"Women have higher graduation rates than men at all academic levels and by 2019 they are projected to account for 60 percent of all American undergraduates. In 2009, they accounted for more than half of all people employed in management and professional occupations.

But at all levels of education, women still earn only 75 percent of what men earn."

Anne & her family lived alone on an island. She enjoyed having tea time with her friends the spiny lobster and baby hawk.

Conversation Galante

I OBSERVE: “Our sentimental friend the moon!
Or possibly (fantastic, I confess)
It may be Prester John’s balloon
Or an old battered lantern hung aloft
To light poor travellers to their distress.”
She then: “How you digress!”

And I then: “Someone frames upon the keys
That exquisite nocturne, with which we explain
The night and moonshine; music which we seize
To body forth our own vacuity.”
She then: “Does this refer to me?”
“Oh no, it is I who am inane.”

“You, madam, are the eternal humorist,
The eternal enemy of the absolute,
Giving our vagrant moods the slightest twist!
With your air indifferent and imperious
At a stroke our mad poetics to confute—”
And—“Are we then so serious?”

TS Eliot

Too Much

Too much caffeine, too many words and joy taken from watching odd .gifs whilst listening to music.

"Went to dinner with former intern Rhombonica tonight. She's in New Orleans now just like me. Except her situation is more permanent and mine is more thief in the night. We hid out in a photo booth and also there was a cat there who sat at the bar."

My mom's favorite artist. Two framed prints in the house full of nature's drama and light.

2011 AD—On May 21st, Judgment Day will begin and the rapture (the taking up into heaven of God’s elect people) will occur at the end of the 23-year great tribulation. On October 21st, the world will be destroyed by fire (7000 years from the flood; 13,023 years from creation)

The latest Biblical interpretation from EBible Fellowship.

So, what do you do? Behave in a manner befitting a terrified sinner? Or sink into sin to your neck and wait for the Hell Maw to open?
