a haiku for you

Drunk iPhone typing–

I didn’t realize I had

such big, clumsy thumbs.

The best part is that these were spotted in Takoma Park, Land of Hippies.

Nothing says you're a player like... well, yeah.

“Once you try a pair, you will wonder why you never tried them before.”

Indeed.

I’ve started dedicating one of my browser tabs to marmoset images so that when I’m feeling cranky, overwhelmed, or generally bedraggled I can click on it and feel a little bit better.

This one’s my favorite. Just look at that crazy ass little primate face.

I had a check-up this morning, and I’m an inch taller than I was a year ago.  Seriously. I had her measure twice.

My new proportions promise to make me a formidable physical opponent to 5th graders everywhere.

things that make me sad, #71

Today at the pool I got super psyched when it looked like I was going to lap the dude swimming next to me. Then we got to the end of our lanes and I saw he was about 80.

Train Wreck Series Returns!

Hey, kids!

The series that brought you Miss South Carolina’s bumbling attempts to discuss foreign policy and Britney Spears’ drunk performance at the 2008 MTV Video Music Awards is back, this time with Sarah Palin, the former Republican vice presidential nominee.

I have tried really, really hard to ignore Sarah Palin since the election ended and the immediate threat of her holding national office subsided, but today I have to make an exception because 1) she resigned from her post as governor of Alaska a full year and a half before the end of her term, and 2) she sounded completely bat shit crazy while she was doing it.

Go ahead. Watch it. You know you want to.
