John Mayer’s new girlfriend, Scheana Marie (which is apparently not her porn name?):

The former model, who has appeared in ads for Pioneer, Doritos, Nissan and...

metaflirtation, n.
The Merriam-Webster definition of flirtation is
2 a: to behave amorously without serious intent b: to show superficial or casual interest or liking <flirted with the idea>

You’d think it’s a full moon tonight, the way my neighbors are behaving. I don’t mean my actual neighbors, just the folks in my neighborhood.

Yesterday I hiked up to Twin Peaks with my roommate and two friends. It was blustery and windswept and AWESOME and I’d never done that before. I didn’t take pictures, partly because I knew at the time they wouldn’t have done it justice. On our return route, we took some strange backward trail past Sutro and UCSF graduate housing. Then we went to an open house. Four non-related...

However, since their tap would doubtlessly dribble only lemonade, and since those of us who’ve broken their rules would end up inside their oven, it’s probably best that we eat, drink, love, and strive for higher...
