My throat hurt as I drove away from Grumpy’s at an entirely too late hour of the night. It was from screaming about how sexist Twilight is. Peabo’s voice probably doesn’t hurt because she’s all calm, cool, and collected in her arguments.
Part of the pain was caused by the laughter.
And the tator tots didn’t [...]

Here is how it is
One day you’re leaping from bed at 11:37 on a Thursday barely-morning because you’re supposed to meet someone for lunch at noon and the next thing you know it’s Friday. And it’s May.

Living the dream
“So you lost your job?” Vodo asked.
“Yeah.”
“I thought you were a freelancer.”
“No, I have a real job.”
“Really?”
“How do you think I made my money?”

“No way, I’m nine to five and all that.” I paused. “Okay, 9:30 to 4, but still.”
He narrowed his eyes and half-grinned. “Did you get fired?”
“Nah, [...]

I can’t remember if it was Peabo or FFJ who said it, but while discussing Project Runway and my love of Christian one of them called him “The Gay Vodo.” So as I’m sitting in class Thursday night, staring across the table at Vodo all I could think was “gay vodo gay vodo gay [...]

What she said tonight
Peabo and I were at Grumpy’s sans Jags who had to go to some Christmas concert at one of her kid’s school.

Pretty standard dinner conversation, I think.
At [...]

On class, comic books, and crackpot theory #29
In class on Thursday we workshopped a story that had a wonderful premise. In the story a man is afflicted with all the diseases ever, a condition called Itisitis. With the Itisitis comes a superpower, the ability to give it away. Anyway, like I said, the premise was pretty kick ass.
So, as it often [...]
