By O. Henry
One dollar and eighty-seven cents. That was all. And sixty cents of it was in pennies. Pennies saved one and two at a time by bulldozing the grocer and the vegetable man and the butcher until one’s cheeks burned with the silent imputation of parsimony that such close dealing implied. Three times Della counted it. One dollar...

Listening to Christmas music and making Christmas...
It’s that time of year, you guys. We picked up our tree last night and will be decorating later today. Plus my perfect boyfriend figured out a way to get us to my parents’ house for Christmas despite the exorbitant airline prices. And I am SO DAMN HAPPY right now. For reference of how much I LOVE Christmas, please see last year’s post.

"The West Wing"
C.J.: Duchamp was the father of Dadaism.
TOBY: I know.
C.J. [dryly]: The dada of Dada.
