About Brevet Captain

Untitled
I am a reader and writer who appreciates the comedy and decency of dogs, the subtleties of whiskey, and the pure beauty of a pulling guard in the open field.

Writers whose works I love: Neal Stephenson, Thomas Pynchon, Neil Gaiman, Margaret Atwood, Herman Melville, Ishmael Reed, Leo Tolstoy, Franz Kafka, Feodor Dostoevsky, Anton Chekhov, Emily Dickinson, Walt Whitman, and James Joyce.

greengrey: golden-notebook: No, Pinterest. That is a terrible idea. That’s the lamest shit ever. Staaaaahhp. You know that someone who does this would be the most obnoxious mother EVER. “Hi mom, just calling to let you know I was made partner…” “BUT YOU’RE STILL NOT MARRIED ARE YOU!? I TOOK A PICTURE OF YOU WHEN YOU WERE A LITTLE GIRL IN A WEDDING DRESS *SOB* AND THANKS TO YOU I’LL NEVER BE ABLE TO DISPLAY IT! I SACRIFICED SO MUCH…” “But mom…partner. Y’know, at a law firm.” “I DIDN’T TAKE A PICTURE OF YOU IN A PANTSUIT NOW DID I. ARE YOU A LESBIAN!?” We’re going to have some really fucked up people walking around in 20+ years if some internet parents are anything to go by. Imma take a picture of my son in just a bowtie to give his friends on his 13th birthday. Because boys should have fun too.

    Thank you for reminding me to cancel the Pinterest account I used in a class last semester. Buh-bye.

    What kind of fuckery is this? No. Just no. And if the boss tries this shit, I’m using it to get custody.

    This screams re-living your disappointing and unfulfilled life through your child.
