It's 1:00am and I'm awake thinking about how my life has been stagnating for a decade. That's an astonishing number. That's 1/8th of all of the time I'll ever have. 1/6th of the time I'll have as a fully formed adult human. jfc I'm such a ****ing disappointment.
...seriously? Second episode of "LAPD Hug Time w/Sam" aired, time to milk the suckers until their teats bleed?
Did his father never pull up his pants and carry a large phone in his pocket to ruin his trouser-line, as well? Or was it just the faux-Nazi aesthetic that this little shit decided to dig up?
It was under the "Encyclopaedia Cursus Philosophici of Johann Heinrich Alsted" brand name at the time.
All dead links, though.
This book is GREAT.
Sure. The Quakers, Scientologists, Jainism, all exactly the same.
Asinine thing to say.
Goo-Mobiles.
"We must remind the American people, constantly, that we are the modern Democratic party. Advocacy has no place here. Otherwise people will expect us to *do* stuff, and that is not a step we are willing to take."
It's odd how often that happens, as well (Remi Malak, Linda Hamilton, Alexandra Paul...).
Short. Clever. Morbid.
(This joke but yes, also me)
"Most State Department officials continue to stand by their once-controversial 'Smokey, Not Hubby' "vacation with a bear" campaign.
I've also had my share of pilk, and recently learned how to safely carbonate milk, so that should be fine.
The factor about the espresso and bitter lemon that I wonder about is how the quinine and sweetness would blend with the coffee; it would either be incredibly refreshing or a nightmare.
Thinking about the possibilities of a carbonated latte and whether or not iced espresso and bitter lemon would pair well.
I love the et ligature, honestly. My real-life text (which I suppose a normal person would call "hand-writing") is full of little whorls and flourishes and the occasional bit of Unicode. I have gotten out of the habit of using ß for "ss," though, because I rarely use my bits of German.
'Delirium.'
I'm afraid I don't know the Chinese name because (and this is my great moral failing) I don't speak it and can't read it (meaning Mandarin, but also Cantonese &c.)
Yuan Mei was kind of a petty bitch about food, which is (one of the reasons) why I love him. Very "none of this $200 sprig of mint on a raw quail egg bs" but for the Qing dynasty.
(I mostly know him as a poet and literary figure, but I have the latest translation of "The Way of Eating.")
Only with dessert!
(I'm more of a Yuan Mei 袁枚 guy when it comes to gastronomy, but for a while I was reading books that Nero Wolfe mentioned reading, so Brillat-Savarin sneaked in there...)
My brain immediately put Brillat-Savarin in my head, so I'm assuming I want a cookie at the moment. ("Tell me what you eat, and I will tell you what you are.")
And I hope you're being paid by the fake oyster farmer, because otherwise this is too depressing.
I hope that you experienced joy but were also careful.
The same guy that said he didn't know that his giant Nazi tattoo was a giant Nazi tattoo? Yeah, he seems like a real trustworthy little rich boy.
Asking for help feels like facing the void and hoping it not only looks back, but lends a hand. It's terrifying.
It would spark a little joy if one of them hadn't done a bunch of extra-judicial killings and instituted the double-tap drone policy to kill first responders. But hey, USians are goldfish.
"I'm oddly upset by how many people don't know what a church bulletin is."
*me, not a watcher* Huh?
*looks it up* Fiona Dourif? HIGHLY valid response.
To be fair, as a writer, if I made as much money as GRRM I would never work again if I could help it, either.
Mark Wahlberg has a career. So there is no bottom.
It's very much giving "Fish Called Wanda" to me.
"The central message of Buddhism is not 'every man for himself!'"
As many people know, my academic background is in comparative religion. I've been actively studying it for almost 40 years.
And that is the most inane thing I have ever seen anyone say, anywhere, about any religion.
