The pig is coming pre-butchered and frozen, which is the only way I could handle it.
And here I was, picturing you with a sharpie, drawing on a live pig with the butcher waiting behind you....
Funny thing about black and white. You mix it together and you get gray. And it doesn't matter how much white you try and put back in, you're never gonna get anything but gray.

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

I don't really have a political opinion about fertility woman, but the thought of having eight babies at once is making me clench private things.

I'm happy to judge people. As my sister once said living in Florida, "I stand by anyone's right to wear a thong on the beach, but don't think I won't judge you on it if you walk into my office the next day for an interview."
For those asking about e-filing, I did free e-file a week ago and my refund is already sitting in my bank account. I'm never mailing again if I can help it.
ION, vicodin is quite amazing.

Other topic: this NYT article [link] is getting a lot of play on Jezebel and Gawker and stuff. But an NPR blogger wonders if it's fake? [link] I dunno, I feel like I;ve observed some girls when I worked at the Looniversity who were genuinely that shallow and crazy. NYistas, ring true?

The feeling you get when your brain finally lets your heart get in its pants.
FTR, I still want to ride on Airforce One.
I also want to not be buried in work and to be able to take more than 10 minutes for lunch though, so I'm pretty sure my I WANT fairy is slacking, big time.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.
I liked this paragraph the best:
Another, though, seemed chagrined, after her boyfriend told her to “grow up” and stop “complaining about vacations and dinner” since he had to “fire 20 people by the end of the week.”
I noticed that when I highlighted that text on the NYT site, it gave me a link to clock on to search NYT.com for that text. That web page knew too much about what I was doing.

That's why we have Elle Fanning.
