Perhaps the worst part of heartbreak is that, even though it hurts so deeply that it couldn’t possibly be anything but acutely personal, it’s nonetheless the most trite, universal thing in the world.  Everybody has felt this way, it’s nothing new.  Maybe that’s what makes it poetic, a profoundly sympathetic state of our existence, but it’s also the final nail in the coffin for that love story:  this isn’t something special or intimate, it’s just… ordinary.

This reminds me of a paper I wrote on Wuthering Heights titled ‘Nothing Says “I Love You” Like Digging Up Your Dead Lover’s Corpse’.

The Wire — 100 Greatest Quotes (spoilers)

Just finished watching all five seasons of The Wire.  I have to say, I hated it the first couple episodes and by the end of it all, loved it as much as everyone says you will.  But, now what am I supposed to do without any more of The Wire in my life?

the perfect day

My friend invited me over for French toast brunch, which somehow stretched into a full day of watching Love Actually and The Holiday and eventually eating Thanksgiving leftovers.  Most Wonderful Time of the Year, how I’ve missed you :)

As is traditional, the food was the real headliner of the dinner party:  two turkeys, both of which were better than most things I have ever tasted.  One cider-maple brined, stuffed with pear, apple, and onion and topped with bacon; the other with garlic, lemon, and herbs.  Perfection.
