Dad: I've actually been watching a lot of 50's scifi movies lately. You know, The Brain That Wouldn't Die...The Day the Earth Stood Still...
Me: Plan 9 From Outer Space? Glen or Glenda?
Dad: ...I don't see why you always have to bring Ed Wood into everything. Anyway, I watched a pretty good movie last night. It had that guy from that show.

Dad: You know, that medical show everyone likes. It had that hunky doctor in it.

I found out this morning that I got a promotion! I feel weird and old.
A good way to get over your desire for a piercing:

I wish someone would do a cover of “Lay, Lady, Lay” and replace the lyrics “lay across my big brass bed” with “lay across my big brass balls.” That would please me greatly.

Thanks to the recent cold weather and my own lack of preventative maintenance, the corner of my mouth is now cracked and bloody and just generally hideous. As I gazed into the mirror a few moments ago, I realized that I look a bit like a zombie girl, and suddenly my temporary disfigurement seems much more bearable.

I wasn’t sure if I should go running this morning with so much snow lingering on sidewalks and streets, but when I turned my iPod on shuffle, the first song to play was “The Stars of Track and Field” by Belle & Sebastian. A sign from God? No, a sign from Stuart Murdoch.
It was a great snow-run.
I am cheering so hard for this fox. →
