If everyone were as hot as their porno pictures, we'd all be movie stars
I was waiting for the perfect moment to write this entry...but I am in the middle of a gross paper on military reform in Russia and now seems as auspicious a time as any. I have also been motivated, in the last 20 minutes, by a creep I met at a bar on Saturday to whom I guiltily gave my number out of pity, who called me at 11:20 on a Wednesday ( Read more... ) -
Badly written political analysis
This weekend, amongst sleeping in, getting drunk, and being hit on by creepy men per usual, I did something that was arguably a waste of time: I watched the presidential debates. The reason that this could be perceived as a time-waster is that, really, no one gives a fuck what happens until the primaries.
The shit was scared out of me. Now, Tom ( Read more... ) -

Seeing "I'm Not There" this weekend reminded me of two things. One, that Cate Blanchett is one talented and sexy bitch, even playing a somewhat bedraggled man. Two, how many Bob Dylan songs could charm me into bed. The obvious is "Lay, Lady, Lay" of course - but how could you NOT swoon to "I'll Be Your Baby Tonight"? (closeyoureyes/closethedoor).

To PB or not to PB?
Earlier tonight I was bored, and therefore inspired by high school nostalgia I decided to look up, on Myspace, my elementary school crush. The word "crush" is misleading, actually - my real crushes were strapping young 9 year-olds who were brash and oblivious and probably grew up to play football and drink lots of beer. I dreamt of them carrying my ( Read more... ) -
TMI, IDC
Of all the stupid things to be done in the world, handcuffing my ex to my bed last night probably ranks near the top. -

We're sitting at a tiny table underneath a badly rotating ceiling fan in a crowded Italian restaurant. I feel miserable and he looks it, the kind of miserable that I know only playfully abrasive conversation and Shiraz can bring to him. We are being too honest and not careful enough, for what we are.
When you don't hate someone, it is not easy to ( Read more... ) -

SMOKE
It is wildfire season in Southern California, and I can tell. Fires are common at this time of year, but these few are especially raging. Our entire house smells like soot, and I cannot walk anywhere without being attacked by small particles of ash. My mother and I drove up the PCH today and turned around because a thick gray smoke had descended ( Read more... ) -

Let it be said, in hindsight, that I generally do not make the best decisions. I have a knack for getting drunk and kissing the wrong people, for being friendly to people I probably shouldn't, for sealing my lips about things that matter and opening them sometimes to say the one thing that hurts more than it helps. Most of all, I have a spectacular ( Read more... ) -
Well hello.
It's been a while.
