insanislupus asked: You ever considered doing a blog about domestic girly stuff?

Never, but thanks, I think I’ll steal your idea.

Most people are more comfortable with an old problem than a new solution.

How to Critique Anything

(Replace he words poet/poem with whatever it is that you’re critiquing)

            “I thought that some of the metaphysical imagery
            was really particularly effective.
            .. and …
             interesting rhythmic devices too,
             which seemed to counterpoint the …
             counterpoint the surrealism
             of the
             underlying metaphor of the …
             humanity of the …
             of the poet’s compassionate soul,
             which contrives through
             the medium of the verse structure
             to sublimate this, transcend that,
             and come to terms with the
             fundamental dichotomies of the other,
             and one is left with a
             profound and vivid insight
             into …
             into …
             Into whatever it was the poem was about!”

              — Douglas Adams (1952-2001)

Random texter: Can you tell Paul to check his phone, please? :P
Me: Who is this?
Random texter: David! Your son!
Me: I don't have a son, and if I did, I wouldn't name him David. No offense. It's a nice name.
Random texter: Are you telling me this isn't 720-6254?
Me: No, I'm telling you that I wouldn't name my son David; however, using that information, you could probably conclude that this isn't 720-6254.
Random texter: Sir, or madam, not only am I completely perplexed by the fact that I am still texting 720-6254, but I also commend you on your exquisite grammar.
Me: Why, thank you good sir! Apologies for any inconvenience this may have caused. It is, unfortunately, out of my control.
Random texter: My apologies, friend. :)

Artists Wanted | In Focus : Pete Eckert

Pete Eckert is a totally blind person. But through his photography, he proves that he IS a visual person, he just can’t see.

Me: It's a picture of that guy Eddie was talking about who had his fingers ripped off.
Greg: I would want four things if that happened to me.
Me: A blow job?
Greg: Five things.

While there is perhaps a province in which the photograph can tell us nothing more than what we see with our own eyes, there is another in which it proves to us how little our eyes permit us to see.
