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”

I’d like to think that God would laugh at these.

This is why I shouldn’t be allowed to work with people

Stop being an asshole, Target

Dear Target: I realize that you’re probably trying to be helpful by printing item descriptions on my reciept but I’m pretty sure the logical keyword for “BigSexyHairspray” should be “hairspray“.  Not “sexy“. Otherwise when you’re fumbling for your keys and drop your receipt in the parking lot a well-meaning stranger will pick it up andContinue reading “Stop being an asshole, Target”

Dear internet: You have lost your damn mind. Never change.

If this is your first time here you should skip this post.  Really.  Go away until tomorrow.  It’s one long run-on sentence and makes almost no sense and it’s filled with typos.  I haven’t slept in two days. The last 36 hours has been strange even by my personal standards.  First of all, after twoContinue reading “Dear internet: You have lost your damn mind. Never change.”

Beautiful Writers book: Writers! This coming-of-career memoir (w/ the BEST advice from celeb authors, real shit you haven’t heard) is life. A page-turning beach read doubling as how-to. #Magic
