So today, in the middle of coming to a stop at an intersection, the truck I was borrowing from my step dad broke down. But you know what the most frustrating part of it was? The fucking radio wouldn’t stop playing The Black Eyed Peas.

All That Heaven Allows
I’m watching Douglas Sirk’s lovely 1955 film ‘All That Heaven Allows’. It’s one of my favorites. But let me just say that I’ll be damned if I ever gave up my smoking hot (albeit closeted homosexual) younger fiancé and the old sawmill he renovated into a kickass love nest just because Ive got two bitchy kids and a bunch of stuffy old coots as my friends. Get out of town. Seriously.

JACKPOT.
Finding out Steve Martin and Charles Grodin star in a movie together that I didnt know about is like finding out some stranger left me their Swiss Bank account.

Me: Is there a man chasing a woman with a bat? Maybe a crow bar?
Step dad: No. It’s some sort of car chase. There’s a deer in the trunk… I think this movies...
Mom: Oh god. That outfit. I think she works at the hospital with me… Yup. She does. She dresses just about as cute there too.
Me: Ok, now say something nice.
Mom: Uh… Those socks go good with her hair?
Me: You bitch.
I’m never going to get any writing done if I don’t get away from my bed and the Internet. I need to find a quiet cafe that doesn’t have kids or obnoxious music.

Sauced
‘Sauced’ is my current favorite slang term. Partly because I like the idea of a human becoming something I put on my pasta. And partly because I cant help but say it like an old Jewish housewife from southern Long Island.
I’ve also been enjoying the word ‘recalcitrant’

"Crazy Cat House Uncovered" →
I saw this link while reading dlisted.com today. And while I share these pictures partially because I cant believe the degree of absolute batshit crazy this lady must be (Crazier still that someone later rented a house to her in LA? And was surprised when she stopped paying rent?)… I share because of the 11th picture. The first 10 photos are absolutely disgusting and sad and almost...
