I’m helping. Also, I might be arrested.

I live in rural Texas, so every ten feet there’s a sign warning motorists that there are deer. The signs so prevalent that you don’t even notice them anymore, and they serve no purpose at all, unless you’re suddenly new to the existence of deer. In an entirely unrelated and non-illegal note, did you knowContinue reading “I’m helping. Also, I might be arrested.”

UPDATED: And then the PR guy called me “a fucking bitch”. I can’t even make this shit up.

SEE UPDATES BELOW… I know I just posted a few hours ago, but I’m posting again because you all know how dedicated I am to writing about PR pitches (both good and bad) and this one just can’t wait. I got a form letter email pitch (more than one, actually) about a Kardashian sister beingContinue reading “UPDATED: And then the PR guy called me “a fucking bitch”. I can’t even make this shit up.”

I think I need some vampire blood for my cat.

Conversation I had with Victor about our ancient cat, who I’ve had for almost my entire adult life, and who I suspect might be immortal: me: There’s something on Posey’s leg. Victor: Hmm. Is it Posey’s foot? me: It’s not a trick question. It sort of looks like he’s trying to grow an extra toe.Continue reading “I think I need some vampire blood for my cat.”

An open letter to lots of people I’ve accidentally offended

You know when you’re on twitter and someone sends you a DM about zombie gnomes, and then the next day you DM them back, saying: “That’s fucking hysterical. You made my whole morning!” And then you go to their actual public twitter stream and it’s all: “Thank you so much for all of your kindContinue reading “An open letter to lots of people I’ve accidentally offended”
