Me:
I hate this draft. I want to punch my computer.
BFF:
You gotta go monk. Caw! Caw!
Me:
You're right. *accompanying Zoolander hand gestures*
BFF:
I wonder what the literary equivalent of pulling your underwear out of your pants is. Bad ass first draft on the first try?
Me:
I was going to say making millions of dollars off of sparkling vampires.
BFF:
I think that's too much time. You need something more immediate.
Me:
Yeah. That's probably more like winning Male Model of the Year and not just a slashie.

These are amazing.

apophatic:


Jason deCaires Taylor’s underwater sculptures create a unique, absorbing  and expansive visual seascape. Highlighting natural ecological  processes Taylor’s interventions explore the intricate relationships  that exist between art and environment. His works become artificial  reefs, attracting marine life, while offering the viewer privileged  temporal encounters, as the shifting sand of the ocean floor, and the  works change from moment to moment.

if it’s hip, it’s here.
