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

Tom Scola has ruined my morning! A world in which writing as horrible as that (sadly, I can see her typing out "diminutive and deferential, with a forehead of life-long suffering," reading it back aloud, and then patting herself on the back; Ohhhh, but I'm GOOD!) gets not only published but optioned is not a world in which I wish to live.

On the other hand, maybe crap like that will finally get me motivated to finish my own damn stuff. God knows I couldn't possibly write any worse than that, even if I tried.

Amy Sohn's Prospect Park West, got optioned by Sarah Jessica Parker's production company.

Of course it did. Bah. Fucking bah.

We're very stretchy. - Connie Neil

Salon has an interview with Orly Taitz, the lawyer/dentist/Head Birther which is really fascinating. The first paragraph:

I'm on Skype with Orly Taitz, and from Israel the queen bee of the Birthers is telling me that Barack Obama had all his gay lovers rubbed out, Chicago-style. Well, that's not fair. Taitz isn't explicitly accusing Obama of clipping his boyfriends to shut them up. She just wants to make sure I know that a few homosexuals from Obama's church, oddly, mysteriously, ominously, wound up dead. "Now, I don't want to say that Obama did it," explains Orly, in her dense Moldovan accent. "I don't want to say that people close to Obama did it. But those are the facts."

As an odd, mysterious, odd homosexual, I can say that this ISN'T RARE FOR FAGS IN CHICAGO.

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

I'm going to go out on a limb and say there were also straight people from Obama's church who ended up dead.

I mean, it's not like the straights don't die.

Well, there goes that idea.

Ann, that's a ferret.

Add one letter to her last name, and you get "Taintz." Subtract one letter, and you get "Titz." Now, I don't want to say that it means anything. But those are the facts.

But, above and beyond SH's point, I'm still trying to figure out how she gets from "gay men from Obama's church wind up dead" to "the dead men were Obama's boyfriends" to "he had the dead men killed."

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 think its neat how he had a fag killing church while also being a secret Muslim. You don't often see that kind of range.

I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

oh, the crazy, it burns.

I need to go get some make-up and correct my face over lunch. I also need some sleep. Lack of sleep just makes everything so much worse. I was in a pretty good mood and headspace yesterday; today I am ugly and dumpy and have a freakish amount of clutter and my head is convinced this treatment will not work and it is all doom doom doom. stupid head.
