Fred: It's the pictures in my mind that are getting me. It's like being stuck in a really bad movie with those Clockwork Orange clampy things on my eyeballs. Wesley: Why imagine? Reality's disturbing enough.

Well not canonically, no, but this is transformative fiction.

Sumi--I don't mind listening to the Williams sisters or Andy Roddick or Marat Safin--they're often pretty funny. I like to hear Federer talk about the sport. Most of the rest of the tour players I can take or leave. Oudin is just strictly leave.

The "teenagers" in FNL the movie are so not.

Art Crawl!!!

Oh, I'm talking about the giant group of people who are athletes.

Of course, it may be that once Oudin has done some growing up she will have something interesting to say.

I always do the Amazon card at the Coinstar thing, since I won't pay that fee. Last time I thiught I had abot 50 bucks and it turned out to be 103.

Tom, you're welcome to come for dinner tomorrow if you can't cook.

ION, why is it that compliments from hard-to-please assholes seem to mean so much more than those from actually nice people? Feh.

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

Okay. Last push. Someone tell me I've got talent. Hairpats always get me through to the end of a chapter, man.

It's been so long since I've watched other sports that I can't remember interviews with anyone not named Dennis Rodman. And he was always a hoot. Or Daley Thompson. Or Usain Bolt.

Get out of town!

::wonders if she can pass that off as a compliment from a hard-to-please asshole::

Oh man. Some stupid fuck is playing Reggaeton I can hear two houses away. Cops have been called two hours ago, yet it plays on. What to do?

Keep in mind, I teach at my neighborhood high school. Every indicator is that these will be future students of mine.

Also, I find this picture really eerie: [link] I have to admit, I know it's 100% safe, but it still felt disconcerting to watch the sharks swim by my kid.
