Also related to Rikki Ducornet, I am always jealous of writers who happen to cool sexy casual portraits of themselves from their youth, all primed up for the biography cover. Instead all of my young writer shots are like “mom got me neoprene waders for christmas”

Some friends just informed me of this fact, I like it very much, my review is lol
![Ducornet is the subject of the Steely Dan song "Rikki Don't Lose That Number." 13) Steely Dan singer Donald Fagen had met her at Bard College. "31 Ducornet says they met at a college party, and even though she was married at the time, he gave her his number.
Ducornet was intrigued by Fagen and was tempted to call him, but she decided against it. She later told an interviewer, "Philosophically it's an interesting song; I mean I think his 'number' is a cipher for the self."

I admire that this graffito 1) clearly articulates the existence of a capybara-based economic system, and 2) takes no position for or against it

A fun thing I’ve been doing is singing the lyrics from Wire’s “Kidney Bingoes” to the tune of the Beach Boys’s “Little Surfer”

Natural splits sunburn jets pride marks smart bets
Strikers luck pitch backs heap tips pit slacks
Dressed pints demon shrinks bread drunk dead drinks
Stretch clubs models box draw skin black shocks, and
