I really hate leaving the TV on for background noise, which happens more often than I’d like. Today this situation took place in my living room while I was on my computer, and I heard Walt Whitman’s “O Pioneers” being recited over a Levi’s Jeans commercial.

It annoyed me, to say the least, but who am I to say that Whitman’s poetry should be reserved for an exclusive audience? I can’t pinpoint why it bothered me exactly. I guess I can’t stand something good and pure meshed with advertisements and capital gain. Which happens all the time anyways.

Hate to say it but that commercial is rad

"I started to invent future homes for us, I’d type through the night and give them to her the next..."

“I started to invent future homes for us, I’d type through the night and give them to her the next day. I imagined dozens of homes, some were magical (a clock tower with a stopped clock in a city where time stood still), some were mundane (a bourgois [sic] estate in the country with rose gardens and peacocks), each felt possible and perfect … “Dear Anna, We will live in a home built at the top of the world’s tallest ladder.” “Dear Anna, We will live in a cave in a hillside in Turkey.” “Dear Anna, We will live in a home with no walls, so that everywhere we go will be our home.” I wasn’t trying to invent better and better homes, but to show her that homes didn’t matter, we could live in any home, in any city, in any country, in any century, and be happy, as if the world were just what we lived in. The night before I lost everything, I typed our last future home: “Dear Anna, We will live in a series of homes, which will climb the alps [sic], and we’ll never sleep in the same one twice. Each morning after breakfast, we’ll sled down to the next home. And when we open its front door, the previous home will be destroyed and rebuilt as a new home. When we get to the bottom, we’ll take a lift to the top and start again at the beginning.””

- Jonathan Safran Foer, Extremely Loud & Incredibly Close (209)

[Another book I gobbled up this week, this one for the second time. Overflowing with heart and imagination. This is one of the most romantic things I have ever read; I think Foer is probably a great lover. Also, I love having read this book in conjunction with Slaughterhouse-Five, since both novels revolve around a common event, the Dresden bombings. I like to imagine Billy Pilgrim, Vonnegut himself, and Thomas Schell Sr. living in the same quasi-fictional world, passing each other on the streets in Dresden.]

love this so much.

Chromeo! This is (partially) what I wish dancing parties could really be like: Everyone has a turn and plenty of room to showcase their moves. Also, I am the star. Also, everyone dances really well. And it’s sexy but not sexxxy.

rad!

Customer Review: This item has wolves on it which makes it intrinsically sweet and worth 5 stars by itself, but once I tried it on, that’s when the magic happened. After checking to ensure that the shirt would properly cover my girth, I walked from my trailer to Wal-mart with the shirt on and was immediately approached by women. The women knew from the wolves on my shirt that I, like a wolf, am a mysterious loner who knows how to ‘howl at the moon’ from time to time (if you catch my drift!). The women that approached me wanted to know if I would be their boyfriend and/or give them money for something they called mehth. I told them no, because they didn’t have enough teeth, and frankly a man with a wolf-shirt shouldn’t settle for the first thing that comes to him. I arrived at Wal-mart, mounted my courtesy-scooter (walking is such a drag!) sitting side saddle so that my wolves would show. While I was browsing tube socks, I could hear aroused asthmatic breathing behind me. I turned around to see a slightly sweaty dream in sweatpants and flip-flops standing there. She told me she liked the wolves on my shirt, I told her I wanted to howl at her moon. She offered me a swig from her mountain dew, and I drove my scooter, with her shuffling along side out the door and into the rest of our lives. Thank you wolf shirt. Pros: Fits my girthy frame, has wolves on it, attracts women Cons: Only 3 wolves (could probably use a few more on the ‘guns’), cannot see wolves when sitting with arms crossed, wolves would have been better if they glowed in the dark.
