Anne Sexton's poem "For My Lover, Returning to His Wife," ends with the line: "As for me, I am watercolor. I wash off." She's just addressed the letting go of love and the acceptance that she's been but a passing fancy, a mirage in a passionless period of life, "littleneck clams out of season," "a bright red stoop in the harbor." So she "gives him back his heart," giving him permission to return to that which makes him whole, not that which simply excites him. It's a saddening poem, but when it comes to love, sex, relationships, or simply trying to connect with other human beings, it's all very tricky territory.

The weekend is finally almost here. Arrested Development is returning to the small screens, with the entire season to be released at once, a setup that begs for Monday-off binge watching and probably some server crashes. Seeing as many of you won’t have to work the next day, it’s the perfect excuse to have a party. A little grilling, some beer and some watching the most hyped non-sports-related television event in years. Here are some suggestions for your perfect Bluth family shindig.

If you spend a ridiculous amount of time scouring style blogs like I do (hey, it's for research), you'll soon realize that there are a few items that are apparently necessary if you want to construct the ideal "Look of the Day" photo. From Celine's scene-everywhere luggage tote bag to those crazy-popular Chanel espadrilles, you know the ones. While some of us have been noting these unspoken uniform essentials mentally, a kind, anonymous soul has decided to document these styles in a new Tumblr blog called Shit Bloggers Wear. Without naming names, the site perfectly captures the obvious via very well-done illustrations. Since its inception earlier this month, the project has put 14 designer pieces on blast, including Balenciaga's bondage-y Derby buckle boots, Proenza Schouler's PS11 bag and Brian Lichtenberg's "Homies South Central" sweater, which you can see after the jump. It'll be fun to see how this bodes with bloggers and if it puts an end to any trends.

Everybody involved in media is slowly learning that, in order to survive, you need to get into some other business lines, because just writing snarky blog posts or making silly cat videos isn't enough. Even the seemingly-successful Funny or Die is pulling in some beer money as a custom ad shop, producing videos for various corporate clients. In the past they've been semi-funny at best, probably because of the teams of management stiffs and their sycophantic consultants who get jittery at anything that might offend. But a new video the FOD people produced for Norelco is actually funny, and quite a bit edgier than anything I'd expect from a multi-zillion dollar conglomerate. It stars Adam DeVine of Workaholics, which I love, and follows the "Special Units Unit" as it cruises around, COPS-style, looking for dudes that, well, don't trim their junk well enough. How did they get away with this? I'd say the Norelco marketing team grew some well-groomed balls. Good for them. 

This spring has been rife with fantastic films, and with summer on our heels it looks as though we're in store for some truly great cinematic moments—from both directors we worship and those who are at the precipice of their careers.  And when it comes to the latter, David Lowery is one of the most refreshing and wonderful new voices in filmmaking to appear on our radar in recent memory. After editing the stunningly brilliant Upstream Color with Shane Carruth,  Lowery blew everyone away at Sundance with his crime drama / tragic Texas romance Ain't Them Bodies Saints which will roll into theaters come August. The lens-flared and sun burnt film is as aesthetically alluring and well-crafted as it's moving performances from Casey Affleck, Rooney Mara, and Ben Foster who take on the story of:

Memorial Day is all about burgers. Burgers of every kind – juicy, veggie, dripping, spicy, charred. Burgers know no limits. And in honor of the national holiday that is National Burger Month, I'm devoting this extra-special Burger Friday to Memorial Day. In fact, I've created a three-day Memorial Weekend burger itinerary for you, simply to ensure that you devour only the best burgers all weekend long, every day. Dig in:

“I think it’s decent,” says Foals bassist Walter Gervers as he ushers me on board the band’s tour bus. He doesn’t have anything to worry about cleanliness-wise, though I didn’t expect to be greeted by a pair of preserved alligator skulls and a couple of matching claws that the English art-rockers picked up on a recent jaunt through New Orleans. The souvenirs are just one reminder that they’re far from their home in Oxford.

Somber news for visitors to New York who hate the hotel experience: Airbnb, a service by which a tenant not using their apartment for a few days can rent it out to another party, has run afoul of the “illegal hotel” law. That’s the one that forbids you to run a rogue bed-and-breakfast out of your closet, or, I guess, in any way profit from the space you are renting for residential purposes.
