I just returned from the 2014 Moody Blues Cruise. The lineup was amazing and I am still floating on air after this cruise. Highly recommend this cruise if there is another one. That being said, I am reviewing the ship "Divina" This ship is magnificent and the crew was beyond reproach. There was never one minute of want or need on my part. The ship was spotless and there was never one moment that I didn't see crew members constantly cleaning. The large balcony state room was very, very nice. Upon arrival, I was dismayed to see that the twin beds were still apart even though I had requested they be made into one large King. All it took was one phone call to guest services and, as soon as I left my room, my room steward must have come in and moved them together and remade the bed. Amazing service.
The only issue was with the buffet. I was not pleased with the selections, although the food that was there was delicious!
I highly recommend this ship and am looking forward to cruising on the Divina in the near future.
I was beyond pleased with the embarkation and disembarkation process. I was off the ship and through customs within ten minutes!!!! Amazing. On previous cruises out of Galveston, the disembarkation process was an ordeal that I would not care to repeat. I was thrilled with the organization with which we were off the ship and through customs.

Mike Verdu's Zynga avatar may receive some extended use, even after his departure from the company, which is now an investor in his new venture. Zynga / Michael del Castillo
Zynga (Nasdaq: ZNGA) is investing in the future of mobile gaming, which is no real big surprise considering mobile is considered one of it's weak points. The strange thing though, is the investment isn't in one of it's own divisions, but in an unnamed startup spun out by one recently departed executive staff member.
The social gaming company this morning confirmed to AllThingsD that Mike Verdu, the company's now former chief creative officer, has left after three years to start his own mobile gaming business. And Zynga's chief executive says they will tag along for the ride.
"Zynga will be on the ground floor with Mike on his next venture as an investor in his new start-up," said CEO Mark Pincus in a release.
And based on the statement Verdu gave to AllThingsD, it seems the transition is a civil one on both sides, as he went out of his way to emphasize that the exit has nothing to do with Zynga's struggles. The company has experienced a stock drop from $10 a share and a $7 billion valuation, to today's rate of $3 per share and a $2.3 billion valuation.
"I think this will be a good thing for me and for Zynga," Verdu told AllThingsD. "I'm concerned about how this might be viewed with what else is going on, but it's not a function of anything else going on at the company."
Nevertheless, as the report also made clear, one of Zynga's "weak spots" is mobile gaming, and getting on board with a promising young startup in the industry is a safe way to expand while minimizing the fallout should the venture fail. But like Verdu said, Zynga isn't the only one benefiting from the deal.
Michael earned his BA from Mercer University, along the way excavating a Roman bathhouse with the American School of Archaeology. Plus, he provided security at Oxford University, where he also studied literature and philosophy. He earned his MS from Columbia University's Graduate School of Journalism while training for and running in the New York marathon.

Yes, Mad Men Is a Soap Opera—and That Shouldn't Be an Insult - Akash Nikolas - The Atlantic
I am pretty okay with this.
Yes, Mad Men Is a Soap Opera—and That Shouldn't Be an Insult - Akash Nikolas - The Atlantic
I am pretty okay with this.
— Bob Benson (via seanfennessey)
(via seanfennessey)
A writer interviews her mom about being a secretary at Playboy in the 60s.
Entertainment for Women - The Morning News
Speaking of "too late", how great was the way Mad Men did that repeated scene in "The Other Woman"? It's such a perfect move; you see it once as Don rushing in to be the hero, and you wonder whether it's enough. Then you see it again with new information, and you realize the Don-as-hero angle was kind of fantasy, like that scene in "The Wheel" where he gets home in time to go away for Thanksgiving with his family…except that he doesn't. Don's perspective is a sort of race against time to save the girl tied to the train tacks; Joan knows that she's already been run over. (And she's always already been run over, I think; this is probably the most direct time Joan's ever had to do something like this, but I'm sure it is not the only time sex has been transactional for her.) The conversation didn't stop just because Don left the room.
