The Lure Of the Terrible

Like good things tempt us, bad things tempt us even more. When I say bad I don't necessarily mean sinful or decadent or even libertine in any way. I mean BAD as in how-in-God's-name-was-this-allowed-type bad. Movies fall into this category very well, thankfully because sometime your brain likes the jolt that comes from watching something...

I am Ryland – the story of a male-identifying little girl who didn’t transition

A beautifully written, non-preachy, non-judgemental blog post by a beautiful woman who was quite a “boy” while growing up. She talks about being a *person* vs being a male or female.

Something to aspire to.

Resto Reco- Tabula Rasa

Tabula Rasa may be a clean slate but it shows you its quirky side through its menus, the little quips and a nice, mellow, chilled out owner who take your orders, brings you food and also checks if it's burptastic rather than sit on a lofty perch somewhere or have a cell phone stuck to his...

The Mumbling Husband

Originally published in- http://fortunatecave.livejournal.com/110328.html Red mumbles. And quite likely, I'm going deaf in one ear. This is how it happened:  I was saying something about Mumaith Khan  Red said something I heard as thus- She looks like Cromwell. Me: Cromwell? Oliver Cromwell? Eeks!! Red: Cromwell?!! I said kaamwaali!! *walks away shaking his head at me... Continue Reading →
