Archive for December, 2011

We closed early today, so I went to Target to see if I could find Teresa a nice treat. Memo to self: NEVER DO THAT AGAIN (especially on December 24th but also, ever).

So I went down 5th Avenue (in Brooklyn, not Manhattan), got some Chinese take-out and have settled into bed for an old-school Christmas like I used to have when I was single:

(Teresa is at our friend’s Christmas party but the MTA and my job are not conducive to my raging in Williamsburg tonight)

I didn’t make a holiday wage at my not-in-a-Seattle-movie-theater job (which I actually enjoy), but other than that this song feels especially appropriate.

Also, I drank vodka all day and wound up naked in front of the patients.

Happy Holidays!

I am hoping that I will be posting more regularly in the new year. In the meantime, let me wish you all a merry whatever-you-celebrate and a happy it’s-almost-January.

Yea, verily, this made me laugh.

I really like Al Franken.

Please read this.

And, if you have an hour, watch this:

But if you only have a few minutes, play around with this.

The Gary Oldman one will be giving me nightmares for the rest of my life.

G’night!

Read this story from the Chicago Tribune.

It’s about this Web site.

The anonymous blogger behind this site? I know him (or her) and I would like to tell her (or him) that this is a brilliant idea and that I look forward to reading everything it (or that) posts. I might even send in an essay if I ever find time to write again.

Great job, Charna.

One of the only American politicians who doesn’t make me furious.

Al Franken, ladies and gentlemen.

He’s funnier than most, he’s smarter than most, and (doggone it) we need more people like him.

Stop what you are doing and read this right now.

It’s a Truthout article about what has been happening in Iceland over the last few years. Those of you who have seen Inside Job already know much of the story (and those of you who haven’t, shame on you).

The Post hasn’t ever reported on this. But I did learn today that Kourtney Kardashian is pregnant again.

Off to a 3-hour rehearsal. I work tomorrow, Saturday, Sunday, Tuesday, Wednesday and Friday.

Pray for me.
