Living at Casa BBC.
Yeah, OK. So here is Tuesday night at casa K/S:
I call desperately from the office at 7 pm, famished and tired, for the other casa member to come get me, and maybe we’ll pick up takeout on the way because he has cooked every day and I feel bad.
That happens. We eat Malaysian takeout and bitch about work.
We finish and clean up. I go upstairs and continue to work. He is playing...

So, walking home from work just now, I saw a Royal Wedding House party, with life size cutout images of William and Catherine. In center city Philadelphia.

This meeting sucks. It is like a thousand degrees in here, the “movie” is boring as heall, and no offense guys but parents are the most annoying piece of the public education system. I am about ready to fall asleep here.
This is why you should check your questions!

We are going to Bulgaria and Greece in May.
B will meet my family and have a grand time in the Balkans. I can barely wait!!
Last night, I came home late after a work trip.
B had washed my dishes, bought me flowers for no reason at all, and was eating leftovers, with my cat propped up against his leg.
There was no other place I’d rather be.

love
I am in love.
It’s so much different from what it used to be. From what I thought it was.
So much, so much.
Sometimes I just sit and think about it,
but most of the time.
I am just … in love.

Stop looking to the World Cup for history lessons. It’s just a game and, frankly, that’s good enough.

The Data-Driven Life →
givemesomethingtoread:
For a long time, only one area of human activity appeared to be immune. In the cozy confines of personal life, we rarely used the power of numbers. The techniques of analysis that had proved so effective were left behind at the office at the end of the day and picked up again the next morning. The imposition, on oneself or one’s family, of a regime of objective record...
Top 10
Last night, Brandon ranked Chelsea in the top 10 of cats, ever. He also ranked one of his parents’ two cats, Spike, in the top 10 of cats, ever.
It was an excellent moment, one of those relationship inflection points after which everything is instantaneously, albeit impalpably, better.

Happy the Man
by Horace
Happy the man, and happy he alone, He who can call today his own: He who, secure within, can say, Tomorrow do thy worst, for I have lived today. Be fair or foul or rain or shine The joys I have possessed, in spite or fate, are mine. Not Heaven itself upon the past has power, But what has been, has been, and I have had my hour.

Rabbits are supposed to be easy to kill. The French dispatch them with a sharp knife to the throat. A farmer in upstate New York swears that a swift smack with the side of the hand works. Others prefer a quick twist of the neck. It didn’t seem so easy at the rabbit-killing seminar held in a parking lot behind Roberta’s restaurant in the Bushwick section of...

A model of how to live in a city

Woke up to a stomach ache and the knowledge of six things which might have caused it, among them anxiety and beer. This is a shitty way to start. A shitty way, my friends.
We humans are wired to want the unattainable. Crave for the things outside our reach. I used to love fantasies. The further away from the realm of the possible, the more desirable they were to me.
This evening, I find myself burning with desire. But not for something distant. On the contrary. For something so close, that I can almost feel its breath down my spine. And the closer the time...