(Also since this came up, I don't buy that this was out of character for Don. Dude has major virgin-whore issues, and since he knows and likes Joan he doesn't see her as someone you sell. I can see the current "new Don" trying see himself as the guy with integrity in the situation.)
A Meditation on Mailer, Pete Campbell and The Language of Men
"His anger often derived from nothing: the set of a pair of far lips, the casual heavy thump of the serving spoon into his plate, or the resentful conviction that the cook was not serving him enough." —Norman Mailer, "The Language of Men"
Pete Campbell presents a whole different kind of masculinity issue than does our mainstay Don. From S1E1 Pete's been a mess of insecurities, all stemming from the essential Pete nugget that he simply doesn't know very much about people. Wavering between the petulance of a child and the brimming over-confidence of a teenager, Pete is his own worst enemy.
He's quick to lash out — recall this is not the first time he's been in a fight at the office. He punched poor Kenny for his indelicate comments about fair Pegs back in season 1! Of course, that might have had something to do with his extreme jealousy of Ken — this comes only a few episodes after Ken gets his first story published in The Atlantic. And he's become so used to shooting off his passive-aggressive sniping comments and being ignored that when Lane actually challenges him to a fight, he's floored. He's not used to being directly confronted or spoken to about much of anything, really.
Here's Mailer again:
"He became aware again of his painful desire to please people, to discharge responsibility, to be a man. When he had been a child, tears had come into his eyes at a cross word, and he had lived in an atmosphere where his smallest accomplishment was warmly praised."
Pete has some…issues with recognition and pride, no? He craves it desperately, and yet he's either so unctuous or so biting that even when he does good work, people are reluctant to reward him. This man, who was so spoiled in his youth, finds that his peers don't like him at all. When he pitifully says at the end of "Signal 30" that "This is an office. We're supposed to be friends", we get the sense that he actually means it. That SCDP holds the only friendships he's ever known! This coming on the heels of Don telling Megan that the people at work are not her friends only underscores Pete's essential misunderstanding about other people and his innate loneliness that comes from being excluded.
As decent as Pete has become at his job, he's never gotten over his puppy love with Don Draper, the man he has been trying to get a reaction as long as he's graced our screens. When flattery didn't work, Pete turned to subterfuge. None of it seemed to work very well, but Pete is still giving Don the biggest steak.
"…with his heart aching he lunged toward Hobbs. He had no hope of beating him. He merely intended to fight until he was pounded unconscious, advancing the pain and bruises he would collect as collateral for his self-respect."
"[He] began to wonder about the things which made him different. He was no longer so worried about becoming a man; he felt that to an extent he had become one. But in his heart he wondered if he would ever learn the language of men."
So then of course, Pete does get called on his pervasive misanthropy and reflex anger toward the rest of the world. And in every glance and gesture, Pete has always tried to ape the standard masculinity: he tries to dress like Don, he blusters through work drinks living up to Roger, he commits adultery after the both of them. And yet even when he's embraced the trappings of masculinity, he still can't connect. He hates himself for it because it's not what he wants, and Don hates him for it because it seems like such a poor imitation of the thing he himself does. Everything Pete does has an air of forcedness to it, because it just doesn't come naturally to him — the language of men.
*Footnote by Natasha Simons
PETE!!!! I think he is shaping up to be the best character arc on the whole show, you guys.
Pete Campbell is the best-worst. I've been obsessed with his insecure masculinity since he had to return the chip-and-dip.
I mean, I would hope that even people who dislike Betty can admit that storyline (and that fat suit) is an objectively terrible thing to do to a formerly nuanced and interesting character.
It's embarrassing, Matt Weiner. You're embarrassing.
Let me elaborate: putting aside any loyalties I have to Betty and the memory of her fascinating character in earlier seasons (because that's wafted away on the breeze), that storyline served absolutely zero purpose except to hint that Don still has feelings for Betty (calling her "Birdy" for one thing) and vice versa, as clumsily as that was done. (It was mostly just Henry, Don, Megan, and Betty staring off into the distance.)
