A quicky.
Ok, so for a few months now I’ve been saying (more to myself than anyone else) that I was much smarter, much more aware and had a way better sense of self at like 23-24. The few people I have said this to looked at me blindly. This wasn’t helpful. Then, THEN, I’m laying in bed watching Life and Times of Tim and reading Lorrie Moore’s Anagrams and I get to this paragraph:

i say cunt. a lot. 90% of the time it is said about somebody who is, in fact, being a cunt. and about 10% of the time it’s about something totally frustrating, like peeling a pomegranate or having to ‘register’ on a website just to buy something you really don’t need anyway. it’s weird that i say cunt so much because i try not to use any other profanity, like, ever,...

Once to Veronica via gchat after she and I confessed our 90000th calorie faux pas for this week (i asked for extra butter for my...
not a soothsayer
but let me soothsay this: there is this band called Alabama Shakes and everybody will love them soon. and i’ll see them on Jimmy Fallon and get mad that they are on Jimmy Fallon and i loved them before anyone else did. they have a 4 track EP on their website that came out a few months ago. they’re touring now. i like their album cover.
thoughts?
so thank goodness gracious that i’m almost done with my 2011 weekly recaps. what started as a way to never forget a god damn day of this year (sorry, God) has ended with Facebook Timeline beating me to it and making it much easier and prettier. I’m sure when I’m 36, I’ll appreciate these posts and what have you, but, they started to get very annoying to keep up with. and...

i am in a mush-gush christmas kind of mood and it’s raining and warm and weird outside and i’m at the antique store tonight because we are open for holiday hours and i’m surrounded by other people’s ornaments and plastic snowmen and i’m listening to A Jolly Frank Sinatra Christmas and i’m feeling three different emotions that i will use a second grade vocabulary...

i bought totally overpriced organic tropical gogi green tea because of this promotional copy on the side of the box:
