brillig

it shows that I was punchy and tired

I remember a show I saw a while ago about recording the cast album of a Broadway musical. One of the stars was bound and determined not to force everyone to stay an extra day because she couldn't get the piece right in the recording studio, so she stayed late, pushing herself, and it showed. The producer finally talked her into calling it a night. The next day she and the orchestra were well rested, and she ripped off a superb version in one take.

Most everything is better with rest.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

I called him a poo head and now we're not speaking.

When did I become nine?

“Not dead yet!”

When did I become nine?

When somebody took a jab at your baby.

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.

Would it help to do exactly that today and get back to three tomorrow?

Because books.

Just start writing the next chapter, Allyson. Nothing (or at the very least, very little) comes out perfect the first time. Give it a couple of days to rest, and then go back and look at it with a fresh eye.
