Victoria Morgan - How to Succeed in Heartbreak

How to succeed in heartbreak without really trying.

First, do nothing. Become one with your couch.

Eating whole stacks of Oreo’s like leaning towers of feelings.

Watch Jane Austen adaptations until your eyes become raisins.

Relish in Colin Firth emerging from the lake in a white shirt.

 

If you must do something, drink. But keep it classy.

Put your cheap wine in a glass, you aren’t a pirate.

Talk to yourself.

Talk to yourself in the mirror, on public transportation, in the middle of the foun...

Wichita Lineman

R.E.M.'s take on Jimmy Webb's classic "existential country song" "Wichita Lineman" (1994) made famous by Glenn Campbell who recorded the song in 1968. Campbell passed away Tuesday at the age of 81.

 

I am a lineman for the county
And I drive the main road
Searchin' in the sun for another overload

 

I hear you singing in the wire
I can hear you thru the whine
And the Wichita lineman
Is still on the line

 

I know I need a small vacation
But it don't look like rain
And if it snows that stretch down so...

Tomba del Tuffatore

The Tomb of the Diver is an archaeological monument, built in about 470 BC and found by the Italian archaeologist Mario Napoli on 3 June 1968 during his excavation of a small necropolis about 1.5 km south of the Greek city of Paestum in Magna Graecia, in what is now southern Italy. The tomb is now displayed in the museum at Paestum.

It is a grave made of five local limestone slabs forming the four lateral walls and the roof, the floor being excavated in the natural rock ground. The five slab...

Oh, You Pretty Things

David Bowie - Oh, You Pretty Things. Live from the BBC, 1972

 

Wake up you sleepy head
Put on some clothes, get out of bed
Put another log on the fire for me
I've made some breakfast and coffee
Look out my window and what do I see
A crack in the sky
and a hand reaching down to me
All the nightmares came today
And it looks as though they're
here to stay

 

What are we coming to
No room for me, no fun for you
I think about a world to come
Where the books were found by the Golden ones
Written in pain, writte...

Martin Parr on Oxford

From Vice:

Martin Parr's new book both confirms and challenges the many preconceptions about one of Britain's most famous institutions, the University of Oxford. A "training camp" for the nation's leaders, Oxford embodies all the contradictions and oddities of British society at large, according to Parr.

Oxford by Martin Parr, with an afterword by Simon Winchester, is released on the 7th of September, 2017 by Oxford University Press, and a selection of the work will be on display at th...

E.J. Koh - Trilogy

They tell me, Go to sleep. If they love me
they say, Go to sleep until I am a wide plain.
Go to sleep. Until the oh’s are ironed into ah’s.

 

Go to sleep, they say until I am a blue horizon.
Sleep until the milk is legend, left to wash feet
in the morning. Legend stops the rot of people.

 

There is no big bright word for leaving.
There is no rest so pained as I am pained by rest.
Sleep like a good, sharp knife.
