I have an overactive imagination.
Me: Is it un-PC for me to go as an Asian Lolita for Halloween? I'm also considering Heather Graham a la Boogie Nights...
Jen: Asian Lolita? Where the h*ll do you come up with this sh*t?

– A Message on Ted Kennedy to Conservatives Who Hated Him (Mostly Profanity-Free for the Kiddies) (via ryking via soupsoup)
We will die, that much is certain; and everyone we have ever loved and cared about will die, too, sometimes—heartbreakingly—before us. Being someone else, traveling the world, making new friends gives us a temporary reprieve from this knowledge, which is spared most of the animal kingdom. Busyness—or the simulated busyness of email addiction—numbs the pain of this awareness, but it can never...
Making plans is often the occupation of an opulent and boastful mind, which thus obtains the reputation of a creative genius by demanding what it cannot itself supply, by censuring what it cannot improve, and by proposing what it knows not where to find. And yet something more should belong to a sound plan of a general critique of pure reason than mere conjectures, if this plan is to be other than...

Me: My camera died 2 weeks ago. I'm having a technology breakdown!! Too expensive to replace my laptop, iPod and camera at once...
E: Yikes. But the iPod camera isn't really good enough to replace a real camera, is it?
Me: No, not really but it would hold me over I think & I have a dslr for anything needing real high quality pics. What a mess!
E: I know pricey, but imagine coming home and opening all those boxes!! Exciitiiiing...
Me: Sigh. I like shoes better... Girl vs. Guy brains perfectly demostrated.
Really enjoyed James Cooper’s Under Water collection.
Hey, she’s the enemy. If she’s trying to use me to get insider info, I’ll tell her some “secrets.” I’ll tell her whatever I need to say if it gets her to sleep with me. And while she’s smart, she’s probably dumb enough to believe everything I say.

It’s bad form to quote an entire blog entry, but there isn’t a word of it I’d like to omit:
I plan to do a lot more shopping at Whole Foods in the coming weeks. Mostly in response to the moronic boycott of the store now gaining momentum on the left.
Let me see if I have the logic correct here: Whole Foods is consistently ranked among the most employee-friendly places to...

Nerdy confession of the night
I just got pretty darn excited to see that Soup just started following me.

Vice One: Be A Drinker
To be a drinker means, of course, to be social. Sure, it’s all right to drink by oneself on occasion. But because the highly creative live so often in the private world of ideas, they also need to mingle with their friends at a good party. That’s why F. Scott Fitzgerald threw his fantastic “Gatsbyesque” parties on Long Island, inviting such other besotted artists as Gloria...

Listen to the mustn’ts, child.
Listen to the don’ts.
Listen to the shouldn’ts, the impossibles, the won’ts.
Listen to the never haves, then listen close to me…
Anything can happen, child.
Anything can be.
-Shel Silverstein
The toll so far...

“Paul, I don’t remember what life was like before having you up my ass like a bad hemorrhoid every day. I hate to admit it and I definitely don’t feel this way about hemorrhoids, but you are starting to become entertaining, in a disturbing, quasi psychotic sort of way.”
