I like the sound of the silent dinner, though. I would go to way more farm-to-table or chef's table dinners if I didn't have to talk to people at them.
Early: So is it still her room when it's empty? Does the room, the thing, have purpose? Or do we -- what's the word? Simon: I really can't help you. Early: The plan is to take your sister. Get the reward, which is substantial. 'Imbue.' That's the word.

Off-topic discussion. Wanna talk about corsets, duct tape, butt kicking, or physics? This is the place. Detailed discussion of any current-season TV must be whitefonted.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.
I thought at first it was an Onion article.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine
On FB, msbelle shared a link to the Vogue write-up of this wedding, which is one of the most jaw-droppingly pretentious load of crap I have ever read: [link]
I generally say that the people getting married should have the wedding they want, and I guess I stand by that even for these 2 special snowflakes, but DAMN, they are THE WORST.
And I hope the butterfly ladies got paid A LOT.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.
OMG.

I do hope the author's tongue was at least flirting with their cheek. I can the writer and the photographer whispering together "Do you believe these people?"
ION, my piece of crap house is so jerry-rigged that the plumber is on the roof to clear out the main water line. Apparently my drains have multiple angles that shouldn't be in there and no proper access points.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!
Ugh, of course the annoying spendy booze-free evening trend started in Venice. Of course! I live in Ground Zero for privileged aestheticism.
For my 2 cents, the most annoying thing in the whole article was the pick-up scene aspect:
Nick DiMattina, 28, an Australian life coach, said that he had come looking for love, and that he prefers to date sans alcohol. “It’s the only way to see the real person,” he said. “I told my friends, this is where you’ll meet a cool girl.”
At least he turns out to be one of Australia's contributions to privileged aesthete culture.

I began to be suspicious when I saw someone had the first name Siddhartha, but I know it's well within the realm of possibility.

Burrell, you have inspired me to maybe go to a beginner tai chi class tomorrow. I'm like, 85 % going - I just looked up when classes start and one starts tomorrow which is short notice for me to do anything but I think I can do it. And saying it here bumps up the probability.

So come, my friends, be not afraid/We are so lightly here/It is in love that we are made; In love we disappear
That article. Wow. I just.
I'm with Jesse.
