*Nothing pisses me off more than people romanticizing the Great Gatsby quote

“I hope she’ll be a fool—that’s the best thing a girl can be in this world, a beautiful little fool.” Oh, great! Love seeing this picture over Instagram photos of lipstick and flowers and shit. Daisy Buchanan was a flowery weed in flapper sequins. The best thing a girl can be in the modern world (where some psycho bazillonaire with great hair and an anger problem isn’t pining after her like a golden fucking ice cream cone) is a tough warrior. A smart cookie. An empathizer, a pirate, a time-traveler, a sweet nurturer, a rebel, a hard worker, a UNICORN.  Not a fucking fool who is totes pretty.

Great book, though!

*currently. Yesterday nothing pissed me off more than the 6 train

The neighbors dogs have not stopped barking for the past hour. And every time they take a quick break it is such a tease, those few seconds of silence.

And then they start up again.

“Another Reason Why I Don’t Keep a Gun in the House” by Billy Collins

The neighbors’ dog will not stop barking.
He is barking the same high, rhythmic bark
that he barks every time they leave the house.
They must switch him on on their way out.

The neighbors’ dog will not stop barking.
I close all the windows in the house
and put on a Beethoven symphony full blast
but I can still hear him muffled under the music,
barking, barking, barking,

and now I can see him sitting in the orchestra,
his head raised confidently as if Beethoven
had included a part for barking dog.

When the record finally ends he is still barking,
sitting there in the oboe section barking,
his eyes fixed on the conductor who is
entreating him with his baton

while the other musicians listen in respectful
silence to the famous barking dog solo,
that endless coda that first established
Beethoven as an innovative genius.

Angelina Jolie had a double mastectomy, in case you hadn’t heard. How dare she remove those ticking time bombs from her chest, amiright? Like, hasn’t she learned by now that her body is public domain and we all get to vote on what she does with it? Sheesh, how selfish can ya get.
