Well, a gathering is brie, mellow song stylings; shindig, dip, less mellow song stylings, perhaps a large amount of malt beverage, and hootenanny, well, it's chock full of hoot, just a little bit of nanny.

We won’t stop until everyone is gay.

Your day isn't made just a little better by a picture of Brian Boitano holding an ice cream sandwich with tongs in the opening of an oven? Well, po-tay-to, po-tah-to.

Man, I wish I could be that Much.

Aw, you're plenty Much.

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

I thought I'd be all Sarah Vowell and reading stories on NPR for afternoon drive time by now. And I'm gonna be 39 in a few weeks and I MIGHT AS WELL GO HOME AND LIVE WITH MY MOM AND GET MORE CATS.

Or something.

Because books.

I think I probably would have liked the Bloggess more before she became the Bloggess. She's amusing sometimes, though.

My son is being an incredible pain in the ass tonight. A five-day school week is really too long for him. And he's having social adjustment issues.

ION my half-brother and his wife are expecting their first child. Since he works at Starbucks and she works at Annie Woo's, I am not sure how they plan to afford a child at this point. At least he has insurance.

I'm terrifically busy with my ennui.

When I was little, I thought I would be
A big comedian on late-night TV
But now I'm thirty-two, and as you can see, I'm not!
Oh, well!
It sucks to be me!

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

When I was little, I thought I'd grow up to be unmarried, childless, and an astronomer. Two out of three ain't bad.

Sometimes I trip on how happy we could be.

Allyson, I think you have a pretty good life, even if you aren't Sarah Vowell. Your face and voice are too lovely to be her, anyway...

Sir, it's not an offence to let your cat eat your bacon. Okay? And we don't arrest cats, I'm very sorry.

When I was four, I wanted to either be an astronaut or a bus driver.

I guess I still could be a bus driver.

Here is a baby sloth in pajamas. You’re welcome.

Good god, they really are just ridiculously adorable.

Aw, Jesse, I'm going to send you some homemade hip hop fortune cookies.

It is a pretty good life. I'm grateful.