It's a weirdly humiliating thing to do to a character who has only ever been about appearances, without giving us really any background as to why she would lose her largely defining hobby. Do you know what I mean? We kept hearing she was depressed or bored, but God, she was that in spades during her marriage to Don, and I didn't see her getting fat then? And it's not as if she doesn't have to "try hard" for Henry, or whatever, because he's also very handsome, AND, he's more in the spotlight than Don ever was.
Why did Betty give up her preoccupation with vanity when she would need it now more than ever? Could you, the writers' room of Mad Men, let us know that? Or did we need just one more scene of Don betraying her confidences to someone because he's having a boohoo moment with mortality?
I hate this story line. I hate the fat face makeup they have January Jones in. (As a lady who is probably not all that different from Betty size-wise I promise that most women don't gain all their weight in their chin first; I really feel like she should still have a neck.) I do think that they could have told this story in a way that is true to the Betty we know. I do feel like it is possible that she doesn't need to "try hard" for Henry because she feels safe with him in a way she never did with Don (which also explains why she's kind of a jerk to him when he's the sweetest to her, because she knows he won't up and disappear the way Don did constantly, but just being married to someone who is less terrible than Don Draper isn't going to fix all Betty's shit so all the stuff she bottled up with Don is still coming out). Like, maybe she's just "fat" because she's letting herself eat for the first time in her adult life? We've seen Betty vomit before but I don't know if we've actually seen her eat? Obviously she believes that all her value lies in her appearance and she's apparently "given up" (though I really hate the association of fatness and weakness/softness) which is why she's so hard on herself and why she doesn't get that Henry still finds her attractive. But all we've really seen is "HAHA two sundaes!"
As Michelle Dean's noted this is a storyline with a lot of potential to explore the politics of diet in the period (and by extension, now!) but we really didn't see this. Maybe things will get richer and the show will do more with eating and fatness than making it a symbol for sadness and weakness. In season one Peggy's pregnancy weight gain never seemed this simple even before we knew what it was. (At the time it kind of seemed like the sexual attention she was getting freaked her out so much that she was gaining weight as a way to stop being perceived as a sex object and just be allowed to do her job; in the end it wasn't the case, but the fact that it felt possible made the pregnancy-plus-denial storyline so much more interesting.) One thing I loved about the early seasons of Mad Men was just how unlikable all the characters were - the acting was great and they were all so beautiful, but these were not people you'd want to be friends with. They were complex, messy, ugly people who were shaped by the society and the time they lived in; you felt for them and were interested in them but you didn't always like them (except maybe Joan but I think that was mostly Christina Hendricks' unstoppable charisma). I feel like the turn came when the whole gang founded SCDP (link is to a thing I wrote about it then) and they were a lovable ragtag renegade team of…advertisers? The only person who didn't come out that well is Betty. I always thought that it was a pretty brave choice to keep Betty unlikable, to show how ugly oppression and abuse can make somebody; but at this point I'm not sure what they're doing.
Don (thinking): Betty probably wouldn't want other people to know she has cancer.
Don (to Megan, Roger, all of SCDP, the protesters on the streets downstairs): Betty has cancer!!!
Yes, to me this was the weirdest part of a weird cruel storyline! Don never tells anyone anything! Why does the new Don tell everyone everything? I really am hoping they are going somewhere with this?
What seems to be the most ubiquitous mistake in Mad Men is so frequent as to be invisible: the phrase "I need to." Modern scripts set in 1960s, including Mad Men, use it constantly: it's about as frequent as everyday words like "good," "between," or "most." But to say "I need to" so much is a surprisingly modern practice: books, television shows, and movies from the 1960s use it at least ten times less often, and many never use it all. Sixties dialogue written back then used "ought to" far more often than modern imitators do. I checked several movies and TV seasons from 1960 to 1965, and all use "ought to" more often than "need to"; every modern show I could find set in the '60s does the reverse. Google Ngrams shows the trend clearly as well.
