Was “zany” ever an acceptable word? Also, if I were 7 years old now would I be excited about shoes that lit up?

Apparently, Drunch is big in L-town →
As with “God” in the Bible, it all flowed from the word - “drunch” pretty much defines itself. It’s like brunch but, with apologies to concerned medical professionals, you get drunk. We were so pleased with the idea we immediately sent out the invites and duly filled all the Saturdays of January with drunch at ours. It wasn’t long before one guest Googled...

Get your hands on a copy of Jonathan Franzen’s Freedom. Read it greedily, over a few days. Reflect all the while on love, family, and fidelity, the tense modern dialectic of community and individualism-that Arendtian distinction between public and private spheres—and how private principles translate into public policy. Ask yourself what constitutes a modern classic.  And how it comes...

What is love? Baby don't hurt me →
“The notion that the best marriages are those that bring satisfaction to the individual may seem counterintuitive. After all, isn’t marriage supposed to be about putting the relationship first? Not anymore. For centuries, marriage was viewed as an economic and social institution, and the emotional and intellectual needs of the spouses were secondary to the survival of the marriage itself....

“…we should have the courage not to look for some unitary, totalistic explanation for the universe. Instead, we should live perceptively at the surface, receptive to the moments of transcendent whooshes that we can feel in, say, a concert crowd, or while engaging in a meaningful activity, like making a perfect cup of coffee with a well-crafted pot and cup.”

If you are not Schmictoria, you may have missed this scathing review of Decision Points in the London Review of Books. Aside from tearing Bush to shreds, it confirms, once again, that Foucault is pretty much always a suitable reference.

The worst song of 2010
According to the Village Voice is…. “Hey Soul Sister” ““Hey, Soul Sister” was the only rock song to land in the Billboard Hot 100’s top 10 this year. This is pretty much proof that rock music is dead, right? We’re not gonna tell Nickelback to come back because all is forgiven, but this warm washcloth of facepalmy puns and cutey-poo pukulele might...

A Lexicon of Bevvies →
…Wine: Many social functions are clarified and maintained by this fermented grape juice. It can serve as “admission” to dinner parties, as the host implicitly expects guests to bring a ~$15-20 bottle in order to offset the cost of food—as chronicled in a Seinfeld episode in which George Costanza laments having to buy a bottle for a party. Wine is also the central component in approaching...
