“The other [love] is an outpouring of everything good in you - of kindness, and consideration and respect - not only the social respect of manners but the greatest respect which is recognition of another person as unique and valuable. The first kind can make you sick and small and weak but the second can release in you strength, and courage and goodness and even wisdom you didn’t know you had…. It sometimes happens that what you feel inside is not returned for one reason or another - but that does not make your feeling less valuable and good.”

- John Steinbeck to His Son Thom

Louise Brealey calls this Steinbeck’s advice to the Molly Hoopers of the world. Which explains both why I am so fond of Molly Hooper AND of Louise Brealey.

youknowyourebritishwhen:

Seems about right, perhaps ‘Britain’ in place of ‘England’ as not to forget the Scots, Irish and of course the Welsh.

So totally using this on my next trip to London.

The name of your restaurant makes me uneasy. “Ribs-n-Things” shows an alarming lack of specificity in describing what you serve.

“People cling with surprising strength to the idea that the sights can be seen without much walking, or that parking near memorials is free. Even folks with handicapped placards got frustrated. I once encountered a woman who, accompanied by her veteran father, screamed at me that there was no place for her to park at the World War II Memorial. I wasn’t unsympathetic. But I did wish she understood that just because I was wearing a nametag and a polyester necktie didn’t mean I was an authority figure.”

mrgan:

If you use Panic’s Coda web-development app, thanks and guess what! We have 2 exciting new things for you. Coda 2, a seriously beefed-up (and trimmed-down) update. And Diet Coda, the potent portable iPad version for quick fixes on the go. It’s serious business.

I will probably do less and less coding as time goes on in my career but I am thinking about getting this anyway because OMG.

“The issue, then, will always stem from studios that long for competent managers who turn out amazing product, but too often end up with mercurial creators who follow their own whims down paths studios would prefer to avoid. To make the stuff, they need people who make the trains run on time, but to make it great, they need weird geniuses who might be hard to deal with.”

…take my front wheel off the bike, throw it in the car, drive it to the bike shop as soon as it opens to be fixed, take it home, put it back, and bike to the Nats game to meet Tom, who will already be there because he doesn’t have a flat tire.

“Is series three of Sherlock now in the planning stages?
“Well, we’ve had meetings about it. It’s certainly happening and we know when we’re filming it - we shoot in January. Obviously I’ve got quite a lot of work on between now and January! “So yes, it’s all happening and we’ve had our first few meetings. I don’t think a word has been committed to paper yet, but nearly.””

Me: The cannoli, which I thought about offering you a bite of but decided not to-
Tom: No judgment.
Me: ...is coated with chocolate on the inside, has chocolate chips in the filling, and there was a big piece of candied orange peel in it.
Tom: That sounds good.
Me: I think I might leave you for that cannoli.
Tom: I don't think pastry weddings are legal in DC.
Me: But it IS DC...
Tom: ...and I would completely understand if you wanted to work to make that happen.

“Imboden enlisted his mother and sister to help him start the company. These made for some strange moments, as in the time when his mom complimented him on a well-written description of how a vibrator could be inserted safely for anal use, calling out from across the room, “Ethan, you handled the anus beautifully”.”

"Why Am I The One" Acoustic

Thu, 17 May 2012 15:38:50 -0400

ournameisfunofficial:

This recording of “Why Am I The One” appears on the upcoming Record Store Day vinyl release, The Ghost That You Are To Me.

I know a bunch of you are, like, SO OVER fun. because they have that ONE song that is apparently everywhere right now (I wouldn’t know, since I haven’t listened to music on the radio in a year and a half), but whatever. This is a different song entirely and it’s been stuck in my head for a week.
