Ben: I didn't ask for any of this. I just want to be normal. Gronx: I wanted to be an underwear model. We play the hand we're dealt.

Why did Darth Vader cross the road? To get to the Dark Side!

So strap on your helmets and body armor and remember to up-armor your SUVs or hybrids. Evidently war rages through the San Fernando Valley.

May God have mercy on your souls.

Oh dear, it seems the movement for secession has gotten a bit desparate.

Oh, man. Olbermann will have no mercy on Mr. Vick. Not that he's had much before. Cause like his avatar, Casey, he hates it when sports guys end up on the police beat. (/ Countdown and "Sports Night" like sporty carrots)

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

So strap on your helmets and body armor and remember to up-armor your SUVs or hybrids. Evidently war rages through the San Fernando Valley.

Ha! We apparently have war in my neighborhood as well!

Always Anti-fascist!

Us too. My first thought: "Fuckin' Arpaio." But it wasn't. Yet.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

Oh, dear.

Good Trouble and Righteous Fights

People, if you're going to use French, use it right.

Lately I've seen people write "Voila" as "Wallah." People on writing lists. It makes me sad.

I like horses' ovaries, though. Who knows, the multi-ethnic ethnic market around the corner from our house might carry them. They have pigs' uteri, after all...

I know my own heart and understand my fellow man. But I am made unlike anyone I have ever met. I dare to say I am like no one in the whole world. - Anne Lister

My loyalties are torn: I live in Sherman Oaks but work in Santa Monica.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

Oh, OK. That's the one where the mother turns into the wind or something? Possibly I have detachment issues.

No, that is Runaway Bunny-- possibly stalkery if read to, say, a teenager, but lots of little little kids go through a pushme-pullyou stage where they desperately want to be independent and will threaten to run away (or even do so, for about a block) and then fall apart if nobody comes after them immediately. They want the delicious contradictory pleasures of being all on their own and safely looked after and yearned for. For those kids, it's an unutterably perfect book.

Plus, the illustrations are just gorgeous.

That other book, I read once and got rather squicked by, and I've never touched it again.

Greece's financial crisis threatens to take down all of Western civilization - a civilization they themselves founded. A rather tragic irony - which is something they also invented. - Jon Stewart

I want a spaceship full of fireplaces

Yes, you're perfectly normal.