That's just a statistic, but it hints at something deeper. Even more than anachronism, a core theme of Mad Men is the lost art of personal reserve, self-effacement, and mystery. When Don Draper says, "Tell Jimmy I need to talk to him" in season 2 instead of "I have to talk to him," it hits a slightly more narcissistic, self-revealing note than it should. A baby boomer might set up a business meeting by invoking his personal needs; but a member of the "silent generation"—particularly one living a double life like Draper—doesn't talk about himself quite so readily."
"The Foreign Language of 'Mad Men'"
This article has likely been posted a hundred times, but I love this observation.
(via teenageart)
This is fascinating! I don't super-care about Mad Men not being perfectly historically accurate - it's a show about looking at the past from the vantage point of now, and the kind of outside-the-characters insight that gives us, and they've made some really anachronistic music choices before (remember the Decemberists song they used in season 2?) - but I'm not sure what I think about this.
"It's her father's bedroom, and despite Sally and Don being neatly framed between the door jambs, they still don't occupy the central area of the screen. Technically, nothing does, but scan down and the audience can see what it shortly will, only not from Sally's perspective yet–the small of Megan's back and the curve of her hips. Something is coming between Draper and the only woman he loves unconditionally, and Sally can see that something's ass."
We only got a couple of scenes with Sally but this write up on the cinematography of the hallways and homes of Draper and Co is really fucking smart.
This post makes me really happy.
Check out this week's Lives column in the New York Times Magazine. I wrote it. It's about my relationship with my mother, dresses, and Mad Men. Funny enough, it's one of the most personal things I've written!
Bonus fun facts: my mom loves Mad Men now, but it literally took "watching each episode twice, to get through the bad feelings." She even considered getting cable to watch this season. For this piece, she had to get fact checked by the New York Times Magazine. She also called me at one point to point out some typos in a draft. She's really great.
This is a truly fantastic piece. The way Elisabeth brings together her and her mother's lives through the lens of "Mad Men" — without stretching or exploiting — is really elegant.

The WWE has only announced the first two names for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame inductions - The Ultimate Warrior and Jake "The Snake" Roberts. According to Rajah.com on Feb. 6, there is supposed to be one more name as big as Roberts and Warrior still to come.
Right now, it is almost considered a lock for manager Paul Bearer to enter the WWE Hall of Fame this year, although he has not been announced. There is also the WWE rumors that they might induct a match this year, but they are possibly waiting to see if Mr. T will return for the ceremony.
There is also a good chance a Diva will be inducted. Word is that Stephanie McMahon met with Stacy Keibler recently in New York City and pitched the idea of the WWE Hall of Fame induction as well as Keibler making an appearance at "Wrestlemania 30" as a backstage correspondent. Word is that a financial offer was made.
If Keibler rejects the offer and declines the invitation, there is also a chance that Lita could be the Diva brought in for the 2014 WWE Hall of Fame. There is also a chance legendary wrestling star Danny Hodge could get inducted as well. Cyndi Lauper is also rumored for the celebrity wing.
The question now remains about who the WWE believes could enter this year on the level of a Jake "The Snake" Roberts or Ultimate Warrior. The biggest idea is "Macho Man" Randy Savage, although that still has some hurdles to get over. More likely, it will be someone like The Honky Tonk Man, who was invited before but had to turn it down due to prior commitments.

By now you know that a handful of companies have pulled their advertising from Rush, including AOL. This morning we learn that 2 radio stations have ceased to air his show. Funny isn't it? There's no problem with trampling on our Constitution – they keep donating to Obama - but say the word 'slut' about someone who wants US to pay for her birth control and religion be damned – well then hold on to your boot straps people! The Daily Kos has been a major player in getting the left to call/fax/email sponsors demanding their drop. I find this all too convenient. For one thing, as we learned yesterday the handful of companies are in fact politically left companies that knew they needed the 'political right's' money to make a profit. Now, by leaving Rush do they really believe this attention will bring them 'new business'? Eh good luck with that! There are hundreds of stories out there depicting the hypocrisy of the left – shall we recall the left's attack on Palin, Bachmann, Malkin? Nope, we won't. Democrats have launched an aggressive push, calling on GOP leaders to publicly disavow Limbaugh's comments. Hmm does anyone recall Republicans launching such an attack on Democrat leaders when these comments were made http://www.mrc.org/eye-culture/hate-and-bile-left-wing-attacks-women-get-little-press
The interesting thing here is that Rush apologized – (something I didn't think he should of done but as he explained it yesterday – he apologized b/c he realized he had done something the left does, he descended to their level using derogator names and that, he regretted) but the left is STILL not satisfied. Why? Because they want him off the air. Want some proof – read the Kos story today:
This saga truly depicts the struggle we face. The Left wants the Right to shut up and go away
(visit Breitbart to view some of the left's latest rantings on this).
