Amanda Palmer + high school drama kids + Neutral Milk Hotel = Um, is that Shia LeBeouf in there as the humble emcee? (And how awesome is it that I spelled “LeBeouf” correctly on my first try?) My senior class play was Cheaper By the Dozen, I think, and I don’t remember a frigging thing about it. If I went to this high school, I would not forget this show for a long, long time.…
I don’t even know how to keep up anymore. And they say the ride just keeps spinning faster and faster the longer it goes. I had one of those moments tonight where I let some bit of the news get to me, stop me with a screech, hold my jaw tight in its hands until I paid attention and processed it and it made me feel sick. I read the pilots’ transcript from the Continental…
Sophie (Jack and Sally’s mom) had a litter back in March and they’ve been living in the basement at my parents’ house. My dad can only handle so many animals in the house at one time, and four kittens on top of two cats and three dogs is four kittens too many. (Maybe they will finally get Sophie spayed now. Although, if I were a betting man, I’d bet that he will be completely attached…
Mother’s Day this year entailed a giant box of fried chicken (fifty pieces!) and me sipping on sugary homemade margaritas and watching cable on a big-screen TV for nine hours.

The New Stranger by Sharon Olds (from Blood, Tin, Straw) They would peer in the carriage and ask was your father Chinese, your lustrous, curly-lidded, slightly tilted eyes, your elegant forehead. You were a stranger to me— I thought I would know you, but I had to get to know you— I know your bowl brow, and serious eyes, but sometimes you were alien to me as a foetus, the large-brained head, the brain forming…
Got my hair did. Like everything else in life, I like parts but I’m not crazy about the whole. I want to do surgery on it but I’ve been urged to leave it alone. I just want a great haircut for once. Not a this-is-okay-but-I-don’t-like-it-enough-to-do-anything-but-grow-it-right-back-out-the-way-it-was-before cut. Middle class woes, aren’t they fun? Saw the Star Trek movie today before work. It’s very bromantic and full of very attractive people and lens flares. Jesus, with the…
Donna at work grew these and then started bringing them in by the truckload. They are gorgeous. [Project 365]
