Thief of Time

I do not have their words,
do not have their years or customs.
Passing them on the road,
shy as fog passing down
slopes into the valley,
I always give first utterance
or make an uncertain gesture.

My neighbors are kind,
knowing I am like rain,
that if they wait long enough,
in time I will go away.

It is the same for me in
all directions—under stars
swarming out of foothills,
on the gravel I churn
with my shoes—east, west, 
north, or south—the same.
If I remained in
this friendly place forever,
I would always be a stranger.

Paul Zimmer

When comments are better than the article, Atlantic edition (“The Cheapest Generation: Why Millennials arent’ buying cars or houses, and what that means for the economy”)

Every time someone says we’re a lazy and entitled generation I’m going to show them this

They should be happy most of us haven’t moved to the moon yet

That actually sounds like a good idea at this point

“Just get another job”

Yeah okay I’ll go get one from the job tree, along with everyone else who graduated with my qualifications while more are coming all the time

I was snapped at the rally yesterday!
Fair play to everyone who attended, there was a decent turnout. Also, see more photos here: http://www.broadsheet.ie/2013/05/18/meanwhile-at-the-central-bank-2/

So the first thing to come to mind was what if Aziriphale went and found the TARDIS…

crow bookshop

crowley 

no no no

that can’t be aziraphale’s bookstore and frankly i am appalled that anybody would draw that conclusion

i mean, look at the door. It’s wide open, and inviting. AND at a seemingly respectable time of day.

Nope, that can’t be Aziraphale’s bookstore.

It’s Crowley’s  bookstore. After the Almostpocalypse, he decided to open one himself, in friendly competition with Aziraphale.

It only sells trashy romance novels and misinformative DIY manuals.

that’s genius

so every year after the juniors finish reading The Great Gatsby my high school english teacher throws a Gatsby party at his huge house and everyone shows up in period clothing and Charlestons to 20s music and my english teacher just wears a suit and stands off to the side staring wistfully out the window the entire night

you guys think I’m joking??

Hayao Miyazaki

This is probably a big part of why I love all his films so much.
