"Love is a temporary madness. It erupts like an earthquake and then subsides. And when it subsides you have to make a decision. You have to work out whether your roots have become so entwined together that it is inconceivable that you should ever part. Because this is what love is. Love is not breathlessness, it is not excitement, it is not the promulgation of promises of eternal passion. That is just being "in love" which any of us can convince ourselves we are. Love itself is what is left over when being in love has burned away, and this is both an art and a fortunate accident. Your mother and I had it, we had roots that grew towards each other underground, and when all the pretty blossom had fallen from our branches we found that we were one tree and not two."Also, Amber found this on one of her favorite tumblrs:
Not sure what I think of committed love as being "empty" but still it's kind of a neat infographic.
Amber thinks near ubiquitous DVR + stuff like Hulu means less common talk about big shows. Or it's the fragmenting audience?
Tip of the Day: if IE seems to be insisting a div be taller than the height you set for it, try cranking down "font-size" as well...
followup to that "Dinner with Cupid" Boston Globe blind date from last year. I have "self-described chatterbox" ways!
For years I've been bummed about how little noise I make when I blow my nose; Amber says the trick is to nasally inhale first. INHALE? Whoa. Have I been missing out this whole time???
