friends who are graduating: you are marvelous/ the gods wait to delight/ in you
The goodbyes I didn’t say
Friends, comrades, companions, partners in crime, brothers and sisters in mischief,
This has been such an amazing year pretty much exclusively because you were around and singlehandedly made it happen. You are wonderful human beings and I feel so incredibly lucky to have you in my life.
To those, whom I saw less than I wished to, which includes pretty much all of you for I am greedy: to quote Elvis Presley ‘you were always on my mind’ and I was constantly making plans to see you even if they did not materialize. By which I mean I shamelessly stalked you when I was supposed to be working. Time is infinite and I would wish for nothing else but to spend every bit of it in your company. So hit me up when you’re around, come visit me in my natural habitat if you are in Europe in June, let me know if you’re in Boston throughout the rest of the summer. Let’s make this happen.
To those, who are graduating - you will be sorely missed. Also, I am so proud of you. Having known you I am convinced that you will go on to do things bold and amazing and I will tell other people about you, trying to be cool by proxy. And while meeting you once is all the good luck one can hope for, I cannot stop myself from hoping we cross paths again (did I mention being greedy?).
Having you around has made me ever so happy and I have learned so much from you, mostly how to be kind and patient and considerate. You make me a better person.
Have wonderful summers, y’all. And if you ever decide to drop a note in whatever shape or form an let me know what you’re up to, it will never fail to make my day.
From rainy London I radiate love towards you all that is as fierce and relentless as the heat waves of summer.
Take care.

virgins of Russia unite
Putin Is For Lovers of the Day: With the Russian presidential election less than a week away, and with Prime Minister Vladimir Putin practically assured a third term, the former head of the FSB is free to have a little fun with his campaign ads.
And by “have a little fun,” I mean produce a creepy campaign ad suggesting he’s the perfect candidate for lovelorn virgins.
Putin: Safe as houses.

after Slavoj Žižek watched “Teeth”, he could never look at anything the same way
Sh*t Slavoj Žižek Says of the Day: Slavoj Žižek has a hate-hate relationship with tulips.
Transcript:
My relationship towards tulips is inherently Lynchian. I think they are disgusting. Just imagine. Aren’t these some kind of, how do you call it, vagina dentata, dental vaginas threatening to swallow you? I think that flowers are something inherently disgusting. I mean, are people aware what a horrible thing these flowers are? I mean, basically it’s an open invitation to all insects and bees, “Come and screw me,” you know? I think that flowers should be forbidden to children.

28 ways to make meetings more interesting
1. Discreetly clasp hold of someone’s hand and whisper: “can you feel it?” from the corner of your mouth.
2. Draw enormous genitalia on your notepad and discreetly show it to the person next to you for their approval.
3. When refreshments are presented, immediately distribute one biscuit to each of the attendees, then systematically smash each one with your fist in front of them.

I haven’t had to sit in boring meetings since I left my mind-numbing job two years ago, but I would have loved to give these a whirl. Numbers 10, 11, and 18 are especially good.
