This is a story about culture and how American urban culture defines how we live. New Orleans is an extraordinary and unusual culture, but it comes from the same primal forces in American society of immigration and assimilation and non-assimilation and racism and post-racialism that really are the defining characteristics of this melting pot society. What is it about Americans that makes us Americans?

Mary Tyler Moore — Remix • “Love Is All Around”

Let’s be real, discovering that this song exists has probably been the highlight of my month thus far. (Source)

I’m pretty sure this is my new favorite song.

This is life changing.

What is so funny to me is I’m in a profession where two percent of people are working, yet there’s still this implication that you’re not completely successful if you’re single and in your forties. Well, why not? I wanted a horse when I was growing up too. Does that mean I’m not successful, because I don’t have a horse?

I really hate vaginas. I’m allergic to vagina. But I can’t say I had no idea, because it was a 12-hour shoot, so you kind of get the picture that these women are going to stay naked after, like, five or six hours. But I wasn’t exactly prepared. I had no idea what to say to these girls. Thank God I was hungover.

—Robert Pattinson, on his photoshoot in Details, which featured a lot of naked women. (via truffle-shuffle

That sound you just head? The hearts of a million teenage fangirl hearts breaking. Not mine, btdubs, I’ve never seen the appeal of RPatz.

Harry just wanted Howard to sit down, start again. There were four more hours of quality viewing before bedtime - antique show and property shows and travel show and game shows - all of which he and his son might watch together in silent companionship, occasionally commenting on this presenter’s overbite, another’s small hands or sexual preference. And this would all be another way of saying: It’s good to see you. It’s been too long. We’re family.

But Howard couldn’t do this when he was sixteen and he couldn’t do it now. He just did not believe, as his father did, that time is how you spend your love.

Zadie Smith, On Beauty

I read this book a while ago, and while I didn’t necessarily like the book overall, there were these moments of insight that really resonated. This is one of them. I have long believed much as Howard’s father does - that time is how you spend your love. It seemed only fitting to post this on Valentine’s Day.

David Tennant performing Hamlet’s Soliloquy

You’re welcome, girls. :)

To paraphrase Aaron Sorkin: “And believe me, if you haven’t seen David Tennant do ‘The Hamlet Soliloquy,’ then you haven’t seen Shakespeare the way it was meant to be done.”