The Right will die defending their right to free speech.
Need I say anything more?

"What is happening" is an all-out assault not just on Rush Limbaugh but also on me and YOU assuming you are opposed to Obama and his regime taking over America. If you approve of what is happening then you and I have nothing in common – We are enemies. That's pretty much it……
Because this assault is in progress it is impossible to define it at any one point in time. Do I believe Rush will survive "this". Yes, I do. Because I know the history and I know the nature of the enemy we are dealing with.
Silencing all opposition has always been an essential strategy for The Obama Regime. Expect excoriating editorials from your local liberal media. Expect every liberal columnist to be self-righteously indignant "defending their poor innocent Joan of Arc". They smell "blood" and they will be going all-out to get it. Do I think they will succeed? No.
This has absolutely nothing to do with Rush Limbaugh using "a bad word" to describe a left-wing activist. This has nothing to do with the "poor little coed". If you think that's what this is all about; you are beyond naïve. If that's what you believe then you are "on their side". If you are not outraged at this assault – then you are "on their side".
If "using a bad word to describe a political opponent" was a crime worthy of such retaliation there would be bodies stacked like cordwood on the political battlefield. This is a coordinated all-out attack to silence opposition to the Obama Regime.
If you "blame Rush" it's a safe bet you are also "blaming Mitt Romney and Santorum and Gingrich and Paul et al". You are hedging your bet to believing "maybe Obama isn't so bad after all". You have bought the media lie and you have given up; hoping maybe if you don't speak out, you will be spared when Obama's minions come to take away the rest of your freedomsy. Polish Jews tried that pacifist approach w/ the Nazis.
That "they" routinely call Sarah Palin, Michelle Bachman, Tea Party members, and YOU and me much worse "bad names" is totally true but that doesn't phase "them" one bit.
These are the union thugs rioting in Wisconsin….. the Occupier slugs urinating on public property…. the black panthers outside voting places…. Bill Mahre, Chris Matthews, Harry Reid, Nancy Pelosi, Barney Frank, Jeremiah Wright, and Barack Obama. It's the arrogant weasel columnist at your local newspaper. The clueless talking head on your network affiliate.
If you find anything remotely "OK" about these people, then you are "on their side". If you think this is just the usual "partisan political haggling" then you are "on their side".
If you are "on their side" then you are my enemy.

Franks POV
{{Franks POV}}
When Frank woke up, he was dizzy and lightheaded. He sat up and looked around, realizing he was in his own bed, and found a damp washcloth by him. The room was dark so Frank couldn't see much farther than his face. His head pounding, Frank got out of his bed and stumbled to his door. Opening the bedroom door, Frank could see the flashing lights from his television and could faintly hear it. He figured Gerard was out in the living room so he made his way there to find Gerard passed out on the couch. Frank turned the tv off and sat on the couch next to Gerard before he fell over since he was so lightheaded. As Frank sat down, Gerard woke up. "Sorry I woke you." Frank half mumbled.
"Its ok. What time is it?" Gerard asked sleepily.
"No idea." Frank said closing his eyes and leaning his head against the back of the couch to relieve the pressure from his head.
"How are you feeling?" Gerard asked moving closer to Frank. He felt Gerard's hand on his forehead for a brief moment. "Frankie, you're still burning up." Gerard told him in a worried voice.
