NYCers, here’s a date idea for you: get lost in the stacks of the erotica & fetish room (and the rest of the archive) at Library180.

Microsoft Encarta world music shoutout!!! And on YouTube, it lives on!!

I’ll never forget how enchanted I was with the sound of that Egyptian oud at five years old.

How do I love thee? Let me count the ways: Tea light, soft boiled egg, toast & jam, crudités & dip, kiwi, bake a mini muffin, bake a mini apple tart, fig with mascarpone & honey~broiled, shrimp & cocktail sauce, dipping sauce/ mayonnaise, ring holder at the wash basin, salts, spices, nut cup, truffle cup, mini ice cream sundae, mouse in egg shell, sage sorbet intermezzo, display a favorite Ukrainian decorated egg, half lemon for squeezing, salad cream, pennies and cufflinks on dressing table, after-dinner-mints ~ and if God choose, I shall love thee better after death.

“This lonely scene, the galaxies like dust, is what most of space looks like. This emptiness is normal. The richness of our own neighborhood is the exception.”
