Morrissey’s New Ode to Paris -- Vulture →
Morrissey’s new song, “Throwing My Arms Around Paris”, is perfect because it’s everything a Morrissey song should be.
I mean, a few lyrics:
“I’m throwing my arms around Paris because only stone and steel accept my love.”

WatchThis is relevant to me right now because while I don’t normally opt for Chinese food, I did a few nights ago in honor of the tradition most Jews are familiar with — commonly called “Christmas”. Anyhow, NYT writer Jennifer 8. Lee (yes, her middle name is 8) has written a book called The Fortune Cookie Chronicles, in which she explores the attemps to answer all the vexing...

ljm:I like my name; I also like when people call me Linds and I can usually remember the first occurrence of each friend I have calling me by that name. So, just yesterday, I was thinking about how it’s strange that Syd doesn’t ever call me Linds, since we love each other and since he hears other people call me that all the time.

People involved in shipping (or shippers) assert that the relationship does exist, will exist, or simply that they would like it to exist.
