You know how baby carrots are really "baby cut" carrots?

I just found a WHOLE HUGE curled up CARROT in my bag. It was really weird.

Isn't your boss misunderstanding how migraine triggers work anyway? As I understand it substance x is a trigger for person y. Though some triggers are more common than others, no substance is a trigger for everyone, and just about anything can be a trigger for someone. True?

There's a pretty funny throwaway joke in Bridesmaids about "the ugly carrot" in every bag.

I got the ugly carrot!!

Tom Lenk and friends are apparently raising funds through kickstarter for a documentary about producing a one man show. They have different levels of support. I think they know no one is going to give them $10,000, because this is your gift:

Tom will fly to your home, wash your car (while wearing lederhosen), perform his show in your kitchen or living room, prepare a meal for you (no guarantee that it will be edible), sing you a lullaby before bed, and watch you while you sleep.

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

I don't know if everything triggers someone, but there's nothing that says everyone has a trigger. If he sees me eating beef jerky, he'll have a point. But he won't, because things that trigger me start to taste nasty pretty damned quick.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Because you're paying?

mmm... beef jerky.

I have a meetup thing tonight. I don't want to go. I agreed weeks ago, but now I have remorse!

Tomorrow I have to enroll Grace in a different school for a Pre-K program. It's a school with WHITE KIDS! (and Asian kids) and kids who aren't super damaged. It's on a regular elementary campus.

"Look, son, if it's good enough for Shirley Bassey, it's good enough for you."

Sheesh, I'm getting background ads on another site for Showtime's Weeds and Big C and they're obviously paired together on purpose because Mary Louise Parker and Laura Linney are striking almost identical poses, bustalicious, tank tops, with the same flowy waves of hair. They're certainly attractive women, but the glamor angle is pretty far from what both shows are about. Seems like a marketing mistake.
