You really won't regret the price of several sangrias, let's be real. Both my mouth and my skirt thank you for that :)

Liberty Hotel that used to be the Charles Street Jail

A few hours later, Kelly and JD were climbing out of a cab and gawking at the odd building that was the Liberty Hotel. It was made of brick, and laid out in the cross shape of an old prison, which Kelly knew it had once been. A huge decorative window graced the front entrance, and a smiling doorman greeted them as he held the door for them. Kelly craned his neck to take in the impressive lobby. ~Cross&Crown (location 1991) Abigail Roux

This is Phineas Gage, a railroad worker who survived an accident in which a large metal rod (pictured) passed completely through his skull. The damage that occurred to his frontal lobe completely changed his personality.

But not his perfect face, thank god.

I have no good explanation for what he’s doing.

Psychotherapist and author Adam Phillips on Pleasure & Frustration:

“One of the obstacles is the demand that we be happy and enjoy your lives. I think it’s a huge distraction and it’s very undermining, I think. In the old days, whenever that was, there was an internal injunction to be good. Now the injunction is to be happy or to be enjoying yourself. And the reason this is a distraction is because life is also painful…in other words—and it’s a very simple thing and it’s very obvious and this starts in childhood—which is that if somebody can satisfy you, they can also frustrate you. This is ineluctable. It’s structural. It’s never going to change. This means that everybody has to deal with ambivalence—they’re going to have to deal with the fact that they love and hate the person they love and hate.

What we’re continuously being sold are possibilities for pleasure, in one way or another, as though all we want to do is get rid of the pain and increase the pleasure. I think this is a very impoverished view of what a life is, even though every life must involve trying to do something with the pain and having the pleasure. But there’s a difference between evacuating pain and frustration, and modifying it. And what we’re starved of now is frustration.

It’s as though we’re phobic of frustration, so the moment there is a feeling of frustration, it’s got to be filled with something. It’s a bit like the mother who overfeeds her child. She does that to stop the child from having appetite, because the appetite is so frightening. Now it seems to me there’s an attempt to foreclose appetite, to foreclose people’s capacity to think about what is really missing in their lives, what they might want and what they might do about getting it. Fantasies of satisfaction are saboteurs of pleasure.”

The Bone Orchard

After leaving a trail of terror and death in his wake, the notorious “Missouri” Boone Jennings finally meets his match in San Francisco when US marshal Ambrose Shaw catches up to him. The story of his capture, and the marshal’s bravery, has already become legend back east by the time Pinkerton inspector Ezra Johns gets off the train from New York City to testify in the murderer’s trial.

When Ambrose is unable to give witness to the evils he’s seen, Ezra becomes their lone hope for putting Jennings in a noose. But if Ezra thinks that’s his biggest problem, he’s got plenty to learn about life—and the afterlife—in the spirited West.

Fortunately, Ambrose is there to assist, and more than happy to oblige Ezra—in the courtroom or the bedroom. He spent his life bringing justice to the Wild West, and if he has a say in it, that’s how he’ll be spending his death too.

Most people who follow me, even casually, know that I had spinal surgery in late March. There were complications that weren’t anticipated, including what became a pretty dangerous infection and almost choking half a dozen times during the recovery. It’s sad when your antibiotic almost kills you.

On top of the physical issues that came during recovery, I also reacted badly to the medication. Very badly. So so badly. There are 2-3 weeks there that I will never fully remember, and there were several stretches where, frankly, my family and closest friends were worried that I might never be the same. It was almost as if I’d suffered a stroke. I still don’t know exactly what happened or why my reaction to this particular surgery was so severe, and I doubt I’ll ever get an answer. And it took me a long time to realize that I almost didn’t make it through this, physically
