When I was 21 I read “Anna Karenina.” I thought Anna and Vronsky were soul mates. They were deeply in love and therefore had to be together. I found Karenin cruel and oppressive for keeping his wife from her destiny. Levin and Kitty and the peasants bored me. I read those parts quickly. Last year I turned 49, and I read the book again. This time, I loved Levin and Kitty. I loved the fact that after she declined his proposal he waited for a long time to mend his hurt feelings and then asked her again. I loved that she had grown up in the interim and now felt grateful for a second chance. Anna and Vronsky bored me. I thought Anna was selfish and shrill. My heart went out to poor Karenin, who tried to be decent. What has literature taught me about love? Literature (along with experience) has taught me that love means different things at different points in our lives, and that often as we get older we gravitate toward the quieter, kinder plotlines, and find them to be richer than we had originally understood them to be.

Nicki Minaj: *talks about racial inequality in music industry*

Taylor Swift: *misses the point. Later realizes her mistake and tries to smooth things over. Stops talking about it on Twitter and therefore stops providing the media with new material to further spin this as a "cat fight."*

Katy Perry: *misses point entirely. Ignores Nicki. Jumps in a day late and makes a cheap jab at Taylor.*

Media: *forgets Nicki Minaj entirely and changes the discussion from prejudice and racism in the industry to about a fight between two white women*

Nicki Minaj: *stares at the camera like an episode of The Office*

“Opposites attract” should be reserved for like “she’s messy and he’s neat!” Not like “she’s supportive and he’s a soul-sucking toxic person!”

“People take pictures of the happy moments in their lives. Someone looking through our photo album would conclude that we had led a joyous, leisurely existence… free of tragedy. No one ever takes a photograph of something they want to forget.” (x)

Robin Williams (1951 - 2014)

Rep Fest: I feel like in the Classic Rock/Music fandom a lot of people are really preoccupied with the British Invasion artists and other white artists (ie: Elvis Presley, Buddy Holly etc, etc.) They don’t seem to know about some of the black artists that were making just as big of a splash in America at that time. So, I thought this was a good time to showcase some of the awesome black men and women who were making great music at that time.
