I remember the crazy days. 500 posts an hour. Nubmer! Natgbsb

how shitballs Jesse is totally internet famous. I think we should get her on a morning tv show, or Ellen, or some such.

I was going to ask and forgot -- do you get any, some, a lot of submissions from new people?

And then Ortus came and said "It's Ortin' time" and they all Orted off into the sunset

I know I've used "it's all downhill from here" to mean this is where it gets easy, but also "the day went downhill" to mean everything got worse. Very context dependent.

I was just thinking this. Downhill is a direction of undefined value, apparently.

Phone (specifically iPhone) car navigators, does anyone have a dashboard mount they love? I find that Waze and/or Google Maps gives me much better local directions than my TomTom, but I don't have a good way to look at the map. Do those sticky pad ones actually work?

Oh, and my 2002 car definitely does not have enough cup holders, and the ones it does have are in totally stupid places. The two in the front seat block the AC controls when you put cups in them, and the ones in the back seat are close to the floor so kids can't reach them. Dylan's booster seat has cup/snack holders built-in, but Aeryn is out of luck for at least another two years.

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

In my car, the arm rest on the drivers seat blocks access to the parking break.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

A few recently, which is nice.

Hahaha! I'm pretty sure I'm not even tumblr famous until I have more followers than neon-vagina.

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

What the fuck even is the point of neon-vagina, and why are they famous? I guess they get points for not auto-playing music on their layout, but is that and a high key palette enough?

I've been told that cup-holder goodness is dependent on where the cars are designed. As in Europeans think the idea of drinking coffee in your car is stupid, so they're an afterthought. Is that the reason my Jetta's cup holders were fragile and obscured the CD-player? I do not know. The new old car only has one readily reachable.

I don't know, but she posts a shitton of stuff.

Enh, what do I know? My fanart tumblr has half the followers of my ita tumblr. Which reminds me, I need to update provocateuse today.

I should have told my sister to come help me. I didn't think I'd feel this crappy for this long.

My pain gamble for today is dicey too, but fuck that. I want to take the art course. I want to leave the house. I want to indulge myself and learn something.

Dammit, I should not have started 7 Psychopaths knowing I wouldn't finish it in one go. I am IN LOVE. Sam Rockwell, Colin Farrell, and Christopher Walken are a threesome I never knew I wanted.

I confess that I have reblogged stuff from eyecandy to goodstuff as a promotional strategy.
