Almost stunningly so, but not as dapperly handsome as Neil Patrick Harris.

Fuck my stubborn-ass stepfather. Three weeks ago he got something on his foot, and refused to go to the ER despite my mother's pleading. When he finally went to the doctor last week, it had turned into a huge abscess and the doctor sent him to the ER immediately. He's been in the hospital since, having had two…

My Thanksgiving, food-wise, was amazing. I spatchcocked and dry-brined a turkey, made sausage for stuffing, and made a Jamaican dish of rice and peas, which is the only thing my mother misses about her former mother-in-law.
J. Kenji Lopez-Alt might be my new Alton Brown.

I got back into playing The Sims 3 and am as completely obsessed with it as I was all these years ago. I have the first three expansion packs installed and am debating getting more. I don't know what it is about that game that just has me jonesing to play it for hours on end.

I picked up Jessica Abel's Trish Trash: Rollergirl Of Mars but I didn't read it yet because I found out it's part of a trilogy and am waiting for part 3 to come out.

I was at Miami Book Fair two weekends ago, and got to meet Dave Barry (who signed my book "For [CTD's real name], my idol"), the Property Brothers, Gene Luen Yang, and Jessica Abel, and I got to hear Bernie Sanders speak about the aftermath of the election.

I too have been slacking. My back doctor told me I could go back to the gym (and to please lose some weight) but that I shouldn't lift things, which is pretty much the only thing I actually enjoy doing at the gym.

Even though I lived in AZ for five years and know what you're talking about, it's weird to hear "Arizona" and "skiing" in the same sentence. Or, for that matter, "I'm going to Arizona" and "hooray".

I started getting back into The Sims 3, with the first three expansion packs installed. My sim me (of course I made a sim me) is already a very minor celebrity. I want to go home and play it now instead of being at work and then going to class tonight.

I'm reading Sarah Glidden's Rolling Blackouts, which is OK so far, but not nearly as interesting as her How To Understand Israel In 60 Days Or Less. I'm reading it at night before bed, and I can usually only read a couple of pages; whether that's because I'm not finding the comic interesting enough, or whether I'm…

I'm still on "fuck this election" mode. Fuck my 'friend' who is all "Hillary is the actual devil because she's pro-choice". Fuck the racists that Trump is adding to his cabinet. And an extra fuck to Rudy Giuliani, whose election I remember reliving after this last one.
Also, fuck that my phone's SD card is crashing…

Now I'm curious. Was she (or her agent) like "11 questions and I'm done. That's my limit."?

Did he bring his collection of verbs with him?

I think (especially after reading So You've Been Publicly Shamed) that we've cried wolf with the public shaming too many times, and it doesn't take anymore.

Your ideas are intriguing to me, and I wish to subscribe to your newsletter.

Library's fuckin' empty today, Whovian — at least mine is. It's rainy and I guess people are sleeping it off.
