Very convincing. Makes me completely want to put myself under government control. Please take me to where you can make me unconscious and naked.

Wait, is this real-world child support, where the money goes to buy food for the kids, or MRA fantasyland child support where the women just buy Ferraris and cocaine? -Jessica

Vroman's is booked through December, so I need to figure out where to have a book release event. For some reason, I am mentally unable to figure out what to do.

I'm also terrified that even if I do figure out what to do, no one will come.

Remember when I used to be good at this shit? Remember? What happened?

hivemind question!

i've booked a car service to take me to and from the airport when i come to Chicago next month, but the company seems kind of flaky. does anyone know of a legit and non-flaky car service that i can use?

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

I had a macro-nap. I have to go to work tomorrow, so I hope I start feeling better soon.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

My friends on Facebook are posting about a tornado in Brooklyn? WTFF?!

I meant to say, my Facebook was blowing up with this as well. Damn hipster tornados.

It's five thousand for kissing, ten thousand for snuggling... End of list.

Hodgman was funny about the tornado on twitter:

I know other cities have "tornados". But you really haven't had one til you've had an AUTHENTIC Brooklyn tornado.

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

A tornado tore through metro Detroit when I lived there. It was very freaky.

That's especially funny because I'm hearing it in Hodgman's voice.

Kick me for self-pity. It's so unbecoming.

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

I had a tornado pass over my apartment in Philly. Uprooted a tree outside the kitchen on one side, and the bedroom on the other.

Then it destroyed a garden in Narberth that was about to be featured on one of those makeover shows.
