I could really use something to cheer me up right now.
Oh, here we go…

Getting your lungs licked by a Labrador Retriever
Strange dream last night.
Unfortunately, I can only remember the disturbing part. I was sicced by a black labrador retriever. The dog wasn’t angry, he just licked my face. And then proceeded to stick his gigantic tongue in my mouth and all the way down to my lungs.
I realized that this probably wasn’t healthy or even [...]
Grand Mystic Royal Order of the Horrible Customers

Stefan Sharkansky: Waitress Slayer
Leaving at 6:30

Sellin’ the Kirby

Are their [...]

Which Pulp Fiction Character Are You?
Tired of being underappreciated and manipulated by powerful “others,” you fight back. Though possessing a cold, violent outside, you have a soft, sentimental inside. You love your partner, you cherish family heirlooms, and you want nothing more than to be genuinely happy — but you don’t mind having to kill a couple of [...]
Alone Again
Well, Nathan’s gone back home. He should be back for Christmas but I don’t know how I’m going to afford it.
He was really good on the flights to Kansas City and slept most of the way there.
Airtran canceled my flight back home due to mechanical problems, but it worked out even better for me. They [...]
