From Invitation Only by Kate Brian: “I know. It’s not easy,” Ariana said, shaking her head. She hugged her notebooks to her chest and curled her slim shoulders in against the wind, her chin tucked down so it was almost hidden behind the books. “But if you’re going to put something on a page and [...]

I totally forgot I was making eggs…, originally uploaded by Lintilla. I’m a little absent minded these days. Oh well. More booze. More pills. More hours and hours of tedious, torturous audiobooks about vampires by Stephanie Meyer. I am addicted to pain. Ugh, I just got to the part where she tries clumsily to write [...]

“You feel chilled because you have no character. You’re a depressing assemblage of pop culture influences and cancelled emotions, driven by the sputtering engine of only the most banal form of capitalism.

Stephen just wrote down most of the things I used to sit there yelling at Trudeau on 47 screens on Sunday mornings when I was working at Fox. Good times, those were. I thought [...]

I was watching the extras on The Hitchhiker’s Guide to the Galaxy DVD last night.

Kevin Trudeau’s book of bullshit Natural Cures ‘They’ Don’t Want You to Know About is a bestseller? According to The Daily Show, anyhoo. People are stupidlyer than I thought. And I didn’t think that they were generally very smart to begin with. Even if it was rational for people watching the infomercial to believe that [...]
