Women without bones

One of the true guilty pleasures (guilty because it is useless and greedy) is to repeatedly examine things that you know to have improved with the expectation that they haven’t.

Let me be more specific. Already this morning I’ve looked out the window three times to check on the herb pot which sits on the fire escape under the pretense of seeing how it is coming along, even though I know it is extremely vibrant and growing faster than expected.

It wouldn’t be a guilty pleasure to gaze at the plant with no expectations. However, each time I go to look at it I deliberately imagine a stunted and dry plant so that the actual thing (moist, green, moving sunward) packs an extra punch.

Other things in the same category: looking at yourself repeatedly in the mirror after a good haircut, checking your bank balance unnecessarily when you know it has grown, soliciting extra compliments on a cake you’ve served to guests when they’ve already acknowledged how tasty it is.

all very good, very true points

Using the orange construction barrels on Hillsborough Street alongside NCSU, U Live and You Burn constructed a monster-sized barrel man to help divert traffic away from the ongoing road construction.”

Reality Bites

  • Person Who Is Usually Reasonable: Hey, Sara, you know about lots of stuff. Can I ask you something?.
  • Sara: Of course. What's up?
  • PWIUR: Well, like... I was just wondering if you could give me some information on, you know....
  • Sara: On?
  • PWIUR: On, like, you know, training to become a vampire.
  • Sara: ...
  • PWIUR: And you can learn the, you know, skills. To become one. I know they exist, don't they?
  • Sara: ... No.
  • PWIUR: But, but... There are vampire lesbian cults on the Internet!
  • Sara: I'm sure there are, but those people are just dressing up and pretending. It's fantasy, like in D&D roleplaying or zombie parades. It's just for fun.
  • PWIUR: I dunno, I think you can get vampire training.
  • Sara: You believe that humans can train to live for thousands of years and subsist off of blood sucked from the jugulars of the living?
  • PWIUR: Yes! I saw it somewhere.
  • Sara: On the Internet.
  • PWIUR: Yeah, but also somewhere else.
  • Sara: Where?
  • PWIUR: On that episode of The L Word.
  • Sara: ... That's a TV show.
  • PWIUR: Yeah, but a lot of the stuff on that show is like real life!
  • Sara: But not lesbian vampires.
  • PWIUR: Yeah, but I think I know one.
  • Sara: Who?
  • PWIUR: My ex-girlfriend. One time she, like, bit my neck... really hard.
  • Sara: See this French fry? (Holds up French fry) I can bite this French fry really hard, but that does not make me a vampire.
  • PWIUR: ARE you a vampire?
  • Sara: No!
  • PWIUR: I think you're wrong. I think I can become a vampire.
  • Sara: You're welcome to practice on these French fries.

soupsoup: rhodyram: Across the Hudson in Jersey City residents are fighting for a project similar to the High Line, known as “Make My Park”. The idea is to take a former freightway that runs for 6 blocks along 6th Street in downtown and transform it into a public park and walkway, promenade style. A massive stone structure, the embankment once served as the eastern terminus for the Pennsylvania Railroad and contributed to the growth of the Port of New York and the greater metropolitan area. It is 27 feet tall and up to 400 feet wide and for walkers, joggers, bikers, children and sun bathers, it will be an unbelievable addition to an area with a genuine need for more park space. The embankment in Jersey City cuts right through the neighborhood, eastward towards the Hudson and is in the perfect location to continue to spruce up the downtown area. Apparently, there is growth up on the embankment that is now over 50 years old that supporters wouldn’t want to destroy and will be designed around. As a resident, and big fan of Jersey City, I feel this is a no brainer, and I can’t wait until it’s available to use. I’m sure I’d be there several times a week roller-blading or relaxing! Click to find out more info, or to get involved with this project. When I was living there, I always wanted to go up there & explore. Would be a great addition to the city. My only worry is crime up there. But It’d be cool!
