is it ttly lame that i still think frisky dingo is...
Sinn: You didn't kill the taxi driver?
Killface: You know, I was, but I think it's hard enough on the Arabs in this beastly country right now.
Sinn: I don't think he's Arab.
Phil: No, I'm pretty sure that guy is Filipino.
Killface: Well then. [Shoots the taxi driver] London calling.
Grace: Oh my God! Yes! THAT is exactly the kind of bloodlust that makes for a phenomenal interview. Hi. Grace Ryan, Force 10 News.
Killface: And you must be Killface. What am I saying? Of course you're not Killface, not with a face like that; no one in their right mind would think to call you...I'm Killface...if anybody is.
I have to say, as someone who spends the greater portion of her workday answering phones, that by far the most unnerving thing that ever happens is when the person on the line is as falsely cheerful as I. It’s like we’re having a subtle battle over who is less sincere in the conversation, but I can assure you that I usually win.

“so my dad and i are now trying to get along until sunday, although i think...”
– i wrote this about a year ago, but it’s still pretty much true
me: the other day at work some guy was like "who was that writer who used stream of consciousness?"
aric: hahaha
anne rice
me: he made me guess for like 3 minutes
it was james joyce. i made the mistake of starting with less obvious authors
aric: i was about to write some stream of consciousness of a benjy-like gay vampire
but decided against it.
me: wait
you have to
aric: i'll get it published in fan-fiction.net
me: now that you've said it
aric: sigh
well, i found my christmas activity
me: i mean, you have the free time
aric: Let's look at the two fates i could have had here
1. Sunny, 35 degree weather. I go to my parent's house, have a nice christmas, come back up on Sunday with my laundry done and some groceries bought by my mom. I'm content.
me: that's lovely
aric: 2. Icy, terrible roads. I stay in. I write stream of consciousness, homosexual, mentally challenged vampire fan fiction. I descend into a terrible oblivion and never recover. I have dirty laundry and am out of food. I'm discontent.
there is no third option. those are my two fates. looking outside, it looks like the latter will befall me.
We were having an argument at work yesterday as to which Hitchcock movies starred Grace Kelly. Audrey said Rear Window (correct), and I said Dial M for Murder, to which some guy replied, “No way, that’s an ’80s movie. You’re thinking of something else.” Anyway, I was totally right, and now I have to think of a way to bring it back up a week later without sounding...
every night a strange geometry

a conversation with an extremely old volunteer
Leonora: Bye, Ashley! See you tomorrow!

Leonora: Well...whatever.
You know what word I like?

I just found the best sparkly angelfish tattoo at work, but because of my pilgrimesque dressing habits, I either have to put it on my face or on my hand. If only my upbringing had been less puritanical…
edit: I decided to put it on my face.
Listening to “The Boy With the Arab Strap” directly upon awaking really does make me feel better about this whole ‘getting up before 8:00am’ thing.
“Thank you so much for the invitation! I’ve come up with several great...”
– swwhite
O man, I just remembered that I’m teaching an organic cooking class Tuesday afternoon. I should…um…hmmm.

Laura: why do people like emily dickinson so much
Laura: i mean yeah she wrote a lot of poems
Laura: and was depressed and lived in a house
Laura: alone
Laura: forever
Alice: doesn't that describe like every female writer ever
Alice: Depressed and Living in a House
Alice: The Emily Dickinson/Virginia Woolf/Sylvia Plath Story
Laura: NO some of them must have lived in an apartment
Laura: what's that other depressed female author
Laura: who's more modern
Laura: like sylvia plath but maybe newer
Alice: joyce carol oates? maybe she's not depressed just a female
It's funny because it's true.
