I don't even.

I took Loki out on the deck, rejoicing that the predicted snow wasn't.

It just started snowing. Heavily. Goddamn.

You were a wrong baby who grew up wrong. The wrong kind of wrong. It's better you hear it from a friend.

Wondermark! [link] In the missives below the comic strip, David Malki ! has set about seeking Better Olympic Narratives, and is now tweeting them. Examples:

The last practitioner of a dying sport
Little white lie on first date has gone too far
Trying to outski her past

And now people are tweeting back:

Dying father made her promise to never enter the olympics; hates dying father.

Remember that the frontier of the Rebellion is everywhere. And even the smallest act of insurrection pushes our lines forward.

Have you seen the “feud” that David Malki and Ryan North have been having?

Indeed, it is a thing of beauty and a joy forever.

That was a very unsatisfactory sleeping-in. Partly the cats fault, partly, I just couldn't. Oh well.

not your mom's socks.

dear person to whom I am related, yes, I disagreed with you. Yes, I called you on something. Your next step should not necessarily be sending me an updated living will, "Just in case." because I already have two others from previous disagreements. Love, me.

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

Your next step should not necessarily be sending me an updated living will, "Just in case." because I already have two others from previous disagreements.

Oh, that is the height of passive-aggressive guilt tripping.

If you're going through hell/keep on going/don't slow down/keep your fear from showing/you might be gone/'fore the devil even knows you're there

Okay, that's kind of hysterical. In both senses.

Sox, all I can think of right now is that you need to ask Jenny Lawson if you can borrow Wil Wheaton collating papers to send back to person to whom you are related.

But I may only be interested in amusing myself, and not actually helping.