"I'm just really lightheaded." He told him with his eyes still shut.
"You should be in bed!" Gerard raised his voice slightly as he spoke. Frank just moaned and kept his eyes shut. "So get your ass there!" Gerard ordered him.
"I'm fine." Frank snapped back at him. "I told you I have a really bad headache, and that's all!" Frank grabbed his head and leaned farther back on the couch, pain coursing through his skull.
"Bullshit and you know it!" Gerard sounded pissed off but Frank just ignored him. Suddenly, Gerard lifted Frank from the couch and carried him back to the bedroom. He put Frank on the bed where Frank had woken up minutes before. "Keep your ass there!" He told Frank and then left. Frank buried his head in his pillow, trying anything to relieve the pressure. Never had he felt so much pain and it was quickly becoming unbearable for him. A few moments later, Gerard returned and sat on the bed next to Frank. "Here." he said to Frank, his voice soft again.
"What?" Frank mumbled, trying not to move too much. He found that the pain would subside a bit if he remained motionless. Gerard lifted Frank's head slowly up and put an icepack wrapped in a dish towel on Frank's pillow then put Frank's head back down.
"I also brought you some water." He said softly. "I'll leave it on your nightstand." Gerard kissed Frank's cheek before getting off the bed and heading for the door. The ice pack made Frank feel significantly better, but his head still pounded and he got the rest of himself comfortable then closed his eyes, eventually falling asleep.
When Frank opened his eyes, his bedroom was illuminated from the sun's morning rays. The light filled his room but was still dim so he knew it was still early morning. He lifted his head slowly and was relieved that he no longer had so much pressure trapped inside his head. Frank still had a pretty bad headache but it was nowhere near as bad as the one he had the previous night. Still exhausted, Frank put his head back on the pillow and stared at the wall opposite him. He realized that the ice pack Gerard had given him during the night was still freezing cold so he figured Gerard must have switched it while Frank was asleep. The chilled pillow numbed Frank's head and he kept it on the center of the ice pack as he stared into space.
Frank laid like that for probably twenty minutes before Gerard came in. He walked to Frank and when he realized Frank was awake, Gerard smiled and sat by him, brushing his hand across Frank's face. "Feeling better today?" He asked in a soft sweet voice. Gerard's hand rested on Frank's for a moment and then he rubbed Frank's head. "You don't feel as hot but that could be from the ice packs." Gerard said to himself.
"I feel a lot better thanks to you." Frank told Gerard with a smile. He sat up and put his arms around Gerard's neck then rested his head on Gerard's shoulder. "Why are you so good to me?" He asked with slight amusement. Gerard put his arms around Frank's neck and rested his forehead on Frank's so they were eye to eye.
"Because I'm perfect." He said with a smile and a laugh then he pulled away from Frank and took Frank's arms off him. "Now come on, get up. We have stuff to do." Frank fell back onto his bed and pulled his blanket over his head. "Come on Frankie, get up." Gerard said, amusement still weaved in his voice, knowing Frank was making a game of the situation.
"I don't wanna." Frank said like a bratty child as he held the blanket over himself.
"Now, now, Frankie." Gerard said like a warning parent but his voice was in no way harsh but instead full of amusement. Frank felt Gerard climb on top of him and sit down. Frank kneed Gerard, causing Gerard to fall off Frank and onto the bed. "That's it!" Gerard climbed back on top of Frank, laughing. Gerard began to poke Frank's sides until Frank burst with laughter while kicking and waving his arms frantically from underneath his blanket. "You going to get up now?" He asked Frank, dodging the flying limbs.
"Never!" Frank gasped out and re-buried himself underneath the sheets. Gerard stopped and got off Frank.
"Fine. I'll just go play with your guitar." He told Frank and when he heard the bedroom door shut, Frank quickly uncovered himself and hastily ran to the door, opening it and chasing Gerard.
