Okay, I absolutely LOVE this tie. I got it about a month ago at Kohl's for 10$ off the clearance rack. It even came with a tie clip. I. LOVE. THIS. TIE. And I've had no reason to wear a tie since buying it because I am unemployed and have nothing fancy on the agenda. Today, though, I decided to do a bunch of waist up self portraits just so I could wear this tie. Then, the electricity half-went-out. What, you may ask, does that mean?

The dryer worked, but the washer (mid-load, mind you) did not. The toaster, oven, coffee maker, microwave, and lights were out in the kitchen, but the fridge stayed on. The lights in the dining room were out, but one of four outlets worked. Everything upstairs was out except for one outlet in the bathroom. The half-bath worked fine, but the laundry room lights were out. Every outlet in the living room worked fine, but the lights connected to the switch wouldn't turn on. NO...CENTRAL...AIR...CONDITIONING

So, I could watch TV, but I couldn't cook or finish my laundry... And the internet still worked... thank God.

To make a long story about a shitty day short, I didn't break anything or overload the breakers. The connections outside out house were shitty, so LIPA (Long Island Power Authority) had to come fix them. I was without AC for about 5 hours. I didn't realize how spoiled I am until today. I love (LOVE LOVE LOVE) my central AC. So...Much...SO MUCH!

When I hear science, technology and society I think development and worthwhile progress. My picture depicts just that as it clearly shows that in this modern day and age where stoves an electrical tops take prevalence we still know how to do without. My picture is part of modern history a simple a€?fire grilla€ set up. Its well known that from this a€?stovea€ you get a different flavor to the food prepared over it (smoked style), but thata€™s the beauty. There may not be a knob to lower the intensity of the heat but either reducing the content of burning material or simply dousing it a bit works just as well. I believe that this is one of the most intricate parts of our scientific past, present and future which has the world of technology where cooking is concerned revolutionized. Whether it is an electrical or gas stove/oven, this piece of practical equipment will never die. It has given birth to the toaster, modern barbeque grill, even microwave oven, along with other methods of cookery. I call it Stove Of Yesterday and that it is also of today, tomorrow and so ona€¦ Society has greatly benefitted from the mastermind behind this equipment and without a doubt we cannot imagine living today without having what we know as a stove around.

Delightfully smart and heartbreakingly poignant, Allison Pearson’s smash debut novel has exploded onto bestseller lists as “The national anthem for working mothers.” Hedge-fund manager, wife, and mother of two, Kate Reddy manages to juggle nine currencies in five time zones and keep in step with the Teletubbies. But when she finds herself awake at 1:37 a.m. in a panic over the need to produce a homemade pie for her daughter’s school, she has to admit her life has become unrecognizable. With panache, wisdom, and uproarious wit, I Don’t Know How She Does It brilliantly dramatizes the dilemma of every working mom.


From the Trade Paperback edition.

Allison Pearson's debut novel, I Don't Know How She Does It, is a rare and beautiful hybrid: a devastatingly funny novel that's also a compelling fictional world. You want to climb inside this book and inhabit it. However, you might find it pretty messy once you're in there. Narrator Kate Reddy is the manager of a hedge fund and mother of two small children. The book opens with an emblematic scene as Kate "distresses" a store-bought mince pie to make it appear homemade. Her days are measured in increments of minutes and even seconds; her fund stays organized but her house and family are falling apart. The book is a pearly string of great lines. Here's Kate on lack of sleep: "They're right to call it a broken night.... You crawl back to bed and you lie there trying to do the jigsaw of sleep with half the pieces missing." On baby boys: "A mother of a one-year-old son is a movie star in a world without critics." On subtle office dynamics:
The women in the offices of EMF [Kate's firm] don't tend to display pictures of their kids. The higher they go up the ladder, the fewer the photographs. If a man has pictures of kids on his desk, it enhances his humanity; if a woman has them it decreases hers. Why? Because he's not supposed to be home with the children; she is.
There's inherent drama here: Kate is wildly appealing, and we want things to work out for her. In the end, the book isn't a just collection of clever lines on the theme of working motherhood; it's a real, rich novel about a character we come to cherish. --Claire Dederer
