Boola Boola!
Category: Miscellany

You know what I've been getting a lot of lately? Money-grubbing e-mails from Yale. It fucking pisses me off -- I can't even afford to move out of my mother's house, and here the school that got $140K out of dear old dad for four years of torment and murder/rape accusations and a degree that apparently isn't worth the paper on which it's printed has the audacity to ask me for money so that other undegraduates can have "the same great experience" that I had. And then they have the nerve to write, "Boola Boola!" in the subject line! What the fuck does that mean? Seriously.

I should fucking skin Handsome Dan alive.

Get it?

Also, the page now defaults directly to the main page -- no splash. Ja.

"Nothing, nothing"
Category: Serious

There's a lump in the center of my chest. It throbs slightly and slides up and down; it creeps into the base of my throat and then eases itself out again, as if whatever controls its motion is trying to decide whether it wants to see me vomit my heart out or not. Yes, it could be funny, but does the joke justify the mess? And the audience may not see the humor of it.

My gut feels icky; cold and hollow, but not entirely, as if the walls of it are coated with that slime that fills the gel-packs one freezes and stuffs in lunch boxes to keep orange juice cool. Outside, a squirrel darts across the driveway. No, a rabbit. I've never seen a squirrel that moved so fast or with such purpose with such a linear course. No pauses, no deviations -- a straight jet, almost as if the thing had been skewered and yanked across the concrete on a metal rod. (more...)

Goodbyes!
Category: Miscellany

Extremely awkward day today -- spent a good chunk of it with people who in all likelihood will never see me again. What does one say in that kind of situation, especially when it may not be clear to the other person(s) that this will be the final get-together? In this case, at least, featuring me. The people I was with see each other all the time -- so much so that I didn't even feel like I was there today, which kind of made it even worse. (more...)

Network TV!
Category: Miscellany

So I'm watching "Blind Date", which I haven't seen in a while. Pretty interesting (and amusing) show, and I recommend that all of you losers out there in Blogland who keep failing in your dates watch often and study well! 😀 But seriously, it's wild. This episode has a flabby, uncouth UFC fighter named Wes (Wes!) on a chemistry-less with this ex-stripper lingerie model who looks like a certain author I know. And I watched "A Current Affair" tonight as well! I didn't even know that show was still on. Christian Slater sure leads an interesting life... and with religious group leaders having the ability to seduce their spiritual charges with a mere snap of their fingers, maybe some of y'all out there should become ordained ministers and start your own denominations! R-D-R-R!

Also, "Just Shoot Me" and "Suddenly Susan" are about the only sitcoms I can tolerate these days. I have no idea why that is (though I suspect that it has something to do with the gorgeous Brooke Shields in the latter case). Any guesses?

G'night and have a great weekend, minna-san!

P.S. You NYC people should really go on "Blind Date"! I would! And am I the only one who kinda wants to see The Sisterhood of the Traveling Pants? Should I have kept that to myself? I think perhaps I should have.
