Tofu!

 

Tofu is a food.  It is a delicious and nutritious food. 

Tofu is essentially a white soy bean curd.  It has a fun, squishy texture and is usually cut into small cubes. 

Tofu is meatless, and is marketed as a meat-replacement product for vegetarians.  And it is true that Tofu's cow-friendly ingredients form the basis of its appeal. But tofu does not taste like meat, does not serve the same functions as meat in a meal, and has enough of its own merits and attractions to lure even the most devoted carnivores.  

Some people do not like tofu.  These people say that tofu has no flavor.  These people are ignorant and beastly.  For while tofu does not taste like much on its own, its value lies in its versatility - it can be cooked, seasoned, and mixed to form a rich, delicious, and enjoyable center of almost any meal.   

Furthermore, tofu is like, so good for you.  Tofu contains ample quantities of protein, calcium and iron, all of which are things you really should be getting more of.  It also has almost no cholesterol and a surprisingly slim caloric content, making it both good and good for you. Have some tofu today!

The Missed Connections Section on CraigsList! 

The Missed Connections Section on CraigsList is a web page.  It is a web page for people who encountered someone to whom they were attracted, but did not pursue either because of nerves or unfavorable circumstances. 

Some of the people who post in the missed connections section on Craigslist are creepy.  These posts will make you laugh.  Most of the people who post in the missed connections section on Craigslist are charming.  These posts you will find cute.  

The missed connections section on Craigslist aims to provide its users with a second chance to meet interesting new people, a goal which is honorable enough to obscure the site's negligible effectiveness.  The web page also has the effect of giving readers an insight into the emotions and desires of the posters, thereby helping them to humanize strangers and, like, restore their faith in humanity.

Merriweather Post Pavilion! 

Merriweather Post Pavilion is an album.  It is an Animal Collective album. 

Animal Collective are one of the most successful genuinely creative bands making music today. A lot of people like to say that Animal Collective has 'sold out' because their past two or three albums have been more structurally coherent than some of their former work.  Moira recommends that you consider this a creative maturation, rather than a betrayal of principles.  Merriweather Post Pavilion is, after all, a very innovative record, and one that manages the rare feat of being intelligent and life-affirming at the same time.  When you listen to Merriweather Post Pavilion, you will feel oddly empowered, and your day will just get better from there.

Merriweather Post Pavilion is really more of a holistic album as opposed to a collection of singles but many of the songs stand very well on their own.  Moira recommends that you listen to "Summertime Clothes."

Wearing a dress! 

Wearing a dress makes your whole day better. It's a small and simple treat that makes you look good, feel good, and see the world through rose colored glasses.

Many women think that it is necessary to have a special occasion to wear a dress.  This is not so.  Dresses can be dressed up, dressed down, and, through the use off layering and creative incorporation of tights, can brighten your day in any weather!

Wearing a dress is fantastic!  Try it today!

Hug Time!

Hug Time is a book.  It is a children's book. 

Hug Time is by Patrick McDonnell, and tells the story of a small kitten who is so filled with love that he travels the world trying to hug everyone and everything. 

Hug Time is also the greatest accomplishment of philosophical thought of the twenty-first century.

Shortbus!

Shortbus is a movie.  It is a John Cameron Mitchell movie.  

Shortbus has a complicated plotline which Moira does not recommend you try to reproduce in the internet.  Suffice it to say that a group of frustrated New Yorkers that you care about very much all find themselves at an artistic and sexual salon, known as Shortbus. 

Shortbus features a lot of sex.  Shortbus features a lot of real sex.  But Shortbus is not pornographic, and nor is it about sex, at least not really.  Shortbus is about how sex makes us who we are.  It is not about fucking.  It is about living. 

Shortbus!
