So I just saw a clip of the view with Joy Behar and sat there for the first half like "OMG WHO DOES THAT REMIND ME OF WITH HER VOICE, ACCENT, NO-NONSENSE ATTITUDE, etc."  Maybe it's just me...

Appealing to our feline and classical sensibilities all at once. ¿¡¡¡¿¿¡¡¿ Mais comment s'appelle-t-il ?!??!?!!?  Voici une liste d'options: Catullus Cato Socates Euripicat Aristopheline Publius Catvideos Naso Senecat Dis-moi, quel nom préfères-tu? fuck i hope i got that spelling and punctuation right.  french is un-fun when you've forgotten most of it. ---------------- Now, I give you Ancient Greek Culture Cat, that is,  ελληνικά τ  

cases in point:  for people who adore art, we never have any decorations on our walls. our rooms contain only what we absolutely need; everything else stays in boxes (your case) or is thrown out (my case) unfortunately for me, this rule extends to the wardrobe department.  too lazy to go shopping --> "I believe in having only a few basic pieces that you can wear with anything." (lies and excuses) I'm too lazy to continue this list, so it shall be a minima list.

Mapplethorpe's 1986 portrait of Patti Smith recalls Dürer's 1500 self-portrait... ie, this happened.

old propho smith by mapplethorpe Also...Mick Jagger had this to say about Patti Smith:  "I think it's crap! I think she's so awful...she's full of rubbish, she's full of words and crap. I mean, she's a poseur of the worst kind, intellectual bullshit, trying to be a street girl when she doesn't seem to me to be one, I mean, everything...a useless guitar player, a bad singer, not attractive. She's got her heart in the right place but she's such a POSER! She's not really together musically, she's...all right."

The reason this blog was created. To specifically share this Wikipedia page with you. Thank you Jezebel for alerting me to its existence, and thank you blogspot for allowing us to continue our boomerang or pointlessness this long - it would appear we have sent it out, it has reached escape velocity, and will never return. http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/List_of_animals_with_fraudulent_diplomas

Here are excerpts that I related to...out of just ONE column.  At 4:00 AM in SoHo I would stop and look at the blank-faced mannequins in the windows of the shuttered stores on Broadway and feel something like my soul if I believed in souls slipping out of the top of my head like steam from a kettle and rising like street exhaust into the blinky-black sky.  Adios,  ghost. Then I'd walk home, listening to the Rolling Stones:  YOU'RE A STAR FUCKER STAR FUCKER STAR FUCKER STAR FUCKER STAR YES YOU ARE YES YOU ARE YES YOU ARE ARE ARE ARE. I'd sit in the middle of it all and lay, like I said, in a child's pose, with my head on the floor. When morning came, I'd go out and crack psychiatrists like coconuts on Fifth Avenue.  Gimme more. Back when I was full of shame I'd smoke a cigarette on my window ledge and talk to God on the 16th floor, age 18. If anybody—God, do they? If anybody saw, if anybody knew…  I used to think three, five, ten time...

  The pidyon haben , ( Hebrew : פדיון הבן ‎) or redemption of the first born son , is a mitzvah in Judaism whereby a Jewish firstborn son is redeemed by use of silver coins from his birth-state of sanctity. The redemption is attained by giving five silver coins to a Kohen (a patrilineal descendant of the priestly family of Aaron ).             It says in Numbers: And Moses took the redemption money of them that were over and above them that were redeemed by the Levites ... And Moses gave the money of them that were redeemed unto Aaron and to his sons, according to the word of the L ORD , as the L ORD commanded Moses. The Shulkhan Arukh states that when a Jewish woman gives birth to a firstborn male by natural means, then the child must be "redeemed". The father of the child must "redeem" the child from a known Kohen representing the original Temple priesthood, for the sum of five silver Shekels , or equiva...

The Village Voice wrote a review of the movie. Haven't read it yet, but I thought it belonged here. Obviously. http://www.villagevoice.com/2012-10-03/film/wuthering-heights-black-like-me-film-review/
