More fun from the self-loathing society: This American Life had a show about how young female undercover cops infiltrated a high school and flirted with boys to entrap them into selling pot, so they could charge them with felonies and destroy their lives at an early age.
Last year in three high schools in Florida, several undercover police officers posed as students. The undercover cops went to...

Oh man. I am getting too old for this. Or my liver is, rather. Yikes.

– Um, what? A boosted immune system prevents pregnancy? Riiiiight.
A shot of estrogen directly after intercourse would boost the woman’s immune system to prevent potential pregnancy.

Me: Can you make me pancakes?
Ian: Now? Fuck all that noise! Now, where did you put my chocolate syrup. Wheeeerrreeee?? I want ice cream.
This concludes drunk snacking theater.

a thousand times over she saved me
She was born into a warzone burned out and bombs dropped daily but she never complained when we stepped over shrapnel to play in the dirt and leaves i held onto her when the missiles came in they blew past my ears scratching the surface and burying themselves at my feet turning to bruises i smoothed behind my ears like locks of hair we walked like soldiers on eggshells cautious at all the wrong...

Last night I found myself involved in a discussion where we tried to decide if the act of becoming a parent is narcissistic or selfish. Not as a knock to those who are parents; it began as a discussion of my own desire (or lack thereof, if that old friend still exists) to procreate.
Eventually, I decided it’s both. It’s narcissistic because it’s believing we’re bringing...

OK, this is freaky.

Sorry this is basically a sony ad, but the results ACTUALLY freaked me out. I’m sure there are a ton of these around, but this was the first I’ve seen. Stare at the red dot on her nose for 30 seconds. Look at the ceiling and blink really quickly. WHAT THE FUCK BRAIN!?!?!?! WHAT THE FUCK….

Woke up at 2 am to a loud, violent-looking storm. The weather channel app tells me there’s a tornado watch and a severe storm nearby, but local news channels are just showing infomercials and Jimmy Fallon.
Lightning just struck outside my house. I hope my router isn’t fried again.
Ok, whoa. That’s hail. I just tried to get Ian into the downstairs bathroom but he’s...

I have been reading Bukowski again. It’s very fitting for the doldrums of winter, although I don’t particularly feel very doldrummy this winter. It’s probably the weather, as it’s been mild and so has my mood.
But, the Bukowski. There is no better way to feel sad, nostalgic, a bit rancorous and then all at once, hopeful!—because one day I will be old and have finally...

I can't wait until he really gets going
The only thing keeping me from burying my head in the Facebook sand this election season is my very intelligent, well-spoken (and outspoken), formerly-Republican-turned-liberal uncle. The man is a gem.

John was an alcoholic. I didn’t know that when we were 17, but I know that now. The clear water bottle and flushed skin makes sense now. He was drunk before class, drunk before football practice, the drunkest before football games. He hit hard, or at least my Dad said he hit hard. He wore number…

dictionaryofobscuresorrows:
n. frustration that you’re not enjoying an experience as much as you should, even something you’ve worked for years to attain, which prompts you to plug in various thought combinations to try for anything more than static emotional blankness, as if your heart had been accidentally demagnetized by a surge of expectations.
I get this a lot.

The middle
For the first time in seven years, I’m working somewhere that is open the week between Christmas and New Year’s. Meaning I don’t have the entire week off like I’ve had for so long.
I thought I’d be super-bummed about it, but I’m not really. I have a five-day weekend coming up, and I’m going to play the shit out of some video games then and sleep a ton....
