I have no patience for Valentine's Day. None. But this is nice.

Happy Valentine's Day! XO, Etsy from Etsy on Vimeo.

I just read an article in the Swedish news where the journalist (a 30 something guy who probably has the snooziest taste in music you could ever hope for, and most likely listened to the Garden State soundtrack the last time he made love) was upset because American kids do not know who Paul McCartney is and they have been tweeting about it. Oh god, hold on to your fucking hat. How many more times do I have to agree that sure he was an integral part of music history. And sure, he has written some beautiful songs. Yes, I agree. But I am done now. He is the snooziest performer I have ever laid eyes and ears on. Why would any young kid need to know who he is, and why in the world would they care? SIR Paul McCartney, member of the Beatles and knighted by Queen Elizabeth, doesn't have enough fame, recognition and money? This writer finds it disrespectful that this one demographic doesn't know who he is? Give me a fucking break. I find it utterly refreshing.

Bon Anniversaire, Angela!

It was a day of eating. Other things that should be among these pictures but that did not make it before it hit our stomachs are eggs benedict, French dip au jus, and two bowls of pho.

Couple of oldies but still so good

Hello from ant1mat3rie on Vimeo.

Oh my god, you guys. My life just took a turn for the worse. Three of my favorite songs were all featured in the last Goop newsletter as "3 genius, 80’s influenced synth beauties" I feel lost. What is happening? Does this mean that I have to start talking about cleanses, 200 dollar face cream and name my kids after fruits?

This is what I would like to do for a few months.

This is so stupid in every possible way

Sleepy weekend

2011 was a sexy year

"And then on March 21st from out of nowhere (read: Canada), Abel Tesfaye, better known as The Weeknd, released House Of Balloons on his website. It’s a lascivious and infectious r&b mixtape that essentially made 2011 one hundred times sexier."

I love this

Ladies & Gentlemen, I give you, the 2012 Republican Presidential Candidates. In the words of one of my favorite writers "Send in the Clowns"

Michele Bachmann: "Don’t misunderstand. I am not here bashing people who are homosexuals, who are lesbians, who are bisexual, who are transgender. We need to have profound compassion for people who are dealing with the very real issue of sexual dysfunction in their life and sexual identity disorders.” (2004)

Ron Paul: "The rate of AIDS infection is on the increase again. From the gay point of view, the reasons seem quite sensible. First, these men don't really see a reason to live past their fifties. They are not married, they have no children, and their lives are centered on new sexual partners... because sex is the center of their lives, they want it to be as pleasurable as possible, which means unprotected sex. Third, they enjoy the attention & pity that comes with being sick." (1995 in a newsletter)

Rick Perry: "I'm not ashamed to admit that I'm a Christian, but you don't need to be in the pew every Sunday to know there's something wrong in this country when gays can serve openly in the military but our kids can't openly celebrate Christmas or pray in school. " (2011 in a campaign ad)

Mitt Romney: "I should tell my story. I'm also unemployed." (2011 while speaking to unemployed people in Florida. Romney's net worth is over $200 million.)

Newt Gingrich: "She's not young enough or pretty enough to be the wife of the President. And besides, she has cancer." (1994, about his first wife)

Rick Santorum: "Is anyone saying same-​sex couples can’t love each other? I love my children. I love my friends, my brother. Heck, I even love my mother-​in-​law. Should we call these relationships marriage, too?" (2008)

Michele Bachmann: "Carbon dioxide is portrayed as harmful. But there isn't even one study that can be produced that shows that carbon dioxide is a harmful gas." (2009 during a debate)

Mitt Romney: "PETA is not happy that my dog likes fresh air." (2006, when questioned about driving 12 hours with his dog in a cage strapped to the top of his car)
