“We are not concerned”, he said, “with long-winded creations, with long term beings. Our creatures will not be heroes of romances in many volumes. Their roles will be short, concise; their characters — without a background. Sometimes, for one gesture, for one word alone, we shall make the effort to bring them to life. We openly admit: we shall not insist on either...

Bulliet > Sazerac > Wild Turkey > Jim Beam > Old Overholt
Bulliet is great. For the price difference, Wild Turkey beats Sazerac. Very little point in Jim Beam rye. A great way to drink Old Overholt: get a large ice tea tumbler, fill up with ice cubes (not crushed ice) to the top, then pour on the Old Overcoat. Let the ice melt until the drink is very cold. It’s like ice...

Definitely a bit of an arbitrary stat, but regardless, it’s still really awesome that Westbrook is establishing himself alongside such great company despite all the criticism he’s received.

I Among twenty snowy mountains, The only moving thing Was the eye of Wallace Stevens.
II I was of three minds, Like a tree In which there are three of Wallace Stevens.
III Wallace Stevens whirled in the autumn winds. It was a small part of the pantomime.
IV A man…
I’m sorry, but I’m old and so out of touch with the kids these days. Are there places where it is assumed that Die Antwoord is something besides a fairly transparent joke? Seriously. Everyone knows this is satire, right?