"No! You suck at guitar!" Frank called after him. "You'll break it!" Frank ran after Gerard and once they reached the end of the hall, Frank jumped onto Gerard's back causing them both to fall to the ground. Right as the two hit the floor, the door clicked open and revealed Ray standing on the porch. Instantly, Gerard and Frank began laughing and Ray tilted his head backwards, sighing heavily.
"I don't want to know." He told them as they continued laughing. Ray walked in and shut the door behind him then put Frank's keys on a small table. He stepped over Frank and Gerard to go to the kitchen. Frank, still laughing, stood up and brushed himself off as Gerard quickly followed. The followed Ray into the kitchen and found him working on making coffee. When the Way coffee obsession grew, everyone learned how to make it for safety precautions. "So what are today's plans?" Ray asked as Frank and Gerard sat at the table. Frank still had a headache but it was nothing he couldn't get through the day with.
"Nothing major." Gerard said as he anxiously awaited the coffee to be done.
"Staying home sounds good." Frank said after Gerard. Gerard laughed slightly which made Frank start laughing causing Gerard to laugh harder until both were bright red with laughter.
"What is so funny?" Ray asked with confusion.
"I, have, no, idea!" Frank said between gasps for breath. Ray sighed and went back to making the coffee as both Frank's and Gerard's heads hit the table. Once they calmed down yet again, the coffee was ready and Gerard guzzled half the pot instantly.
"What should I tell the others then?" Ray asked when they finished the coffee.
"Tell Bob we're taking it easy today and he can come chill here if he wants." Gerard told him, making sure every ounce of coffee was out of both his cup and the pot. He completely ignored the fact that Ray meant Mikey as well. Frank had heard from Ray that the two had an argument after Mikey punched Frank, but he didn't think it was bad enough for Gerard not to even acknowledge Mikey's existence. They had always been so close.
"What do you want me to tell Mikey?" Ray asked Gerard semi annoyed.
"Nothing." Gerard said calmly.
"Don't you think he has a right to-" Ray started when Gerard cut him off.
"No, I don't think he has the right." Gerard had suddenly become really pissed off. He apparently was really upset with his brother. "He can't respect Frank nor our relationship." Gerard yelled. Frank was still upset with Mikey for flipping out on him, but he didn't think it was right for Mikey to be left out.
"Yeah but he's your broth-" Frank tried to tell Gerard calmly when Gerard almost took his head off. Gerard's mood had greatly changed from what it was about a half hour ago.
"I have no brother." Neither Frank nor Ray ever expected to hear that sentence come from either of the Way brother's mouths. Frank could see the pain in Gerard's eyes when he said that. "I'm going for a walk." Gerard mumbled as he stood up.
"Like hell you are!" Frank said harshly to him. "You still haven't fully recovered from your last walk!" Frank was frustrated that Gerard couldn't understand he was still weak, even if he didn't feel it, and Frank started yelling too.
"Frank, calm down." Ray said to him but Frank didn't hear because he was still yelling at Gerard.
"If you catch the littlest of colds, you could die!"
"So I'm supposed to live the rest of my life in a fucking bubble or house?" Gerard yelled back at him.
"That's not what I mean and you know it!" Frank wanted to smack sense into Gerard since he wasn't getting it any other way. He took deep, slow breaths to calm donw. "Look," he started more calmly, "I don't want to see you end up back in the hospital." Frank took Gerard's hand into his. "You have to take it easy for a few days. Then you can go back to taking over the world." Frank told him trying to smile but Gerard just pulled away from Frank.
"Hey, aren't you supposed to be taking something?" Ray suddenly asked. Frank had forgotten all about the prescription that was given to Gerard back in New York.
"I'm not taking any drugs." He told Ray sternly. "And you don't control my life." Gerard told Frank to his face. It was quite a different statement than he was told the previous night. Frank felt like a knife went through his chest and into his heart. "So I'm going for a walk." It was like Gerard was a defiant teenager as he headed for the door.
"Fine!" Frank shouted after him. "Get something and die! See if I care!" Frank began to cry slightly as he sat back down, his head screaming with pain again. Gerard slammed the door shut and Ray took in a deep breath.
