Okay but this is for real how California managed to get relatively strict gun control laws. Except it was black folks they were worried about--Black Panthers specifically.

Hi hello. Guess I'm back.

The envelope turns into dust right there in Charlize Theron’s hands and they just give it to The Handmaiden? What a welcome twist! This is great!

Patti LuPone and Mandy Patinkin rehearsing for the Broadway production of the musical “Evita.” (New York) (1979).

I love Mandy’s tee shirt. Donald is my fav’ cartoon.

I’m trying to picture the Doyles on a smartphone and the closest I can get is:

*Frank Doyle picks up the receiver of an old-timey telephone* “Hello, Instagram?”

I think they have a while to go yet

[audsbot]

“Did you hear, Frank? Instead of using our regular liquor delivery boy, we can order booze over the internet!”

“I’ll confess, Sadie, I’m confused by the concept.”

“Of the internet?”

“No, of ‘instead.’ That implies that we do one and not the other, and only receive half as much booze as we would should we have done both!” 

“That’s a very good point, dear. Shall you do the honors?”

“Of course, darling.” *picks up old-timey phone* “Hello, Instagram?”

Have you ever wondered why libraries have special atmospheres? They are places where many congregate but where silence is the code. Quietness in an atmosphere means there is the presence of quiet minds, and quiet minds are not only relaxed, they can concentrate easily and create more freely. Imagine you are in the library of your mind, browsing the accumulated wisdom on the shelves of your life - listen to the silence, be aware of the stillness. Now you can really listen. Now you can really hear. Now you can really think. Now you can create. And behold, you are an artist. Did you not know that silence and creativity are lovers?

Saturday I woke up to a string of 14 baby messages between 2/3 of this group text and got called out. Accurately.
