Didon on Gingrich
This inclination toward the pointlessly specific (we have here a man who once estimated the odds on the survival of his second marriage at “53 to 47”) is coupled with a tic to inflate what is actually specific into a general principle, a big concept. The cherry blossoms in Washington, he advised his constituents in 1984, remind us that “there’s a rhythm and cycle to life. Winter goes and spring...
agenda for the day:
1) wake up, coffee, talk to the cats.
2) get ready for Chinese buffet, talk to cats.
3) sit at moms house, watch sports games for hours on end.

guess I’ll go back to posting photos of cats now.

I’ve taken your advice and followed directions…and im sick! I did it!
wet food
switched my cats to wet food. friskies. tender cuts. one of my cats wont stop stackin’ logs on the kitchen floor right in front of the litter box. AFTER ALL OF THESE TENDER CUTS! THANKLESS CAT.
I never thought I’d say this, but…work isn’t so bad right now. people are being NICE. everyone seems GOOD. It’s like a pleasant warp zone, like web Mario goes to waterworld (in original Mario) and that nice music plays and he squeaks when you press B.
I stretched my boots with a broom. I don’t have the time to visit the little Italian man on Hertel even though he deserves it and once re-soled my favorite thrift store shoes. there was no opportune time to wear them this late summer/fall. The last semester of graduate school is pressing down, and I panicked to my mom’s horror about loan debt. She offered me information on...
“Results of your

...”
– Instead of writing my paper, I started taking this quiz online. I ended up forgetting about the quiz halfway through, ate some stew with my mother, found a tiny bottle of pepsi, switched over my laundry, started a book, texted my boyfriend about my mother putting venison in the cat’s food...

Food court
I’m sitting closer to Sbarro than Subway, but that doesn’t mean I can’t hear the lady standing in
front of the empty kiosk complaining about how nobody is helping her. The two black 20something janitors talk about all of the 18-year old “fresh” that was at some tattoo party over the weekend as they sweep up junk around the garbage can with their broom and pan like...
Bridesmaids
I really like when she does the Charleston during the sober test. That’s all.
Hangover
This is the first hangover I’ve had in a long time. Sometimes they just sideswipe me, unpredictable. You like to believe you have the formula all figured out: keep it to the same type of drink, stay away from malt beverages (duh), make sure you drink water in-between etc. That’s all bullshit, because I had four drinks over the course of five hours and I’ve been turned into a...
