Dana, lots of -ma. Somebody on Kos just called me a "canker on the body social" Can you imagine saying that to somebody you don't know? Who's not Glenn Beck? I mention it cause I want karma points for not being all "Dude, I have brain damage," and causing that person to get beaten in a parking lot someplace. Because I *could* have won that argument by pityfuck. Instantly. Note to self: Some people on Kos do not like it when you joke about slashing Kos. Even with Chris Hayes, who, in my view, is like winning $5000 in the fake-boyfriend Lotto.

Sorry, erika. I tried making a joke on DailyKos once. The scar still aches when it rains.

The people on Kos are far too "We are Serious. This is a Serious Site" for humor. I think laughing means you've sold out to the corporations. I deleted my links when I couldn't find a way to delete my account.

WTF erika?

Yeah see now this proves two things. One, other person is a wrong-headed asshole. Two, you are funny.

Some people like my jokes, even there. But I know humor is subjective so even a simple "That's disgusting!1" would be okay, compared to acting like you want to go a few rounds and asking passive -aggressive questions about therapy. But I totally meant it as a compliment...if I were a website founder on the down-low, I'd want Chris Hayes. If there weren't a Mrs. Hayes, and I had a chance in hell, I'd hit it, myself. (I wasn't trying to say that they really *are*, or anything.) I thought everyone on the internet knew about slash. I have been in SO much therapy...she does not even know. I am the brain-damaged, gentile, Barbra Streisand of therapy. Which sometimes does make me wonder how "better' this really is, but I don't need some stranger on the internets pointing that out.

My brain keeps confusing Chris Hayes with Chris Bowers. I know not why.

Makes sense, between OpenLeft Bowers, and attractive actor Bowers, but of course I mean Rachel's guest-host, who looks like the lovechild of Jimmy Oleson and Chris O'Donnell(it's Rachel's fault, really. One time she said she had him tied up in her green room, and, bang, crushage.)

My sister and I went out for Indian food, then we came back to my place and had cake and champagne and watched The Thin Man. That was a nice relaxing birthday. If I'd been feeling better, might have found something more exciting, but Indian food and cake and champagne and Nick and Nora Charles definitely make for a good night.

Sounds like a very good birthday.

Trivia note: "Another Man Done Gone" was just on my radio. My thought: I guess there is a reason "Handsome Jack" was never called "Smart Jack".

Happy Birthday, Hil!
