And that guy was right. She just wanted to know that I still needed her, like I loved her, you know what I mean? [Dying] people, they feel “I’m alive.” They pass away at one moment. Until that moment, they are alive, and they want to be loved, and they want to give and share, you know.

Tori Amos: “China”

I have a Facebook account, but I mostly post pictures of dachshunds I enjoy. I love dachshunds, so it was a logical thing. What are you going to put up on this Facebook thing? For me, I thought, “Dachshunds!
Days We Would Rather Know

There are days we would rather know
than these, as there is always, later,
a wife we would rather have married
than whom we did, in that severe nowness
time pushed, imperfectly, to then. Whether,
standing in the museum before Rembrandt’s “Juno,”
we stand before beauty, or only before a consensus
about beauty, is a question that makes all beauty
suspect … and all marriages. Last night,
leaves circled the base of the ginkgo as if
the sun had shattered during the night
into a million gold coins no one had the sense
to claim. And now, there are days we would
rather know than these, days when to stand
before beauty and before “Juno” are, convincingly,
the same, days when the shattered sunlight
seeps through the trees and the women we marry
stay interesting and beautiful both at once,
and their men. And though there are days
we would rather know than now, I am,
at heart, a scared and simple man. So I tighten
my arms around the woman I love, now
and imperfectly, stand before “Juno” whispering
beautiful beautiful until I believe it, and—
when I come home at night—I run out
into the day’s pale dusk with my broom
and my dustpan, sweeping the coins from the base
of the ginkgo, something to keep for a better tomorrow:
days we would rather know that never come.

— Michael Blumenthal

Roger’s a Downton man.

I could understand why the Earl he had devoted his life to its maintenance. I could even understand why he was so determined to give up the title and his fortune on the sake of principle; if you live under laws by which you can lose everything when a ship goes down, then perhaps it’s not quite so unfair that you have it in the first place.

Modern art museums typically lead us into galleries set out under headings such as “the 19th century” and “the Northern Italian School”, which reflect the academic traditions in which their curators have been educated. A more fertile indexing system might group together artworks from across genres and eras according to our inner needs. A walk through a museum of art should amount to a structured encounter with a few of the things that are easiest for us to forget and most essential and life-enhancing to remember.

Gay Marshall: “My Childhood”

All ingredients need salt. The noodle or tender spring pea would be narcissistic to imagine it already contained within its cell walls all the perfection it would ever need. We seem, too, to fear that we are failures at being tender and springy if we need to be seasoned. It’s not so: it doesn’t reflect badly on pea or person that either needs help to be most itself.

On our way to lunch at Beacon. It was approximately 8 degrees outside. I was not wearing a bear.

Tea time at the London (Taken with instagram)

Did you know afternoon tea will cost you approximately $50? The afternoon was lovely but next time I’ll just stuff some biscuits in my pants.

Checked in for the night at the London (Taken with instagram)

The view was the best part of the room, and it wasn’t a spectacular view. Really: don’t stay here.

“Bildbauten” by Philipp Schaerer

My colors, my angles.

I’d say Bernadette Peters’ greatest gift is getting me to love a song I’ve hated for the last 20 years—and for this song, more than any other, that’s like a Nobel Prize-level feat. Now I’ll go back to hating every other version, because I have not yet lost my mind. HAHAHA HAHA HA HA!
