In which it still fucking hurts and I sorta feel like I should be over it, but I’m not. I had Bindu put down a year ago today. She’d had about a dozen painful heart attacks. She had advanced heart, liver, and Cushing’s diseases. She was going deaf and didn’t seem to see very well. […]
In which I tell you a secret. Every time I enter a restroom — public, private, whatever — I tidy it up. I pick up the paper from the floor, dry off the counters, wipe up the soap, flush the toilets in need of flushing, and tamp down the trash so it’s not overflowing. I’ve […]

I did this because I was so fat I could barely cut my own toenails and I felt uncomfortable in my own body. I was twenty pounds […]
In which I HAZ A MAD. Dear cell phone carrier, JUST FUCKING TELL ME HOW MUCH IT COSTS WHEN I ASK. I’m going to sign up anyway, and your stupid contract will ensure I can’t go anywhere. Do not tell me “it’s sixty-nine ninety-five a month,” when that number is as related to how much […]
In which I may be talkin’ shit about the iPad, but I still totally want one. There are these awesome people I’m friends with on Twitter. Right now they’re all pissed off at me because I don’t agree with them that the iPad is the Bestest Thing Evar And Proof That Apple is Ascendant In […]
