lower case morning air
the air outside, at 10:42 in the morning, is a lower case kind of morning air. its the kind of morning air that makes capital letters seem all wrong. its the kind of morning air that simply begs for the right music to bring out all the world’s detail. outside it’s crisp, clean, and a little achy. its the kind of morning air thats back on its heels, halfway to reeling, but with an...

WatchAt issue here is the scope and function of not just Jack, the family’s beloved dickhead of a dog, but also of Jack’s dialed down nether regions. Nine out of 10 sexual exhibitionists agree that Molly’s statement crossed the line. But no worries: we hate sexual exhibitionists.
