I am reading The Royal We by the Fug Girls. It is so fun that I hate when lunch time is over and I have to stop.

Fortunately you don't need to imagine, they were tweeting furiously. And then John Mulaney was retweeting them. It was a good time.

So handsome, just like his reward poster.

Upvoted for truth telling and roof stoof.

If he brings up the fact that someone got angry at him recently and he doesn't know why, could you mention it then? That's what I'd probably do. Like, "it doesn't really bother me, but…" My dad is pretty similar and frequently lectures the room, and all of us either talk over him (we're fun at parties) or get really…

I am so sorry. I lost mine nearly four years ago and haven't been entirely the same since. Grief is a funny, shitty thing.

So what you're saying is that 2016 is the real Year of Penny?

That sucks, my sympathies. Here in St. Louis we are flooding too. And this one is brought on by a three day deluge, so it's much faster than the oft spoken of 1993 floods. Weather can be scary.

I set my goodreads goal at a book a week and I am on 44. So I am eight shy, but better than last year when I was 12 short. One of these years I will hit it. I am still pretty happy with that though, as it's pretty steady for the year. My mental health pretty closely follows my reading (the less I read, the worse I am…

That exact thing happened to me yesterday. The lady behind me was honking at me because I wouldn't pull out into the center lane while a crap ton of traffic was coming the other way. What is the point? We're waiting safely here in our side street. We are waiting either way! She and I had closed window words at the…

David Simon's book that preceded Homicide (also called Homicide) is pretty good as well and might be a good gift supplement sometime. A new edition was released probably close to 10 years ago. I had a copy I lent my dad when he had knee surgery and he loved it. He also watched dvds of The Wire during his recuperation.…

You Were Cool has never failed to at least make me tear up. So good.

When I was 6 or 7 I got this stuffed lavender cat that I desperately wanted from the card shop my gran worked at. I was on the fence about Santa being real, so the mall Santa was the only one I told about wanting this cat, but my gran, being not dumb, saw how much I wanted it when I'd go to work with her and got it…

I've noticed a lot of people lately swerving out of their lane if the person in front of them is turning. With no regard for if there is someone beside them or not. Are you in such a hurry that you can't slow down for the seconds that it takes a person to turn? Is it really more efficient for you to venture into my…

I made turtle brownies and artichoke dip for a party I have tonight. I don't trust some of the folks I am attending with to have good kitchen practices so I figured going in with a sweet and savory dish ensured I'd have something to eat.

I give The Gift of Fear to so many people as graduation gifts. I am the gifter of fear. It's so good though. Has it been updated at all for current technology?

TruTV these days is mostly episodes of Impractical Jokers and that magician guy. I was really into Investigation Discovery for a while, but either it has become way more macabre or I have gotten way more squeamish (it can be two things), and I can't really watch anymore.

My dog ate a plastic fork this New Year's Eve. I came home to the bin of takeout silverware scattered across the kitchen. I was able to reassemble all the sets but was missing a fork. Then I found two tines and knew he'd eaten the rest. Fortunately the emergency vet wanted to see me even less than I wanted to spend…

I have almost begged our HR department for training, but seeing that we don't even have a plan if there's a fire (and we are literally attached to the Fire Department), I don't see that happening any time soon. So I just have my own plan in my head. It does suck that we have to have it at all though.

Upvoted for mention of the NYE Arrested Development marathon which was my intro to the show. I was in a huge fight with all my in town friends that year and that marathon really taught me to lean unhealthily on television, a trick I still use today.
