Sweetness and Light

Is there anything I can do/take for a runny nose ish that you've found especially effective?

is when I take a nap and get drool down my chin and on the blanket, making a cute little damp spot.

Return your internet crushes to the left, please.

Piers: Let me tell you, before AIDS, sex was like shaking hands.
Abed: Hence AIDS.

This Supernatural episode is already ridiculous.

Ode to Divorce — Regina Spektor

you’re eating something minty and you’re making that face that I love

breakupsong:

You’re gonna cry, cry, cry and you’ll want me there,
It’ll hurt when you think of the fool you’ve been.
You’re gonna cry, cry, cry.

It’s nice to believe, isn’t it?

midnight, by me.

in Pasternak’s house, there is no one.
in this house, there is no one.
but there is no future for this doorway.
besides, my garments afford me little grace with which to welcome you.

there are eight thousand things that have broken my heart—
the sink leaking for the third time
in as many days, for example.
my utilities take to heart the theory
that repetition can catch catch catch attention.

that has never seemed to work for me.
every corner reveals the lack of you,
but the cotton that surrounds my thought says:
have you left yet?
come say goodbye.
have you left yet?

come say goodbye.

There'll be no one in the house, by Boris Pasternak.

There’ll be no one in the house
Save for twilight. All alone,
Winter’s day seen in the space that’s
Made by curtains left undrawn.

Only flash-past of the wet white
Snowflake clusters, glimpsed and gone.
Only roofs and snows, and save for
Roofs and snow - no one at home.

Once more, frost will trace its patterns,
I’ll be haunted once again
By my last-year’s melancholy,
By that other wintertime.

Once more I’ll be troubled by an
Old, un-expiated shame,
And the icy firewood famine
Will press on the window-pane.

But the quiver of intrusion
Through those curtain folds will run
Measuring silence with your footsteps,
Like the future, in you’ll come.

You’ll appear there in the doorway
Wearing something white and plain,
Something in the very stuff from
Which the snowflakes too are sewn.

“Sorrow is better than laughter: for by the sadness of the countenance the heart is made better.”

- Ecclesiastes 7:3

Sometimes I look up Bible quotes that have to do with how I feel. I don’t know. It’s like looking up stuff in a really comprehensive advice column.

I'd just like to say thank you to Natface publicly.

She did an asskicking proofreading job on my portfolio.

Oh, no problem! Weirdly, I genuinely enjoy a good proofread. You’re going to do gangbuster.

You can’t make every client they defend on this show innocent. Sometimes guilty people need defense lawyers too!

So this probably isn’t appealing at all, but I’m in kind of a bad place, and does anyone want a email with some dramz?

GPOYW: Halloween pictures finally. I went as Sally Jupiter, or Silk Spectre I, and my costume was comfortable and well-fitting for once, and in addition I got to wear a garter belt/stockings combo that made me feel like a 40s pin-up.

I’m mature.

I would make fun of this more if I hadn’t totally set it up.

WHY DO BEARS LOOK LIKE THAT?!

I can’t bear to have them on my Tumblr, but just know that every time one comes up, I die a little inside.

I’ve just realised this is how I know the verb “to expectorate”. All the greatest intellectuals get their vocabulary from Disney films.

I got the word “egregious” from Hercules. I was so enamored of Hades’s intelligence.

Why does it feel like my whole life is going to be a journey to get back there?

okay, yes, Gossip Girl.

clearly a just-elected politician, who has been claiming to be honest and change the game and is the object of a lot of public scrutiny, would be seen grabbing drinks with an underage teen. Blergh.
