We're not gonna die. We can't die, Bendis. You know why? Because we are so very pretty. We are just too pretty for God to let us die.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Crap, I just remembered I got invited to a Yankee Swap at work tomorrow, and I didn't get anything. I think it's supposed to be $10 or less, but is two soaps and a lip gloss from the Body Shop too random and lame? I'm not 100% sure I'll be able to go anyway.

Dudes, the competition was fierce! Winners were a sublime graham cracker sandwich cookie (she made the mexican chocolate oreo with orange filling last time) an earl grey/chocolate sandwich cookie in a wee size and a crabchip cookie. Which I didn't even try, I don't like crab at all. (That was the most original.) But there were also Bob's first attempt at a family meringue cookie, several nummy spice ones, lisah's verrrry festive sparkly little glitter bombs, beautiful shortbreads, a rootbeer pinwheel...and I just can't recall.

Fun!

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

Any recs for post-apocalyptic/dystopian novels? I need some cheering up.

Dudes! This is just a crappy cameraphone shot, and it's cloud-covered. But just to give you an idea of what my telescope is like: [link]

I am living in the future.
