Against my better judgement I will be attending a karaoke party on New Years. I once heard someone say that everyone should memorize a poem and be able to sing one song well. At the time I dismissed that as old people’s bullshit, but now I think that it might be true. I’m trying to think of a song I can “sing” with a lot of talking not singing in it. I have many talents,...
I really love the British words for things:
Which sounds better?
jumper or sweatshirt?
tins or canned food?
torches or flashlights?
globes or light bulbs?
Thought so.
A few things I’ve been thinking about as of late.
Yesterday I made $5 in the AM and spent $178 in the PM. This is a problem, but I gotta buy groceries and shit so I don’t know what to do about it. Work harder, I guess. Rise to it.
While I was at the store I saw a new kind of Charmin toilet paper. The slogan on the package said, “now, lasts longer”. I only need it to last...
The love of my life is in the other room listening to Left, Right, and Center while I’m here watching TMZ videos of the Jersey Shore douches. What he sees in me, I’ll never know….
Today we went up to see snow. In L.A. you can get to snow if you drive to the mountains that divide L.A. with the rest of the desert (Barstow, Death Valley and points east) and it only took us about 25 minutes to get there.

Have you ever noticed that in order to depict celebrities having a good time, their mouths are often really wide open? It’s such an unnatural pose, it makes me wonder if they practice it at home in a mirror. Then, when getting of off a transcontinental flight, when they are exhausted, they do some quick jaw exercises while the plane taxis to the gate so that they can be all limbered up to...
Just duck taped garbage bags over the leak in my car so that I don’t have a smelly lake waiting for me in the AM. I’m all class.
Not only do I not thrive in a fast-paced, deadline-driven environment; I am not a multitasking machine; leveraging my verbal and written communications skill set in new ways. I’m not resourceful. I’m not looking for a new challenge to make a difference at a small, but growing privately held company. I’m just fucking not, okay?
A conversation:
Me: Where do you want to go for our walk?
Him: Panty lane! (makes loud running, thumping noises with his feet)
Me: If you made that much noise on panty lane, I can’t imagine you’d be asked back.
