Please watch my friend Chris Gethard kill it on Conan last night.
What a world we live in.
Violet: Oh, good Heavens, what am I sitting on?
Matthew: A-swivel chair.
Violet: Another modern brain wave?
Matthew: Not very modern. They were invented by Thomas Jefferson.
Violet: Why does everyday involve a fight with an American?
Matthew: I’ll fetch a different one.

Favorite Places in New York: Pat Kiernan
The most trusted man in New York.

I really, really want to go to Paris.

Vanity Fair: Why I'm Giving Up On "Glee"
Accurate.
Even though it’s a dark and brooding song, and he speaks pretty bluntly about tough things, there’s always that feeling that somehow you’ll get through it. I know a lot of people now are dealing with similar issues, but you work through it and hold on to what you have. In the song, he talks about still striving to find a way to live your life filled with joy and wonder and staying all together…
—novelist Thomas Mullen on R.E.M.’s ”Sweetness Follows” via our series on songs for winter
This is a song that means a great, great deal to me, from one of the most important albums in my life ever.
Live your life filled with joy and thunder.
