This is the worst one I've seen.
luciwithani:
I hope Rick Santorum gets all settled under the covers in the perfect spot in the middle of the bed at the perfect temperature with the perfect pillow ratio and then realizes he left the stove on.
I mean, that feeling is the worst feeling.

I hope Rick Santorum gets “Sexy and I Know It” stuck in his head and never gets it out.

the hairpin: motivation →
There’s been tons of talk recently on how being sleepy or drunk can increase your creative output, but getting drunk is actually best for eliminating self-doubt. In the same way that you’ll find yourself chatting away to strangers in a bar after a few drinks, having a couple of glasses of wine makes it much easier to get started on that one scary task that’s stopping you from making progress on...
fatmanatee:
I got the chicken teriyaki sandwich at subway and all their sandwich “artists” kept asking me what i wanted on it. I said “I don’t know just make it like the picture” and they said “but we can add whatever you want” and I was like “oh geez, I think I see cucumbers there, and maybe green peppers. Lettuce and tomato.” And they also said “do you want cheese?” and I was like “CHEESE?!?”...

I know you’re not supposed to like this moment in the movie, but I’ve always loved it.
Are you a funny drunk?

Planned Parenthood Action Fund asks women to pick the most outrageous, offensive, ridiculous and flat-out unbelievable comment made by a man about women’s health in the past TWO WEEKS. Just in the past TWO WEEKS. All of these whack-a-doodle statements were made in the past TWO WEEKS. Click the link for videos.

Jonathan Franzen, Edith Wharton, and the Problem... →
When Franzen discusses Wharton’s books, he’s insightful and curious. I particularly like his exploration of why he wants Wharton’s characters–and literary characters in general–to get what they want, even if they want things about which he has ethical and moral qualms: more money, social status, a loveless but secure marriage. The vehemence of their desires is contagious. Eventually, they become...

NPR's The Record - Rihanna's 'Birthday Cake':... →
The songs Rihanna has chosen to record, and has sometimes co-written, are not ones I play for my own daughter (though yes, she’s heard them on the radio, and we’ve talked about them). They’re rarely, if ever, feel-good anthems encouraging self-empowerment. Rihanna has basically abandoned such efforts, ceding that ground to her friends Katy Perry and Beyonce. Instead,...

Bill Cunningham on relationships
Interviewer: So I'm going to ask you two very personal questions... you may or may not want to answer. It's completely up to you. But have you ever had a romantic relationship in your entire life?
Bill Cunningham: Now, do you want to know if I'm gay?
Interviewer: Yes.
Bill Cunningham: Isn't that a riot? Well, that's probably why the family wanted to keep me out of the fashion world. They wouldn't speak of such a thing. No. I haven't.
Interviewer: Never in your entire life?
Bill Cunningham: No. It never occurred to me. I guess I just was interested in clothes. That's the obsession. It's probably a little peculiar.
Interviewer: Is that something you regret?
Bill Cunningham: No. I wouldn't even think about it. No, I don't regret it. There was no time. I was working night and day. I mean, I don't know when you'd... Uh, no, it was... And in my family, uh, things like that were never discussed. So it never... It wasn't even in my head or my mind. I wouldn't have known a thing about it. So they needn't have worried.
Interviewer: You've had good friends.
Bill Cunningham: A few people that I've known. Yes. Yeah. Uh... People that... Oh, you mean... Just friends. Oh, Yeah. Yeah. No, I have friends... It's just, I suppose I've... I don't know. You can't be in love with your work, but I enjoyed it so much that it didn't... Yeah. But hey, listen, I am human.
