No, it's not just you...
166 days ago · No authority yetI had just got my Valentine's Day rant perfectly planned out, when Charlie Brooker went and wrote this, which, whilst brilliant, has made me feel hopelessly inadequate in the area of vitriolic invective. So, I had to rethink, and this is what you get at short notice... I firmly believe that much of our day-to-day malcontentment is caused by a gap

170 days ago · Authority: 41כימיה מינית מחזיקה מעמד שנתיים, כך לפי מחקר מדעי. http://news.bbc.co.uk/1/hi/health/4669104.stm צ'ארלי ברוקר מציע לחגוג את Unvalentine’s Day ביום שאחרי. אנטי-תזה לחלק בתיאורייה של גלאדוול. מסתבר שלא תמיד השפעה על המשפיעים משמעותית יותר. ארוך אבל שווה, חצי מאמר, חצי טור עתידני.

The Chocolate Mint Martini
. Which I never understood either. It’s worse than Purim. It is the “Day of Hostility Against Women with Boyfriends or Husbands Who Get Really Awesome Gifts While I am Single and I Hope You Die Day”. Otherwise known as Un-Valentine’s Day to the masses. Continue…

172 days ago · Authority: 2, which is lovely. I wanted to find a clip of her song Gray or Blue, which has fabulous lyrics: "I can't keep starin' at your mouth without wonderin' how it tastes." And if none of that works for you you can always try this article which takes a more bitter, cynical approach. I love the way the comments at the bottom rapidly descend into an argument about what's better, Macs or PCs - romance clearly isn't dead! Tonight I was going to fling myself right into the heart of romance,

Ejaculinguistic Ramblings
