sorry for all the random home furnishings photos. after i posted the gun i looked around and realize that while my mind may not be very pink my apartment definitely is. that’s only about half.

I do like my lady bathroom.

Semi toile, and pretending to be antiquey sofa table.

I’m such a chick.

Semi-toile (marshall’s)

More (you can buy these 2 bags at the french market fyi)

When you can be your little-kid self with someone when you’re both naked… That’s the best.

Some of the unreleased pages in McCain’s Navy file may not reflect well upon his qualifications for the presidency. From day one in the Navy, McCain screwed-up again and again, only to be forgiven because his father and grandfather were four-star admirals. McCain’s sense of entitlement to privileged treatment bears an eerie resemblance to George W. Bush’s. Despite graduating in the bottom 1 percent of his Annapolis class, McCain was offered the most sought-after Navy assignment — to become an aircraft carrier pilot. According to military historian John Karaagac, “‘the Airedales,’ the air wing of the Navy, acted and still do, as if unrivaled atop the naval pyramid. They acted as if they owned, not only the Navy, but the entire swath of blue water on the earth’s surface.” The most accomplished midshipmen compete furiously for the few carrier pilot openings. After four abysmal academic years at Annapolis distinguished, according to his own books, by mediocrity and misdeeds, no one with a record resembling McCain’s would have been offered such a prized career path. The justification for this and subsequent plum assignments should be documented in McCain’s naval file.

I was thinking recently that if you really wanted to do something to shore up the sanctity of marriage then rather than ban gay marriages you ought to ban, say, fourth marriages. It’s one thing to say that people who make a mistake ought to get a second chance, but serial nuptuals really do make a mockery of the institution’s basic premises in a way that same-sex couples don’t. Maybe some people just need to admit to themselves that they have no business making promises of life-long commitment.

Initially, I wanted to ban third marriages, but it seems worth watering the proposal down in order to enhance political feasibility and secure access to the much-vaunted “three strikes and you’re out” catchphrase.

Baptized in 2001, the Purple Rain star is a devout Jehovah’s Witness. And he even goes door-to-door! In October 2003, a woman in Eden Prairie, Minnesota opened her door to discover the famously shy artist standing in front of her home. He introduced himself as Prince Nelson and came inside along with his bassist, former Sly and the Family Stone member Larry Graham.
