The Week of August 1–5

– The weekend is here! We had no Dude this week, so the world fell into chaos, as A Lady acknowledged. Meanwhile, A Clean Person made contact with the greatest question-asker yet featured on this site (Q1).

– The Qookbook grows, as does Lauren O’Neal’s Guide to Making Everything.

– “Just drove by a park, reminded me of the time we went to that one by your house together. Good times.”

Moving is also good times, as is repairing attractive old couches.

– Major-city-dwellers: Mark your calendars for August meetups in NYC, LA, Boston, Chicago, Seattle, and Philly. (Email us if you’d like to host your own — they’re reader-organized and very low-key!)

Are you the female lead in a Korean drama?

– Enjoy your weekend, be careful with your Desert Eagle, put your Elizabeth Taylor face on, and have a vodka-chardonnay.
