Men are stupid,
Men are vain,
Love’s disgusting,
Love’s insane.
A humiliating business.
—Stephen Sondheim: A Little Night Music (via sothisbitchtumblr)
(via bitteramanda)
Men are stupid,
“
Listen!
The furthermost bird of this world sings.
The night is neat, complete and wide.
And the moon whispers,
to the ears of the flowers,
to the ears of the twigs.
In front of the stairs,
amidst the profusion of the nightly breeze,
a torch in my hand,
I stand.
Listen!
The lanes are calling your steps,
And your eyes are not to be the ornament of darkness!
Wash your eyes,
Wear your shoes-
and come!
Come with me!
Come until the moon’s hidden fingers warns!
Come until Time sits by your side!
Come until the night’s fragrance absorbs-
the entire weight of your limbs!
And then,
listen, listen again!
I know,
if you come this way,
there will be a wise, not far away,
who will tell you then:
“The best instant in life-
is the night you look into your eyes-
and they are wet, they are wet from-
the Incidence of Love.”

15 Swedish Words We Should Incorporate Into English Immediately
“Swedish, adding to all the awesomeness, has proven especially adept at coining new words for the new circumstances occasioned by new technologies. Below, some of the best Swedologisms I could find, via the Swedish news site The Local. We should, obviously, incorporate them into English as soon as possible.
1. Bloggbävning, n.
Definition: Literally translating to “blogquake,” the word describes the process by which a topic explodes in the blogosphere and is then picked up by more mainstream media outlets.

Stranded Sea Lion Pups Arrive in Northern California
“Malnourished sea lion pups have started arriving in Northern California – by the vanload.
It’s a three-day, two-night trip for the weary mammalian travelers, with overnight stops in San Luis Obispo and Moss Landing. At the end of the road: The Marine Mammal Center in Sausalito, where the pups will be cared for and returned to health.”

“Thus with my lips have I denounced you, while my heart, bleeding within me, called you tender names.
It was love lashed by its own self that spoke. It was pride half slain that fluttered in the dust. It was my hunger for your love that raged from the housetop, while my own love, kneeling in silence, prayed your forgiveness.”
—Kahlil Gibran
This just about sums it up.
Geronimo hiding in wait to scare people as they cross the bridge.
He failed at the scaring, instead got many laughs.
I made a bridge! (well, technically a raft, but close enough.) Yay jungle building.
