Peter’s take on the “Vampires” edition of Sketchwar: “Vampers”.
Reminder: Too Many Cooks starts Monday
I just wanted to send out a quick reminder for you all to follow Too Many Cooks if you haven’t already and to ask you to reblog this for your friends as well. I’ve already had the opportunity to read a few of the story starts for next week and I’m awfully excited by them. I think you will be too.

myimportantthoughts:
Some of my male friends have a very militaristic view to dating. “Veni, vidi, vici,” they’ll say, winking as they come back the morning after. I always think the unfortunate woman must be very disappointed if it’s in that order.
I find they don’t mind as long as you’re attentive crossing the rubicon.

Tuesday morning song
Hello butthurt, my old friend,
I’ve come to talk with you again,
Because a small slight softly creeping,
Left its seeds while I was sleeping,
And the small slight that was planted in my brain
Still remains
Within the pain of butthurt.
It's often the unintented cuts that cut deep.
Culture engines →
atsween:
swamibooba:
This group, which I’ll call the Favrd Crowd, at its current state is an example of a developing culture engine. It’s sucking in talent and spewing out art and entertainment, but its impact on the outside culture is minimal. What I predict will happen is that a few people within the group, blessed with extraordinary talents, will break out and become popular to the outside...

Does the article specify whether the anticipation need be realistic or not?
That sounds about right. The scruff in my lips photo from earlier was about seven weeks of growth.

One of the many times in my life it pays to be unpopular, unfriendly, and downright rude to people. At most, I get that call once. They don’t bother asking me again. (Don’t usually call again, but that’s okay.)

psychotherapy:
We’re all familiar with the stereotype of the tortured artist. Salvador Dali’s various disorders and Sylvia Plath’s depression spring to mind. Now new research seems to show why: a genetic mutation linked to psychosis and schizophrenia also influences creativity.
The finding could help to explain why mutations that increase a person’s risk of developing mental...
A biblical math problem
Noah promotes Shem and Ham to be full partners at Noah & Sons, Shipwrights and gives them a key to the executive latrine and offices on the top floor of the home office. Shem’s office is 12 cubits by 11 cubits and Ham’s office is 13 cubits by 10 cubits.
Given the dimensions of the ark at 300 cubits by 50 cubits by 30 cubits, what the hell is a Jew doing with Ham?
And just imagine ladies, the whole is...well it's...

Please note: I am not now, nor have I ever been “inside Anaïs”. It’s just eerie how she writes these haiku as though she’s had that particular disappointment.

This is why I shouldn’t skip aisles. Those must be with diapers and douches.
This deli carries Boar’s Head. No. Thank. You.
That’s why I like to go in on Saturday afternoons when the old women who smell like Ben-Gay hand out free samples.

Cleanup, aisle six!

Thanks folks, I’m here all week.

Research shows that motorists talking on a phone are four times as likely to crash as other drivers, and are as likely to cause an accident as someone with a .08 blood alcohol content.
