laughing in horror - all the time.


my friend's boyfriend just told me the awful story of how the friend's mother just gave him money at a restaurant that he had been invited to. he - being French could not imagine someone counting out money in front of him in public in a restaurant. She being American, thought she was being polite by paying him back promptly.

the difference between your real and imaginary boyfriends


my 'real' boyfriend called me after 1 week and said
rbf: 'hey - why haven't you returned my calls?'
me: you haven't called me - anyway - i'm really busy.
rbf: i've called.
me: no you haven't.
rbf: anyway - its been quite a week. i lost my jacket
pause
rbf: but then i bought a new one at a thrift store. its down.
pause
me: i'm really busy i have to go.

fake boyfriend didn't email me for one week
fbf: Sugar, my computer died, else I would have been happily in a parlay with you. Want to let you know in a hurry that I have not forgotten about you, and I will send you lengthy tidings the moment I get the old man up and running. Hope all is well in your world, dear.

middle america


doesn't know anything about Fitzmas, Valerie Plame, Scooter Libby.

Me: Fitzgerald was great
My mom: I haven't heard anything about that.
Me: 5 minute version of what happened.
My mom (reserving judgment): Uh huh.
Me (desperately): Fitzgerald is Irish, his father was an elevator operator, and he was appointed by Bush.
My mom: See - I don't know why everyone is always criticising poor George.

lets go slumming!


The universe has realigned itself - its going to be smooth sailing from here on in.

For a time here at 'iusedtoblog' we feared that everything was going to fall horribly and nightmarishly apart. that may even be the reason we began this shadow blog.

seriously

i konw that you - like me might think that the maple syrup that has permeated greater new york (including brooklyn - which used to be its own city) is some what of a joke. i thought so to - i told all of the other subway passengers that it was an artist's collective reminding us of what new york used to be. but then they reminded me that it could be toxic nerve gas masked as fake maple syrup and i felt frightened and some of my garolous bravado seeped towards my toes.

goodbye sweet world. may i see you tomorrow!

that wasn't funny

why didn't you tell me.

question everything*

i am the sort of person who looks forward to fitzmas. i'm that kind of vindictive lunatic.

'Twas the night before Fitzmas, and in the White House
Every one was scared shitless, and Bush was quite soused.
The indictments were hanging like Damocles' sword
As verminous oxen prepared to be gored.

The perps were all sleepless, curled fetal in bed,
While visions of prison cells loomed in each head.
And Dick in his jammies and George in his lap
Were sweating and swearing and looking like crap.

When out on the web there arose such a clatter,
The blogs and the forums were buzzing with chatter.
Away to the PC Rove ran like a flash;
He booted his browser and cleared out his cache.

The rumors that flew through the cold autumn air
Made Dubya shiver with angry despair.
When what to his horror-filled eyes did he spy?
A bespectacled man with a brown suit and tie!

With an impartial manner that gave Bush the shits,
He knew in a moment it must be St. Fitz!
With unwavering voice, his indictments they came.
He cleared out his throat and he called them by name:

Now Scooter, Now Libby,
Now Blossoming Turd,
Now Cheney, dear Cheney,
Yes, you are the third.
To the bench of the court,
Up the steps, down the hall,
Now come along, come along,
Come along, all!

He then became silent and went right to work.
He filed the indictments and turned with a jerk
And, pointing his finger at justice's scale,
Said, "The people be served, and let fairness prevail."

He then left the room, to his team gave a nod,
And the sound could be heard of a crumbling facade.
And we all did exclaim, as he faded from sight
"Merry Fitzmas to all, and to all a good night!"

heroin to a junky she will spend the rest of the night worrying about it. even if she hasn't done it in years.

thats really different to a family.

yeah bitches - who among us has 'judgments of the israel supreme court: fighting terrorism within the law.'

human rights watch you were wrong - there's torture all over this piece.

pretty mess

on the day that the city smelled like fake maple syrup i created this blog. perhaps its nuclear fallout - i haven't had the heart to go to super keen news blogs. instead its maybe better to sit in my room smelling the smell. dying safely alone?

no - that sounds depressing.

not what i'm about. you see - i got to see hank williams the third for free tonight. i know people who have ins. but... that's a fucking in. you know. there's even costume changes.

so i once blogged before but then network solutions did its stuff and i've decided its better this way anyway - clean slate. nobody listening writing what i want.
