“Here’s the schedule. Late each night, we set a time to have coffee the next morning. Then I go to my room, and Ben goes to his. We yell goodnight. We sleep. When the correct hour comes, we meet in the kitchen, where Ben makes Americanos and English muffins. Then he walks the two blocks to his office, and I go to mine, the aforementioned dining room. I untangle the cord to my headphones, put something on repeat (mostly, it’s been Temple of the Dog’s “Hunger Strike”), and smash a mosquito with my copy of Bird by Bird. That book is even more useful than I had given it credit for. A couple of hours later, Ben comes back for lunch. Because it’s very loud here on Planet Hunger Strike, I don’t notice his arrival until he walks into the dining room and I scream. We make lunch. After that, we go back to our desks and work until early evening, when he goes for a run and I go for a walk. At 8:30 pm, no earlier and no later, I make a round of Negronis. Then we cook dinner, and then we do it all over again.”

Crystal Diamond Rose: Coolest engagement ring ever. →

CONGRATS GANSIE!
Bennett gave this ring to Stef with the explanation that it’s not necessarily an “engagement ring”. Rather, it’s the ring he’s giving her while asking her to spend the rest of her life with him. “Wear it all the time, don’t wear it all the time, wear other rings as well…”
So fucking cool.

“Since those days, the potato has had a highly successful career, but not without some setbacks. Whoever invented the deep-fried potato surely didn’t realize what a sin he was committing. Granted that once in a while deep-fried potatoes, beautifully brown and crisp and cooked in fine oil or fat, can be a complement to a good chicken or a grilled pig’s foot, or a fine steak. But the notion that these bits of potato—when limp, greasy, without flavor or texture and barely warm—should be served with every dish in the world is odious beyond belief.”

“In each and every dark pit of desperation, I have never seen a pro-lifer. I ain’t never seen them babysitting, scrubbing floors, bringing over goods, handing mom $50 bucks a month or driving her to the pediatrician. I ain’t never seen them sitting up for hours with an autistic child who screams and rages so his mother can get some sleep while she rests up from working 14-hour days. I don’t see them fixing leaks in rundown houses or playing with a kid while the police prepare to interview her about her sexual abuse. They’re not paying for the funerals of babies and children who died after birth, when they truly do become independent organisms. And the crazy thing is they think they’ve already done their job, because the child was born!”
