I have 3 square canvases that I want to hang in the living room (here they are). The problem is we don't really have a space for them. We have this weird window into the dining room that takes up a big chunk of the wall.To put them below the space would have them almost on the couch. Above the TV is wrong. I need help.

Kat, if you have an unused corner in the living room you could put in a low 12"x12" corner shelf and attach the canvases to each other as the outward sides and top of a cube resting on the shelf.

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Derby: Well, crap.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Aren't they brilliant? The alphabet is mesmerising. I'm so jealous.

Why would you just up and redesign a keyboard this radically? How did they not think that was going to fuck people over?

Okay, this totally confused me at first. But I get it now. It's like setting a temporary password for your house. Kinda funny.

"I keep to a strict diet of ill-advised enthusiasm and heartfelt regret." Leigh Bardugo

Matt, that's a great idea. But I have no corners (book cases in two of them, TV in another and the 4th has a hat rack made out of hockey sticks and pucks)

So sad about the horse. A couple of days ago I heard Clinton saying people should bet on the filly and draw a connection between herself and the horse. I hope that she didn't really mean that.

Perkins, I LOVE your clock. That's so something that I would put in Noah's room! Adorable.

French women have sex 120 times per year.

Damn. I need to catch up.

Of course, now I'm also wondering what exactly constitutes an instance of having sex. Many times in one day, surely. Many times in one...session?

Because books.

French women have sex 120 times per year.

That's a little more than twice a week. Which, for someone in a relationship, is totally doable. But if that's an average ... either the committed women are having LOTS more sex a week to throw the curve, or the women hooking up randomly are pretty damn lucky.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I got up entirely too late. I got some stuff done, spent an assload of money at home depot and spent the afternoon planting out on the balcony. It's making me insanely happy.

I need to ask lori for help installing the new shower head since it is confusing the hell out of me.

My parents sent me a bouquet of pink roses for my pink kitchen. Well, it'll be pink tomorrow. Today it is 3 boxes short of unpacked.

Those numbers tell me that hot Frenchmen are definitely the way to go. I call dibs on Michael Vartan!
