Will You Marry Me? It’s not a get-down-on-one-knee-in-public proposition, but I think it still counts as a public proposition, no? Out there for all the world to see, open to well wishes and ridicule and all? Regardless of unconventional format, though, I’m genuinely asking: will you? Just so you know, I’m not asking because I’ve got this dream wedding fantasy with swans and confetti in mind (though why not, we might as well go all out). I’ve actually always been terrified of getting married because I’ve seen so many people I love go through painful divorces and also the last thing I’ve ever wanted to do was be attached to someone, but you’re different.

Tyler Knott This week, I was so fortunate join forces with the amazing PEN America, one of the most amazing literary organizations in the country who work very hard to, in their words, “ensure that people everywhere have the freedom to create literature, to convey information and ideas, to express their views, and to make it possible for everyone to access the views, ideas, and literatures of others.” They have an unbelievable event coming up, the PEN World Voices Festival of International Literature, from April 28th through May 4th in New York City.

Why I Want To Live In The 19th Century When I was doing research for my dissertation at the New-York Historical Society, a giant repository for every historical event to ever happen in New York, I realized that the 19th century was so freaking hot. Everything we know, everything we’re used to, emerges in some small way from something that happened in the 19th century. There’s almost nothing more 19th century than the old Waldorf=Astoria hotel. It’s big, opulent, and if you were seen there, you were definitely somebody, or at least pretending to be somebody.

Jitterbug Perfume Plot summary[edit] A powerful and righteous 8th-century king named Alobar narrowly escapes regicide at the hands of his own subjects, as it is their custom to kill the king at the first sign of aging. After fleeing, no longer a king but a simple peasant, he travels through Eurasia, and eventually meets the goat-god Pan, who is slowly losing his powers as the world turns toward Christianity. In India, he meets a girl, Kudra, who goes on to become his wife. As with most of Robbins' couples, their mutual libido is enormous, and their love quite like something out of a fairy tale. After an encounter with a mysterious group known as "The Bandaloop Doctors," Alobar is set down the path towards eternal life, which, according to Robbins, can be attained by a consistent ritual of controlled breath work, simple eating, sex, and bathing in extremely hot water.

Give Me All The Drugs All of them. Even the useless ones. Just take them out of the bottle and hand them to me, and I’ll handle the rest. One of each please. I like variety and I have a long list of psychosomatic needs. Something for apathy.
