Quote of the Day

From my dearest Teena Weena:

When her totally precious son told her that he didn't like any of "the losers she'd been with" and "should have just stuck with my dad."

She said, "Thank you, Michael."

And THOUGHT:

"I'd rather be alone and scratching my ass with a stick than be with your father."

She made me snort!!!!!!!!! At work!

Would you people *please* stop posting these things?

I keep having to copy you. Good for fun. Not so good for the creativity!

1 Thing You Want To Do Before You Die…

Publish a story so rich and lucid that it inspires someone to become a writer.

As the end of the year approaches, we schedule our performance reviews.

And I'm pleased to report that I have told my boss all about my accomplishments. They are as follows:

• looked cute
• laughed loudly
• became slightly less confused, and
• checked my email.

No, I'm not kidding. I really said that. However, I didn't put it in my written performance plan. Just in an instant message. I'm so proud. Surely my father, who had an actual career, is, too.

Beautiful things are difficult.

Translation from Greek (pick one):

• Beauty is painful.
• Beautiful things are difficult.
• What the hell was I thinking taking on this task?
• Every good idea eventually degenerates into very hard work.
• Everything worth anything costs dearly.

On Sunday afternoon I discovered my Uglydog in bed with an obviously satisfied and SMOKING talking Edna doll. Oh the humanity! Er, doll-ity?

but it may be necessary from time to time

to give the stupid or uninformed beholder

a black eye."
