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

I'm arguing about Trump with a high school friend of my mother's. I should not be doing this.

See? I gave everybody here an opportunity to tell me what a bad person I am and nobody did, because I fuckin' rule.

JZ, I don't know if you listen to On the Media, but they had a great short segment recently where they got a bunch of the old Spy folks together for a chat. Very amusing.

I don't often, but I'll have to hunt this down! All through the 90s, Spy (along with the catastrophe of the Central Park 5 trial) was almost the only reason a left-coaster like me had any idea who Trump was.

Aurelia, I love that story.

Bed and lamps assembled. It looks nice. I'm sweaty gross and still haven't figured out how I'm gonna get the old bed out of the house. But the new stuff looks really nice & I'm excited to have my parents coming in 12 days.

Also, seriously, my little car is a tardis. I'd measured and measured and was sure I was going to have to have something hanging out a window, if not resort to delivery. Nope, it all fit, with clearance to spare.

Unusually and exceedingly peculiar and altogether quite impossible to describe

I got 3 inches of hair cut (I did not go for the short cut; this is about to my shoulders) (yeah, my hair was REALLY long) and my salon had an OPI display that happened to have ONE bottle of Madam President left, so I had to buy it. HAD TO, I say! Even in person, it is pinker than I like my reds, but I'll definitely put it on my toes. And I'll definitely wear it on my fingernails for Election Day, though I may break it out before.

Why am I surprised at how sore I am this morning?

Yes he did! And may the whole nation sing it soon.

That was funny as hell, and I wonder if he put it in at the last minute after the Billy Bush tape was leaked. In fact, I feel like the whole opening sketch was hastily written Friday because of the Billy Bush tapes. I mean, OF COURSE they were going to address it, but I bet the writers were up laaaaaaaate Friday writing it. And since I don't watch SNL on the regular, I wondered: is it normal to have the opening sketch *without* the guest host? I'm thinking no, but they needed to do the Trump sketch so they dropped/bumped whatever the original opening sketch was.

"I remember when they eventually introduced that drug kingpin who murdered people and smuggled drugs inside snakes and I was like 'Finally. A normal person.'” —RahvinDragand

I doubt it, traditionally they do political cold opens up until the election so they probably had something dealing with the VP debate planned (maybe Trump being miffed that Pence did well?) and then added the Pussygate material at the last minute.
