“Beautiful isn’t it? Well beauty fades fast, especially if you’re cold and alone.”
– Les Stroud (via livingthenuglife)
(Les Stroud is a Canadian gem. I know someone [who knows someone?] who lives in the same town as he does. Dude never shovels his driveway.)

Stripe and Yellow: What happens if you fall in... →
karenfelloutofbedagain:
Lots of things might happen. That’s the thing about writers. They’re unpredictable. They might bring you eggs in bed for breakfast, or they might all but ignore you for days. They might bring you eggs in bed at three in the morning. Or they might wake you up for sex…
I’d speak on how true this is, but writers write. I talk about writing. I’m one of...

I wish I had those man-titties and that sense of self-righteousness.
And that goatee.

I made myself feel better earlier tonight by...
Not a huge deal to anyone, probably, but it made me sort of stop and think. 1,000 people at least have given my dumb little videos a couple of minutes of their time.
I don’t know.

What if I wrote a book titled “Great Skrillexpectations”
I feel sort of obligated to reblog any Dickens-related stuff I see today, but this is just the worst idea.
Mostly because you’d really only be able to market it as an audiobook, and we ALL know audiobooks are for losers.

I made a very minor change—one word for a synonym with, essentially, the same meaning in context—and was writing a note to explain my decision to change it.
When I started a sentence with “If this is too minor a quibble…”, I realized that it was. If you have to clarify that your correction might be too small to matter, it very often is.

Something about overeating and seeing how much TV programming time can be dragged out of a single game of football.
Well, Yankees, I would like to extend well wishes to you on this holy day of your people. May the Aztec god Guacamola be appeased by your greasy sacrifices! Go forth and idle, as I shall be doing.
All hail halftime shows!

No Free Pass On Them Passwords, Dudes and Dudettes
I’m too connected to the online world. You probably are, too. It’s hard not to be. But it’s great not to be. I guess the correlation there is that sometimes, great things are hard to come by. Life lesson COMPLETE!
Just kidding. Life lesson just begun.
I’m not going to tread the tired ground of why we should stop and take a look around more often, and get in touch in...

“Wake up! Wake up, Maker Of T-Shirts, TV Shows, Movies, Stand-Up Comedy, Or Animated Gifs! You were screaming in your sleep!”
“Oh God, Sheila, I just had the most horrible dream. I dreamt…”
“Yes?”
“It’s too horrible to even say aloud.”
“But you must! To name your fear is to claim your fear!…
The answer is simple.
Children must stop growing up.
Please. And thank you....

Yo, good point all around. But that’s the weirdest use of an ellipsis in a quote that I’ve ever seen.

Then I saw that she shared it via George Takei’s page.
My mom is a fan of George Takei on Facebook.
Now I’m delighted by that, instead.
