oh. oh god. whooops! HOW EMBARRASSING!!!!! sorry, kevin SHIELDS :(

good to know she's doin alright, generally. i can see where the talking-about-yr-cat's-health swindle could be highly effective - you should def. try it elsewhere!

"WE ARE RIDING A BRONTOSAURUS" -- !

That paragraph about the Filipino baby ritual is like a little comic already, and SGA is beautiful with her new Louisana hair.

Is New Orleans the new container for the YLostCosmonautMB? And have you found some Shepherds to walk down there? I am having trouble moving you in my mind from Hicksville to NOLA. Have you changed your profile page, I am too lazy to look. Is the updating updating because there is nobody in the room with you disturbing your thought waves? Is there really a Dodge Magnum? Is Blade Runner really your favorite movie? WTF is up with these voices?

Whoops, I see that you are Shepherdless.

Only semi-relatedly: Sometimes when I'm in mid-swing of thinking something really neurotic, I think about something you wrote where you said that the Devil loves it when you're neurotic, and then I don't go re-lock the door. JUST KEEP WALKING.

ah'll take yr questions in order:

A) Ah plan on being here and growing here for a while. It's like buying shoes a size too big, in anticipation

B) Not sure if ah changed my el gay profile page (2 lazy 2 look), but ah def changed my FB one. I remember because Billy Ray, who lives here, too, 'liked' it

C) Solitude does make it easier, as always

D) I saw a Dodge Magnum on th road recently, and it looked like a hearse, a v. handsome hearse, and it stuck in my mind. It turns out they were discontinued after th 2008 model

E) Blay Ronner's not my favourite, but I admire it, and I say its name aloud more than that of any other movie

F) Th "Mexican" accent is my least-practiced one of th three presented here. I often read to myself in "English" and talk to dogs in "Southern"

What's up, PDX? I "attended" that comix reading you were pimping last month; it was v. successful

How do you handle yr urges to update, if you have such urges anymore ( ... )

i like AB, and I like RR about 100x more. She make me shake it like a soda can

When you say dynamic duo, are you talking about scissoring, because I would definitely click on that

I wasn't thinking about scissoring, but I'll second that emotion.

jonathan richman's dancing was everything that was promised and more. he had them turn off the a/c because he didn't like the noise (i have no regrets in talking about the weather--down here, it is a Big Deal), so it was hot and crazy, but we danced and sang along, esp. to "i was dancing in a lesbian bar." his last tune for the night, "bohemia," was a great little autobiographical bit about how he got started as a teenager (and about how great his parents were about it) that i had not heard before. i would say you shoulda been there, but i suspect this post was the project you were working on, and its themes reasonably reflect what you probably would have gotten out of mr. richman.

in a grim dovetail to your mention in the comments about the nearest murder, there's this disturbing report. keep in mind: it's an average, of course.

i would like to take many of your thoughts on hating oneself and tattoo them across the foreheads of some of my friends.

i don't think any of your questions were dumb, but i think most of them involve ... )

did you read this?

http://www.salon.com/2012/05/29/mad_men_joan_did_the_right_thing/

i kinda think mad men jumped the shark in a lot of ways this season, but the debate that followed the episode discussed here was a good one. this is the take that's closest to my own, i guess.

p.s. mario, are you really gonna abandon this thing after 8 more updates? you better not! if you do i'm gonna bomb your FB wall with mafia war updates or some shit...

i had not read that, but i wasn't saying that joan had done wrong. the men of sterling cooper did wrong, the man at jaguar did wrong, america did wrong by not being a society where she could sue pete campbell for even bringing it up, capitalism did wrong for giving power to money (so to speak), and so on. joan got hurt (even if she benefited from it monetarily), and that was heartbreaking to see. "guy walks into an advertising agency"... is the wrong episode to cite. i meant to cite "sit down; have a seat," where joan is the one roger calls in to help them create SCDP.

oh whoops... i wasn't posting that to, like, antagonize you or anything. i agree that she got hurt - and this isn't the kind of storyline that fits neatly into some good/bad dichotomy, obviously. i was just reminded of it when i read your comment so i thought i'd pass it along. to be honest, i thought of it because you were saying that joan is the heart-and-soul of the show for you (which i agree with, though i'd also include roger and peggy in that category), and it's a good essay about joan.
