I’ve had the decorations up since Thanksgiving, but mostly because I haven’t been working (curses) and had no excuse not to. So it’s been Christmasy but since I’ve been sitting here like a bum with no concept of time it also feels like the tree has been up for 1000 years. also we are so broke this pay period that we…

I can’t think of one person I know who knew someone growing up who is a cop now, and says “they were such a great guy in school.” Yours is at least the third example in this thread of someone who personally knew a high school asshole who turned into a (probably dangerous) police person.

That’s what I noticed too! That face with the little smile.

This is the best Steve Harvey story ever ever ever. I have friends who worship him (and Tyler Perry) and I can’t wait to tell them this the next time he comes up. And I’m glad you’re OK!!

It is. Someone probably already said this but it is in the New Yorker’s “Shouts and Murmers” column, which is their humor page in the print edition.

Someone told me the other day, never live where it gets colder than your age. As young as you are, I think that still applies where you are, like I feel like it gets down to negative your age. Time to move! :) It hardly ever gets colder than my age where I live (south TX) but the humidity makes it bone-achingly…

How funny, I had wondered if Agent Cooper was supposed at least remind us of Jeffrey Beaumont! He’s so awesome. I saw Dune in the theaters because my best friend at the time was obsessed with Sting (remember him in that movie!?) and Kyle Maclaclan was the only thing that got me through that.

That is so sweet! Doing nice things for other people calms me down too. You are a good mom. :)

I have dreams about eating meat too, I haven’t eaten meat in about 10 years. I’ll be chewing it and be like “oh no!” and then I usually wake up. I do miss it. I quit drinking earlier this year and I have dreams about that too, that I’ll be holding a drink and wondering if I should or not. Or I’ll know there’s a beer…

Ha and then you wake up and you’re like YOU SON OF A BITCH and they’re all, what the hell did I do?

The spooky lighting in Eraserhead blew me away, seriously. Not to mention the rest of it. AND OF COURSE you love that movie, Radiator Lady! I mostly love David Lynch but I have to admit, Mulholland Drive and Lost Highway both bored me rage-y.

OMG you just reminded me that a new person in one of my yoga classes said out loud this morning, “I love having an affirmation!” as we were getting up from our mats at the end. Good for him but it was a strange thing to hear.

I was once stopped from getting into an argument with someone at a party over their vociferous defense of Successories, the late 90s version of inspirational quotes. She was all “I’ve *seen* them work!” (?) and my brother was hissing “just don’t say anything, it’s not worth it” in my ear.

Same w the Keurig stuff. I’m drinking the first of many delicious drip pots this a.m. Also everyone I know said “Keurig” differently for so long that I developed an ear block to hearing it said out loud.

They were taken off the market because they eat babies

As a cleaning lady, I appreciate this anti-bottle sentiment. The only time I’ve ever thrown up at my job was having to clean baby bottles with curdly milk solids, some that had been left sitting around for I don’t know how long.

I’m glad to know who watches those! And I love it because he seems so rad.

I love her too! I’ve missed her. Even if her best stuff isn’t her radio stuff, i like her not-best radio stuff better than the pop ladies I hear on the radio lately.

My mom and her BF (of 25 years) go to Disney World every few years. They aren’t creepy but I don’t have the energy to explain why. I go with them sometimes and we spend almost all the time drinking and eating and shooting the shit. Shopping at Epcot. To me it’s a lazy idea for a vacation but some years it’s the only…

All I want for Christmas, which I won’t get, is the money to turn our second bedroom (current cat bedroom/vinyl LP storage yeah man) into a real bedroom with a little bed and a TV for me. I just want one night every now and then without worrying about being, or being, kneed, headbutted, kicked, elbowed, hairpulled,…
