No. You're missing the point. The design of the thing is functional. The plan is not to shoot you. The plan is to get the girl. If there's no girl, then the plan, well, is like the room.

Sometimes I think I might just move up to Vermont, open a bookstore or a vegan restaurant. Adam Schlesinger, z''l

Chanukah started! Happy Chanukah! (We haven't actually done anything for Chanukah yet. My sister is out getting the turkey for tomorrow, my mom's taking a nap, and my dad isn't home from work yet. But the sun set, so that means it's Chanukah now.)

Now let us crush something soft and watch it fountain blood. That is a girlish thing to want to do, yes?

Happy Chanukah, Hil! Still about half an hour to go here...

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Happy Chanukah, y'all!

Eat at a Chuck E. Cheese's to compare for certain.

For YEARS I kept a text on my phone from msbelle (right??) about how Chuck E. Cheese was the 7th circle of hell.

this mess was yours / now your mess is mine

My Mom just told me I'm not supposed to talk tomorrow about my nephew’s visit to the psychiatric ward, which I didn’t know about, because nobody has talked to me about it.

Well, (1) that makes it easy for you to not talk about it, and (2) YIKES.

Happy Chanukah!!

My friend David is now my most favourite person on the planet. He just sent me a copy of Blue Nights signed by Joan Didion. He`s only been holding onto for a year and a half without telling me. (He interviewed her.) I will even forgive him how long it took to send it to me.

I still regret not going down to watch the interview, but this makes up for it.

Oy vey, Tom. Oy vey.

Wow, that's cool, Sue!

Yeah, I am totally chuffed that he thought of me. It`s a (US) Thanksgiving miracle

Happy Chanukah!

Goodness, Tom.

Every now and then, I think I might actually be a little odd.

Happy Chanukah!

Good grief, Tom! Family, nothing weirder.

I heart online shopping. How did I manage before?

so I couldn't find my sister's sweet potato rolls but I did manage to grab the last can of ready whip in the store. A minor victory.

I am a woman of various inclinations and only some of the time are they to burn everything down in frustration

I am almost all ready to go to my parents but I hit a wall at finding something kind of dressy to bring to wear for dinner. Argh, wardrobe decisions.
