He’s right. You don’t open Christmas gifts until Christmas, otherwise they’d be “three-days-before-Christmas gifts”, or something like that. Think of the wait as foreplay.

You’ve heard of foreplay, no?

Well, you’ll just have to bite your lip and wait it out. Instant gratification was the downfall of our parents’ generation, and it’s up to us to start teaching the youth of today that some things are worth waiting for.

I’m sorry, were you saying something? I was distracted by my cell phone, my pager, three IMs and two emails.

That was all a joke, you know. I’m a lonely, lonely man who has no cell phone or pager, sitting in his basement in the dark, hoping to make a humorous comment juxtaposing today’s “wired world” against his own plea for patience.

Come down here and eat chicken with me, beautiful. It’s so dark!

Things I Want to Tell You

I am celebrating my independence by sitting around in my pajamas until noon. [+]

The only thing the Slate piece on overused catchphrases is missing is how we really, really need to ditch douche. [+]

The best line I've read all damn day: "you can see from these photos that i was dressing like the secretary of the indigo girl's fan club, but not living the part." [+]

Joe Henry in the LA Times on Music's Literary Side. It's really good until he mentions Alice Munro (barf). [+]

You should go listen to this NPR interview with Liz Phair on the 15th Anniversary of Exile in Guyville. Go listen, now. Seriously. Go. She talks about the whole Exile on Mainstreet/Guyville thing. It's fascinating. [+]

Could The Deets be any cuter? No, no he couldn't be. [+]
