I think there was a small earthquake in/around my hood today. When I got home from work I found the following:
1. I have a ginormous-halfway-to-the-ceiling stack of empty boxes against the wall from purchasing Christmas gifts (and hair products) and not throwing them out yet. This pile was all over the goddamn place along with its myriad packing products. There is styrofoam everywhere.

Article on yesterday's Mass and wedding in Tahrir →
silverqueen:
On Friday, the holy day for Islam, Christian protesters in Tahrir Square joined hands to form a protective cordon around their Muslim countrymen so they could pray in safety.
Sunday, the Muslims returned the favor.
They surrounded Christians celebrating Mass in Cairo’s central plaza, ground zero for the secular pro-democracy protests reverberating throughout the Middle East.

Agreed. This is spot on.
I’d like to first find someone who I’d like to have babies with. And then I’ll go from there.

Excellent read.
This is a good read. Recommend!

Oh, that’s badass.

I had a nice even lovely beautiful number of followers, small though it may have been, it was my number.
Now it has been lowered by one.
Sad everything.

Stay classy.
I just burped very unexpectedly and not quietly at my desk in my library-volume-level office. I coughed by no one was buying it.
lady88 asked: I think we're "suuposed" to all be "too cool" to like his mainstream'edness (yes this is a word I just made up) but I could care less. He knows how to write some love songs. Who cares if it's not the coolest, most cutting edge music out there, I like it.

Great tips and words of PURE FUCKING TRUTH. Also, I am forever ruined by my measuring-tape-free fitting in NYC last month (thanks, Jen). I can’t really afford over $100 for a bra in real life, but how do I go back to shitty Victoria’s Secret crap now? My life is hard…
They have cheaper items as well, plus, do a cost analysis. How much use do you get out of them? See?...

I have just watched my first episode of Inside The Actors Studio. How have I been missing this gem all these years? This shit is great.
So far I’ve watched Ricky Gervais and I’m about halfway through the Dave Chappelle, who else should I queue up?

Dear citizens of Chicago,
Thank you VERY MUCH for either not coming in to work today or just plain staying out of the way of my commute. There is really no reason at all that I should have been on time today, and I mean none. Before I even left the house I felt doomed but, strangely, once my trip was underway it was a Moses-style journey directly to my desk.
Not sure if most of you took a...
