In which we make very sure that Tony Danza is...
Stacey: Is Tony Danza dead?
Me: Not...that I know of?
Why?
Stacey: Just asking.
Me: Cursory Google turns up nothing.
Nothing on wiki or twitter either
Stacey: Noted. Good. I like him.
Me: But the amount of "hold me closer tony danza" tweets that come up is frightening.
Who said he was dead?
Stacey: No one. I just haven't heard anything about him in a while.
Me: So you were just concerned for his wellbeing?
Stacey: Exactly.
“The song makes references to a “Shawty” in a club who is wearing...”

Every sports fan ever
YOU GUYS, how about that <sports game>, huh? How hectic was that <relevant event during play>?! <Our team> was amazeballs, but <opposing team> can totally EAD. Also, the ref is a tosser.
“Resist the belief that you know everything about [feminism] already. Feminism is...”
– Snipped (slightly out of context) from Geordie Tait’s phenomenal article, “To My Someday Daughter”. It’s long, and aimed more at the gamer community than anything, but all his points are completely relevant and applicable to the world at large.

So they stayed up between the buildings, laughing and jumping, and holding onto each other’s arms. A security guard came running out of one of the office buildings to scream at them, his arm held up against the wind and rain.
“Are you stupid?” he yelled. “Get inside!”
“Fuck you!” Jane yelled at him, “These are our salad days!”

Another Damned Food Blog has me howling with laughter over almost every post. It might be Cape-Town-centric, but it’s still well worth a read for those not from here. Even if you don’t recognise the people/places, you’ll recognise the restaurant industry types and clichés.

In which we debate the lesser of two evils
Me: Dude, reports from London are getting pretty intense...are you guys alright?
Paul: Yeah, we're fine. Lucky we live a little way out of the city, so we're safe from the chavs so far. How're things in CT?
Me: No chavs. But we do have Julius Malema, so...
Paul: I think I'd rather take my chances with the looters.

Paywall
Her eyes were luminous and slightly panicked with the effort she was making to get the words out. Her hands fidgeted: plucked at the strap of her bag, twirled a strand of hair, tried desperately to stay in pockets, to no avail. She was awkward, beautifully so; and you sensed that what she was trying to say to you would change everything. “See, the thing is,” she said, “the thing...

Saudade
She was going to her hometown for the weekend; and seeing some of her childhood friends; both of which were not unusual occurrences. There was, however, an odd feeling of hesitation in the air. Perhaps it was the long week at work; perhaps it was her customary reluctance to spend a precious 48 hours somewhere she no longer had any real connection with. Either way, when the plane touched down at...

Google helps you find out more about what you love by aggregating relevant info from all its products on one page. Nifty little idea. Try searching for something kind of silly, like “cheese.”

And I’m in my pyjamas, watching House while eating the last of a wedge of brie by biting into it, and I find myself thinking THIS IS YOUR LIFE.