"It's ok Frankie." Ray told him. "He has an hour to make contact before I go set out to find him." Ray rubbed Frank's back gently. "He's just upset. I spoke to Alicia this morning and Mikey didn't have an easy night either." Frank began to tune Ray out as he thought about Gerard. All he could think about was Gerard getting really sick from something simple and it would cause him to die. Frank couldn't lose Gerard. He was all Frank had left.
"I'm going to lay down." Frank told Ray as he stood up and headed for his room. "Help yourself to whatever you find. Just please don't wake me if I fall asleep." He said to Ray before he started to disappear but turned back to Ray, "For anything," he said holding back tears, "or anyone." Frank went into his bedroom and closed the door tightly behind him. He climbed onto his messy bed and laid across the middle of it.
He loved Gerard with all his heart, but Frank was starting to wonder if they would ever be able to stay together. Gerard just couldn't take proper care of himself and he would argue with anyone who tried to help. It was wearing Frank out and he was getting frustrated of always ending up at a dead end. He grabbed his pillow and rested his pounding head on it then shut his eyes. Frank didn't know if he cried because of Gerard or if he cried from the pain in his head, but either way he ended up crying himself to sleep.

The North Carolina State University Faculty Club was founded in 1958 by members of the faculty who were interested in establishing a social organization specifically for faculty members. After obtaining a grant, the club was able to construct their own building (finished in 1963, and then known as the Faculty Club Facility), which is located on West Campus. The club hosted and promoted many social activities for faculty members and their families over the years, and in 1998 expanded their membership requirements to allow broader participation in the club by allowing staff members and alumni to also join. The name of the club was changed to the University Club, and their building was renamed the University Club Facility. Members of the club pay an initial fee to join the club, and then also contribute monthly dues. The University Club continues to be active as of 2008.
The records of the North Carolina State University Faculty Club contain meeting minutes, financial information, brochures and advertisements, information on the founding of the club and the construction of their building, and general information about the activities of the club. Material range in date from 1927 to 1992, though the bulk of the materials date from 1958 to 1984.
Materials are arranged alphabetically by topic and chronologically therein.

I was on my way home and I saw this guy grazing in a field.
I was on my way home and I saw this guy grazing in a field.
I had to go babysit my friend's little boy and when I went over to her house I noticed these gorgeous deep red roses planted by the front door.
I came home to find my very first wildflower growing in my backyard this year!
I went out to take some pictures of the bluebonnets by my house and I spied this little guy on the way home.
I stopped at the Clear Creek Park on the way home and photographed some wildflowers (of course…I have to get as many in before they go away!). This exotic-looking beauty was my favorite!
I was out and about near my house and I spied these cool looking wildflowers sprouting seeds.
I read the Hunger Games series over Spring Break while I was camping at Big Bend and loved it of course! When I got home, I called my sister to tell her that my 12 year old niece Alexis had to read them and she told me that Alexis was already on book #2! I was so excited! So Alexis and I chatted on the phone about the book and she asked me the most important question you could possibly ask…"are you Team Peeta or Team Gale?" I said, "Of course, Team Peeta!" So I knew what I had to make her!
It was a beautiful blue sky day today so I went down the highway to Texas City to see if any more wildflowers were blooming where I found the Indian Paintbrushes last month. They didn't really have any flowers I haven't shot yet but I did see some butterflies!
Back in January I committed myself to doing a Project 365 for 2012, where I take a picture everyday. I had a pretty good little camera (a step below a DSLR) but I using auto all the time and had no idea how to use all the settings. Well, then my bloggy friend Amy over at It's Overflowing started doing a (free) photography course and I have learned a ton following along. Of course I am kind of a procrastinator so I never did her "homework" from each lesson. But I was doing pretty well not using the auto settings, until I got my new T3i and it is way more complex (and a little scary)…so I am stuck on auto again! I thought now would be a good time to go back and redo some lessons!
I went home early from work because I didn't feel well so I was stuck with a picture from the house again. Since Spring is here now there have been more bugs out so that means more bugs trapped in the pool.
